From chevy's Foster:
Her favorite things in the world are a warm blanket, a cozy pillow, and a good meal, she’s very food-motivated, which makes earning her trust that much easier. Between long, peaceful naps, Chevy has adorable little bursts of energy that will make you smile.
The world can feel like a big, scary place for Chevy, so she’s looking for a calm, understanding home with someone who will move at her pace and give her the reassurance she needs. In return, she’ll give you quiet companionship and unwavering loyalty.
Chevy is wonderful with other dogs and cats and tends to pick one special friend to become instant BFFs with.

Paw-sitively pug-tastic!
They call me : Oso
Predicted Breed: Pug mix.
Sex: neutered male
Approximate Age: 4 years
Weight: 19 Lbs.
Rescued from: Mexico
Likes: Oso really likes being the center of attention and excessive snuggles. He loves being close to his person, is very treat motivated, loves going outside and for walks and snuggling up next to you at all all times.
Dislikes: He does not like being reached for (makes him scared and cower), doesn't particularly like being picked up or carried, being left alone. Doesn't like loud noises like vacuums and will hide.
Ideal Home: Oso will do well in most homes. He does need exercise and would like a fences yard or an active home. When first left alone, he will voice his protest so a detached home or someone home more than not would be best for Oso.

Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: yes
Medical Needs: none.
Training Needs: Although Oso walks well on the leash, he can become reactive to other dogs. His foster is working with him to correct this behaviour. Continued training may be required. He is treat motivated which makes him easy to train.
House trained, Needs basic training, Crate trained, Shy, Walks on leash
From Oso's Foster:
Meet Oso — the Sweetest Soul You’ll Ever Know
Oso is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog. After fostering more than 100 dogs over 20 years, his foster mom says he is by far the sweetest pup she has ever had the pleasure of caring for — and once you meet him, you’ll understand why.
When Oso walks up to you with his big puppy eyes, gently places his paw on your hand, and rests his head on your shoulder, your heart will absolutely melt. He lives for connection, snuggles, and being included in whatever you’re doing. If you’re there, he wants to be right by your side — not demanding, just quietly hoping to be part of your world.
Oso is eager to please and incredibly affectionate, but also a little sensitive. He can be easily startled and is shy with new people at first. Give him time, patience, and kindness, and he will reward you with one of the deepest, most loyal bonds you will ever experience.
He’s also wonderfully well-mannered:
Kennel trained
Leash trained
House trained
Treat/food motivated but never food-guarding — he’s a generous boy
Oso will thrive in a home that values gentleness, routine, and companionship. Once he feels safe, he becomes the sweetest shadow — ready to snuggle, love, and share every moment with you.
If you’re looking for a tender-hearted companion with unmatched loyalty and love, Oso might just be your perfect match.

Warning: extreme levels of charm ahead
They call me : Willow

Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 5.5 years
Weight: 11 Lbs.
Rescued from: local surrender
Likes: Being outside, going for walks, doing zoomies in backyard, getting her teeth brushed and searching for treats.
Dislikes: She doesn't like getting her hair dried after a bath, but she is getting more tolerant the more baths she has.
Ideal Home: A patient, quiet home would likely be best for her. Since she is such a quiet girl, she would be suitable for attached or detached housing.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Medium

Medical Needs: She needed a little help so we put her on anti-anxiety medication. This has helped her with her training and confidence. It is recommended that she continue this medication longterm.
Training Needs: Willow is a smart girl that already knows several commands and is eager to learn more. She would benefit from more confidence building. Being with another confident dog has helped her however we don't think she needs to be with another dog.
Knows sit, Knows stay, Knows other commands, House trained, Crate trained, Shy, Walks on leash
Because Willow can be nervous at first, we recommend that Willow go to a home with a secure yard or a secure area in a condo space. Applications will only be accepted from adopters who are in Calgary.
From Willow's Foster:
Willow has become my shadow, following me wherever I go, however, she loves the security of her crate and can be found cuddling with her sister most of the day. She never misses an opportunity to play outside or go for walks, despite the cold & she especially loves sniffaris. She is quiet and laid back and the only bark I hear is to say yes when I ask her if she wants to go outside. She knows her good looks don't just happen, but luckily she is very tolerant of me constantly brushing her. She also loves doggy toothpaste cause who wants to have bad breath.

Three legs, endless love.
They call me : Zafiro
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua terrier mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 2 year
Weight: 12 Lbs.
Rescued from: Mexico
Likes: She likes being with her person/people, playing with toys (especially playing fetch), treats, food, love and attention (pets, kisses, cuddles)
Dislikes: She does not like her crate or being left alone
Ideal Home: Zafiro would like a home that her people are home more. She will cry and bark when left therefore a detached home is required. She will fit in well with most homes. She still has a lot of puppy energy and a confident dog may help her learn. Although another dog in the home is not a requirement.
Detached home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: high
Experience with Kids: unknown
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: Zafiro is a tripod! She is very acclimated to only having 3 legs but she is still very puppy like and can be quite clumsy sometimes.
Training Needs: Zafiro is such a smart dog. She already knows “sit” and “lie down”. She is doing great with learning to go to the bathroom outside. We let her out every 2 hours to help avoid any accidents. She definitely does not like to be left alone and lets us know this. She has gone on a very brief walk, definitely nervous and uncertain about the new environment but walked pretty well on the leash and will probably do great with this as she gains confidence. She loves to play with the other dogs in the home, and also loves to play independently/with her people. She loves meal times. She loves to sleep next to/on her person.
Knows sit, Knows other commands, Needs basic training, Barks indoors, Walks on leash
From Zafiro's Foster:
Zafiro is the sweetest, most loving and playful pup. Having one less leg has not slowed her down. She is extremely friendly with people and wants to be with her person at all times. She loves to give kisses, and she is ready to play with anyone or any dog at anytime. She is such an amazing dog, so smart, and so ready to love and be loved by her forever family.

All the sweetness without the calories
They call me : Zoey
Predicted Breed: Chinese Crested mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 5.5 year
Weight: 12 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Likes being around people and other dogs. Loves food, sleeping on the couch and playing with her other dogs
Dislikes: Zoey is little so gets scared around quick movements or loud noises. She doesn’t seem to be a huge fan of leash walks
Ideal Home: She will need a patient home that can help her understand life doesn't need to be scary. She would prefer a home where her people are home more. Being a quiet girl, she would be suitable for attached or detached housing.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: low
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: Zoey has had a difficult time prior to coming to the rescue. She has burn marks on her back that are mostly healed but are still a bit itchy. There appears to be no long term physical effects related to this.
Training Needs: Zoey has not yet grasped the concept of walking on a leash. She will sniff in one general area but not go for a walk! With continued reassurance and confidence building she will likely learn to enjoy it.
House trained, Needs basic training, Shy
From Zoey's Foster:
Zoey is a small, gentle soul who has truly mastered the art of cozy living. If there were an Olympic event for lounging, napping, or curling into the perfect blanket nest, Zoey would take home the gold every time. She’s happiest tucked into a plush bed, soaking up a sunbeam, or snuggled beside her favorite humans.
This sweet girl has an affectionate personality and an endearing little face that seems to express a thousand emotions at once—curious, thoughtful, and just a tiny bit opinionated in the most charming way. Zoey enjoys being near her people, quietly keeping them company, and will gladly accept cuddles on her own gentle terms.
Zoey has a healthy appetite and loves her food—mealtime is one of her favorite parts of the day. She’s food-motivated, easy to feed, and happily cleans her bowl, making her a joy to care for.
