Story
Luke is 9.5 years old. He is looking for a loving home to spend his last years. He is a good boy that just needs somebody with love and time to give him. The reason for rehoming is that we just had a baby and we don't have the ability to give him the love he needs. Luke has good temperament. He typically just wants some attention and love and walks. His favorite toys are fake bones or toys that "squeek". He is up to date on his shots. And is house and kennel trained and is neutered.

Story
We’re looking to find a good home for Winter, our 2ish year old borzoi/maremma/Great Pyrenees mix , spayed and fully up to date on vaccines. Clean bill of health. We adopted her from the humane society back in November 2024. Winter is a lazy, gentle, big goofball who becomes incredibly sweet once she trusts you. She can be nervous and bark at first with new people and animals, so she needs someone who really understands dogs, patience, and working with shy/ nervous pups. Winter’s ideal home would be with someone who understands she needs time to warm up to strangers, cats and small dogs (not good with big dogs). We are willing to drive anywhere in AB, and pay for her pet insurance for 3 months after rehoming and willing to do a trial run

Story
❤️ Meet a Sweet, Bonded Duo Looking for a New Beginning These two wonderful dogs have been together since they were puppies and share a deep, unbreakable bond. They are calm, gentle, and incredibly loving. They enjoy toys, balls, and playing together — even though fetch isn’t really their thing. They’re happiest simply being near each other and near their people. �� Their Story I originally took them in from a friend who went on vacation. After leaving them with me, he shared that due to health issues, he could no longer care for them. They have been with me ever since, and I’ve given them a stable, loving home. I am now moving to another province, and due to housing and relocation limitations, I cannot bring them with me. Their happiness and safety matter deeply to me, and I’m searching for a home where they can stay together and continue to thrive.

Story
Shadow will be 9 years old in April 2026. He is a very loyal and loving dog who gets along well with our other dog and two cats, but it is unknown how he will react to strange cats or dogs. He has been around kids his whole life. He is very affectionate and wants to be around his people all the time. His biggest flaw, and the reason we are no longer able to keep him, is his inability to control his barking when he sees anyone outside or when we come home or when anyone comes to the door. We have attempted to correct this behaviour without success. He would do well on a quiet street or out in the country with a companion who spends a lot of time at home.
