VancouverDogs Best Dog "Full" Name Contest!

2009-04-24T09:29:00.001-07:00

Ok, the press had started calling him Bo Obama. I never really refered to my dogs by adding my last name in, because 'Piddles Linton' just sounds wrong to me.

Now that I've been living here in Vancouver's west end for a while though, I've become a lot more open-minded.

What's your dog's 'Full Name'? Comment on this post and let us know! The absolute best one will receive a special mention here at VancouverDog.

If the contest really takes off, we'll toss in a prize. Spread the word!

Vancouver GLBT Dog Resources

2009-04-09T14:24:00.000-07:00

Vancouver's West End is home to one of Canada's largest gay and lesbian communities and we are definitely dog lovers!

All of the resources on this site are GLBT friendly. If they aren't, let us know and we'll remove them.

Check out the maps for dog parks, pet stores, and known dog friendly apartment buildings. Dog friendly events will be listed as well.

Specific dog resources for the GLBT community will be listed here. If you know of anything, feel free to comment and we'll add it.

Some interesting notes:

- Check out the dog park at Nelson and Bute. You can easily meet new folks here from the GLBT community. You might even get a dog-walking date!

- More to come, feel free to comment and we'll add content to this post!

Vancouver West End and Kitsilano Dog Friendly Apartments

2009-04-09T13:32:00.000-07:00

These maps are to show the dog friendly apartment buildings in Vancouver's West End and Kitsilano areas. Still in development, obviously. The maps do not indicate vacancies, only that the building is a known dog and pet friendly building.

Please note, the building management can change their pet policy at any time. Even if they allow pets they may insist on meeting your dog, and they can deny your application as they see fit.

Click on the icons for more information. We "think" these apartments are dog friendly, but no guarantees. For information on vacancies, check on MyWestEnd.ca.

You might also want to check the Bed Bug Registry for any address downtown or in Kits. It's an ongoing problem at some buildings (and some that allow dogs).

We're also including a Craigslist feed for the West End and Kitsilano Dog Friendly apartments listed there. Alas, no geo-feed, so no map, but keep an eye on the listings to find your perfect pet-friendly apartment!

KEEP IN MIND this feed is automatic and if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is! A 2br apartment for $800 downtown will be a SCAM.

VancouverDog.net's Vision

2009-01-15T23:59:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!

Thanks for joining me here on VancouverDog.net. I started this website for the sole reason of raising money for the SPCA. I lost my own dog not that long ago (he show's up in the Flickr feed once in a while and that's him there!), and as he was a shelter dog, I thought it was time to give something back. I know a little about websites, so here it is.

All proceeds (not just profits, but every last dime) generated as a result of this website, from ads or otherwise, will be donated to the BC SPCA in Vancouver.

Longer term, I'll be trying to develop a loyalty card and discount program. If any businesses would be interested in trading FREE advertising on this site in exchange for a member discount for this program, please let me know!

Thanks again for joining! Add pics to Flickr or Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and more to come!

Please note not all pages work yet, as we're still very much under construction. Any ideas are most welcome.

-Dan
