Meet Roo!

Female • Pitbull X Catahoula • 5.5 months

Roo is as full of life as she is adorable. This energetic girl contains all the facets of fun. She enjoys learning new commands, roughhousing with friends, exploring outside, and playing with every toy in sight. If there is something to do or enjoy, Roo is first in line to join!

Along with all the playing and puppy excitement, Roo never turns down the chance to catch some rest - preferably while cuddling with a human or dog companion. As most puppies, this ball of energy needs lots of time and opportunity to spend being active. Roo is very smart and looks to impress with quickly learned skills. So, a home with plenty of patience and commitment to dedicate efforts toward puppy training is a must.

While Roo can be people shy to begin with, it doesn’t take her long to warm up and become friends with new humans. She adores all dogs and wants nothing more than to include them in all her activities. She is good with cats, but can let the excitement get the better of her and chase them. However, with time and gentle corrections, she would be fine in a home with cats.

Roo so deserves a family all her own where she is cherished beyond measure. This smart, loving, silly, and fierce little lady will make her forever home truly wealthy with her unconditional love. She had a tough start and we want to make absolutely sure that her future is perfect.

Her adoption fee is $475. As with all dog adoptions, the cost covers the alteration, a microchip, first full round of vaccinations, internal/ external parasite preventatives, and a veterinary health check.

🐾 To apply, email us at [email protected] or message us here.

Happy Monday! We will be spotlighting a cat each week who is desperate to find their forever home. The feature cat will also be available with 10% off of their adoption fee while featured. 🐾

To start off the year, here is Tigger! This big guy came to us as a stray, but is now completely on board with the cushy life. All Tigger wants is affection from people and to play with every toy in the shelter. He would be amazing for someone looking to find the best cuddle buddy and loyal companion. Tigger is okay with most cats, but would likely prefer to have all the attention just for himself. If you want to meet this handsome boy and be overtaken by his beautiful green eyes, visit during our open hours this week!

Lizzie and her adorable babies, Leo, Loki, Lucy, and Luigi, are reminding everyone that we are back open tomorrow! Come see the cats from 12pm until 3pm.

Thank you to Krystina Lynn Photography for another amazing Santa Photos session! 🎅🏻
She generously donates her time to drive to town, take all of the adorable photos of the pets, and edit each shot to perfectly present to the owners. Krystina always manages to sneak in time for our shelter animals to get their turn with Santa as well. We are so grateful to Krystina for making this event possible. ❤️

For everyone who came down and supported us this year, thank you so much! Your pictures have all been sent out. If you do not have them, please check your junk folders.

Thank you to Cooperative K9 Training Academy for donating this time to Scoob! 🐾

LIVE @ 11 am with Scoob🐾

Scoob is adoptable, and coming for some fun and learning!

I have been offering my services free to rescues for over 14 years.

My hope is that I can keep on doing that for many more years to come.

However, maintaining the equipment, and facility to be able to offer this opportunity to rescue dogs like Scoob, comes at a high cost. I only have so many hours I can take away from my family to work and so…

Our Rescue support program starts now!!

It’s simple, I am opening up the opportunity for you to support us, to keep our services free for rescue pups like Scoob.

If you like this video, and the work we offer to rescue dogs, you can help us keep this service free by:

1). Loving/ Sharing/ commenting (this helps more than you realize!)

2) If you feel called to do so, donating $1, $2, or maybe $5 will help us keep these sessions free of charge to local rescues.

We thank you for helping us, help dogs, like Scoob!

Scoob is available through Cause For Critters in Drayton Valley💕

No one deserves this time more than rescue dogs, and your support will mean so much to them, and to us.
