Casper

Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua

Male, 3 yrs 2 mos
Red Deer, AB
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date, House-trained,
Story
Casper was a rescue we found through a friend, when I brought him home he was almost 8 weeks old. He’s now 3 with his birthday being July 11, 2020. He’s very affectionate, loving and loyal. Knows all basic commands and is fully house trained, as well as great with kids of all ages. Reason for rehoming is due to the fact I can’t give him the time he deserves with work (away a lot). I would love to find him a home where he’s loved, cared for and with someone who can give him all the time in the world. He’s got quite a unique personality that will have you laughing and smiling all day. He even lets you know when it’s his bedtime if you’ve lost track of time. He comes with food, treats, toys, bed, brush and clippers, kennel, travel kennel, leash & harness and a tie out cable if needed.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She was a tough one to assess because she naturally has a stiff body. It can throw off other dogs but she just wants to play. She is calm and social. Affectionate and a bit of a Velcro dog. She was one of our office dogs and was around dogs of all sizes. Seems to prefer smaller dogs, like playful dogs and indifferent dogs. Wouldn’t recommend overly pushy dogs or dominant dogs. She is very tolerant and I believe would do great around kids but haven’t seen her around kids. She is a very structured dog and picks up a routine very quickly. She is also house broken, walks well on a leash and mosh of the time we’ll mannered. ##1801610##

Story
Hi, I'm Petie, and I'm an absolute sweetie! About me: I have been a stray for a long time so I am really skinny. But with a little love and care, I will fill out nicely. I love everything and everyone. I usually have a smile on my face. I am already pretty good on an extendable leash. If I trot too far ahead, I come back as soon as my foster mom calls me. I am affectionate and friendly, a fast learner, and have a gentle and calm demeanor. Likes: I love meeting new people. Plus, I love going for walks. I really love belly rubs. Dislikes: I dislike conflict. Sometimes the resident dog at my foster home gets a bit grumpy with me. But I understand that it's because he isn't used to sharing his space. I am a peace loving doggie so I just walk calmly away from the conflict. Kennel trained: Yes. I'm not especially interested in going in my kennel. However, my foster mom says it's okay (since I am housetrained and because I don't chew on, or destroy, anything).Housetrained: Yes. Dogs: I am good with other dogs. Cats: Maybe. I haven't encountered a cat while I have been with my foster mom. Children. I love kids. I am a large dog, though, and I have been known to jump up occasionally (when I get really excited).

Story
Age: 4 monthsMeet Thompson! This little cutie came to our shelter with a facial injury; he has healed well and is now looking for love. Thompson spent some time in a foster home who had nothing but good things to say about him. His foster family says he is social, playful, good with dogs, kids and cats, and is a big fan of fetch and playing in the kiddie pool. He has mastered sit and is working hard to learn more. Like any puppy, Thompson will need lots of care and attention to ensure he grows up strong, confident and happy, but in return he reward you with unconditional love, lots of puppy kisses and be your best buddy for life. Make and appointment today to bring Thompson home!

Story
Age: 6 monthsWeight: 15.10 kgA bit about me:- unknown history with children- unknown history with cats- unknown history with dogs; dogs okay pending successful introductionMeet Ingrid! Ingrid is a cute, friendly and excitable little lady looking for her new home. Ingrid was found as a stray, so not too much is known about her yet. Ingrid is still working on her manners and would thrive in a home that understands that even if she isn't puppy sized, she's still a puppy inside. Ingrid would love to go on lots of exciting adventures with her people, and will enjoy activities that keep her brain busy, like puzzle feeders and scent-work courses. Ingrid may do well with another dog who can be a playmate for her.Ingrid can't wait to go home, so please come visit her soon!Hi my name is Ingrid!
