My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A little bit about Markki:
- Friendly, positive history with kids, all interactions should be supervised
- No history with cats or small animals, all introductions to be done slowly over time
- Came in with littermate, potential for other dog in home pending successful introduction

Meet Markki! Markki is a 4-year-old shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. He came into our care alongside his brother, Toby, and could be adopted to his new home with him! He may also do well with another dog following slow, positive introductions. Markki is incredibly friendly with adults and kids alike and lives for affection… so much so that if you stop petting him, he might crank his head around to you to politely demand more!

Markki is a strong, enthusiastic guy who can get jumpy when he’s excited and is currently working on loose-leash walking and keeping all four paws on the ground. He’s also a bit on the chunky side and would benefit from a gradual weight-loss plan. New environments can make him nervous, but with patience, structure, and LOTS of pets, Markki settles in just fine. Cats and small animals would be new to him, so all introductions must be supervised and done gradually.

Markki is a goofy, gentle giant with an immense amount of love to give his future family. Will that be you?

More about this shelter

CONNECTING LIVES SINCE 1922

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.
