Misty - on home trial
|
Misty is a 2 year old mountain cur mix who just weened the puppies we recently adopted! She is friendly and playful, loves people and is respectful dogs. She can be nervous around large or overly-energetic dogs, but loves to play with those her size.
Misty will do well in a moderate-energy home. She would love a life of hiking and biking. Due to a neglected upbringing, she needs basic training but is super sweet and eager to please. Cats don't seem to catch her interest at the shelter, but she might be a chaser under the right circumstances. If you think you have the right home for this beautiful girl, please get in touch. Misty is not spayed - we will pay for her surgery once she arrives. |
Luna - on home trial
Luna has arrived! She is completely different from what we expected. At the shelter, she exhibited signs of intense fear, and was very timid around new people. As soon as she arrived in foster care, she completely relaxed. She is affectionate, attentive, very food motivated, keen to meet new people and wants to play with dogs (though her first instinct is to run away). Luna can sit and is learning to leash walk. She will stay with someone she knows if off-leash, but may be pulled away by distractions.
She is certainly a food scrounge and will likely be very clever about finding food for the first while in a new home. We are told she is just one year old! She is spayed and vaccinated.
Come meet her in Rossland!

Keesa
Keesa comes to us from a rescue partner in Calgary. She is a small (40lb) husky at the respectable age of 8 years. Keesa had a litter of puppies in September, but was just spayed so no more hardship of birth on this poor gal.
She is quite timid and takes a few days to warm up to people. She seems fine with other dogs, but has not shown an interest in playing or really interacting with them. Keesa has a gentle spirit and becomes affectionate once she feels safe and cared for. She is good with cats.
With a background of neglect, she does need some dental surgery (which HEART will take care of) and appears to be sensitive around her back end. A blood panel has shown that her organs are in good health!
Our hope for Keesa is to find a quiet retirement home with an older couple, or people with lower activity level. The energy of children would just be too much for her. She doesn't need much exercise or stimulation, and is very quiet and well-mannered in the house so would be a wonderful companion.
She is being fostered in Rossland, BC if you would like to meet her.

DOGS NEED RIDES
H.E.A.R.T., along with several other organizations, aims to relocate and rehome dogs from high kill situations in Northern Canada to the West Kootenays. In order to do this the dogs need to be transported from various Northern shelters.
If you are traveling between Edmonton and anywhere in the West Kootenays, please get in touch with H.E.A.R.T. at the email below. We will give you gas money and lend you all the equipment needed to help with transportation of the dogs (such as crates, bowls, food etc).
Your services will be rewarded by a grateful traveling companion that will listen to all your stories with relish and won't complain about your music choices!
