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.
Luna
6 year old lab hound Mix
female - 35lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: selective
Cats: no
Rossland, BC
Status : Available
Luna has an interesting story, but this kind of stuff does happen. She was adopted out of Alberta Animal Services as a puppy - she was in a bit of a questionable home but does have house manners (aside from the odd counter surf incident) for years until her poppa committed a serious crime and she was seized by bylaw at the time of his arrest.
She is a petite lab/hound mix who adores people, is quiet, well behaved in the home, fairly good on leash and so far has good recall. She is obsessed with fetch and the ball should only come out outside when you have time to launch it for a decent stretch.
Luna does well in the car and left home unattended. So far she gets quite excitable around cats so we are saying no for now. She is also reactive with some dogs - ie, if they come at her too quickly or aggressively, she will become aggressive back. She has also been bossy to submissive dogs in the home. Might be a solo-princess kinda girl.
Bubbles
9 week old female
Cur X
9 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Trail, BC
Status : Home trial
​
Bubbles handled the flight from Yellowknife AND the drive from Calgary like an absolute champ - better than most of the adults that have to suffer through that journey.
​
She is a sweet, quiet, mild-natured pup who goes with the flow. A cur is the type of dog all dogs will eventually look like if breeds perpetually intermix :D
​
A picture of her mom is included, and based on features and colouring, this is pretty much exactly what she will grow to look like (fatter and cleaner of course). Mum is about 35lbs so a nice medium-sized dog.
Jersey
16 week old male
Border Collie Mix
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Rossland, BC
Status : Home Trial
​​
Jersey is male a border collie shepherd mix who is very smart, gentle and social.
Quite calm for a pup - enjoys a rousing game of fetch. He does do some resource guarding and can be uncertain meeting new dogs. Jersey is a very intelligent boy who can be full of sass and definitely knows what he likes and does not like. He will tell off much bigger dogs if he doesn't feel like playing, and he will park his butt in the middle of a walk if he is bored or cold. He does well off-leash and enjoys playing with select friends.
​​
As he came to us from AARCS, he has already been neutered and will have an adult adoption fee of $400.
Aspen
6 month old female
Pyrenees/ retriever mix
45 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Trail, BC
Status : Available
Aspen and her siblings found themselves at Red Deer animal services after the whole crew caught parvo and the owner/breeder couldn't afford the vet bills. They all survived and are thriving now. Aspen was the most shy of the group, even getting picked on sometimes by the others.
​
She is a happy girl who is quiet, and loves to relax on dog beds and couches. She is good with other dogs and cats as well, her calm demeanor bodes well for other small animals.
​
We have discovered that Aspen gets stressed about vehicle travel and wouldn't be a good fit for someone who wants to road trip with their dog. Ideally, her home will have trails close to home.
​
​
Princess is a pretty typical husky - she is fun, playful, and smart. She will rule the roost without a good amount of daily exercise and strong boundaries.
Princess does love other dogs and having a companion to play with would put less pressure on her humans.
This girl is excited to meet people of all ages. She can jump up to say hello when she's very excited, so maybe much smaller children wouldn't be a fit.
​
Princess enjoys being outside and would tolerate an outdoor run. She does dig if bored, however, so a playmate would be wonderful. She can have some mild separation anxiety so we do recommend crating if she doesn't have her own hang out space when left alone.

Simba
1 year old husky mix
male - 45lbs
Kids: older
Dogs: yes
Cats: maybe
Rossland, BC
Status : Home trial
Simba is one of the most affectionate huskies we've ever had. For a breed that is known to be aloof, he clearly didn't get the memo because he is a cuddle bug to the extreme.
When Simba came to us he was hit hard with parvovirus and spent a night in hospital. He recovered quickly and was back to his spunky, happy-go-lucky self.
Simba walks fairly well on leash and is happy to play with other dogs.
We have not yet seen him with cats.
​
Simba is very eager to please and learns incredibly quickly. He came to us as a counter-surfer, leash-puller and jumper - within a week, he could be left alone in a home unattended. He was scared to get into cars, now leaps in enthusiastically knowing it means a walk adventure. His recall is good but he is very social and WILL go say hello to people and dogs regardless of what you say :>

Russet
15 week old shepherd Mix
female - 18lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Trail, BC
Status : Available
This entire litter was named after potatoes because you can imagine what they looked like as wee babies. Russet is quite timid at first, and can bark at new people and sometimes dogs. She is also more on the sensitive side, and enjoys a good cuddle.
​
Russet is now house trained and will ask to go out to do her business. She runs warm and will often sit at the entry way to get some cool air on her. She loves off-leash hikes and has learned to paw at people for affection.
​
This very calm and clever girl has a few large dog friends in the neighbourhood that she loves. She will submit to over-bearing dogs and prefers calm ones to play with.
Princess
3 year old female
Husky X
60 lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: maybe
Winlaw, BC
Status : Available
​
Princess has come to us from the Yellowknife SPCA. She is a dog that is full of happiness and spirit. She has some energy that she loves to burn by playing fetch or, preferable, wrestling with other dogs. We want to see Princess in a home with other dogs as she is such a social creature.
She can sometimes jump up to say hello and is always looking for a meal. We don't get many chubby dogs from up north, but she has done well for herself :>
A halti or front lead harness would help with managing leash walks as she is quite new to those. She is ok off-leash if she has bonded to her person, but has moments where she dances away, like when she knows it's time to be leashed or get in the car.
This girl would do really well in a busy family as she likes to be entertained and pet - many hands make light work!

3 year old collie mix
female - 55lbs
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Rossland, BC
Status : Available
Stella comes to us from Misty Creek (Lethbridge) after spending quite some time at the facility there. She was clearly someone pet as she is calm, sweet, gentle and has good house manners (aside from counter surfing for unattended food).
​
Stella plays well with other dogs and is generally disinterested in cats. She has pretty good leash manners as well.
​​
Her recall needs work, but she likely just needs to a) learn her name or b) bond to someone in order to want to run lovingly to their call.
​
She is currently not spayed but will be booked in by mid-December.
Chloe was taken in by a family who can no longer care for her. She is in a home with kids and cats, and does great with other dogs. She is house and crate-trained, has good recall, and loves to be with her people.
​
Chloe would benefit from a busy family where she can get lots of attention, and someone who is active, or at least has another dog to play with.
​
She is a very sweet girl who is a great size for biking and running... and road trips!
