Story
Bolt is a big personality in a very handsome package! This energetic, toy-loving guy is always ready for action, whether that means a spirited game of tug, chasing toys around the house, or showing off his adorable vocal “commentary” while he plays. He’s incredibly affectionate with the people he trusts and absolutely loves snuggling up for cuddles and brushing sessions after a busy day.In the home, Bolt has shown himself to be quite content and has settled nicely with his foster family. He has done well being left alone for short periods and enjoys spending time close to his people. He’s smart, knows his name, has great recall, and forms strong bonds with the humans in his circle.Bolt would benefit from a family that can provide him lots of structure and understanding as he navigates his new life! A family that can help him direct his excitable energy into appropriate channels and help him learn his best leash manners would be ideal!Bolt is also a dog who will need understanding, structure, and ongoing support from his future family. He is a very high-energy dog who can become easily overstimulated, especially around toys and during exciting situations. Sometimes his enthusiasm can come across as intimidating — he may bark loudly, jump up, or become very fixated on toys during play. His foster family found that calm voices, slow movements, and clear boundaries helped him settle and make better choices.Bolt is looking for an active, experienced home that will embrace both his lovable quirks and his challenges. With the right people beside him, this playful, snuggly, larger-than-life dog has so much potential to shine.A little bit about Bolt: - Kids: Can live with older kids, preferably 10 years and older! All interactions must be actively supervised by an adult.- Cats/Small Animals: No history with cats or small animals. All introductions should be done slowly over a period of time and heavily supervised.- Dogs: Potential for another medium/large dog, pending a successful dog-to-dog interaction.

Story
Meet Bella, the true definition of an active, outdoorsy girl! Bella loves to be outside, sniffing, exploring and just enjoying the fresh air. In winter, Bella enjoyed doing epic zoomies in the snow, but now that spring is here, Bella is in her element. Whether she is `helping` with gardening, playing with water from the hose, or showing off her fetch skills, Bella loves the outdoors! Her other love in life - hanging with her people! From car rides, to cuddles, to keeping an eye on you while you work, Bella is always happiest if she can be nearby. Bella is an active and playful dog who enjoys people and has previously lived with cats, kids, and a small dog. She is still working on building her confidence with on-leash walks, and would benefit from an active, patient family who can support her as she builds her skills. Reach out to Calgary Humane if this sweet lady sounds like she could be the perfect addition to your family!A bit about Bella:- kids okay; all interactions should be supervised- cats okay; slow, supervised introductions recommended- dogs okay pending successful introduction

She’s searching for a calm home where she can settle in and relax after going on fun new escapades with her people. Juniper is wonderful in the car and will happily lay down in the backseat while she waits for her next adventure! She enjoys getting out to sniff and explore, though she can pull on leash at times. She has lots of energy, loves to dig, and will happily chase a ball, though convincing her to give it back is part of the game! She also entertains herself well with her toys when it`s time to settle down. Juniper has lived successfully with cats and may do well with a feline friend again!

She adores butt scratches, greets new people with enthusiasm, and has been gentle and friendly with kids she’s met.

Story
Imagine being just six weeks old, living outdoors in a rural community during freezing winter temperatures—surrounded by ten other dogs, competing for food, warmth, and survival. That was Link’s beginning. It’s a heartbreaking start, but it’s only one small chapter of his story. Link came into care with Megan's Rescue in the dead of winter—tiny, unsure, and still learning that the world could be kind. Since then, he has done nothing but grow. Now a young adult, Link is patiently waiting for the family he’s always deserved. Link is a happy, gentle soul with a playful streak. He adores his toys and has a special love for carrying sticks along on his adventures. He travels wonderfully in the car, is house trained, and crate trained—making him an easy companion to welcome into a home. He does well with other dogs, though he can show some resource-guarding tendencies, so continued guidance and structure will help him thrive. Because of his rough start, Link isn’t 100% confident in every situation yet—but he is eager to learn, eager to please, and highly food motivated, which makes training a rewarding experience for both of you. Above all else, Link loves people. He’s gentle, affectionate, and happiest when he’s by your side, building trust and soaking up love. Link has survived his hardest days. Now he’s ready for his best ones—could that be with you? 🐾

Story
German Shepherd, 22 months – Seeking Experienced Home Sweet, affectionate 22-month-old German Shepherd looking for the right home. She is gentle with our kids but is very boisterous, and forms strong bonds. Fully house-trained and crate-trained. She has a sensitive stomach, so diet needs consistency to avoid gastrointestinal upset. She is reactive to other dogs and currently wears a muzzle on walks, so she requires an experienced, confident handler willing to continue training. She can be destructive if left unsupervised and does best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Smart and loving, but needs structure, boundaries, and attention. Will steal food if given the chance. Best suited to an experienced owner, preferably breed experienced, in a pet-free home and ideally child-feee home. In the right environment, she will be a loyal and rewarding companion.
