CURRENT ADOPTABLES
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.

Kisa has been in a home since puppyhood and an unfortunate change in relationship and work schedule finds her on the verge of homelessness. She is a sweet girl who is good in the house and good with kids.
She has shown preference to be the only pet in the home so we're hoping to find that placement. Kisa is a sensitive girl who can sometimes be reactive with other dogs when her home life is unsettled. This mostly occurs on leash; she is generally ok meeing dogs when free. We are hoping for a stable environment that is able to meet her affection and exercise needs.

Trail BC
Status : Available


What a journey this little girl has had. Those giant Disney eyes are just waiting for someone to trust and believe in. Willow was tied up to a small plywood box in a community West of Yellowknife for her entire life. After her first litter of puppies, the owner decided to stop feeding her and her pregnant sister (Dallas) in what we assume was an effort to have a rescue take them in as everyone was full and refusing.
A neighbour drove Willow and Dallas 22 hours to Calgary to catch a ride to us. Both dogs were skeletal, scared and unaccustomed to indoor life. In a few short weeks, Willow has discovered play, tail wags and that she enjoys belly rubs. This adorable creature melts the heart of anyone who meets her.
Mocha
4 year old female
Shepherd mix
40lbs
Kids: older
Dogs: selective
Cats: maybe
Grand Forks, BC
Status : Available

Mocha was adopted a year ago and has come back to us due to the quite common family break up/work schedule change combo. Mocha is easily stressed and it took her some time to adapt to her foster home.
She is dog selective, but good meeting well mannered dogs. She will respond to aggression with aggression, however. She desperately wants to play with the cats in the home, chasing and licking them, but can also be scared of dominant cats.
Mocha is well behaved in the home and walks well on leash. She may not have received the exercise and stimulation she truly needs at her former home as her off leash recall is poor. That usually changes with frequent adventures.
This girl is a sweet dog with a nice temperament with people once she grows comfortable.
Clover
2 year old female
Shepherd Husky Mix
60 lbs
Kids: no
Dogs: yes
Cats: maybe
Revelstoke, BC
Status : Available

Clover has had a rough go of things, which has led to her having some challenging behaviours. She will need a loving, patient home, preferably child-free. We know it's a big ask and families willing to take on an imperfect dog are rare, but we hope her people are out there.
She is VERY affectionate and playful with people, and does great with other dogs.
Her main issue of concern is her resource guarding of food and toys, which looks like lunging and snapping, sometimes making contact. Her current fosters are managing this by not trying to take things from her mouth, and not playing tug games.
Clover either lost part of her foot in a trap or was born with a missing back paw. At 6 months of age she arrived at a shelter in the NWT where she remained for over a year, in crowded and somewhat neglectful conditions.
Clover walks well on-leash but is new to being in a home and will often walk onto furniture, especially to find food. She may have a condition called pica as well, as she eats non-food items frequently.
Ross
1.5 year old male
Husky Mix
40 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Trail, BC
Status : Available

Ross can't believe his luck that he's in the Kootenays! This Inuvik-born lad is super sweet and enthusastic about life. Ross loves other dogs and enjoys wrestling with his foster sister.
This boy is very comfortable in a home with other dogs; he picks his dog bed and snoozes most of the day away as long as he gets out for his daily off leash run. He is very affectionate and can sit next to you for scratches all day if you allow it.
Ross does well off leash in a wilderness area - with lots of people around he can get distracted and go for an explore. He checks in often on walks, and sits for treats.
This very sweet boy is good left alone in the house, though will cry for the first little while you leave so not ideal for an apartment situation.
Jersey
2 year old female
Collie Mix
40 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Trail, BC
Status : Home Trial


Jersey arrived from Misty Creek rescue in Lethbridge after being found at large. She was clearly a farm dog and it took her a little while to adjust to inside life, but now she knows the routine.
She is super loyal and attaches hard to her people - she will be a shadow for you in the home, and can cry for a little while when first left alone.
Jersey does well meeting most dogs, and has been successful around chickens, goats and cats.
We are looking for a home without too many steep stairs. Her mobility is fine and she plays and runs well, but has a mental block when it comes to certain stairs. She would actually be adopted right now if the family who loved her had a house she could move freely in.

Ripley
1.5 year old female
Huksy Bull Terrier mix
50 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Fernie, BC
Status : Available

Ripley caught a ride out of Fort Smith NT, and landed with us in Edmonton. She recently arrived in Fernie and is currently living with 3 dogs, and several cats. She is a very sweet, energetic girl who loves to run and play. She also enjoys a good nap after exercise.
Ripley is used to being untethered, so is good off leash, but pulls on-leash. Her current foster uses a halti and she is getting used to that quite well.
This girl will make the perfect mountain dog for those active Fernie folks - biking, skiing, swimming - she would be so happy!
Luna - Puppy Mum
2-3 year old female
Lab Husky mix
50 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Nakuso, BC
Status : Available


Luna gave birth to 7 beautiful puppies in Saddle Lake a week or so before we arrived to help at the CATF clinic. Her pups have all been adopted, and now it's her turn! Luna is a super sweet, very affectionate girl that will become your shadow.
She is currently on a farm with several dogs, children, cats and horses, and does well with all of the animals EXCEPT the chickens. She enjoys chasing and biting at birds.
Luna doesn't love being confined and is a bit of an escape artist. She was, however, in a kennel environment and may do just fine in a house or fenced yard.
