ASTRA

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Name: Astra
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 5 years
Dogs: Yes, please - MANDATORY
Cats: No
Kids: Yes, older

Hi there, I’m Astra, and I am roughly 5 years old according to the shelter, but my people feel I am a bit younger. I am here seeking a forever home with at least one established, same-size dog to keep me company and help me continue to learn to be a dog. I am a bit fearful, so I need people that are knowledgeable with umbilical training that will continue to help me overcome my fears.

I have only been here just over 2 weeks, and already I have come a long way! I no longer dive got my crate any chance I get to hide for hours on end to avoid dealing with daily life. While I will still go in the crate at times when I get over-stimulated, I don’t have an absolute fit if the door is closed and access is denied. I will instead seek the comfort of a dog bed as my own personal space. I am crate-trained and spend my nights in my crate. I am house-trained, however, I have had a couple of pee accidents. I am really well-trained to do my business as soon as I am outside - even on leash!

On a recent trip to Petsmart, I had such confidence in the store that I dragged my “anchor dog” around the store! When kids appeared, I did not shy too far away, but rather leaned upon my anchor-dog as a guide for what to do. Foster mom was really impressed with me in the store! I was so confident and curious! I am curious in the vehicle as well. My confidence lacks when I am in a house, and when I am in a kennel environment, I shut-down entirely and pancake to the floor.

I am terrified of stick-like objects or fast hand motions over top of me. I don’t know what happened in my past to cause this trauma-response, but it seems to be the stem of my house-hold fears. I recently went to Easter dinner with family, and it was a small house with a dozen people. It was overwhelming, but I did very well very quickly! I was ignored by the abundance of scary-people and I sat in a quiter corner with foster mom. A couple people tried to share pieces of their meals with me, but I am not huge on taking treats from anyone. I am actually a very picky eater. I prefer to eat overnight in my crate with the door closed and the room empty. I need to feel safe and secure to eat! I have begun indulging in raw meat dinners, and eat them much quicker at the scheduled time with everyone else.

I met cats and birds at the pet store, and I can say with confidence that I cannot live in a home with these smaller creatures! I should be good with kids past the loud and unpredictable toddler-stage. Also kids that are stable on their feet, as when I spook, I zoom right by with speed and could knock little ones down easily. I also need a family that is diligent with ensuring doors are closed and secured as I am a flight risk. I wear a leash at all times inside and outside to maximize my rehabilitation and minimize my escape-risk. I very much barge in and out of doors! I am excited to go outside and also to come inside!

If you can offer me a stable environment without too much commotion at first, and have experience with fearful dogs, I will be the best companion ever! Once I am comfortable, I offer belly rubs! While I do not yet know basic commands, I will get there once comfortable! I even play and talk when I am comfortable! Adopt me now and reap the rewards and satisfaction of seeing me come out of my shell!

I am spayed, up to date on all of my vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

BELLE

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION/FOSTER

Name: Belle

Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female

Age: 4.5 years
Dogs: Yes
Cats: No
Kids: Yes

Hi, I’m Belle �� — your quiet little shadow with a heart full of love (and a talent for surprise kisses).

I came into foster care with my packmate, Blue, and now I’m ready to find a home where I can stay close to my person — always. Because that’s my favourite place to be… right by your side. It would be ideal if I could stay with Blue, but if there are other dogs in the home, we can learn to be apart and bond to other dogs. I think we would be anxious and destructive as single pets due to boredom.

I’m a super sweet, gentle, and quiet girl who doesn’t ask for much — just your company, your love, and all the belly rubs you’re willing to give. Seriously… belly rubs are the best thing ever. I do well in the car as well, so I would love to accompany you on adventures!

I’ll happily follow you from room to room, just keeping you company and making sure you’re never alone. And if you sit still for even a second? That’s my cue to sneak in and “clean” your face — I’m what they call an opportunistic kisser. I could be described as a velcro-dog.

I walk nicely on leash and come when you call my name (yes, I’m a good girl like that!). I’m also working on my basic commands, and I’ll need someone who’s willing to keep helping me learn and grow.

Now… full honesty moment: I’ve got a bit of a clever streak. I’m what you might call an escape artist. That means I’ll need a very secure fenced yard and a home that’s mindful about doors and gates. Think of me as smart, curious… and just a little too good at figuring things out. I can open doors, so a deadbolt lock and round door knobs is ideal!

With the right setup and someone who understands me, I’ll be the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for. I am house trained, but am not crate trained. I have no met cats, and given my breed, it is best to avoid them.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate best friend who will adore you, follow you, and keep you smiling every day… I think we should meet.

I am spayed, up to date on my rabies vaccination and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you immediately!

DAISY

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Daisy
Breed: Alaskan Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 6 years old
Cats: No
Dogs :No
Kids: Yes,older -see description

Hi there! I'm Daisy and I am here seeking another forever home through no fault of my own. My adoptive momma has run into some serious health issues that make her unable to care for me in the same capacity. I am in urgent need of a new placement. I am just a tiny little girl aroun 15kg, so I can fit in just about any type of dwelling.

My current home has kids. My buddies are 11 &12 yrs old, 23 & 25yrs old and they are
awesome. I love them so much. The boys give a great throw for fetch, which is my favorite thing to
do, and I bring it right back for more and more and more. The girls however steal my heart with lots of pets and scratches and snuggles. They even let me sleep with them sometimes!!! But, I am also comfortable curling up on my bed for sweet dreams. I do have a bite history, please don't fear or judge me. My family has a GIANT puppy and she scares me. No joke, she's giant! They tell me she is very sweet but I'm ok being separate from her. She's a lot of puppy! So, my bite... well it was day 2 or 3 of my new home and I was still really stressed from the shelter I came from. My 12yr old buddy and l just went for a walk, and once inside, he bent to unclip the leash just as the giant puppy barked and it really scared me and I reacted, and I bit my buddy .I didn't mean to, and I’ve never done it again. My buddy though, he's a cool kid, he understood what happened and forgave me, and still really loves me! My Mom did a great job explaining why I did that and we were more cautious until l settled in and de-stressed.

I am very respectful of my humans home, and I'm very quiet when no one is home. I'm a pretty quiet gal unless you want to share stories with me, then I can be chatty or if you separate me from everyone; it makes me sad because l just want to be with and around everyone. That makes me very happy!

I am fully trained to use the outside bathroom, but I have been known to mark if there is another dog in the home. I am also very dominant so it is best to have a home with no other dogs. I don't like to share my humans attention, I would like you all to myself. I have never been cat tested, but I have a very high prey drive with squirrels and bunnies outside so it wouldn't be a good idea to have me with cats or small animals. I did eventually learn to co-habit with the giant puppy, so I could, potentially, in time, accept another dog into the home if that is something that is desired and my new person is experienced with integration.

I know my basic commands; sit, stay, lay down and come. I love to perform for treats and would love to learn some tricks! I'm such a smart girl! l love going for walks with my humans and I'm working on better leash manners. My sniffer tends to get the best of me and I pull for a bit, but once I'm satisfied ,I relax to a nice walk beside my human. The neighbourhood kids love me! They always come and ask to pet me, they let me sniff their hand and when I give the ok, I soak up all the lovin'!! I'm still very uncertain of other dogs, I can be reactive; barking or lunging or even cowering. So it's best to keep them away from me or allow for a very calm, slow approach.

I would prefer a home with a fully fenced yard to run free, but I'm ok with a lead and tie out, as that's what I have at my home. It's ok, because we go for lots of walks to release my energy! I am a typical husky, so even though I come when my name is called, I wouldn't trust me off-leash and uncontained. You never know what that sniffer will pick up !I have not shown any resource guarding either, and I love to share my toys so you can throw them for me to fetch. Tug of War is nice but not my favorite. My Mom puts carrots and apples in with my kibble while l eat, and I'm ok with her hand in my food.

What else can I say? I'm very sweet, very happy, love attention and affection and curling up beside you on the couch. I love your smell, so I may rub my head on you. There's that sniffer again! Oh, and I don't like the vacuum .How could I forget!! It's a monster that makes me run away from it, it's loud and I swear it wants to eat me ,it makes things go missing!

l am spayed and microchipped.I am ready to go home immediately!

KISKA

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Kiska
Breed: Husky x Malamute
Sex: Female
Age: 11years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No

Well, hello! My name is Kiska, and I am a gorgeous Husky Malamute mix. I was born on March 11, 2015. I am here seeking an experienced, quiet home for my golden years. Please read thoroughly, and consider giving me a chance!

I am an absolute sweetheart and dote on my chosen person! Once I form a bond with you, I love you dearly and will come to you for reassurance when things get scary. I am, however, visually impaired, and as such, I do not greet humans well at first. I can be downright scary upon first greeting. But, if you respect my space, I will come around to you. Upon first greeting, it can just be a low growl, or it can be a full out teeth out lunge. I promise though, I am not mean by nature. I am just scared as I cannot see that well. Foster mom will help you and I get along, but you’ll need to be willing to travel to me several times to help us get used to each other in my environment.

I did live in a home with a toddler before my surrender 4 years ago, and unfortunately, I bit the child several times as children cannot respect or understand warning signs, and are too high energy for my preferences. I like a low-key environment, and love to be indoors. I would be great for a single person or quiet home-body couple! I am house and crate trained. I like to go on walks and do very well on a training collar, but I pull without it. I am muzzled for walks due to my visual impairment and insecurities, for everyone’s safety. I will return to your side on command when in a crowd, as I know where you are.

I am not a fan of other dogs or cats and need to be the only pampered princess in my home. I can interact with some other dogs on walks since I am muzzled, but I would not trust my interactions not muzzled as I previously lived with 2 other dogs for a couple of months and it didn’t go well. I do very well at adoption events though, because I go with foster mom. I have even been handed off at events for walks with strangers and done pretty well overall!

I am a huge foodie and dive into my dinner and like my treats. I do have resource guarding, so it is best to respect my space for the 30 seconds that I am eating, and whenever I have a high-value item. I can usually be redirected off of something, but it needs to be even more smelly and valuable than what I have.

If you are a patient, understanding, and experienced person that is willing to give me a chance through my initial hurdles and maintain a quiet, calm environment for my golden years, you will NOT regret adopting me - I promise! I am absolutely lovely and loving once I know and trust you! Foster mom cannot say it enough that I have been very misunderstood and overlooked for the last 4 years, and it makes her very sad that no one is willing to give me a chance! I am willing to give you a chance!

I am microchipped. I am not spayed, and will be adopted on a strict non-breeding contract given my age.

MIKA

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Mika
Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 6.5 Years
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Maybe - see description
Kids: No

Hello Everyone! My name is Mika, and I am back through no fault of my own. I was originally adopted in 2021, and am now roughly 6.5 years old. I am not overly energetic, so can fit into any activity level experienced home. I have even lived in an apartment, so I can live in any type of home as well!

I am a calm and passive girl, however, I do have an extensive bite history in the past. I went through several homes before I was surrendered to the shelter, and bit in each one of these homes. Most of my bites stem around restraint/rough handling; especially around my neck. I have grumbled at my foster mom over leashing/unleashing, but have not bitten her as of yet in the last year! While I have gotten a lot better about it, the risk is still there, so I need someone experienced please!

I get along great with other dogs and am very submissive with them. If someone tries to take my food, I will pretty much just walk away. This is not ideal as I need to gain a bit of weight, and my sister, Bailey, is very dominant and takes my dinner from me. I do enjoy being with her, just not at meal times. I would be totally fine being in a home without her!

I was living with a cat in my previous adoptive home, however, I am favoring chasing the cats in my current foster home. It doesn’t appear that I want to harm them, so I might be able to live with a cat as long as there is constant supervision or separation. Please, absolutely no children due to my extensive bite history.

Despite living in an apartment, it appears I am not house trained. It shouldn’t take much to train me, though, once I am settled in and comfortable with yard access or lots of walks. I am not crate trained, but am not destructive left alone in the house. I have no escape desire through or over a fence, either, which is a big bonus. I would take the opportunity through an open door, though.

I would do very well as a single pet if so desired. A submissive dog without resource guarding would also be a good placement for me as well. If I am adopted with Bailey, then we need to be the only 2 pets in the home as Bailey is too dominant with other dogs to live amicably. It took our adopter a lot of work to get us to live together.

I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

MOOMOO

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Name: Moomoo
Breed: Pomeranian/Husky X
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Dogs: Yes, please - MANDATORY
Cats: Maybe, see description
Kids: Yes

Hi there, I’m Moomoo. I was found as a stray and my owners decided they no longer wanted me. I am told I am an escape artist. I am here seeking a home that will help me lose my apprehension towards adults. Having another dog in the home that I can learn from is so helpful to helping me coming out of my shell.

Even so, I have never growled or shown any aggression towards anyone. I am the sweetest girl you‘ll ever find, who with the help of my foster brother (Husky/Shepherd X) and foster mom is learning that big humans don’t need to be feared. I love the outdoors, going on walks and do best with the leash clipped to the harness at my chest. Otherwise I pull, as I just want to move and sniff in all the different smells that we encounter. I love dogs of all sizes and can get a bit crazy with trying to love up on them. Not every dog appreciates this behaviour, and for my own safety should be closely watched and if needed pulled back as I don‘t understand that some dogs can get grumpy.

In the house I won‘t walk on hardwood or laminate flooring as that scares me and I‘m slipping and sliding so my foster mom put throw rugs down and now I can engage in playtime with my foster brother and I feel safe going back and forth from the front door to my crate in the dining room. My adopter needs to be willing to cover slippery flooring, or have a carpetted home.

I am housetrained, crate trained and sleep through the night or when my foster mom isn‘t home during the day. We are working on basic commands like ‚come‘, ‚sit‘, and ‚stay‘.
Outside I have a tether, and on walks we use a metal leash, and a regular leash which I have been chewing on. If I had a fenced yard, I would need to drag a chew-proof leash until established and comfortable.

I have been around toddlers in my foster moms daycare and love kids of any size. I am apprehensive of approaching cats, so I may be able to live with cats since I am not trying to chase any. However, as always, cats should be with caution and with careful introductions. I travel well in vehicles!

I am up to date on my rabies and dhpp vaccinations and microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding contract as I had a bad reaction to anaesthetic during my spay procedure and it was deemed unsafe to proceed by the veterinarian. I do also have a heart murmur, making surgery even more risky. My adoption fee has been reduced due to the inability to be spayed at this time. I do also have an umbilical hernia, but it doesn’t cause any issues.

PIPER

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER/ADOPTION

Name: Piper
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 5-6 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: Yes

Well, hello! My name is Piper and I am here seeking an active forever home through no fault of my own. My loving foster family adopted me a few years ago, and have tried to make it work postpartum, but the new human is severely allergic to me and not getting better with time I am a good girl!

I absolutely love humans of all sizes and like to give kisses. I am also good for grooming, and travel very well! I have had many transporters over the years as I board at the rescue when my people are away. This time, however, I will not be returning home to my loving family. I will adjust, but please be prepared for a few expected hurdles with the change in environment. In the home, I am said to be very well-behaved and calm. I don’t get into any trouble. However, someone is always home. In boarding, I am very anxious and loud, and don’t want to be outside in the yard for very long at all! I prefer to be in the company of humans inside!

I am not a fan of other dogs or cats at all and need to be the only pampered princess in my home. I lived with a very young child and do very well, so kids of any age are great! I am very tidy in the house, fully house-trained, but am not crate trained. I am also not used to being alone, so there would be a transitionary period and crate-training needed in my future.

I am a huge foodie and dive into my dinner and like my treats. I do not have resource guarding, and I respect the counter-top food. I dive into my dinner and eat extremely fast though! I use a slow-feeder bowl to help with this. I am a tiny bit on the chunky side, but we are working on that. I would really benefit from a structured routine with mind games, physical exercise, and a focus on calming anxiety down.

If you are dedicated, experienced, and active, I would absolutely love to go home with you! I am urgently seeking a home environment sooner than later as I am stressed when in boarding and more relaxed when at home. I need someone that is strong as I will pull hard on the leash when there is a passing dog that I do not like. A trainer that can help me learn to sit and de-escalate on walks would be a great idea as well.

I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you immediately!
