ADOPTABLE dOGS
**Please Note: We do not adopt out of the province of Alberta**
Doug - Accepting Applications
Name: Doug
Breed: Golden Retriever
DOB: October 5, 2018
Good with Cats: No
Good with Dogs: No
Good with Kids: Yes (*** Doug has lived with small children in his previous home and with a child in his current home (from newborn to 2.5 years old) but would do better in a home with older children due to his excitability and large size.)
Doug is a handsome, 90lbs, golden retriever who loves to be around his people. He was adopted by his current family in January of 2020 from his first home where he lived with his sister (littermate) for a time and then was brought to Paws in Need to be re-homed. He was fostered for a short period and ultimately his foster family made the decision to adopt him hoping that his relationship with their cat would improve. Despite their efforts they have not been able to have consistent interactions between him and their cat and neither of them seem to be living their best lives, both living on separate floors. This is the primary reason for seeking a new, more appropriate, home for Doug.
Doug has other special considerations that a family should know about prior to considering welcoming him into their home. Since his adoption, Doug has worked closely with a veterinary team to help transition him into his home as well as cope with some of his behaviors. Doug would bark and lunge toward other dogs and some people on-leash, this behaviour has improved through positive training methods. He has a weekly walk with a certified trainer and now rarely reacts to things in the environment. Doug is on twice daily medications to help him with these reactionary behaviours and some underlying arousal that occurs when he becomes excited or stressed. Doug is fearful of many aspects of veterinary visits so he does require additional medications prior to his appointments and he would require full sedation for physical examinations and nail trims. Fortunately, he has recently had a full physical exam with bloodwork and is healthy!
Doug is a very loving dog and deserves a home that can give him a lot of exercise, enrichment, attention and love in return. This is not an easy decision for his family and they would like to work closely with anyone considering adopting him to make sure he finds the best home.

Chloe & DoDger - Accepting APPLICATIONS ***Bonded Pair***
|
|
Names: Dodger (Left) & Chloe (Right)
Age: 10 years
Breed: Bichon
Sex: Neutered Male & Spayed Female
Good with kids? Yes
Good with cats: No (We have not lived with cats before so it would be difficult to learn how to live with one now)
Good with dogs: Some dogs (We are friends with a lot of dogs, but Chloe can get a bit bossy with some)
Rescue Story: Owner surrender due to moving out of province
Hey! We're Dodger & Chloe! We are looking for a furever home together because we have never been apart since birth. We are pretty active for senior dogs, so we're totally up for going on lots of walks, play time, and dancing! Yes, you read that right! DANCING! We both do a little cha cha move which you can see Dodger showing off in his picture. Dodger has been wearing a male wrap diaper while in the house to remind him to do his pee outside. This has been working super well so house training isn't as much of an issue. With use of the wrap, we both do our business outside.
We are snuggly, sweet, great for our grooming visits, and we have the best smiles to melt hearts for miles! The only thing missing is a family to call our own.
One important thing to know is that we do have allergies, so we want you to know that we are on a special diet currently. We eat raw chicken with veggies and rice with some supplements added to ensure we are getting enough nutrients. It was impossible to find a kibble from the vet clinic or the pet store that didn't have some of our major allergens in them. We love to eat, and our food is super yummy and keeps us from being so itchy so we love it!
If you think you might have room in your hearts and home for us both, please apply today. If you would only like one of us, unfortunately we would not be able to split up because we are a super bonded package deal.

SeLAH - ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
|
Name: Selah
Born: October, 2020 Breed: Cocker Spaniel X Sex: Female Spayed Rescue Story: Originally surrendered due to young children in the home. Selah is highly stressed by young kids. Good with kids? NO Good with cats? YES Good with dogs? YES Hi! I'm Selah, one of the smartest dogs you'll meet! I know so many tricks including "bang you're dead". It's really a great trick to show off at parties. I am working on my house training but with consistency, I do great. I am crate trained and am well behaved on walks. I am really hoping to find a home with a family who will engage my very smart brain, and understand that I have some anxiety and help me with that. I require regular grooming every 8 weeks, and for that I require some calming medication so that I don't get too stressed. I had cherry eye surgery done on my left eye and have recovered without issues. Now I'm all ready for adoption and can't wait to meet my furever family! |
