Adoptable DOGS

Hannah Montana

Age: Approx 1 yr
Breed: Bully mix?
Gender:Female
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes
Activity Level: Medium
Location: Sturgeon County

History : Hannah Montana was an outdoor dog the majority of time. She came from a community where her owner passed away, the house was boarded up and she was left on her own after having her second litter of puppies.

Hannah Montana is a sweet, energetic young dog who has had a challenging start to life, never getting the chance to truly experience her puppy years. Despite that, she is full of love, energy, and a need for plenty of attention. By the time she was just one year old, she had already had two litters of puppies, so she missed out on the typical playful and carefree puppy moments. Now, she’s ready for a life full of fun, love, and adventure!

Hannah is very energetic and requires lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep her happy. She thrives on attention and can be quite vocal when she feels she isn’t getting enough love or playtime. While she’s still learning how to be a “grown-up” dog, she is always eager to please and responds well to positive reinforcement and affection.

She is very friendly, especially with children, though her big paws and playful nature can be overwhelming for young ones at times. Hannah does well with strangers and is quick to warm up once she realizes they mean no harm. However, loud noises and certain objects, like brooms or big sticks, tend to frighten her, and she’ll seek comfort from her humans when she’s scared.

Currently fostered on an unfenced acreage, Hannah enjoys outdoor time but should never be left outside unsupervised. She needs space to run and play, but more importantly, she craves interaction and companionship. When left alone, she can become destructive and may chew on shoes, toys, or even her bed if she’s bored or anxious. In her crate, she feels safest when a blanket is draped over it, allowing her to feel secure while still being able to see outside.

Hannah does not have food aggression and is generally gentle when taking food from hands. She enjoys mealtime but can get nervous when her bowl is empty, so it’s important to keep her feeling content with a full bowl. Though she loves being outside, she’s not suited for extremely cold weather and isn’t an outdoor dog.

Overall, Hannah is an intelligent, loving, and playful dog who needs a family that can provide her with the attention, exercise, and reassurance she craves. She will thrive in a home where she is given plenty of love, structure, and positive reinforcement, and she’ll reward her family with unconditional affection. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will keep you on your toes, Hannah Montana could be the perfect addition to your home

Meet Marvin!

Marvin’s journey has been a bit rough at the start, but with a heart full of love and a mind eager to learn, he’s becoming the best boy he can be! Marvin is a smart, loyal, and playful pup who is looking for a family to continue guiding him through life’s adventures. He’s a quick learner and is food-motivated, which makes training a breeze (and extra yummy for him!).

Marvin thrives on human companionship and loves being close to his people. He is ready to follow you anywhere—whether it’s on a walk, a playdate, or just chilling by your side. Marvin’s perfect day includes a fun play session with his foster sister in the yard, fetching his bouncy ball, and winding down with a tasty bone while curled up by your feet.

Here’s what Marvin needs to continue growing:

* Training: Marvin is eager to please, and a little more training will help him build confidence and reinforce his good behaviors.

* Socialization: While he enjoys the company of the other dogs in his foster home, Marvin is still learning how to interact with others He may do best as the only pet or with a dog-savvy family that can help him adjust gradually.

* Exercise: Marvin has lots of energy and loves his walks. He does well on a leash and will happily keep up with you. He’s also a fan of playtime in the backyard and loves to fetch.

* A Safe and Loving Home: Marvin is house-trained and crate-trained, so he’s already a great house guest. He’s looking for a family that will continue to build his confidence, provide structure, and offer lots of love and attention.

If Marvin sounds like the perfect companion for you, fill out an application and let the team that’s been helping him find his forever family assist in bringing you two together!

Hunter

Age: 4 1/2 months ( as of Dec 31, 2024)
Breed: Shepherd mix
Gender:Male
Good with Dogs? Yes. Hunter loves to play with other dogs; chase and face-wrestling are his favourite games. He also likes to sleep cuddled with other dogs.
Good with Cats: No. Hunter should not be in a home with cats.
Good with Kids: Hunter is young but very tall, and likes to jump and play. He could accidentally scratch or knock over a smaller child or someone with unsteady balance. So supervision is important
Activity Level: Puppy
Location: Edmonton

History : Hunter came into care with 19 other pups from a community we work with. He has been with his first foster for 2 months; sadly, because of her health, she is no longer able to care for him.

Meet Hunter – A Sweet and Playful Pup Ready for His Forever Active Home!
Hunter is a fun-loving, energetic puppy with a heart full of affection. He’s still learning the ropes of the world, and with the right guidance, he’ll make a wonderful companion. Here’s a little about him:
Leash Training & Walks: Hunter is fantastic on a leash indoors and has been practicing leash manners. Although he hasn’t had many walks yet due to his foster’s health, he’s ready to learn and enjoy outdoor adventures! He would love to join an active family who will take him on walks, hikes, and playtime outside.
Separation Anxiety & Crate Training: Hunter does experience some separation anxiety and isn’t a fan of being crated for long periods. He’ll go into the crate without trouble but can get upset once the door is closed. Because he’s still teething and a bit clumsy, he should be crated when left alone to keep him safe. As he grows and matures, we’re hopeful he’ll become more comfortable with his crate.
House Training Progress: Hunter is doing great with pooping outside, though he still needs to work on alerting his people when he needs to go out. He’s a busy little explorer and is often too preoccupied with playing and discovering new things to remember to ask for a bathroom break. He’s making progress every day!
Personality & Behavior: Hunter is a people-oriented pup who loves to greet visitors with enthusiasm. He’s been learning not to jump on people when he’s excited and has already mastered the command “off.” He also understands “gentle”—when playtime gets a bit rough, he’ll come over, sit, and offer a sweet lick or a kiss. He’s a total sweetheart!
Ideal Home: Hunter needs an active, engaging home where he can burn off his energy and get the exercise and stimulation he craves. He loves playing with other dogs and would do well in a home where he can get plenty of outdoor time and mental challenges. He’s still a puppy and needs structure, patience, and lots of love. A family that enjoys being active, whether it’s taking walks, running, or playing fetch, would be the perfect fit for this energetic boy.
Hunter is ready to find his forever family—could that be you?

Quinn isn’t a super cuddly dog at least not yet but she loves pets and being told she’s a sweet girl.

She’s learning commands (she’s a quick learner!)

Meet Tucker!

Hi, I’m Tucker! I’ve been living in my foster home for the past approx 2 1/2 months, and I’m learning new things every day. My foster dad lets me sleep in bed with him, but I’m also kennel trained and do just fine in there.

Walks are a new adventure for me! I had to wait until I was vaccinated, but now that I’m all set, I can’t get enough. I do tend to tangle in my foster dad’s legs sometimes, but I’m getting better at it with each walk. I just love getting out and about!

I’m a bit shy when I first meet new people or pups, but once I warm up, I’m all about cuddles and affection. I love being close to my humans and my fur foster siblings. If you give me hugs, I’ll love you forever!

If you think you could open your heart and home to a sweet guy like me, please apply today! I’m ready to be your loyal companion and cuddle buddy.

Birdie

Age: Approx over a year ( As of Nov, 2024)
Breed: Mostly German Shepherd
Gender:Female
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats: Chases them, (maybe a dog savvy cat)
Good with Kids: Yes
Activity Level: High
Location: Edmonton

History: Birdie & her sister were found in a box in the bush as very young puppies. Birdie was previously adopted and returned as she was too high energy for the adopters. While in her adoptive home she was clipped by a car but is completely healed up now. She does though now have a bit of fear with cars driving by but is getting much better.

Meet Birdie: Your Future Best Friend!

Hello, I’m Birdie! Did you know I’m still on the lookout for a forever home? I’ve had quite the adventure these past few months, but I’m feeling happy, healthy, and ready to start the next chapter of my journey with YOU!

I’d love to have a furry friend to share my days with—someone to play, go on walks, and snuggle with. I do love my people dearly, but I may need a little time to warm up to new humans. Once I trust you, I’m all in for affection and companionship!

Here’s a little about me:

* I’m fully house and crate trained and walk nicely on a harness.

* I’m great at playing with other dogs—whether it’s chasing a ball or sharing a backyard, I get along well!

* For a young pup, my recall is pretty spot on, though I do get distracted by squirrels and the occasional bird (I can’t help myself, they’re just so interesting!).

* After my daily walk, I’m content to rest and nap, or I’ll lounge in the backyard, soaking up the sunshine.

Now, about our walks—I’m making great progress but I’ll need a bit of patience. Fast-moving cars can still make me nervous, and sometimes I bark when I see other dogs because I’m just so excited to say hello! But don’t worry—I’m improving every day. Plus, I love car rides and am easily persuaded with tasty treats!

Are you the one I’ve been waiting for? I can’t wait to meet you and start our adventures together!

Meet Chevy: The Big, Sweet Boy Who Needs a Job!

Chevy is an approximately 1-year-old, 83-pound bundle of love and energy. With herding and working breeds in his background, this big boy is still growing and full of life. As a puppy at heart, he’s got plenty of spunk and enthusiasm, and he’ll need an active home with a strong leader to help channel all that energy.

What Chevy Needs:

Chevy thrives in a busy, active environment. He’d be an ideal companion for a family with an acreage or space to run, or even a family who loves hiking, camping, and outdoor adventures. He is high-energy and very much in need of a job to do—whether it’s running, hiking, or even herding (yes, he wants to herd everything from humans to dogs to bikes!). With his high prey drive, he is always ready for action and enjoys running for hours. Daily walks (we do a minimum of 2 hours a day) and a lot of physical exercise are essential for his well-being.

His Personality:

While Chevy is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves snuggling up with his humans, he’s also strong-willed and a bit stubborn—traits common in his breed mix. He thrives with a strong, confident leader who can help provide structure and guidance. He has been doing well with leash training (and we’ve worked hard on his manners!), and his recall has improved significantly, though he still requires some work.

Chevy is friendly with other dogs and has only shown submissive behavior, making him an excellent companion for other pets. He loves being around people and will often think he’s a lap dog despite his size—yes, he genuinely believes he’s a Chihuahua at heart! He’s a super sweet boy who is eager to please and loves being part of the family.

What Chevy Will Bring to Your Home:

In the right home, Chevy will be an amazing addition. He’s a smart, loving, and energetic boy who is eager to learn and be part of an active family. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a camping companion, or just a dog to share your life with, Chevy will be there every step of the way. He’s a headstrong, but affectionate boy who just wants to be loved and appreciated for who he is.

If you’re ready to take on the challenge of an active, high-energy pup who loves hard and works hard, Chevy could be the perfect fit for you. We know this foster mom is pretty head over heels for this sweet heeler, and we’re confident that in the right home, he will thrive.

Activity Level: High

Meet Nova

Hi there! My name is Nova, and I’m an energetic, intelligent pup with a heart full of love. I’m currently working on a few new skills, but I already know how to “Sit,” “Shake a Paw,” “Down,” “Bow,” and I’m learning how to “Turn Around.” I’m also practicing “Come Here,” “Stay,” and “Heel.” I’m a quick learner, but because of my high energy, I need to stay mentally and physically engaged to keep my mind sharp and my body active. Without the right stimulation, I might find my own creative ways to entertain myself—and some of those might not be the best choices!

I’m good on a leash and enjoy walking, though I can get a bit distracted by all the exciting things out there—especially squirrels and rabbits! They just look so fun to chase. I love meeting new people, but I can be a little distrustful at first. I need to be introduced slowly and calmly so I can feel safe and comfortable. I do have some leash reactivity and can get scared or overwhelmed in certain situations, especially with other dogs. I’m working hard on it, and I’d love to find a person or family who can help me continue my training and give me the positive reinforcement I need to build confidence and make good decisions.

If you’re patient, understanding, and ready to help me grow, I’d love to meet you! I’m looking for someone who can provide me with structure, support, and lots of love.

History: Jasper came from a community that HLH works with. He’s thriving in his foster home and ready to find his forever family!

About Jasper:I am a sweet boy with lots of love to give! I’m a friendly giant who enjoys meeting new friends—both human and dog. I’m still learning to walk well on a leash, but I’m making great progress! I know a few commands like “sit” and “shake a paw,” and I’m always eager to show off what I know.

One of my favorite activities is playing with my human and doggy pals, especially if there’s water involved. I love to run around the yard playing chase, throwing or ripping apart squeaky toys or stuffies. When I’m not being active, you can find me lazing around, soaking up belly rubs.

I’m 100% house trained, and I’m comfortable using a crate when my foster mom is away. I’m a happy, playful guy looking for a family who will love me as much as I love them!
