NAME BREED / SEX / AGE STATUS
Morgan German Shepherd X / Female / 6 years
Available

Morgan

Morgan

Morgan is a calm, gentle girl who can be a little on the shy side initially. She loves to be with her people as much as possible so her new family will need to help her learn it’s cool to have some down time alone too. Morgan is super smart gal who knows all her basic obedience and is a very quick learner. She loves to run and would probably make a great jogging partner. Morgan has been known to do her Houdini impression and attempt to escape from her run, so caution should be used if she is outside alone! She got on well with the dogs and cats in her previous home and whilst she has been around children, she prefers the older, calmer ones. Morgan is a wonderful girl who is anxious to get on with the rest of her life with her new forever family!

Turner American Staff. Terrier X / Male / 1 year
Available

Turner

Turner is a playful and curious boy who can sometimes get a little over-excited. He is a fun-loving dog with a happy-go-lucky temperament. Although mid-sized, Turner is a strong boy with lots of energy and will do well in a home where he can get lots exercise. This cute guy is rather partial to his food toys so may be a little reluctant to share them with younger children. Turner has lots of love to give his forever family and can’t wait to start his new life with them!

 
Chuck Blue Heeler X / Male / 1 year
Available

Chuck

Chuck2

 

Chuck is no stranger to the shelter having first arrived here in July 2009. He is currently spending time at one of our wonderful foster homes where he is thoroughly enjoying family life! Chuck is an extremely intelligent and very food motivated boy who loves to learn new things. He has a lot of energy to burn and would love a household with another doggy playmate. Chuck is a great running partner who like the Energizer bunny can go on and on – in fact he’s run up to 16k and would still carry on given the chance! He also knows agility and was so quick to learn that he has mastered most of the equipment in a very short amount of time and loved the work!
Chuck was not always such a lovely boy though, and he does have his “quirks” that his new home will need to be prepared to continue working on with him. He would do well in a home with people who have positive reinforcement knowledge and experience. Chuck is a quick learner and with good guidance and direction, it won’t be long before he becomes that wonderful family pet we all want.
Chuck is a really great dog with a lot to offer his new home, but he is not the right dog for everyone, so he will need that special someone to adopt this special boy. He enjoys being around people and spending time in the great outdoors. Chuck is a true companion to those that love, feed, and exercise him and he is depending on his new family to keep up the good work that has been done with him during his lengthy stay with us. Chuck is looking for an energetic adult home that will continue with his training and can keep his mind and body challenged and of course, provide him with all the love this great guy deserves!

Chuck is currently in foster care.  To see him please call 403-932-2072 ext 113 to make an appointment.

 
Blackie Border Collie & American Staff. Terrier X / Male / 3 years
Available
Blackie

Blackie is a fun, mid-sized boy with bundles of energy. He can get a little over-excited at time so would enjoy obedience classes to help him fine tune his manners and social skills. Blackie is like an overgrown pup, who loves to play and will enjoy being in an active household. He is a loyal boy who is affectionate and attentive to his handler. Blackie is a great dog who is patiently waiting for a loving family to provide him with a wonderful new forever home!

 

 
Sammy German Shepherd X / Female / 1 year
Available

Sammy

Sammy

Sammy is an affectionate girl who is a little on the shy side. She is a young girl who would probably enjoy obedience classes to help build her confidence and brush up on her manners. Sammy knows some basic commands and is smart and a quick learner. She has lived with other dogs and cats but does like to chase livestock! Sammy can be a little exuberant so might be too boisterous for little children. Sammy loves attention and is rather partial to belly rubs! This affectionate girl would love to be with a family where she will receive lots of love and attention and can let her playful side shine through!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Ozzie Border Collie X / Male / 2 years
Available

Ozzie

Ozzie

Ozzie is a really nice dog looking for a great new forever home. He is a playful, smart and fun boy who has a tendency to get a little over-excited when playing. Because Ozzie can sometimes get over-zealous during a play session, he would prefer to go to an experienced home with older children. Ozzie absolutely LOVES other dogs and is fantastic with them, so would really enjoy having a canine friend in the home that he can hang out and play with. Unfortunately, he is not so keen on cats so would rather not have them around! Ozzie knows his basic commands and walks nicely on leash, but would enjoy attending obedience classes to help him bond with his new people. He loves walking and running so would make an excellent jogging partner. Ozzie is a great boy who is anxious to get on with the rest of his life in his forever home!

 

 
Hickory Labrador Retriever / Male / 2 years
Adopted
Hickory

What a handsome boy our Hickory is with his chestnut locks! Unbelievably, this great guy was found tied to a tree outside our Shelter but he is none the worse for wear following his ordeal. Hickory is a typical fun lab with boundless energy and a great outlook on life. He can be a little pushy and is lacking a bit in the manners department so would like to attend obedience classes with his new people and would prefer a home with older children. Hickory is a playful boy who seems to think he is still a puppy – perhaps we should have called him Peter Pan! He is affectionate and loves all the attention and pets he can get. Hickory is looking for a fun-loving and active home where he can spend time playing with his new forever family in the great outdoors!

 

 
Tia Rottweiler X / Female / 5 years
Available

Tia

 

 

Tia is a special girl waiting for that special someone to come adopt her – how can you resist those big brown eyes? She is a calm, gentle girl who is attentive to her handler. Tia is used to living outside but also loves to be indoors around her people (and on their laps, given half the chance!) She has been known to do her Houdini impression so if left outside alone, she might go for a little walkabout! Tia has good basic obedience but is a big, strong girl so would prefer a home away from small children whom she would hate to bowl over accidently. She is a playful girl who loves a good game of fetch or a nice cooling dip in the water. She is good with dogs and cats but has yet to encounter livestock. Tia is a loving girl looking for a home where she can spend lots of time around her people as she loves all the company she can get!

 
Ringo American Pitbull Terrier X / Male / 1 year
Currrently Unavailable

Ringo

Ringo

Our Ringo is a real star and one of the fab (thirty) four dogs we have at the Shelter! He is a very friendly, gentle boy who loves attention and seems to do well with other dogs. Ringo is a happy-go-lucky boy who looks like he’s tap dancing when he’s excited! He is rather partial to his food and toys so would prefer a home with older children and people with breed knowledge. “Help!”, it’s been “A long & winding road” for Ringo, but “With a little help from his friends” at the Shelter, Ringo is well on his way to finding a new forever home. At the end of the day “All you need is love” and Ringo will provide his adopters with bucket loads of that!

Ringo is currently in foster care. To see him please call 403-932-2072 ext 113 to make an appointment.

Blue

Blue

Blue is a special boy looking for the perfect home to provide him all the love and attention he deserves. He is a friendly guy that loves people and is eager to please them. Blue is a quick learner who responds really well to positive reinforcement training and would enjoy attending classes with his new people. He is attentive to his handler, walks well on leash and will flourish with positive leadership from an experienced owner. Blue can be a little on the serious side but you can see he is dying to let his hair down and have his playful side shine through. He is an energetic boy who loves his walks and would enjoy an active home with older children. Blue can’t wait to curl up with his new people and watch a good game of hockey with his idol Don Cherry commentating – well who wouldn’t?!

Available
Abby

Abby is a good looking girl and a great mid-sized dog. She is very energetic and always on the go so would love to live in an active household. Abby is house-trained and appears to be a quick learner who knows her basic obedience, although she can be easily distracted. She is a strong girl who responds to positive leadership and would do well in a home with older children and an experienced owner who knows her breed.

Pat German Shepherd X / Female / 1 year
Available
Pat

Pat is a really, sweet mid-sized dog and a very pretty girl too! She can be a little insecure and unsure of herself but is calm, quiet and very affectionate. Pat enjoys attention and would certainly see herself as a lap dog, given half the chance! She enjoys her food and would prefer a home with older children so that little hands don’t get in the way of her eating. Pat is attentive to her handler and walks well on leash. This is one beautiful blond your partner won’t mind you looking at adoringly and she’s sure to win everyone’s heart so come see Pat today!

 
Sophena Collie X / Female / 2 years
Adopted
Sophena

Sophena is a wonderful dog who has the looks and the personality to match! She is a friendly and affectionate girl that is very much a love bug who likes to receive all the attention she can get! Sophena is a happy, energetic girl who is rather partial to her food and toys so may be reluctant to share them with little people. She has been around dogs, cats and livestock in her previous home and was good with them. Sophena is a great gal who would make a wonderful addition to any loving household and would be sure to get quite a few admiring glances!

 
Bosco Labrador Retriever / Male / 4 years
Adopted
Bosco

Bosco is a BIG boy with just as big a heart! He is a little on the chubby side at present but is now watching his weight and upping the exercise regime with lots of walks and play time. We suspect he may be aspiring to the doggie equivalent of the Brad Pitt physique – he is a good looking blond after all and there’s nothing wrong with setting your sights high! Bosco lived mainly outdoors in his previous home but would probably enjoy spending time with his people indoors too, although he is a little unsure of hard floors. He is an easy-going and affectionate boy who seems to love everybody he meets. Bosco was good with the dog and cat in his previous home but was not so keen on the wildlife living nearby. Our boy Bosco is a really great lad looking for a fun and loving forever home that can keep him active.

 
Diesel Doberman Pinscher / Male / 1 year
Available
Diesel

Our boy Diesel is a big, strong lad who certainly has the looks too – just like his namesake Vin Diesel! Since arriving at the shelter Diesel has been brushing up on his good manners and is making great progress, which is a good thing that should be continued because he is a big boy with a healthy energy level, so polite behavior is important. Diesel has proven to be a quick learner and a fun dog to work and spend time with. He also has a playful side that is quite sweet and silly to watch. Diesel will do best in an adult home that is familiar with his breed and will have the time to spend keeping both his mind and body well exercised. He is a great boy who in the right home will make a loving and loyal companion. Diesel is listening carefully so he’ll be sure not to miss his new forever family when they walk through the door!

 
Yukon Husky X / Male / 6 months
Available
Yukon

The north may be cold, but not our boy Yukon! With a wagging tail greeting all who meet him, Yukon is one happy go-lucky puppy who would love to be in a forever home. He has been around other dogs and has done quite well. Being a puppy, Yukon would need some basic obedience classes, but once completed, he will be the dog everyone wants. Yukon is a stunning boy who needs to be seen in person to really appreciate the blueness of his eyes.

Buddy German Shepherd X / Male / 1 year
Available
Buddy

Buddy is calm and friendly and a handsome boy too! He was unsure of himself when he first came here but has made great progress with positive leadership. Buddy is very good on leash and attentive to his handler. He is rather partial to his food and toys so would prefer an adult only home. Buddy is a friendly boy and once he is comfortable with you, quite the little love bug! Will our Buddy become your best buddy for life?

 
Salty American Eskimo / Male / 1 year
Available
Salty

A salty dog cocktail will give you temporary happiness whereas our Salty the dog will provide you with years of pleasure! He is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes where he has learned to become a polite young boy. Salty can be a little cautious of new people but has been working on his self-control and responds well to treats and praise. He is a quick learner and loves to practice his commands and please his people. Salty has some of the typical American Eskimo “quirks”, so we are recommending he go to an experienced home with breed knowledge who can continue working on these with him. He is a really playful boy who loves water and has got on well with the dogs he has met so far, but can be a little fickle with our feline friends. Salty is looking for a calm and patient adult only home that will keep this active boy busy with nice long walks and games of fetch!
