We are now accepting applications for Josh. He is neutered, recently groomed, up to date with vaccines and microchipped.

Josh is the sweetest little sheltie ever! He is 7 years old and is blind. He went blind suddenly late last year but he is learning to adapt to his new normal. Josh loves being outside listening to birds and the wind blowing. He is starting to venture out on walks but there are still a lot of noises that frighten him so the walks are limited for now. True to his breed Josh LOVES his food. He was crate trained but he has not used a crate since he came to us. He is reliable left alone in the house as long as he is in a space where he can explore without any danger and has access to his water.

***UPDATE on something Josh will need - for safety reasons, his new family will need to be able to pick him up and carry him on occasion. His is about 31 lb.

Josh has some very specific needs for his new forever home. He needs:
- a safe, secure environment with no access to stairs. A home with an open concept would suit him best.
- a yard that is fully fenced and free of obstacles that could prove harmful given his blindness.
- a quiet environment.
- a family that is patient and will give him time to adapt and feel confident.
- a family that is home most of the time.
- a predictable and consistent routine.

Not sure how Josh would tolerate it but goggles for outdoors might be beneficial. He bumps into things so this might be something to try for him.

Preference will be given to families in Alberta.

If you would like to be considered for Josh, let us know and we can send you an application. You can also download the application here: https://www.albertasheltierescue.ca/AdoptionProcess.htm

Sky had his vet visit with the amazing Jer at Airdrie Animal Health Centre. He will get his neuter done and we will look for a groomer to help him out. He has a lot matting and will need some gentle care. Overall he is doing amazing.

Sky did very well overnight and certainly has an appetite :). He is very timid but has found his 'safe' spot. Slowly he is engaging and joining us in the livingroom and kitchen.

Sky is 8 years old. We need to get him vetted and neutered and hopefully we can get this done quickly for him. We will also get him a day at the spa. Once we have this done we will ask for applications.

He is a flight risk so only quiet households with a fully fenced backyard will be considered for him.

He is fostered in the Calgary area.

Hi Everyone - I am Sky. Sorry for the quality of the photos. I am a bit shy right now as I settle into my new surroundings. I want to keep my distance but that might change at suppertime :)

Besides being very handsome, my foster mom says I am smart and very well behaved. She also said I am doing very well settling in and finding my place in a new pack of shelties.

I have a vet wellness check on Friday and let's see where we go from there.

Josh had his groom yesterday - thank you Sherri. He really looks amazing. It was a stressful day for him but he did very well.

He has an appointment with Alberta Veterinary Dentistry this week and following that visit we will make a plan for him.

Stay tuned.

We just had a visit with Josh today. He is doing so well - actually amazing. As many of you already know, Josh is blind. This brings a set of challenges for him but he is such a trooper and his foster home is providing the very best environment for him.

We are not ready to start accepting applications for Josh just yet but we will post here when the time is right.
