About dog adoption in Courtenay
Courtenay is the hub of the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island's east coast, about 75 minutes north of Nanaimo on the Inland Island Highway. No rescue currently lists adoptable dogs directly in Courtenay on LocalPetFinder, and mid-Island adopters know the pattern: the steadiest rescue inventory sits south in Nanaimo, and Highway 19 makes that a manageable trip.
This page pulls the adoptable dogs from rescues serving the Nanaimo area, including the BC SPCA, into one place for Comox Valley families. Listings refresh regularly, and you apply directly with the rescue that has the dog; most arrange a meet and greet at the shelter or foster home once your application is in.
If nothing here fits today, set up an email alert below and we will tell you the moment a dog is listed in Courtenay itself or in the Nanaimo area. And if you are a Comox Valley owner who needs to rehome a dog, you can list them here free — owner listings appear at the top of this page where local adopters see them first.

Courtenay Dog Adoption FAQ
Are there dog rescues in Courtenay?
No rescue currently lists adoptable dogs directly in Courtenay on LocalPetFinder. Comox Valley adopters are served by Island organisations including the BC SPCA, with Nanaimo about 75 minutes south on Highway 19. Owner-rehomed dogs listed in Courtenay itself also appear on this page first as they come up.
How far do Courtenay adopters travel to adopt a dog?
Usually 60 to 90 minutes: Nanaimo is the nearest city with steady rescue inventory, straight down the Inland Island Highway. Most rescues arrange a meet and greet once your application is approved, so you typically make the drive once.
Can I list a dog for rehoming in Courtenay?
Yes. If you can no longer keep your dog, you can list them on LocalPetFinder free and choose Courtenay as the location. Your dog stays home with you until you approve an adopter, and Courtenay listings appear at the top of this page where local adopters see them first.
