Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.HEX hails from the Northern community of Sandy Lake and came south with his brother, Hoppity, to find his forever home. He’s UtD on his vaccines including Rabies, he’s microchipped, had Interceptor Plus dewormer and has been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. We don’t have any information on his parents so the breeds we think he is an educated guess based on what he and his brother look like and the same can be said of the size he’ll grow to be as well. He’s a gentle, quiet, very loveable boy who loves his hoomans almost as much as he loves other dogs and everyone’s always greeted by a happy, tail wagging boy. HEX is working on his crate training but unfortunately the first time he was left alone in it the fire alarm “low battery” announcement started going off so it freaked poor HEX right out and he chewed up his bed, blanket and the tray in his crate. So it’s been a challenge for his foster to get him settled in there again but she’s nailed it! He was in his crate yesterday with no issues and we’re sure he now understands that the alarm isn’t associated with his crate. He’s housetrained  and will let you know when he needs to go outside for a bathroom break. He really is a smart boy and seems to know exactly what’s expected of him and he’s always looking for you to give him direction. He loves to go on walks and gets excited when he knows he’s going on one. He’s had no formal leash training so he does tend to pull but he wears a front clip harness and he does much better while wearing that. One of the cutest things he does is graze on his food as he very rarely finish his meal all at once. After a while he will paw on his bowl and eat the remains kibble if the floor. He’s very well mannered and at meal times he’ll “sit” nicely for them and he’ll also take treats “gentle.” HEX would love his family to be an active one who loves the outdoors and to go on hikes and walks in the woods. He does need a family that’s has Husky experience and understands the complex nature that comes with the breed. In his case, he’s a very good boy now but without the breed experience he could easily become more challenging the older he gets. He does well in a vehicle so will always be up for a drive, especially if it leads to an adventure for him. He’s fostered with another dog and they get along really well together. And will romp and play until they just tire themselves out. He lived with 2 cats in his previous home so he should do well in a home with them providing they’re dog savvy. If there’s a dog in his new home we did need them at the meet and greet with him to see how they interact together. We always recommend a slow, monitored introduction with the resident dog while he’s leashed for the first few times they meet or interact. Children should be aged 10yrs and up due to his happy-go-lucky bouncing around plus they should be loving, gentle and kind towards animals. He does require a fenced-in yard so he can be kept safe while he has a run around and play so an apartment is not suitable home for him. HEX is an adolescent who’s had no formal training to speak of and although he’s a cute, playful, fun guy he will only be adopted to a family that’s going to be totally dedicated to getting him the mandatory training he needs. He’ll also need time, patience and dedication to both him and his training for him to end up being the greatest dog he can be.  It should be noted that HEX was previously known as Hippity and was returned to the rescue after being adopted at just 3 months old and then returned to the rescue at 7.5 months of age. It was due to no fault of his own and he’s been nothing but a great boy since he’s been back with us.  If HEX sounds like he’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 7, 2026, 1:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.LUMINOX hails from the Northern community of Poplar Hill and came south along with her 4 puppies to find living homes. She was a loving, attentive mum and now she deserves to get that loving family she’s always dreamed of. She’s spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped and been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. We can definitely see the Husky in her but not so much the Lab but she does have the loving, soft nature of one. So basically the breeds are just our assumption and she probably has many more in her too. She’s a bit under weight so could still do with gaining a few pounds which she should now seeing as she’s no longer nursing her puppies. She’s a sweet girl who just wants snuggles, toys and food. She loves her people and will be their shadow and follow them room-to-room because she doesn’t want to lose sight of them. Belly rubs? Did someone say belly rubs? This girl absolutely loves them and when she has her fosters full attention, she’ll then flop onto the floor and roll over so she can get that full-on belly rub.   LUMINOX is crate trained and will sleep well in it at night but not such a fan of it in the daytime so she is kept in a secure room and will settle down f er right away. She does well on her walks but we do not recommend anytime soon that she be off leash until her new owner is well acquainted with her and she’s very trusting of them. She’s housetrained and will let you know when she has to go outside for a bathroom break. She loves her belly rubs and will lean into her foster to let her know she wants them and when she gets their full attention she’ll then flop on the floor for her to give them. She loves to be in the water and she’ll run into it at full tilt and then lay down in it especially after a nice long walk in the woods. She enjoys car rides but sometimes needs bit of a boost to get her in there. She has the funniest quirk of when she’s going somewhere she’ll flop on the ground and go limp. However, she’s fine to be picked up and her smaller size makes it easier to manoeuvre her. She’ll do this sometimes at night when it’s bedtime and time to get her into her crate. She does this as she’d much rather stay with her people and she envisions herself lying on the bed rather than in the crate. She’s well socialized with dogs of all sizes and a lot of different breeds and she also has 2 of them in her foster home. They walk and play well together and love to burn off energy by playing chase in the back yard. She does have a prey drive so we’re saying no cats or critters in her new home. She’s only met children aged 10 plus and did very well with them so we are recommending they should be over the age of 10yrs and be gentle and loving towards animals.  LUMINOX loves to play with toys especially the squeaky ones. She has to be monitored with them though as she’ll chew through them pretty quick to get at that squeaker. So we’re recommending the toughest toys for her like the Kong brand and Nyla bones to chew on. She’s very food motivated so it’s very easy to teach new tricks and commands with treats. She already knows sit, paw, down, come and stay to name a few. Although she already knows these commands we do strongly recommend that her new owner take her to obedience/training school and it’s also a great way for her owner to bond with her. She’s great at sniffing out kibble too and has raided her kibble bin a couple of times so food should be kept well out of her reach. She doesn’t show any signs of  resource guarding with people when it comes to food or toys and they can safely be taken from her. She does require a fenced in yard and one that is secure as she’ll go on a mission to find gaps in it and try to escape. She does have a prey drive so  absolutely no cats or small critters in the home for her. She does chase after bunnies and other critters and one time she did manage to catch a bunny and it unfortunately didn’t survive.  If LUMINOX sounds like she’d fit into your home then please submit an adoption application to meet her.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 10:07 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ARGYLE hails from Fort Severn, a Northern community and came south with her 6 puppies Arisaig,Yamaska, Kokanee, Algonquin, Banff & Makwa (they’re known as the “Provincial Parks” Litter) and she came south to find her forever home. She’s spayed, UtD on vaccines, including a Rabies shot, is microchipped, received 2 doses of “Dolpac” dewormer due to having tapeworm and has been deemed a healthy girl by her Vet. We actually have a video of her with her puppies on the community she came from, which is very rare to see. Although she doesn’t really look like a Husky she does have an undercoat like one so she no doubt has that breed in her. Seeing as she comes from a community with many stray dogs she no doubt has many different breeds in her as well. She’s a very placid, laid back girl who loves her humans and snuggling up with them is one of her favourite things to do. She’s been such a great dog to foster and so well behaved since day one. We feel she had an owner at some point as she knew some basic commands when she arrived. She’s well socialized with people and will excitedly run up to greet them with a wagging tail. ARGYLE is crate trained and will sleep in it quietly at night and also take a nap in it during the day. She’s housetrained and understands that bathroom breaks are for outside. She loves going on walks and wears a collar and harness while on a leash. She loves to have a sniff-a-thon on her walks and will check out every rock, leaf and basically anything she encounters. She loves to chew on her bones and is very susceptible to tasty treats too. She will “sit” for her meals and take treats “gentle.” ARGYLE would love a family who loves the outdoors as much as she does, going on hikes, walks and will take her on adventures with them. She travels well in a vehicle and will just rest in her crate and quietly enjoy being driven around. She’s been very friendly with the dogs she’s met so far so should do well with one in her new home providing they are laid back like she is and not dominant at all. She will have a meet and greet with the family that wants to adopt her including any dog that’s currently in the home to make sure they are a good match. She can be an only dog as long as she’s not left alone for long periods at a time. She hasn’t met a cat so we’re not suggesting she be with one at this time. However, if there’s a cat in the home and it’s dog savvy then that will be considered. She requires a fenced-in yard so she can run around and play while being kept safe. She’s not suitable for apartment life due to her size and exercise needs. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be gentle, loving and caring towards animals.  If ARGYLE sounds like she’d suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her.     Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 7, 2026, 1:01 pm
