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.

Meet Baz! This adorable, joyful little dude was scooped from a community near Cold Lake Alberta by the CATF. Baz has an erratic walk due to his brain not communicating well with his hind legs. He has a disc in his spine that is smaller than the others and it is likely pressing on his nerves. He doesn't exhibit pain and goes HARD with his legs just skittering around all over the place. The vet suggested it may get worse over time and he may possibly lose use of his legs at some point. We believe he has many years in him and hope someone can love him in the mean time. He is very social, sticks around off leash, loves cats and dogs, and is good in the home. He does cry if separated from his people so apartment living is not for him.
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

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.
