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.
Rocco has spent too much of his young life in a crate, and is STOKED to be free and living with a family. He is a super loving, super affectionate boy with a pile of energy. He can be a little bit neurotic/busy so we would like to place him with a very active couple.
We do not recommend Rocco for young children despite the fact he LOVES kids. Due to his extended time in a kennel, he has developed resource guarding over toys and food, which can be managed by adults and older kids. The guarding extends to other dogs, so while he is amazing meeting dogs out and about, he can guard food and toys in the home. We would place him in a home with a firm, confident dog that would help him with boundaries.
Rocco can keep up to bikes, skis and runners - his recall is spectacular. He will make someone a perfect best friend.

Dougie also comes from a CATF clinic in Alberta. He was so scared during the vet exam that we had to deconstruct his crate around him. His first days in foster care he would pee when approached. But a few weeks in and he is starting to dog! He ADORES other dogs and really needs them to regulate so we won't consider a dog-free home at this time. Dougie is very sweet and has massive potential to be an amazing family pet, he just needs someone patient to wait for him to come around. He is now leash-walking, jumping in and out of the car on his own, and house trained. He is super food motivated. Dougie does have naughty puppy moments and needs to be crated when unsupervised else he will find the food and gather your shoes.
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.
Located in Jaffray Lake
