| 4 day foster |
| | Alexis |
|  |
| | 12 Years |
|
| | Alexis has come to be with us because her owner is in palliative care and no one in the family is willing to take her. She's the tiniest wee thing, used to sitting on laps and going for short walks. A quiet, loving little Toy Poodle who has adjusted to living here beautifully. She is kind to cats who are used to dogs, enjoys playing a bit with the other dogs and likes new people. She is into vet next week for an eye check as there is significant clouding in both her eyes. UPDATE: Her eyesight is unfortunately failing her, age related, but otherwise in great shape. She does need to have her ears cleaned regularly, potential low-grade allergies. | | |

| | Atticus |
|  |
| | 1.5 Years |
|
| | This young brindle and white Pittie X wandered into a housing complex on the north edge of High River and it would appear no one is looking for him. He's a happy fellow, though, and already playing with a number of other dogs. No work with cats as yet, and leashwork needs a bit of attention, but this clever fellow is so willing to learn so perfect time to teach! He's in to meet Dr. Brent for the big snip next week. UPDATE: No accidents, no chewing, good on leash, lots of dog-dog play, chase-y but overall playful with cats, crated fine and ate well beside the other dogs. I'd say Atty did very well in his Christmas foster! Now he needs a home of his own!! | | |

| | Bailey |
|  |
| | 6 Years |
|
| | This handsome but untrusting Catahoula was taken on an owner-surrender through Pawsitive Match, but due to his issues, we were asked to help work with him and give him a safe place to be. Larry Neilson from Konfident Kanines has done serious work with Bailey to build trust, positively redirect his dominance, trim him down with extensive exercise and begin the process of "fixing" Bailey's issues. We'll be looking for a very specific home for Bailey, one with no children, perhaps a female dog for him to bond with, but most importantly, a person(s) who has worked with aggression and the reasons behind it. Larry has offered to continue working with Bailey and his potential new owner at no charge, and truly believes Bailey could and will be an exceptional companion to the right person. UPDATE: Bailey sure has come a long way. He prefers women who are "mature" (hah), enjoys his girl-dog playtime, his cushy pillow and long walks. He still won't be a dog for young children, teenagers or a home with cats. | | |

| | Beep |
|  |
| | 9 Years |
|
| | Beep is some kind of Black Lab, maybe Heeler X who we first met years ago when she was owned by a local couple. They gave her away to someone in the City where she lived for 6 years until that person surrendered her to Calgary Humane. Unfortunately, Beep wasn't doing well in their environment and we were asked to give her a third chance ... so, a little fatter than when we knew her, but just as curious and sweet, Beep is now here. We'll work to trim her down and get her playing with the others. No cat work as yet. UPDATE: Beep's a bossy soul and likes to be the queen around the other dogs. She has also been very tolerant of our cats here but not impressed if they approach her around her food bowl. Leashwork is very much improved and she's been listening well and affectionate with all of us. Beep was recently in for x-rays at our local clinic which unfortunately showed 2 lesions on her spine. Prognosis is unknown at this point, and there are days when her mobility is "off". We're still hoping that in spite of her newly discovered health issues, someone will choose her to live out her life in a quiet and loving home. She deserves it! | | |

| | Bella Oldie |
|  |
| | 14 Years |
|
| | This sweet old Terrier has been asked to completely change her way of life in a 48 hour span. Her owner ill, Bella's care has fallen to us. She has weak kidneys and will require special diet and patience as she can't always quite make it outside. She's interested in sniffing every bit of the yards, sleeps soundly through the night, is eating quite well, kind to cats and tail wagging to meet the other dogs. She's still agile enough to jump into my truck, and enjoys leash walks. | | |
