Meet this sweet 2-year-old female Shepherd-Collie mix! She’s gentle, and responds well to verbal cues like “sit,” taking treats politely. This shy girl thrives in a calm, quiet environment and needs an adult-only home (16+). She’ll do best with an active, structured lifestyle and a patient owner who can provide daily leash walks, a securely fenced backyard, and ongoing bonding time. She is not suited for off-leash parks until she has bonded with her new family and they have observed multiple one on one dog interactions with her. In the shelter environment she has shown that she is either slow to warm up to interact or not wanting to interact or play with other dogs so she may prefer being the only dog in the home or a calm quiet appropriate dog maybe a good match for her. Her new family should be prepared for regular grooming and committed to attending a basic manners class or private behavior training. If you’re ready to offer a loving, structured home and help her build confidence, she could be the perfect companion for you!

The City of Calgary is once again adopting cats and dogs at the Animal Services Centre in addition to transferring adoptable pets to our partner agencies, to help animals find their furever homes faster.
Shelters and rescue agencies are currently at capacity with the overpopulation of homeless animals. The City reinstated its adoption program to assist with this crisis by making adoptable animals available by appointment. Once a pet is deemed adoptable, they are available either at the Animal Services Centre or one of our partner agencies: the Calgary Humane Society, or the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS).
Adoptions are available by appointment only by calling 311 or by visiting Animal Services. Appointment are available from 10:00am thru 5:30pm (this may change and is subject to availability) Monday through Saturday. Adoption cost is $169 + GST for cats and $225 + GST for dogs. Adoption fees include medical and dental care, vaccinations, microchip, City of Calgary licence, and spaying/neutering.
Anyone interested in adopting a pet is encouraged to check out the adoptable animals on Calgary.ca/pets and at the links below.
