Nyx (FOSTER NEEDED, EDMONTON, AB) - Nyx has been at a boarding kennel for weeks and really needs a foster home of her own!

Nyx is a beautiful, blue and tan, 70 lbs, spayed female Doberman. She was used for breeding until she came to us a couple years ago and was recently returned due to separation anxiety (she did not show any separation anxiety when housed with another dog). She loves to go for car rides and is great in a vehicle. She also loves going on long hikes and has perfect recall. She has shown some leash reactivity to other dogs in one of her previous homes, but we have not seen this. She LOVES kids and she also LOVES playing fetch. She is happy to go outside to do her business and has never had an accident in the house. One of her previous owners said she has a decent prey drive so likely shouldn't go to a home with small dogs or cats, but she did stay with a pug when she first came into care.

Nyx is happy to snuggle up and watch movies for hours. She does have some pretty extreme separation anxiety if she is the only dog in the home, so we recommend that she go to a home with an easygoing, large male dog. If she is left home completely alone, she must be crated in a solid kennel (no wire crates). She should also not be left alone in a vehicle or she will be destructive. With that said, Nyx really loves her toys and can be a bit guardy of them (with other dogs only, she has never shown aggression to humans). She does get nervous around new dogs and takes a while to warm up. She needs an experienced owner who is comfortable with reading dog body language and managing dog-dog interactions.

Nyx does not like cold weather. She will still go outside to do her thing, but she watches to make sure someone is waiting for her by the door. She will destroy any dog toy in record time. She refuses to go near the basement or down stairs. Nyx is protective of her people and her home.

Nyx has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $500. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods including, but not limited to, leash corrections; pinning; alpha rolls; and prong, pinch, choke, shock, or e-collars. Apply to adopt Nyx by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/.

We had the pleasure of visiting the gravesite of this horror movie legend while we were in Los Angeles fetching Rusty. Did you know he was also a Dobe lover?

08/29/2024

Rusty has arrived safe and sound in Edmonton and is settling in at his foster home! This boy had a rough go as he was seized for neglect in San Diego, is covered in scars, and flinches at fast movements. But he is sweet as can be. He is 6 years old and will be available for adoption soon!

08/28/2024

We’re finally leaving Vancouver! Rusty had a nice stay in a hotel and will be an Albertan soon. 🤣

Air Canada didn’t book us enough time between connecting flights so we are stuck in Vancouver overnight. ☹️

Poor Nyx got in a scrap with her foster-fur brother (no injuries) and needs to go to a boarding kennel until we find her a new foster home. It’s a double-edged sword as being with another dog negates her separation anxiety, but we’re not 100% sure what started the fight. She can be fostered with a large breed male dog as long as the owner is experienced, good at reading body language, and can stop issues before they start. Must also be comfortable using a muzzle if necessary. If there is no other dog in the home, we will send her with an aluminum crate that she must be left in when alone. Would prefer someone who does not work full days outside of the home. Nyx loves kids and will play fetch until the end of time. Located in Edmonton area.

Confused as to why the pets had stopped just to have a rectangle box pointed at him. Don't worry, he solved it by knocking it out of the hands.

📍Calgary - Bruno 3yo still looking for his loving forever home, preferably as the only pet(no cats or male dogs).

Bruno is extremely goofy, entertaining, funny, will protect you with his life, loyal, so loving, LOVES pets, low-med energy, loves his crate, potty trained, non destructive.
Learning to be patient, sharing with other dogs and calm on-leash.
Will learn anything for treats and pets. Bonus: he's absolutely gorgeous.
He just needs and deserves a chance.

A huge thank you to Paws A While Boarding Kennel who made a spot available for our girl, Nyx, this weekend!

07/31/2024

We really need a foster for Nyx from tomorrow night until Monday or Tuesday. Her owner needs to surrender her back to us and is going out of town for work on Friday. Being the long weekend, boarding likely isn’t an option on such short notice.

We are thrilled to announce that Asher has been adopted by his foster family!

07/24/2024

Foster home needed! This pretty girl is Nyx, she is 5 years old and was adopted from us 2 years ago. Unfortunately her adopter’s work schedule has gotten to the point that Nyx is alone for 16-17 hours a day, which is not fair to her and has exacerbated her separation anxiety. Nyx is great with kids and would likely be okay with a male dog, but absolutely no females please. She has had many, many litters before she came to us, so she really just needs somewhere to chill for the rest of her days.

Zeus says “thank you” to Claws & Paws for coming over and cutting his nails! If anyone in Edmonton is looking for a patient and skilled groomer who will come to your home and do a nail trim, Logan is your gal!

Are there any website people who could help us out? Our menu does not seem to be working properly as there should be sub-menus under the first 3 headings that are not showing up. I don’t think I have the knowledge to troubleshoot myself. Please DM if you can help!

We’d like to a give an ENORMOUS thank you to one of our directors, Candice of FiveAM Dobermans, as well as the Doberman Pinscher Club of Canada, for purchasing a holter monitor (portable ECG) for the rescue. What does this mean? This means we can check all of our dogs over the age of 2, for early signs of DCM (heart condition common to Dobes). We will also be offering a free rental to any of our adopters once a year. Speaking of which, would anyone like to volunteer to manage this program for us? Preferably someone local to the Edmonton area, for logistical reasons. 🙏
