From Beau's Foster:
Beau is a very easy going little guy. He enjoys snuggles and being petted. Beau can go on a walk if you'd like but he's just as happy to do his business and chill with you on the couch. He is very submissive and is great with other dogs-he will even eat out of the same bowl as other animals and politely waits for them to finish. He is very quiet and therefore would be great in an attached home or a home with a yard. He seems to be great with kids but would be best with kids who understand that he's quite teeny tiny.

Pup-a-razzi.
They call me : Bernie
Predicted Breed: Chinese Crested mix.
Sex: Neutered Male
Approximate Age: 5 year
Weight: 12 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local Surrender
Likes: Kongs, shredding paper. Literally any type of food. Bernie is highly food driven and does attempt to jump on the table, or kitchen counter for food. Is starting to enjoy chewing on dog treats (bully stick type treats). He's learning to play with tennis balls, but doesn't know fetch yet.
Dislikes: Sudden movements and noises can startle him.
Ideal Home: Bernie would do best in an active home. He is very food motivated. If there are other dogs in the home, his adopter would need to watch he doesn't steal food from the other dog. He does enjoy having a canine companion to play with and would prefer a home where he will have a friend or two in the home.
Bernie does not do well in the car. He will get sick even if in a crate in the car.
Attached home, Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Medium
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: He is an active dog that would benefit from basic training. He loves running and jumping and may enjoy agility classes. He knows his name but is still working on his recall. House training is going well as long as the weather is good.
House trained, Needs basic training, Chews
Since these dogs are just learning to be leash trained, we will only be accepting applications from potential adopters with a secure yard 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 Bernie's Foster:
Bernie is a lovely little dog! Active, happy, bright, and perky; a real love-bug. He's yet to meet someone he doesn't like, and is gaining confidence daily. He plays with my dogs for most of the day and then snuggles on the couch or on my footstool in the evening to watch TV.
He absolutely is a velcro puppy and will shadow his human around. He really just wants to be loved, and would be a fantastic little guy for almost anyone.
Since he's very food driven, he can be very trainable. Honestly, agility as a hobby would be fantastic for him, or just walks through the park and runs in the dog park. He's very sweet and charming with his old man eyebrows!

They call me : Canela (Canelita)
Predicted Breed: Terrier mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 3 year
Weight: 30 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: She loves to eat, play and walk. She’s also a cuddler and thinks she’s a lapdog but is too big for that. She loves to sit in the sun. Tummy rubs.
Dislikes: Nothing noted
Ideal Home: Canelita needs to be given a little time when meeting new people as she is shy. Given a chance, she does warm up quickly. She loves to run and would really enjoy having an enclosed backyard to work off her zoomies. She is a mild mannered dog that would fit in well to most homes but loves mature women.
Attached home, Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Medium
Experience with Kids: recommend only children over 12 years
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: When out for a walk, her adopter will need to be mindful that Canelita will eat anything off the ground and will try to run after small prey such as squirrels and rabbits. With basic training, she would become redirected easier.
House trained, Needs basic training, Crate trained, Shy, Walks on leash
From Canelita's Foster:
Canelita (spanish for little cinnamon) is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. She would be great in any household. Loves her walks, cuddles, treats and LOVES to eat. She sleeps in her crate for over eight hours and doesn’t fuss. This sweetie is SUPER smart and a very quick learner - most times I only have to tell her something once. She’s great company - its been a joy fostering her.
Loyal forever
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.
Detached home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Experience with Kids: unknown
Experience with cats: unknown
Energy Level: Low-medium
Medical: None
Training Notes: He would benefit from basic training however we recommend giving him some time to build his confidence or completing the training at home. He has some separation anxiety and will bark when left alone. Most of the time he is a quiet little boy.

Since these dogs are just learning to be leash trained, we will only be accepting applications from potential adopters with a secure yard 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.

Likes: Playing with another dog, chewing on toys/sticks, licking humans or other dogs, Belly rubs and shoulder scratches.

Ideal Home: Lulu would prefer a home that doesn't have a lot of strangers coming by as she can be nervous around new people. Although she may not make the best first impression, once Lulu has a chance to get to know you, she is very affectionate. She would prefer her humans are home with her more than not. We feel she would get used to kids that around all the time however would be very scared if they brought their friends over.

Energy Level: medium
Experience with Kids: Unknown
Experience with cats: saw a cat on her walk and was scared of it

From Lulu's Foster:
Lulu is a sweet little girl, that wants to be near you all the time and eager to please once she gets to know you and feels safe. She likes to run after the rubber ball and play with stuffed toys, but does not touch/chew any human items. She has bursts of energy during the day, but in between likes to nap and cuddle on the couch.

Im so fur-tuate to have you in my life
They call me : Luna
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua mix.
Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 3 year
Weight: 8 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: Playing with toys, going for short and long walks and car rides, belly rubs and pets, cuddling, food.
Dislikes: Is a bit uncertain of new people in the beginning
Ideal Home: She would do well in most homes but would prefer her people home more than away. She is a quiet girl and would be fine in attached or detached housing.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 5+ hrs
Energy Level: medium
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: Luna can be mouthy when she is excited or has a lot of energy. With re-direction, she is learning to stop this. She would benefit from basic training.
Knows sit, House trained, Shy, Walks on leash
From Luna's Foster:
Hi, I’m Luna - I might take a little time to warm up, but once I do, I’ll be your shadow—always nearby, ready for snuggles and companionship. I’m an affectionate, playful girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for toys. Whether I’m zooming around the yard or curled up beside you, I’m happiest just being near my people.
I’m house-trained and working hard on my manners. Sometimes I get a little overstimulated during play and might do some light mouthing, but I respond really well to redirection and structure—especially if there are treats involved (I’m very food motivated!).
Once I’ve settled in, you’ll see that I’m a top-tier cuddlebug who LOVES belly rubs, head scratches, and relaxing after a fun day of play and exploration. New situations can make me a little unsure at first, especially around new dogs, but with slow introductions (and a few tasty treats), I warm up just fine. I like to take my time—it’s just how I roll!
I live with a cat and we’ve become total besties. I’d do well with respectful kiddos and dog friends who understand I need a bit of space at first to feel comfortable.
I’m quiet, well-behaved, and pretty low-maintenance. I enjoy walks, car rides, and any adventure you’re up for. My ideal home would have a fenced yard where I can soak up some sunshine and get my zoomies out
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion who’ll stick by your side (and possibly sneak off with a slipper or two), I might just be your girl.

Pugs: Proof that wrinkles can indeed be adorable.
They call me : Maggie
Predicted Breed: Pug mix.
Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 4 year
Weight: 13 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: She loves to cuddle and play. She’s high energy but also settles down when appropriate. She loves her toys and always brings them out and spreads them around the house.
Dislikes: She does not like if my dog dominates her. She like to be the boss but gives up pretty quick if the other dog isn’t having it. I think she’d have issues with a dog that’s similar but a more chill dog mate would be a great match for her.
Ideal Home: Maggie is food reactive and needs to be fed separately from any other dogs in the house. She is a bundle of energy that requires an active home. She is dog selective and an introduction would be needed if there will be other dogs in the home to see if she would fit in.
Attached home, Detached home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: medium
Experience with Kids: No kids recommended
Experience with cats: Unknown
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: Maggie does know some commands and would likely benefit from basic training.
Knows sit, Knows other commands, House trained
From Maggie's Foster:
Maggie is a fun loving sweet dog. She adores cuddles and her toys. She’s very playful but also can be a companion for some couch time. She loves to run around the backyard and laying in the sun.
A round of a-paws for my cuteness, please
They call me : Meadow
Predicted Breed: Chinese Crested mix.
Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 4.5 year
Weight: 15 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Meadow loves to lay in the sun and be near you
Dislikes: She does not enjoy going outside when it is cold. She also dislikes other dogs near her food. (she will give a little warning growl)
Ideal Home: Meadow would be a great fit for most home situations. She loves being with you but is fine to be left alone while you are at work. She is timid and would be fine around children. She pays no attention to my cat.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: Yes
Energy Level: Low
Medical: None
Training Notes: Meadow is still learning how to be a dog in a home. She will walk on a leash but she follows behind you. She is working on potty training but adopters will need to continue working on this. She is shy and will benefit from confidence training.
Needs basic training, Shy, Walks on leash
Since these dogs are just learning to be leash trained, we will only be accepting applications from potential adopters with a secure yard 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 Meadow's Foster:
Sweet sweet Meadow. This adorable pup is just looking for a family that will love her and cuddle with her. She hasn't really learned to play yet but is happy to join you on walks as long as you let her trail behind you. She loves to sunbath and would spend hours outside in the sun if you let her. She is goofy once she gets to know you and will gladly accept any pets you have to offer. This sweet girl will be a fit for any type of home as she is quiet, shy and loyal and will make a family very lucky to have her. I think once she builds up her confidence she is going to be so fun to have around!
what's up, dawg
They call me : Pedro
Predicted Breed: Pug mix
Sex: Neutered male.
Approximate Age: 4 year
Weight: 22 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: Toys, butt rubs, cuddling between your legs, walks, rough play, food
Dislikes: nothing noted
Ideal Home: He would be suitable for most homes. We would recommend a home without small children as he can be mouthy when he plays. He does bark inside therefore we recommend detached housing only.
Detached home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Medium.
Experience with Kids: recommend children over 12 yrs only
Experience with cats: Unknown.
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: He is a smart boy who has learned some commands while in foster care however he would benefit from basic training.
Pedro needs to learn how to properly greet other dogs. He gets over excited and can come across as pushy however he gets along great with his foster dog friend. We feel with proper introductions he will be fine with other dogs and with training he will learn better introduction behaviours.
Knows sit, Knows stay, Knows other commands, House trained, Crate trained, Barks indoors, Barks outdoors, Nippy, Walks on leash
From Pedro's Foster:
Pedro has puppy like energy and is always ready to play with a toy. If you don’t seem to like the one he gives you, he will try a different one. He understands when you tell him to get a toy as he is a smart boy. Or maybe you just want snuggles? He will make sure that you get in a position that is most comfortable for him, usually between your legs or draped right across your belly.
He has figured out the family’s habits and knows when it’s time to head to his crate for bed although I’m sure he would be happy to sleep with his people too. He will give the biggest stretches when he likes your pets.
He needs to be in a home that gives him moderate exercise, play time, and plenty of cuddles.
Will work for treats
They call me : Pretzel
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua mix
Sex: Neutered male.
Approximate Age: 6 year
Weight: 7 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: Pretzel loves to be close to his humans, he loves head rubs and sleeping next to me as much as possible. He snuggles up in his dog bed and sleeps most of the day away and seems perfectly content. He's very food motivated (he'll try and climb up on you when eating next to him but his behavior is easy to correct with a few tries) and loves meeting new people. He also does really well in the car and really enjoys going for walks and being outside.
Dislikes: Pretzel does not like his crate and it's a challenge to get him to go in and stay in without him barking and whimpering to get out. He seems to respond well to soothing music to help him relax but would rather be free to roam the home. Pretzel does not like other dogs and would not be suitable for a home with another dog.
Ideal Home: Pretzel would do best as the only dog in the home. He is easy going and really just wants to be loved by all humans.
Attached home, Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: unknown
Experience with cats: Unknown.
Medical Needs: Pretzel is on puppy food to help him gain weight. No medical issues.
Training Needs: He would benefit from basic training. Pretzel may not know English as he does not respond to basic commands (I have tried Spanish terms but that does not seem to work well either) but responds immediately when I snap my fingers. He's super docile and easy to care for and for the most part uses the pee pads (although gets really excited when I come home and pees on the front tile often). He is still getting used to the feel of grass on his feet. Also, Pretzel is curious about toys but so far has not shown any real interest or understanding of how to play with toys. Lastly, because he eats quite quickly I have found that using a slow feeder bowl works quite well to slow him down.
Pee pad trained, Needs basic training, Barks indoors, Barks outdoors, Walks on leash, Excitement Reactivity
From Pretzel's Foster:
Pretzel is the sweetest, most loving and gentle boy who just wants to be snuggled up next to his human(s). He loves a good head and belly rub and simply melts with physical touch. He loves to meet new people, is very food motivated, does great in car rides and walks and really seems to enjoy exploring new spaces outside. He would be such a great addition to any home that wants a gentle love bug to spoil.
Poodle-iciously adorable!
They call me : Santos

Likes: He loves people and being near them. Loves the kids,cuddles, belly rubs. Playing fetch and running in the yard. Walks and sleeping in the sun.
Dislikes: Difficulties with dogs he doesn't know.
Ideal Home: Santos would do well in most homes. He is around kids currently. Barks occasionally indoors but not often. We have him just in the main floor when at work as he does jump on the couch upstairs and look out the window and bark. Just to deter him from barking while we are out. He would be ok in an apartment if he had ample exercise.
Attached home, Detached home, Family with kids home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Medium
Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: Unknown.
Medical Needs: None
Training Needs: He still needs basic training but has quickly learned sit, come, drop it, ok. He will occasionally steal one of the kids stuffed animals to chew but easily “drops it” and takes his toys.
Does occasionally bark outdoors but not excessive, has been barking much less as getting comfortable and we are actively monitoring and training not to. When out for a walk, Santos can be reactive toward other dogs. He has been doing well walking on a leash. Training will help with this.
He is very smart, food and praise motivated.
Knows sit, Knows other commands, House trained, Needs basic training, Crate trained, Barks outdoors, Prey drive, Chews
From Santos's Foster:
Santos is the most loving and gentile dog. He loves to cuddle and be around his people. He is excellent with kids and loves to play fetch and chase balls.

He would be a wonderful addition to any home.

Ideal Home: Tobias prefers a quiet home with active humans where he has a chance to get to know his people. He can be shy during initial meetings but will slowly make his way over to check them out if given a chance. He loves dogs and loves to play! He would be ok as an only dog though too!

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.
