Daisy Duke German shepherd/Labrador retriever X / Female / 9 months Available
Daisy Duke

Daisy Duke'd love to hop into the General Lee and head out on an adventure. But don't worry if you don't have a Dodge Charger - any car will do as long as it's taking her to a loving new home...
Daisy Duke is a friendly and affectionate girl with lots of energy to burn. Unfortunately she has been with us for quite a while, but during that time our wonderful volunteers have helped her develop good manners and social skills. Daisy Duke is a happy, energetic girl who will make an excellent running partner, as she is good on leash and already runs 5 miles with ease! She is rather partial to her toys and may be reluctant to share them with little people so would prefer a home with older children. Daisy Duke had a problem with the enamel forming on her adult teeth so had to have it removed. She has had a special sealant applied to her teeth and will need a good dental hygiene routine. Daisy Duke is a special girl with a great sense of humour and lots of love to give her new forever family. Come meet this fantastic girl today and it will be love at first sight!

Morgan German Shepherd X / Female / 6 years
Available
Morgan

Morgan is a calm, gentle girl who can be a little on the shy side initially. She loves to be with her people as much as possible so her new family will need to help her learn it’s cool to have some down time alone too. Morgan is super smart gal who knows all her basic obedience and is a very quick learner. She loves to run and would probably make a great jogging partner. Morgan has been known to do her Houdini impression and attempt to escape from her run, so caution should be used if she is outside alone! She got on well with the dogs and cats in her previous home and whilst she has been around children, she prefers the older, calmer ones. Morgan is a wonderful girl who is anxious to get on with the rest of her life with her new forever family!

Turner American Staff. Terrier X / Male / 1 year
Available
Turner

Turner is a playful and curious boy who can sometimes get a little over-excited. He is a fun-loving dog with a happy-go-lucky temperament. Although mid-sized, Turner is a strong boy with lots of energy and will do well in a home where he can get lots exercise.

Hooch American Staff. Terrier X / Male / 2 years

Hooch is a handsome boy who can be a little unsure but warms up very quickly. He loves to be with people and although he’s a big guy, would like to be a lap dog if given half the chance!

Chuck Blue Heeler X / Male / 1 year
Available

Chuck

Chuck2

 

Chuck is no stranger to the shelter having first arrived here in July 2009. He is currently spending time at one of our wonderful foster homes where he is thoroughly enjoying family life! Chuck is an extremely intelligent and very food motivated boy who loves to learn new things. He has a lot of energy to burn and would love a household with another doggy playmate. Chuck is a great running partner who like the Energizer bunny can go on and on – in fact he’s run up to 16k and would still carry on given the chance! He also knows agility and was so quick to learn that he has mastered most of the equipment in a very short amount of time and loved the work!
Chuck was not always such a lovely boy though, and he does have his “quirks” that his new home will need to be prepared to continue working on with him. He would do well in a home with people who have positive reinforcement knowledge and experience. Chuck is a quick learner and with good guidance and direction, it won’t be long before he becomes that wonderful family pet we all want.
Chuck is a really great dog with a lot to offer his new home, but he is not the right dog for everyone, so he will need that special someone to adopt this special boy. He enjoys being around people and spending time in the great outdoors. Chuck is a true companion to those that love, feed, and exercise him and he is depending on his new family to keep up the good work that has been done with him during his lengthy stay with us. Chuck is looking for an energetic adult home that will continue with his training and can keep his mind and body challenged and of course, provide him with all the love this great guy deserves!

Chuck is currently in foster care.  To see him please call 403-932-2072 ext 113 to make an appointment.

Harley

Harley is an extremely smart, special guy looking for the perfect home. He is a very energetic, attentive, and loyal boy. Harley is a playful dog who loves toys and rawhides and is currently learning that it is ok to share them, but for now he would prefer an adult only home. He already knows many commands and walks well on-leash, but would do best with an experienced owner who is willing to keep up with his training and help him build confidence. Harley loves to play with other dogs and has lived with cats before. He is looking for a home where he can spend time with his people in the great outdoors and receive all the love and attention he deserves!

Moe

"The object in this photo is smaller than it appears..."
Moe looks like a big dog in this picture, but he's actually mid-sized - the biggest part of Moe is his heart!

Moe is a happy and friendly dog who enjoys lots of attention and exploring the great outdoors with his people. He is a playful boy who loves his toys, but he doesn’t always like to share them or his food so would prefer a home with older children.

Denali Border Collie X / Female / 1 year
Adopted
Denali

Denali is a really sweet, gentle and easy going mid-sized dog. She has had surgery on her right knee and has spent time recovering in one of our wonderful foster homes. Denali has loved her time there but it is now time for her to find her forever home. She is in the final stages of her rehabilitation so her new family will need to continue with her exercise restrictions until mid-July. Denali is a very affectionate girl, who loves people and is very trusting. She enjoys looking out of the window watching the world go by and relaxing on the veranda with her people. Denali is a playful girl who loves her chew and puzzle toys - the treat she manages to extract from them are a real bonus too! She is good with dogs and cats and has been around birds but sees any free flying birds as her play thing! Denali is a quick learner who is working on her manners and would probably enjoy classes once her knee is fully healed. Denali also has mild hip dysplasia which should be relatively easy to manage with glucosamine and a therapeutic joint diet. She will need to maintain her current trim figure and her exercise will need to be kept consistent from day to day. Denali is a really special girl looking for a special family to adopt her and love her always!

Denali is currently in foster care.  Please call 403-932-2070 x113 to make an appointment to see her.

Hickory Labrador Retriever / Male / 2 years
Available
Hickory

What a handsome boy our Hickory is with his chestnut locks! Unbelievably, this great guy was found tied to a tree outside our Shelter but he is none the worse for wear following his ordeal. Hickory is a typical fun lab with boundless energy and a great outlook on life. He can be a little pushy and is lacking a bit in the manners department so would like to attend obedience classes with his new people and would prefer a home with older children. Hickory is a playful boy who seems to think he is still a puppy – perhaps we should have called him Peter Pan! He is affectionate and loves all the attention and pets he can get. Hickory is looking for a fun-loving and active home where he can spend time playing with his new forever family in the great outdoors!

Skeena came into us a little worse for wear but after some TLC from our hospital and animal care staff, she’s keen to start her new life in a loving house-hold. She has a bit of a crooked nose but rest-assured she hasn’t been in the ring with Mike Tyson! Skeena can be a little unsure of herself initially but quickly warms up. She is a sweet affectionate girl - in fact she’ll probably become a complete love bug with her new people! Skeena is good on leash and she is quickly learning how to behave like a polite young lady. She is pretty calm and mellow and would prefer a relaxing home away from young, loud children. Skeena is a real sweetheart patiently waiting for her forever family to come get her!

 

 
Tia and Tess Rottweiler X / Female / 5 years
Available

Tia

Tia

Tess

Tess

Tia and Tess are sisters who have spent their whole lives together so if possible, we would like them to be adopted together. They are both calm, gentle girls who are attentive to their handler. Tia and Tess are used to living outside but also love to be indoors around their people (and on their laps, given half the chance!) They have been known to do their Houdini impression so if left outside alone, these partners in crime might go for a little walkabout! Tia and Tess have good basic obedience but are big, strong girls so would prefer a home away from small children whom they would hate to bowl over accidently. These two are playful girls who love a good game of fetch or a nice cooling dip in the water. They are good with dogs and cats but have yet to encounter livestock. Tia and Tess are loving girls looking for a home where they can spend lots of time around their people as they love all the company they can get!

Howdy partners! This is our handsome lad Cowboy who came to us during Stampede. He’s done with his wrangling days and is now looking for a fun and active forever home. Cowboy is a super friendly guy once he gets to know you and loves to receive attention. He is always on the go and would enjoy attending classes with his new people to help focus him. As he has lots of energy to burn, Cowboy would enjoy a home where he can spend lots of time with his people in the great outdoors and would prefer a home with older children. He is a playful boy who will win the hearts of his new people when given the chance. Cowboy is looking to hang up his spurs and enjoy himself with a family who are able to provide love, exercise and consistency in his life.

 

 
Louis 2 Basset Hound / Male / 9 months
Available
Louis 2

Louis is our very own Hush Puppy although he could do with a bit more hushing sometimes! He is a typical Basset hound who has a big bark in a little body and may do the odd bit of snoring too! Although Louis is small, he is very strong so would probably do best on a harness and in a family with older children. He has already been to beginner’s obedience classes and we would encourage his new home to continue working him in obedience to keep him on the great learning path he's now on. Basset Hounds have their own little quirks so we are recommending Louis go to a home with breed knowledge and experience. He is an affectionate boy who likes to be with his people and he has a bit of a passion for stuffed animals. Louis has an excellent nose so once he scents his new forever family, he will be sure to want to follow you!

He is always on the go and would probably enjoy activities such as Agility and Rally O to keep him both mentally and physically active. Mountain Dew is great with other dogs but his herding instincts seem to take over with cats and he might even try herding small children!

Hero

Do you need a hero? Well look no further as we have just the guy for you! Our boy Hero is a very sweet and calm older gentleman.

Ringo American Pitbull Terrier X / Male / 1 year
Available
Ringo

Our Ringo is a real star and one of the fab (thirty) four dogs we have at the Shelter! He is a very friendly, gentle boy who loves attention and seems to do well with other dogs. Ringo is a happy-go-lucky boy who looks like he’s tap dancing when he’s excited! He is rather partial to his food and toys so would prefer a home with older children and people with breed knowledge. “Help!”, it’s been “A long & winding road” for Ringo, but “With a little help from his friends” at the Shelter, Ringo is well on his way to finding a new forever home. At the end of the day “All you need is love” and Ringo will provide his adopters with bucket loads of that!
