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???

Likes: He likes relaxing at home and cuddling. He loooves food and treats a lot
Dislikes: He doesn’t like long walks or lots of activity
Ideal Home: Arnoldo is a quiet pup that is needing to work on his confidence. He needs another confident friendly dog in the home to help him with this. He can go to an attached home.

Arnoldo really needs some confidence building and once he is more confident you may start to see a playful active side to him.

From Arnoldo's Foster:
Arnoldo is a very sweet boy. He is very quiet and loves to relax at home and be close to his person! He will take some time to warm up but once he does he will always want to be beside you.

Dislikes: Nervous around new people
Ideal Home: The ideal home for Cosmo would be a home with a female presence, he would do best in a home with older children or no children as he is still a bit nervous and would ideally like a quieter home environment. Because he can initially be nervous we do require him to go to an attached or detached home as long as they have a secure yard (no chain link fences). Cosmo would require a home with another dog as this helps him with his confidence building and he really enjoys their company.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Due to his insecurities, we will only accept adoption applications from those with a securely fenced yard and within Calgary who have a confident dog in the home to help Cosmos.

Experience with cats: Yes

Training Needs: Cosmo loves walks on leash and despite his fear is usually able to work through it and continue. He does sometimes get excited when he sees another dog and doesn't know yet how to manage his energy, adopters will need to continue to work on building up his confidence on walks and around new dogs. Cosmo needs a home where someone likes training because he LOVES doing tricks and learning.
Cosmo needs slow introductions to new people and especially men. He is still learning through positive interactions to trust them but this will take time and adopters will need to continue to work on this with him.
Knows sit, Knows stay, Knows other commands, House trained, Crate trained, Prey drive, Walks on leash, Excitement Reactivity
From Cosmos's Foster:
Cosmo is a wonderful dog who has really come out of his shell. He was not properly socialized as a pup but this hasn’t stopped him. He is super curious and extremely smart. He loves to play with toys and throw them up in the air in the backyard. He loves fresh snow and is the bounciest boy you will ever see. Cosmo loves to wrestle with the resident dogs and looks to them for assurance. He is fully crate trained and potty trained. He knows tons of tricks including hi-five, spin, heel, weaving through our legs and more. An ideal home will enjoy training and be willing to continue making activities to increase his confidence. He will do most agility obstacles now which has helped with his confidence.

Likes: Frankie loves to sun bath, play with toys (especially cat toys), going on walks, cuddling on the heated blanket
Dislikes: Cold Weather
Ideal Home: Frankie's ideal home would be a family with older children or no children as he loves to jump right now so a home with small children would not be ideal. He can be left at home while you are at work but does bark indoors so a detached home would be best. He is great with the resident cat but would not do well in a home with smaller animals as he does have a prey drive.

From Lulu's Foster:
Lulu’s greatest desire is for someone to love her and cuddle her and give her food. She would love to have someone that is home more than away.

He loves to be hugged and pet. Toby has a great appetite and appreciates a variety of kibble and treats. Toby loves to ride in the car.
Dislikes: He is very protective of "his" property. "His" property includes the public sidewalk and alley that surrounds "his" house. Barks loudly and constantly at anyone or anything who trespasses on "his" property. He is not a fan of being left alone.

He loves playing with other dogs and would enjoy having another dog in the home or neighborhood that he can play with. . Toby can be annoying to other dogs in the household if they don't want to play or had enough play since he does not take "no" for an answer. He will initiate play in multiple ways including pouncing on the other dogs and play biting their heads. He is gentle in his play with the smaller dogs, just constantly harasses them if they don't want to play. He would be a great companion for someone who loves to go hiking and who enjoys being outdoors and active.

Toby loves to start his day with hugs and pets. He absolutely loves being outdoors! His favorites are to run in the off-leash park, play with other dogs and be in the company of people. Toby likes to bark, play with toys, whip towels and blankets around in play and carry items out of the house into the yard (hide your dirty laundry basket!) in hopes of being chased. Toby has a great appetite and appreciates a variety of kibble and treats. At the end of the day he is like a soft, fluffy, huggable teddy bear who will lay beside your feet. He is fun! He is adorable! He is affectionate! He is a puppy!
Toby is just over a year old. He is house trained, crate trained and is good about staying off the furniture. In fact, he easily goes into his crate upon command and quickly settles down in his personal space. He absolutely enjoys riding in vehicles. He learns quickly form humans as well as other dogs.

Training Needs: Willow is a very nervous dog, and she may not initially be receptive to touching from her family, but with time and patience, this is expected to change. Currently pee pad trained, she enjoys brain games and is open to learning. While she may not know how to walk on a leash, her forever family can work on this aspect with her. Being young, settling into her new home will be a series of firsts, and it will be a joy to witness her overcoming fears. Willow requires basic training, and her shy and fearful nature can be addressed with a nurturing and understanding approach. Chewing is one of her activities.

From Willow's Foster:
Willow is a sweet and gentle pup that hasn't been around too many people so she tends to follow the confident dog in the family home for guidance. She is curious and in time is going to be the most loyal loving companion to anyone who is patient enough to let this flower bloom. She is so sweet and she can't wait to find her forever family
