Story
Faye is a 3-4 year old shepherd mix (26kg) adopted from the Edmonton Humane Society. At home she is calm, gentle, affectionate, and deeply bonded to her people. House-trained, never destructive, and trustworthy when left alone. She will greet you every morning with a face lick and spend most of her day happily snoozing nearby.Faye is a reactive dog. She can freeze, bark, and lunge at other dogs on leash walks and requires a patient and experienced handler. She has never shown any signs of aggression and her reactivity is entirely fear and anxiety based. She is currently on medication to help lower her baseline anxiety. That said, with the help of a certified trainer and veterinary support she has made tremendous progress and no longer react to people, bicycles, or scooters.We are looking for a quieter neighbourhood, outdoor space, and a patient family experienced with reactive dogs. She has so much love to give the right family.

Story
Adoption fee is negotiable for the right family.This is cucumber great pyrenees border collie gaurdian breed 8 months.Loves water and running! He is such a big goof ball.He has strong, traditional livestock guardian instincts. He is very protective of his home and property, meaning he is not a match for busy suburban neighborhoods, and dog parks.He lives with cats and dogs, He is selective with dogs only at first, once he gets use to them he is fine and plays.He is best on a farm or acerage. He was fine in the city with all animals till he got attacked. I have been training him and on meds and guidance from the vet. He can be rehomed with other animals, but will need patience to get him comfortable around them. Ive had animals come in and less than 24hrs later hes playing with them, but takes controlled environment.Currently not fixed, I have a date set for if hes still in my care to get fixed.

Story
Have Had Roxy since she was several weeks old bought from a breeder. She is 3 Years old her birthday is in May. She is a very typical pug and is trained to be in her kennel when the wife and I are out she is also trained to sleep in her kennel. We have another small dog but are only allowed one where we are moving to so Roxy may have some issues initially from missing her buddy. She is used to playing with our Pomchi and is trained to go the bathroom on pee pads as well as when on walks. She does need more training on walking properly and going the bathroom outside in a yard as we do not have one. She does like to lay beside or across you and loves cuddles and belly rubs. We (My wife and I) are looking for Roxy to go to a good home where she can get the attention she deserves and just be a lazy little happy pug. She was born with a pushed in vulva an is on a urinary food diet to help prevent future complications. She has had regular vet checks and vaccinations

Story
We took this beautiful girl in when she needed a place to go, expecting it to be temporary. She’s an approximately 1-year-old mixed breed and an absolute sweetheart. She is fully house & crate trained and could likely be trusted free-roaming if she were the only dog. She loves being outside, has great energy but also knows how to chill, and loves her toys & frozen Kongs. She’s very food motivated and has had professional training—she knows sit, stay, paw, heel, etc.Unfortunately, she isn’t getting along with our other female dog, and we don’t want her spending her days crated. She would most likely thrive as the only dog in the home. We’re unsure how she would be with children long term but has been well behaved and gentle during various brief interactions with children. We love her dearly and don’t want to see her go, but she deserves a home where she can truly thrive. Rehoming fee will be donated to a rescue of your choice

Story
Bandit is 6yrs old, he's very reactive and protective. He tends to be clingy at home. He learns new commands very quickly. He's good with people and dogs that he knows. But is not good with strangers or unfamiliar dogs. Ideally needs lots of activities but hasn't been able to get much because of my medical limitations.
