CURRENT ADOPTABLES
WE OFTEN HAVE DOGS IN EDM AND CALG 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 park, 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.
This girl is far more affectionate than your typical husky. Come meet her!
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.

Peach was scooped up from Siksika Nation during a spay clinic. Five of her 4 month old pups were also surrendered there. She is new to being a pet, but what she has immediately gotten good at is showing and accepting affection, sticking close off-leash and staying indoors unsupervised.
She isn't sure about having a leash on. She also lacks confidence in transitions (ie - leaving the house or going back in the house). She doesn't love going IN the crate but settles once there.
Are you the family to show her that the rest of her life will be love and comfort?
This girl was SO unsure when we chose her at the spay/neuter clinic. She didn't want to get out of her crate and had to be carried outside to pee. She was underweight and dehydrated, with super long nails indicative of a tethered dog.
About an hour into the van ride home, she tried to get into a lap. It didn't take long for her to gently seek out attention. She is polite meeting other dogs, food motivated, and very clever. She isn't sure about leash walking yet but has good recall in a fenced area.
She crosses her front paws when laying down like a regal princess.
Floki already has the foundation to be a super sweet and loyal companion. She just needs some more time to feel safe and confident, especially around men.

This beautiful girl also comes to us from Siksika nation. She is very much a puppy in a long, lanky, awkward, wiggly body. Jenga is on track to be a BIG girl.
She is very sweet and affectionate - she loves human and dog companionship and likes being close to people. She very much wants to play with other dogs but is a tangled mess of limbs and loose skin.
Jenga can be bossy around food and attention, and will bulldoze smaller dogs out of the way. We don't recommend a home with breeds under 25lbs. She is food motivated and very trainable. She sleeps in a crate, does great off leash and has good leash manners until she REALLY wants to go play.
