Husky puppies and dogs in Olds, Alberta

McFly has had a bit of a rough start in life & could really use a champion.   He was adopted as a puppy during Covid so he was rarely alone & he also didn’t meet many people outside of his home.   This has resulted in a lack of socialization skills & suffering from some separation anxiety.   His family later went through some turmoil with major life changes & ultimately made the decision to return him.    The upheaval has left this sweet boy stressed & confused. Strengths:  -Smart, loyal boy who learns quickly-Great with women -Very gentle with children-Sweet & affectionate with people he knows-Does well with most other dogs, but can be selective -Has lived with cats-100% housebroken-Loves car rides Needs improvement: -Suffers from separation anxiety-Is wary of men, strangers & anyone with grey hair until he gets to know them -Protective of his food & needs to be separated from other dogs at feeding times-Can sometimes be jealous of the attention given to another dog instead of him   McFly needs some extra time to adjust to new people & situations.  But if given some space, patience, love & a bucketload of treats, he will befriend anyone.  He has made an impressive amount of progress since he’s been in our care and we have no doubt that with some more time & effort, he will blossom into the wonderful companion he’s meant to be!  The thing that he wants the most and we’ve been struggling to provide is stability.  He requires a safe space with someone he can rely on.  Once his world stabilizes & he can relax, a lot of his issues will hopefully start to resolve. ##2008930##

ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Heeah Age: 6 yrs old Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Husky Jindo mix Colour: Beige Weight: 18kg / 40 lb Microchipped: Yes   MY RESCUE STORY Hi there! I’m Heeah! I arrived at the city pound wearing an orange collar—clearly, I once had a home. But no one ever came looking for me, and I’m still not sure how I ended up all alone in the world. Thankfully, some kind-hearted rescuers saw past my confusion and loneliness. They gave me a second chance, wrapping me in safety and love. Now, I’m ready to begin a new chapter—with a forever family by my side. I have so much love to give, and I can't wait to share it with someone special. Could that someone be you?   MY HEALTH - Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) - I’ve been neutered and have no known health issues.   MY PERSONALITY I’m a sweet, beautiful girl with a soft beige coat and a bubbly personality—like a toasted marshmallow come to life! I absolutely adore people and light up whenever someone gives me attention. I’ll happily trot over, tail wagging, just to soak up all the pets and love you’re willing to give. Yep, I’m a total attention seeker—in the best way! I have a soft spot for kids, too. I’m gentle and patient, and I’ll take treats from little hands with the sweetest care. I love being part of the action, whether that’s exploring the yard with my doggy friends or joining in on a good play session. I bring joy wherever I go and can't wait to share that joy with a family of my own!   MY SOCIAL SKILLS - With People: I absolutely adore people and thrive on human companionship. Whether you’re an old friend or someone I’ve just met, I’m always excited to say hello and soak up all the pets and attention you’ll give me. I’m especially great with kids! With gentle, respectful introductions, I’d be a wonderful addition to a family. I love greeting little ones with a wagging tail and happily accepting treats from their hands.   I may be full of energy and enthusiasm, but don’t let that fool you—I’m also a total snuggle bug. I love being close and don’t mind being picked up for a cuddle. And the best part? I don’t guard my food or toys around people—I’m just happy to share the love!   - With Dogs:  I’m a social butterfly who loves making new friends and playing with my dog pals—especially those close to my size. Playtime is one of my favorite things, and I can really shine when I’m with dogs who have good manners and know how to share the fun. That said, I can be a little sensitive around smaller dogs, especially black ones, and sometimes I’ll try to turn it into a chase game! It’s all in good fun, but I do best with mindful supervision and playmates who match my energy.   Even though I’m friendly, I won’t hesitate to stand my ground if another dog is being too forward or disrespectful—I know my boundaries, and I’m not afraid to speak up. Slow, respectful introductions are the key to helping me feel comfortable and confident with new furry friends.   When it comes to mealtime, I like to have my own space from smaller dogs. I can get a little protective of my food if other smaller dogs are too close, and I may growl to let them know I need some room. Don’t worry though—I'm just advocating for myself. Feeding me separately in a calm, supervised setting works perfectly and helps me enjoy my meals stress-free.   - With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, so my reaction is unknown. Due to my strong prey drive, I would do best in a home without small animals.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I have a balanced energy level—full of enthusiasm for outdoor adventures and playtime, yet calm and content when it’s time to relax indoors. Whether it’s exploring the fresh air or snuggling up for a peaceful rest, I’m happy to go with the flow and make the most of both active moments and cozy downtime.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m a great walking buddy—I follow my handler closely and walk nicely on a leash, making every stroll a peaceful, happy time. Even though I’m a husky mix, I’m quite the quiet one—I rarely bark, which surprises a lot of people! I’m also very calm and cozy when resting in my kennel, showing just how well I can settle down.   When it comes to potty habits, I’m pretty flexible—I know how to go both indoors and outdoors. But I much prefer the fresh air outside to do my business, keeping my home clean and comfortable for everyone. I’m all about making life easy and enjoyable for my humans!   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: - A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. - A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. - A family that can shower me with love and attention. - Understanding of my strong love for food and a commitment to helping me become more patient through positive reinforcement training. - Understanding of my high prey drive and willingness to guide me with positive reinforcement training to reduce chasing instincts, improve focus, and help me stay calm around small animals.   SPECIAL NOTES Volunteers and staff always tell me I look so young for my age—and honestly, I still act like a happy little pup sometimes! I’m a sweet, joyful girl with a gentle heart who hasn’t let a tough past dim my light. I greet each day with a wagging tail, a playful spirit, and a whole lot of love to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will bring warmth, smiles, and sunshine into your life, I might be the one you've been waiting for! ##2430266##

All About Me Name: Ferrero Estimated Age: 2 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Laika Mix Color: Black & White Weight: 25 kg / 55 lb   My Personality Hi, I’m Ferrero and I’m as striking in spirit as I am in looks. With my sharp features and alert eyes, I might look like a wild northern breed but deep down, I’m a big-hearted goofball who loves people. If you’ve got hands, I’ll be right there nudging them for pets. I’m not shy at all and will gladly cozy up to strangers and soak in affection. You can even scoop me up with your arms around my belly yep, I’m that relaxed around humans. I’m clever, quick to learn, and very in tune with the people around me. That means I pick up on moods, routines, and especially… snack times.   Social Skills With People: A+! I’m affectionate, confident, and seek human connection. I have zero hesitation when it comes to meeting new people. With Dogs: I’m playful with dogs I like, especially female friends like Elena. But I am a bit opinionated if another dog rubs me the wrong way, I might give a warning glare. I can get jealous too, so being the only dog at home might be best. With Cats: I haven’t met any, so we’re not sure yet.   My Ideal Home I’m a smart, affectionate, and active boy who’s still learning a few basics. My ideal home would: Have previous dog experience or the confidence to train a medium-to-large dog. Be up for working on my leash manners and kennel training. Possibly be a one-dog household, or have a mellow female dog who matches my play style.   Life at Home I use pee pads indoors and go potty outside too best of both worlds! I ride quietly in a kennel once I’m in it, but getting me inside one takes a bit of strategy and training. I don’t resource guard food or toys. I sometimes bark if I really want something, but it’s not excessive—just a little “Hey! Notice me?” kind of bark.   On My Walks‍ Let’s just say… I get very excited at the start. I’ll pull toward all the interesting smells, sights, and sounds and maybe insist on walking my own route. But once I’ve burned off that first burst of energy, I settle down and walk much more calmly. I just need someone who can guide me with a firm, kind hand and help me learn that walks are a team effort.   Special Notes I’ve got the looks of a wild northern breed, but I’m really just looking for warmth, structure, and love. With the right guide by my side, I’ll be the most loyal and entertaining companion you could ask for. Ready to meet your next adventure buddy? I’ll be waiting with a wagging tail and my signature smile.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Ferrero's YouTube Playlist ##2385124##
