Stevie comes to us from Yellowknife. She is a 3 year old lab so full of love and energy. She'll do really well in an active home where she is either the only dog, or with a dog that is mellow and won't try to take her toys or be jealous of her getting human affection. Stevie will bark at strangers when out on walks, but this can be corrected with training. Stevie is being fostered in Nelson, BC.

Rufus
|
Rufus is a young (maybe 2 years old) mystery mix that comes to us from an Edmonton pound. He is about 70lbs and very loving; he responds well to affection and neck scratches. Rufus is house trained and seems eager to play with other dogs. He will need to polish his leash training, but is otherwise a lovely creature. He will likely chase squirrels in the forest, and has not yet been cat tested. His neuter surgery is scheduled for late April. Come meet him in Rossland, BC.

Dogs for re-homing (These are not HEART Rescue dogs - courtesy posts)
Kali (Rossland) is a 2 year old lab, collie, shepherd cross. She is very loving, gentle and driven to please. She is very sharp with her basic commands and she is trained on and off leash. When on walks she enjoys hunting squirrels and will run off and disappear for short periods of time but always comes back to where you are. She loves to fetch and has about a 50% success rate with returning the thrown item. She is a very social animal and loves being around people, but she can also tolerate times alone in the house without any concern for chewing or accidents. With her being so social she is your little shadow around the house- wherever you go she follows. She would do best in a home where there are people around for her to socialize with. She is excellent with other dogs and cats- very playful and puppy like with no aggressive attributes. She is a very active, healthy dog and loves getting long runs in. During the summer months she is excellent behind a mountain bike (knows to 'stay in the back') and in the winter she loves to ski with you. She can be a bit of a guard dog and will bark at the door when someone knocks, but once she sees the person she stops barking. On the trails, if she isn't kept close, she has the tendency to bark at the people walking towards. No history of aggression. She has not been around children very much in her lifetime- I do not know how she is with them; I predict that if she were to have more time with children she would be a lovely family dog.
NEEKO (Creston) - 7 year old husky. Very intelligent and loyal, will stick around a property without a fence (once it feels like home). Has doggy friends but lacks confidence so can be nervous during meets and aggressive toward "in your face" dogs, he is also possessive of his toys in the home. He is timid around strangers but warms up quickly. Looking for a home where Neeko can be the center of animal attention. Neeko is uncertain of kids as well, so a home without children is ideal. He is full of love and playful, and will make a great best friend for the right person.
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!
