Cochrane & Area Humane Society Meet your new best friend at the Cochrane & Area Humane Society! Dogs receive training and behaviour assistance to make them good canine citizens.
(25)

The Cochrane & Area Humane Society provides food, shelter, medical care and the opportunity for adoption for unwanted, surrendered, lost and unclaimed animals, while promoting responsible pet ownership through educational programs, rural spay/neuter programs and public fundraising events. At the Cochrane & Area Humane Society, homeless animals receive food, shelter, medical care, spay/neuter surge

ry, permanent identification and the chance for adoption into a new home. Lost pets are reunited with their guardians and the Society creates humane education programs to promote responsible pet guardianship. Children participate in Day Camps and victims of domestic violence are helped through the Pet Safe Program. Each year thousands of people call or come through our doors to surrender, adopt, claim lost pets, volunteer, seek advice, training or assistance, utilize our resource centre, attend humane education programs or make donations. We take in approximately 1,100 animals every year and are happy that we are able to successfully place or return home over 90% of them.

Hey there, my name is Honey but my close friends call me Hun Bun. My shelter aunties told me I had to write a dating profile, but let’s be honest… I’m really looking for a long term serious commitment. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m very sweet, very smart and a total looker! Although I’m a very active gal, I also enjoy curling up on the couch for a good ‘ol fashioned snuggle.

LIKES:

Food (lots of it, my friends tell me I’m a piggy)
Exercise (I have lots of energy and a healthy appetite, I want to keep my girlish figure)
Brain games (cause I’m so darn smart)
Boy dogs (they’re so much fun to play with!)
Training (did I mention how smart I am?)
Snuggles (who doesn’t love them?)
Belly rubs (preferably while snuggling!)
Squeaky toys!!
Kitty cats! For real! They make the nicest friends!

DISLIKES:

Diets (who invented those anyways?)
Girl dogs (we don’t always see eye to eye)
Strangers (it’s not that I don’t like them, I think everyone can be a friend but I do need proper introductions so I don’t feel worried)
When my squeaky toys stop squeaking

If I sound like I might be the gal for you, call me at 403-932-2072 and maybe we can meet up!

Our sweet girl Selena has been waiting for a home for so long now. 😢🏠

Selena arrived into our care back in February with her newborn puppies. They all found homes but Selena has been patiently waiting at the shelter ever since and we are really starting to see her decline in the shelter. 😔

She is an affectionate dog who loves to spend time with her people, and would be so happy to join an active family that would bring her along on outdoor adventures! Her ideal home might have a canine pal for her to play with, no cats, and kids that are a bit bigger. We know someone out there will give this deserving girl a chance! 🐾

Not able to adopt but interested in fostering Selena? Email [email protected].

For more information about adoption, visit the shelter or email [email protected].

German Shepherd lovers, we need you!

Kona is one of our longest shelter residents and has been in our care for just over a year. She is very shy when she meets new people, but once she knows you then she is a happy and affectionate girl! We would love to see this beautiful dog find her forever family, or foster placement. Please share to help Kona find a home! 🏠
