CURRENT ADOPTABLES
WE HAVE HERDING BREEDS IN CALGARY WAITING FOR RIDES! IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TO THE WEST KOOTENAY PLEASE REACH OUT
Anyone that has had the opportunity to adopt an abused or neglected dog will understand what a powerful thing it is. Seeing them transform into a confident and joyful pet will absolutely fill your heart.
These moments of growth are matched only by the devotion they will show you when they come to understand you are their hero and have given them life.
Taz is a unique dog who is looking for a particular home. When first meeting everyone, he is chill and friendly. He knows lots of commands and is excellent in the house, he also walks well on leash.
Where we're struggling with finding a home is that Taz attaches very hard to the woman of the home, and then becomes protective of her (growling, standing between... etc). He is super loyal and will be an amazing partner for someone who doesn't have a lot of traffic through the home. We are hoping for either a single woman, partnered women, or a single man (he seems to attach to men find if there is no woman as first choice lol) to give him a chance.

Duchess comes to us from the NWT SPCA where she spent quite a lot of time at both the shelter and in foster care. She is a sweet, affectionate, well mannered girl who is starting to mellow out at the ripe age of 7. She is, however, still a husky and will find a way out of a poorly secured yard if she's feeling bored.
Duchess has good meet manners and often initiates play with other dogs. She loves the dog part, and a fenced running area is a good idea until she can be trusted with her recall. She pulls a little on leash but can be directed.
Duchess is very good in the house and on car rides. She has shown interest in cats and birds so we wouldn't place her in a home with small pets.
Muskwa was another pick up from the CATF clinic. She is another shy girl as well, but so gentle and quiet, and figures things out pretty quickly. She is good with cats, and fits in well with the large pack at her foster home.
Muskwa is working on her off leash recall but walks well on leash. Her fosters are retired so she isn't home alone a lot, which means we don't have a lot of info on her solo manners.
She is happy in the yard or in the home. First moments in a new environment she will try to escape, but gets comfortable in a day or two.

Rossland, BC
Status : AVAILABLE
Yes, her ears are always like that. Binoo is a very sweet, gentle, and a little bit timid 2 year old girl from Yellowknife. She experienced some starvation at some point as she is very food motivated. She won't try to snatch it from your hands, but will take opportunities to sneak counter treats if you leave a room. This may take a long time to extinguish. She hasn't shown any food aggression with people or dogs.
Binoo is quiet meeting other dogs and has been known to play chase, but it takes a special friend to get her out of her shell. She is timid meeting people but becomes affectionate quickly. She is great off-leash and on car rides.
