My story

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

EHS foster parent comment: "Filo loves having her head, cheeks, ear and neck rubbed. She is extremely affectionate now she's settling
in and used to being with me. She loves company and being close to where I am. She enjoys playing with a wand toy, playing in a small open box!"

Filo arrived in her foster home very timid and spent most of her time tucked into her carrier, which is still her favourite safe space. With time to adjust at her own pace, she's already made huge progress and is showing her sweet, affectionate side.

Filo is shy with new people at first and needs a calm environmnent where she can gain courage at her own pace. She prefers being approached gently and doesn't like being picked up, but once she trusts you, she happily hops into your lap for head, ear, and cheek rubs. She's also beginning to show little bursts of playfulness as she gets comfortable.

She's a warm, gentle girl and if you're patient and willing to let her bloom at her own pace, Filo will reward you with so much love.

Additional adoption info

Before you Adopt
Pet adoption is a big commitment. We encourage you to spend considerable time thinking about and researching the type of pet most suitable to your family. Most breeds have their own characteristic traits and specific needs which need to be considered. Remember that some animals have lifespans of 20 years or more.

Prospective adopters will meet the following requirements:

- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have two pieces of identification, with at least one showing your current address and a picture.
- ALL FAMILY MEMBERS, sometimes including family pets, must be present during the adoption process.
- If you already have a dog and are considering adopting another one, you MUST be prepared to bring your current family dog to the interview. This will help you to determine if all family members and existing pets will get along with the new pet.
- If you live in rental accommodations, please confirm that your landlord allows the type of pet you are considering, and that you have paid your pet deposit before you adopt. There are NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES if the building owner does not accept the animal. In addition, you will have to pay all regular surrender fees if you need to return the animal to the Edmonton Humane Society.

If you are looking to adopt a dog or puppy please note:
Some of the dogs on our web site have recommendations on the age of younger family members. These restrictions are placed out of the concern of the dogs as well as in consideration of families.

Remember that new animals arrive every day. You may have to return to the shelter a number of times before you find a good match. It is better to wait and come back again than it is to take home an animal who does not suit your lifestyle
