I like big mutts and I cannot lie
They call me : Solar
Predicted Breed: Shepherd/husky mix.
Sex: neutered male
Approximate Age: 12 months
Weight: 35 Lbs.
Rescued from: local surrender
Likes: Solar loves everything but can be a bit impatient if you make his food too slowly. He loves to be outside on his own or with you in the home. He loves playing with other dogs and is up for just about any adventure you want to take him on.
Dislikes: Being alone.
Ideal Home: Solar is a high energy pup so an active family would be best for him. He does great with kids and other dogs. He would do best in a home with a yard for him to run around and play in.
Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: High
Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: Solar is a parvo survivor and because of this he does require a specific food (Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach). Solar has been going to physio and they are treating him for mild hip disfunction which is common in younger dogs. We have seen great improvements with him attending physio and would ensure adopters are able to attend a physio session with Solar so they can understand the exercises that are helpful to keeping him happy and healthy
Training Needs: Solar is such a good pup and is eager and ready to learn new things every day. Solar is lacking in confidence when meeting new dogs and will bark when he sees them however if you practice a slow and proper introduction with him he becomes playful and submissive. The more you work on introducing him to new dogs the more confident he will become and likely this behavior will start to subside. Solar is house trained having very little to no accidents in the home.

From solar's Foster:
My name is Solar, I have been in the rescue since I was 5 weeks old and have been very patiently waiting for my forever home now for nearly a year. I know there is a family out there that wants to adopt me.... .right?
I am a happy dog with so much love to give. I really enjoy playing with my foster siblings and new dogs when I meet them. I looooooovve food so I am easy to train! I do get a bit nervous on walks when I see another dog but I am told if I am a good boy and practice meeting new dogs properly I will get better at this. My foster family is amazing but I would really love to be in my forever home and starting my new life with them. Are you my forever family???

They call me : Freckles
Predicted Breed: Chinese crested mix.
Sex: neutered male
Approximate Age: 2 year
Weight: 14 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: He enjoys chewing on his bully sticks, playing with his food. He loves playing with toys and de-stuffing them in the process. He has a lot of fun playing with the other dogs, whether it be play fighting or tug of war with a toy. When he warms up to a person, he absolutely loves gentle pets, scratches, and grooming with a brush.
Dislikes: At this point he doesn't quite like it when people try to confront him directly. He doesn't like car rides, considering he has thrown up or peed during every trip.
Ideal Home: Freckles will need a patient home that can help him learn to become a confident dog. He is nervous around new people and would prefer a less active home. Due to his insecurities, having a confident dog in the home will really help him come out of his shell.

Experience with Kids: unknown
Experience with cats: unknown
Energy Level: Low-medium
Medical: None

Since these dogs are just learning to be leash trained, we will only be accepting applications from potential adopters with a secure yard or a secure area that the dogs are able to go for bathroom breaks. We will only consider potential adopters in or near Calgary and do not recommend small children in the home.
From Freckles's Foster:
Freckles is a dog that is slowing coming out of his shell. He loves to play with his foster siblings, chew treat sticks, and play with his food. He absolutely loves finding a good toy, playing tug-of-war with it, and eventually tearing out its insides. He has silly bursts of energy but is happy to zonk out on the couch for a few hours.
He's not fat, he's husky
They call me : Fritz

Sex: neutered male
Approximate Age: 4 year
Weight: 55 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Fritz loved attention from people. He loves to sit on peoples’ feet and lean against them while they pet him… even strangers! He adores attention! Fritz also loves food, being chased by other dogs and having touts thrown for him in the back yard. He loves running free at the off leash park or in the forest. He has incredible recall and will zoom right back once called go get a treat.
Dislikes: He does not like sharing attention. He wants to be the one to get all the love!
Ideal Home: Fritz would do best in a home with older kids. He does have some resource guarding around food that adopters will need to take proper precautions to manage if there are other dogs in the home.
Detached home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: unknown
Energy Level: medium

Training Notes: He is a smart dog that does know how to ask to be let out. Fritz doesn’t bark very much indoors-only when he wants to be let outside. Once he is outside he only barks to come back inside. He likes to howl at fire trucks/ambulances and ice cream trucks. With this in mind we wouldnt recommend attached housing.

From Fritz's Foster:
Fritz is the most affectionate dog we have ever met! He adores being treated like a cuddly little baby! He loves to give kisses and roll onto his back for belly scratches. He is extremely friendly and very smart! He would love to be challenged with learning new tricks or even agility. He responds very well to treats and would be a very fast learner for new tricks! He loves to run and play outdoors and has fabulous recall. He is a lovely boy!

Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 4 year
Weight: 15 Lbs.
Rescued from: California
Likes: Sassy is a sweet little girl that loves treats and food. She is starting to enjoy playing with the resident dog. Her most favourite thing is burrowing under blankets.
Dislikes: she is scared of new situations/new people.
Ideal Home: Sassy would do best in a quiet home that can give her patience to come out of her shell. She does enjoy having a confident dog around to follow and learn from however this would not be a requirement of the adoption.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Experience with Kids: recommend only children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: unknown
Energy Level: Low
Medical: None
Training Notes: Sassy could use leash training / basic training. She is fluffy and it hides her extra girth. She could use some exercise to help her lose some weight. Currently she prefers to be carried when outside of the house/yard. She is mostly pee pad trained but likes to choose where the pad should be. If taken outside every few hours, she will ensure her business is done outside. She is crate trained and sleeps in her kennel every night (and sometimes during the day).
Pee pad trained, House trained, Needs basic training, Crate trained, Shy, Needs confidence building
From Sassy's Foster:
Sassy is an easy dog to have around. She is low energy but is playing with the resident dog now that she is comfortable with her. She loves to burrow under blankets and sleeps for hours. Sassy is mostly pee pad trained but will miss if she feels the pad is not in the best location. Moving the pad solves this. She is becoming more cuddly as she gets more confident with her surroundings and is chattering at us more now that she knows she is loved. This beautiful cutie will be a great addition to most homes.

Pee pad trained, Needs basic training, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash
From Yolanda's Foster:
She is a LOVE BUG!!! All she wants to do is sit with you and love you. She is so cute too. Because she is shy it is so rewarding when you see her come out of her shell. She wags he little tail and smiles every morning. She always is offering her belly for pets once she is comfortable. She is SO SO easy!!! I have never had a foster dog this easy!! No barking, no chewing, no marking, my kids joke that she is basically a stuffed animal!!! She must have been a mother in a past life because whenever there is a kid near her that she feels safe with she is always trying to lick them clean. Also she is sure to do her walk around after they are done eating to make sure she has cleaned up after them under the table. She would be an amazing family pet for anyone who can take the time to make her feel safe and loved.
