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!

Marmaduke (Duke) was abandoned by his family at the Edmonton Humane Society after they refused to pay the fine for his being found running at large. He looks to be a mastiff/great dane cross and weighs in at about 90lbs. He is estimated to be 2 to 3 years old and needs to be neutered (appointment pending). Duke is accustomed to being outdoors but has clearly not been leash walked often. He is gentle and quiet, not meets new dogs slowly and politely, eager to play if they are.
We've had him off-leash and while he doesn't have good recall, he naturally stays within eye sight, and is happy to jump in the car at the end of the adventure. He is good alone in the house, though will whine for a short time after his people leave. 
Duke's ideal home would be a larger, fenced property where he can spend days outside and evenings in with a family. His body type isn't suited for biking or running, but he does enjoy long walks. We are not yet sure how he is with smaller animals.
