Our love is a breeze
They call me : Breeze

Predicted Breed: Cocker Spaniel mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 9 year

Weight: 25 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender

Likes: She loves eating and attention from her human. She lives for the ear scratch or pat on the head or a cuddle. She’s a hunting dog by breed so she loves to sniff and follow a trail. She would love to chase a squirrel.
Dislikes: Loud noises
Ideal Home: Breeze would do best in a quiet home. She would be happy to have another dog or cat in the home as a companion but would be equally happy getting all the attention from her people.

Attached home, Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Medium
Experience with Kids:
Recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: Potential allergies.
Training Needs: Although loud sounds while on a walk detract from her enjoyment, she really loves following a good scent outside. Her adopter will need to continue to help Breeze build her confidence.

House trained, Crate trained, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash

From breeze's Foster: 

If you’re looking for a family member with the soul of a little angel, you need to look no further. Breeze is such a sweetheart and asks nothing of you except for food and a little attention. She doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body, so would be fine with people or other pets. She’s still very timid, so will take some time to get to know you but once she does, she will completely adore you. She makes no noise at all, except a little snoring, so would be perfect for an apartment or a condo. She’s house trained but isn’t much of a walker because there’s so many scary things out there, however, she’ll do her business and then want to come home. Continued walking, though, would help her overcome her fears. She would be a really great friend and loyal companion. I’ve loved having her.

Lucky me!
They call me : Clover

Predicted Breed: Cocker Spaniel mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 7 year

Weight: 20 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender

Likes: Morning wake ups, meal time, treats, pets, napping on the couch, her doggie friends, slow paced strolls through the neighbourhood
Dislikes: Fast movements and meeting new people at first, almost everyone is scary until she gets to know them! Car rides and baths stress her out but she manages both like a champ.
Ideal Home: Sweet Clover will be the perfect companion for a quiet home. She loves having doggie friends and having another dog in the home would be a bonus.

Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: Unknown
Experience with cats: Unknown
Medical Needs: Potential allergies. We are testing her with different foods to find out. Partially Blind.
Training Needs: She is eager to please and would benefit from basic training at home. She is doing well with her house training but is not 100% yet.

Needs basic training, Crate trained, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash

From Clover's Foster: 

Clover is an absolute sweetheart. She requires some time and patience to build a relationship with people, but once she does she only ever wants to be near you, snuggling on the couch for some pets or a nice long nap, or following you around the house like a little shadow. She is a quiet and happy girl, and seeing her cutest tails wags and excited runs and stretches will put the biggest smile on your face. She is learning what it means to be a dog and loving it. Watching her learn to trust and love people and to enjoy everyday life is the most rewarding thing. She brings joy and laughter to our house every day, and we can’t wait for her to do the same in her furever home!

Everything IS AWESOME when you're part of a team!

House trained, Needs basic training, Walks on leash

From Lego's Foster: 

Lego is as cute as a button and has a heart full of love. This sweet boy is quiet, affectionate, and happiest when he's spending time with his people. He absolutely loves cuddles and will often gently place his paw on you when he's looking for a little extra attention, one of his many adorable quirks!
Lego enjoys going for walks, loves treats, and is a pretty chill guy overall. He's content to relax by your side but also has a silly personality that shines through and keeps life entertaining. One of his funniest habits is when he decides he doesn't want to go outside, if you try to pick him up, he'll roll onto his back and make himself as comfy as possible, showing off his stubborn (and hilarious) side.
Lego is looking for a family who will appreciate his sweet nature, lovable personality, and desire to be close to his people. If you're searching for a loyal companion who loves affection and will happily be your cuddle buddy, Lego may be the perfect fit for you.

The goal isn't to live on forever; it's to make something that does

Pee pad trained, Needs basic training, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash

From Monty's Foster: 

Meet Monty!

Monty is an instant heart-stealer, sweet, affectionate, and utterly devoted to his people. He follows his favorite humans everywhere and loves nothing more than being picked up and carried, which is exactly why we call him our little teddy bear dog. Monty does have some mobility/strength challenges in his hind end, so he's not one for rough play, but that hasn't slowed down his love of a good walk. He keeps a great pace for his age! He gets along well with other dogs and is generally a pretty chill guy, happy to spend his day curled up in a cozy blanket fort. He's fully house trained, enjoys time in the yard, and loves sleeping right beside his person at night. Monty also has some vision trouble in his left eye, but it doesn't stop him from getting around and enjoying life.

A few fun quirks: he has very selective hearing, except when the word "treat" comes up. That one he never misses. He's great with kids and loves to snuggle and be close, though we recommend supervision so little ones don't try to carry him, given his physical needs. Monty is looking for a patient, loving home where he can be close to his person, get gentle exercise, and spend his days being the cuddly little shadow he was born to be. Give him a little time, and he will steal your heart.

Our love is as big as the Skye
They call me : Skye

Predicted Breed: Cocker Spaniel mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 10 year

Weight: 15 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender

Likes: Skye loves her people, food, sleeping on her cozy bed and walks.
Dislikes: She dislikes baths and car rides
Ideal Home: This sweet girl is looking for a quiet home where she will get lots of love.

Attached home, Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Low, Medium, High
Experience with Kids: Recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: Blind in one eye
Training Needs: She is already house trained.

House trained, Walks on leash

From Skye's Foster: 

Skye will steal your heart. She loves her people and is content sleeping on a nearby dog bed. She is very loyal and will sleep by the door when left alone. She gets so excited when I come back and for walks around the block. Her tail never stops wagging! She is very low energy and spends most of her time sleeping on her dog bed. She is great with all people and animals. I wouldn’t recommend toddlers who sometimes startle her when laying with toys. Skye is blind in one eye but has gained a lot of confidence in the time I’ve had her. She can do small sets of stairs like onto a deck or up your doorstep but needs help to go a whole flight. She currently sleeps quietly on a dog bed in my room. She is fully housetrained and doesn’t have accidents as long as you make sure she pees before bed. Skye is truly a delight and everyone who meets her falls in love!

They call me : Snoopy

Predicted Breed: Boxer mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 7 year

Weight: 42 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender

Likes: Stealing clean laundry or my gardening gloves. Going for walks. Being brushed.
Dislikes: she has a fear of meeting new people. It takes patience to help her overcome this.
Ideal Home: Snoopy would prefer a quiet home that will help her grow her confidence. She prefers her humans to be home more but may be ok to leave longer if she has another dog as a companion. She has lived with several other dogs of various sizes and is currently being fostered with cats.

Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Senior home, Quiet home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: Unknown
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: May have an allergy to grains
Training Needs: She knows some commands and is house trained.

Knows sit, Knows stay, House trained, Crate trained, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash

From Snoopy's Foster: 

When Snoopy first arrived, she was hesitant to leave the house let alone the yard. Through baby steps, she has gained significant confidence; she now explores the sidewalks and pathways. When she hears “Go Walkies” she rushes to the door to get her harness and leash on so she is the first out the door.

Snoopy is a loyal & loving companion who enjoys being near me, whether watching me work in the garden from her favourite hidey-hole or sleeping at my feet indoors. While she remains cautious in entirely new situations, she has become much more comfortable with her daily routine. She would benefit from a training class specifically for fearful dogs, but I believe as she gets to know you she will continue to gain confidence & just be a dog.

As a senior gal, Snoopy is a bit creaky & stiff, but she remains happy to go for walks, as "motion is lotion". She walks well on a loose leash in a heel position in a pack of four dogs.

She is now looking for a retirement home where she can be spoiled with love, treats, pets, and plenty of outdoor time. If you know you can provide this for this lovely senior lady, please let us know.

Due to her insecurities, we will only be accepting applications from adopters who are in Calgary and have a securely fenced yard.

This dog needs another confident dog in the home.

From Tinsley's Foster: 

Tinsley is a sweet, small toy poodle mix who may be a little fearful of people at first, but she has a playful heart waiting to shine. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs and would thrive with a patient, gentle family who can help her build confidence at her own pace. With time, trust, and plenty of love, Tinsley has the potential to become a wonderful little companion.
