Max

Newfoundland

Male, 1 yr

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Story

*Max is on a sleepover! Wish him luck!*Introducing our big friendly giant Max! This gorgeous guy is a certified shelter staff favourite and is basically just one REALLY enormous teddy bear. Max is incredibly social and will introduce himself to every new person unsolicited. Some people might mistake him for a young bear as he trots over to them for pets! He`s still an adolescent dog and is getting used to his growing adult body, so he can be rather clumsy. Watching him bound and zoom around is the most ridiculous sight! Despite being somewhat of a puppy, he is very well-behaved. He takes treats gently, walks loose on leash, goes to the bathroom outside for the most part and adapts well to new situations. He has even done well being alone for up to 3 hours! Max has never lived with children before, and due to his arousal, we are recommending kids 10 and older. He has no history with cats or small animals, but has shown potential to live peacefully with them based on his laidback demeanor. In his previous home, he did live with a senior extra large dog for some time and there were no concerns! As a Newfoundland, it`s important that his future adopters can commit to regular grooming (seriously, it`s a full time job) and are willing to deal with some drool. Due to the heavy double coat, you may need to get creative to keep Max cool in the summertime. In short, Max is a dream and we know he won`t last long!Max is:- kids aged 10+ recommended, supervised interactions required- unknown with cats, slow intros required- open to dogs pending successful intros, lived with senior XL dog before

Nala

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 7 mos

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Nala, a lovely former momma who is ready to be someone else`s baby! This sweet, sensitive girl is quite nervous, but is slowly gaining confidence as she makes new friends. Nala has shown some reactivity behind a barrier and can be a little hesitant when meeting new people or when things get busy. With a slow and thoughtful introduction (and lots of yummy treat bribery), Nala begins to warm up and show her friendly self. She`s still learning to befriend new people, and when Nala has had enough, she will let you know! She`s also not a fan of hands at first and takes some time to warm up to pets, but she`s always happy to go on a nice walk where she loves to take in her surroundings and explore. She is wonderful on leash and prefers to take things slow to soak up all the enriching smells.In her previous home, Nala lived with children and had many interactions with other kids as well. Because it takes her time to warm up, though, older kids who can read and respect her body language and space would be best. Nala also successfully shared a home with 3 cats and another larger dog and did great with all of her furry siblings! She has had very positive interactions with several dogs outside the home as well. With slow, supervised introductions, we think Nala could enjoy the company of other pets again. She will need some support with house training, possible separation stress and fear-based behaviours in her future home based on notes from her previous owner and on what we have observed here in shelter. If you can give Nala a safe place to land while she rediscovers her loving, confident personality, she will thank you for the rest of her days!Nala is:- open to older kids who can read and respect body language, lived with children previously- open to cats, slow intros required, successfully lived with 3 cats previously- open to dogs pending successful intros, lived with another dog previously- slow to warm up and displays barrier reactivity and fear in shelter
