Story

Hi!! I’m Outlaw, but don’t let my name confuse you - I’m the sweetest, well behaved, rule follower! About me: I am the cutest most gentle pup and can’t wait to meet you! I may be slightly timid when we initially meet, but quickly become comfortable and am learning to be more and more confident each day! I love to play with my sister and follow my big foster brother around, but am also very good at keeping myself entertained with all my fun toys! I love going outdoors, and can’t wait until I’m old enough to go on walks and keep exploring, I think I’ll love it! My foster parents say I am a super chill pup with such a great demeanour. They say I’m very smart and a good listener! Everyone that meets me says I’m the best boy and my forever family will be so lucky to have me. I can’t wait to meet you!! Likes: playing, exploring the yardDislikes: nothing Special request: none Kennel trained: yes! Love my kennel House trained: working on it! Dogs: yes!

Scoot

American Bulldog

Female, 4 yrs

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Don`t let Scoot`s first impression fool you! This girl may seem nervous or defensive in her kennel, especially with new people, but once she`s out and about, she is the sweetest lady. Scoot is super affectionate and loves to nudge your hand for pets, lean against your legs, or even climb into your lap (despite definitely not being lap-dog sized)! Belly rubs are one of her favorite things, and she`ll let you know when she thinks the attention has stopped too soon. Treats are the quickest way to her heart and help her build trust with new people. Scoot would do best with a patient family who can advocate for her, avoid head-on introductions with strangers, and help her continue gaining confidence. She may do best with respectful older children who can respect her boundaries. Scoot did come into our care with another dog, but with a limited history, we`re not sure what their relationship looked like. We are also unsure of how she`d do with cats and small animals, so we recommend very slow, supervised introductions. Scoot will give you all the love you could ever ask for, and her only request is that you give her the same!Scoot is:- unknown with kids, older kids who can respect boundaries may be best- unknown with cats, slow intros required- open to dogs pending successful intro

Story

Despite his name, this Ghost is impossible to forget and is not scary at all! This kindhearted boy was found abandoned, but he`s left the past behind and is ready for the loving home he has always deserved. Ghost may seem a little shy when meeting new people, but give him just a few seconds to sniff your hand and scope out the room and he`ll be trotting over for attention. He melts into ear and bum scratches, and will lean right into you for more affection. He`s also a pro at offering a polite paw to say hello! He`s currently on a hypoallergenic diet and itch medication to keep him feeling his best. His history with cats, dogs, and children is unknown, so it`s important that introductions are slow and supervised! Could Ghost haunt your heart forever?Ghost is:- unknown with kids, supervised interactions required- unknown with cats, slow intros required- unknown with dogs, open pending successful intro

Lotus

Labrador Retriever/Collie

Female, 4 yrs

Edmonton, AB

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Lotus's Story Lotus is a beautifully gentle 45lb dog who is looking for her perfect match! At four years old, much of life is still new to her. She spent her early years in a shelter environment, and while she’s made beautiful progress in foster care, she is still learning to navigate everyday experiences with confidence. Lotus takes things in at her own pace — and when she’s given the time and space to do that, she shows just how much she has to offer. With people she trusts, Lotus’s personality shines! She has a wonderfully silly, goofy side — zooming around the yard, playing with toys, and showing off a lighthearted charm that feels like a reward you’ve earned. < Lotus is naturally timid with new people and unfamiliar situations. She will need an adopter who understands that trust takes time, and who is committed to using gentle, patient, positive reinforcement to help her continue building confidence. She is not a dog who will settle in overnight — but she is absolutely a dog who will form a deep and meaningful bond. One of Lotus’s greatest strengths is her love of other dogs. She has excellent social skills and truly comes alive in their presence. A calm, confident canine companion would likely help her feel more secure and could play an important role in her continued growth. Lotus is looking for a quiet, stable home with a fully fenced yard, where she can move at her own pace and feel safe as she adjusts. Her ideal person is someone who is either experienced with shy dogs or open to learning — someone who sees her sensitivity not as a challenge, but as something to respect and support. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Lotus will continue to grow into the dog she is meant to be. She doesn’t need perfection — just someone willing to meet her where she is and walk alongside her as she gains confidence. Her journey is already well underway. Now she’s ready to continue it in a home of her own.
