Akoya is a beautiful adult dove who was found outside after crashing into a window. Luckily, Akoya recovered well with no ill effects, and her clipped tail feathers have even grown back in! Although we don't know Akoya's history, she has shown interest in human companionship and is easy to handle. Her foster parent notes that she is a vocal girl with a variety of coos and calls. She enjoys preening, playing with her toys and checking her reflection out in the mirror. Akoya might enjoy a dove friend, or a loving human companion. Although doves are generally easier to care for than parrots, Akoya's new humans should make sure they have done their research on diet, housing and enrichment to ensure she is happy and healthy for life!

From our earliest beginning, Calgary Humane Society was more than a shelter. As Calgary’s first-established animal welfare organization, connecting the lives of animals and people while providing essential animal services to the community remains our central priority.
Today, Calgary Humane Society (CHS) shelters almost 5,000 homeless animals each year. In 1922 we set out to help as many animals as we can and we will continue to do so by fostering the values of respect, compassion, commitment, teamwork, integrity and innovation.
Our mission is to help as many animals as we can.
Our vision is using innovative strategies to lead, inspire, and educate in the humane treatment of companion animals, fostering an enlightened community that consistently demonstrates respect and compassion for all animals.
Our dream is a community where animals are valued, humanely treated, and live enriched lives.
Calgary Humane Society is committed to creating a better tomorrow through education and collaboration.
