Description:

Minnie, named for being the runt of her litter, is now growing into a strong and independent puppy! While she’s not quite “Mini” anymore, she still carries that sweet, small-dog spirit. Minnie is a confident in her kennel and while she enjoys being in her crate, she is still working on perfecting her house training. She is very responsive to her name and can sit on command, though we’re currently working on teaching her to lay down. Minnie isn’t fond of being picked up, so a home without young children would be best. However, older, calm children who can respect her space would be a great fit.

Minnie enjoys socializing with other dogs, but like most pups, she would benefit from a gentle introduction. While she hasn’t been tested with cats, she’s generally calm and may adapt well to them.

Ideal Home:

Minnie would thrive in a quiet household with owners who are patient and can continue her training journey. She’s a low-maintenance pup in terms of crate time but will need a home where she can grow and learn at her own pace. An environment with older children or an adult-focused home would be perfect, especially one where she can get the love and attention she deserves without feeling overwhelmed.

Meet Mac!

*** Accepting Applications -Available 3/1/2025 after vetting including neuter***

About Mac:

Mac is a bundle of energy and joy! At just 11 weeks old, he’s full of curiosity and love. Mac is incredibly food-motivated, which makes training a fun challenge. He currently lives with two dogs, one large and one small, and is learning his boundaries with them. He’s also surrounded by 4 kids, and though he goes through typical puppy biting phases, he’s easy to redirect with food or toys.

Mac knows how to sit and responds well to his name, and we’re working on teaching him how to lay down and not jump up. He loves being around people and is the ultimate companion—he’ll follow you everywhere you go and will make sure you’re never alone. When he’s ready for a nap, he’s the most cuddly little guy, and nothing beats a cozy cuddle session with him.

Training Progress:

Working on crate training (he’s not fond of confinement yet, but he’s learning to associate the crate with treats and meals)

Potty training is in progress (he runs to the door when he needs to go outside but needs someone quick to catch him in the act)

Learning basic commands (sit, come, working on lay down)

Loves food, so he’s highly trainable with the right motivation

Ideal Home:

Mac would thrive in a home with someone who is patient and willing to continue his training and socialization. He loves to be near his people, so he would do best sleeping in a bedroom where he can be close to you. A family with other pets (dogs, especially) would be a great fit, as long as they are introduced properly. He will also do well with kids, as long as they’re prepared for his playful puppy nips.

Mac is a sweet, playful boy who will grow into a loving, loyal companion with a little patience and guidance. If you’re looking for a fun-loving puppy to bring into your family, Mac might just be the perfect match!

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

Hi let me introduce myself. My name is Marvin.. I had a pretty lonely and rough start to life but I’m learning that people are my favourite and they bring out the soft and goofy sides of me. I’m super smart and am eager to learn all the things I need to know to keep growing to be the best boy I can be. I love to be close to my people I will look to you for guidance as a navigate the world and will follow you anywhere you go so if you need a best friend who will be loyal and playful and join you on all of your adventures I am your guy. I am food motivated and so training me will be easy for you and yummy for me!! I could really benefit from some more training as well as more exposure to other dogs as I’m still somewhat unsure what to do and how to react when I meet them. I love walks and do really well on lead , I have lots of energy so keeping up to you won’t be a problem. I also love playing in the back yard with my foster sister and fetching my bouncy ball. Chewing on bones while I sit beside you or curl up on your feet is my favourite way to relax at the end of the day.
I’ve come really far in the short time I have been in care and hope you will have the time to help me keep growing and learning that the world is safe and I’m going to be safe by your side.. Although I love playing with my foster sister I may do best as the only pet to start, or with a dog savvy family who understands how to help me take the time needed to adjust to another dog. And did I mention I am fully house trained as well as crate trained? If I sound the the guy for you please fill out an application and the nice people who have helped me so much will be happy to help bring us together!

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.

Nova

Age: Approx 2 yrs ( as of fall 2024)

Gender: Female
Good with Dogs? Selective - proper intros
Good with Cats: No - high prey drive
Good with Kids: 12 yrs and up
Activity Level: High
Location: Edmonton

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!
