Our Love of Dogs
Who We Are
Hi we are Kim and Mike...well actually this is our boy Spike - isn't he handsome?! We are the founders and owners of Urban Canine Adventures, and we have an endless love for dogs. That's how Urban Canine Adventures was born. Our boutique style daycare was designed as a home away from home, providing your dog with love and a safe environment to play, learn and thrive. Kim is a trainer and behaviour therapist and can work with you and your dog individually to help you both learn and grow while addressing behaviour challenges. Book a meet and greet & come see what makes us so different. We look very forward to meeting you and your dog!
The Rescues...
Ellie - a miniature Schnauzer and my first rescue/re-home, she was adopted from family members and lived out her life with us.
Coop - a tall feisty little Boston Terrier and a client surrender. He was just grew up in the wrong environment. At 5 years old he came to Kim as a surrender and after many months in foster care with Kim, we found him a forever home and he lives his best life with friends here in Vernon.
Fergus - what a nice boy, he was a young dog only 11 months when surrendered by clients. He was a beautiful breed mix. We bonded so fast and he was a great companion for Sam and loved to swim with me. He lived out his life with Kim and Sam. We miss Fergus.
Spike - Kim's first Shepherd, he is a very special boy. He was surrendered at 8 months as a 'dangerous dog' and has proven to be anything but. Spike is full of love, very gentle with people and other dogs, and is a big fun, boy who loves to fetch, swim, helps Mike with any mechanic work, and loves his truck rides.
Ferdinand - a blue nosed pitty, he was brought to Kim through a rescue in Texas having been adopted out to a family in Kelowna who decided after 2 weeks to send him back to Texas. The rescue asked for our assistance to keep him from being sent back to Texas and euthanized. We fostered Ferdinand for three years. The most gentle of souls, Ferdinand was a bait dog in Texas and was gentle as a dove. In March 2024, we found him the most perfect forever home and he now lives his life with balance and in peace.
Buddy - labeled with "cocker rage", Buddy was an outcast, A local rescue asked for help and Buddy lived with us until he crossed the rainbow bridge in Spring 2025. He was deaf, mostly blind. He's a perfect example that you cannot judge a dog's behavior without getting to know the pup himself. He had defensive aggression, and was a feisty old fart. But so full of love, character and so obedient and loyal. We miss him so.
Jake and Mabel - both dogs are now our happy resident greeters during meet and greets! Both these little cuties were rescues in 2024 as young puppies. They grew up together and became loving siblings very quickly. Now they live their best life us and Spike, on our acreage.
