As we see an absolutely unheard of increase in surrenders (all with behavioural issues), we are very proud to start offering Petcademy services to adopters and fosters.

This service provides them with 1:1 support from a certified trainer to ensure they can access help when they need it, hopefully keeping more animals at home rather than being surrendered ❤️

OREO + SPOT 🐶

Meet the two cutest freeloaders we’ve seen in a while 🩵

Spot (pictured left) not only has some seriously cute face markings but has a pretty great personality to match. He plays hard and naps harder. He’s great with kids and other animals and judging from his mamas good looks, he’s going to grow into one handsome dude 💇‍♂️

Oreo (on the right), was named after his favourite cookie that he’s never tried (and possibly his colours). He thinks everyone is his BFF (animals included) and would follow you around closely all day if you let him. He’s a big foodie and will overeat if you let him (we don’t suggest trying this 💩).

BOTH these boys are available for adoption RIGHT NOW; they’re neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped and (more importantly) a great addition to your family!

Apply here 👉🏻

🏔️ ROCKY 🏔️
5 MONTHS || 30 LBS || 100% GOOD BOY

Meet Rocky - affectionately nicknamed a bundle of fun and sweetness.

This sweet boy is the complete package: beauty, brains and balanced.

He is great with his fosters dog and loves to play. He’s good with the cats, although slightly confused by this small dog like friend who doesn’t like to play and has a weird bark. Rocky is also exposed to horses and is getting used to being near them. Silly that they don’t want to play either though.

He sleeps in his kennel all night and is house trained (with age expectations on time). He is very smart and food motivated, but has not shown any food aggression or resource guarding. He's been around people & kids of all ages and loves everyone 💕

He is doing excellent with leash training and learning to walk nicely.

How can you not fall in love with that darling face?

Do you need this boy in your life forever? Apply for him through the link below 👇

https://zfrmz.com/lBzcc1Chpb1BeJckjq0X

Rocky is located in Red Deer, AB. In person adoption meets are required and we do not have the capacity to offer transport of animals. His adoption fee is $575 which includes his neuter, age and time appropriate vaccines, preventative deworming, microchip and general health check.

How has sweet Colin not had applications for him with that silly ear and sweet smile. He even dusted off his best charm for a professional session with Derp Dog Studios and nothing!

Him (and his two adoptable siblings - both girls) are still looking for their forever. Lily (ears for days) and Francesca (Colin’s twin in female form) are trying to be patient, but they are puppies after all!

They are good with cats, dogs of all sizes, and kids of all ages. They are calm and collected - which is saying something for a puppy. But their mama was the same way, so we aren’t entirely shocked.

Apply to make one yours ⬇️

https://zfrmz.com/lBzcc1Chpb1BeJckjq0X

Colin, Francesca and Lily are located in Red Deer, AB. Mom weighs about 65-70lbs, but dad is unknown. Puppy adoption fees are $575 which includes their spay/neuter, age and time appropriate vaccines (for these guys that’s ALL three puppy rounds), deworming, microchip and health exam. Pups are located in Red Deer and we do not have the ability to transport animals - in person adoption meets at our office in Red Deer are required.

We will be down at Global Pet Foods Sylvan Lake today with some ADORABLE pups looking for a home!

BRUCE 🥹
***ADOPTED***

Bruce might be a variety of potato in his previous life, baked or fried we aren’t sure - he loves to suntan so both might apply - but it has equaled a big lug of a puppy. Currently he masquerades through life as a Saint Bernard x.

At 10 months old, Bruce already tipping the scales at 80lbs. He is not a small dog, he will never be… even when he thinks he is.

Bruce came to us from our friends at Alberta Animal Services - AAS. Shout out to Jennifer who works tirelessly to place animals into rescue when they go unclaimed giving the world a chance to meet gems like Bruce 🥰

From his foster “Chillest dog ever. Loves kids, other dogs, cats, his people, suntanning, cuddles, walks and couch naps. Sleeps pretty good in his kennel. Fully house trained and working on commands. A bit of a toy shedder but makes up for it with sheer admiration of all his people. He walks relatively well on leash but is still learning at his age. Stops to smell the flowers, legit flowers. He lives life for belly rubs. Bruce is truly a gem of a dog.”

Do you have space (literally and figuratively) for this big boy?

Apply to adopt him below 👇

https://zfrmz.com/lBzcc1Chpb1BeJckjq0X

Bruce’s adoption fee is $575.00 - this includes his neuter, age and time appropriate vaccines, deworming, microchip and general health exam. He is located in Red Deer AB - we do not offer transport of animals.

NINE LITTLE PUPPIES LOOKING FOR A HOME

Yes… in our heads that went to the tune of “five little monkeys” and now it will in yours too 😏

They have been raised in family homes and have an approximate birthday of June 24, 2024! Pups current weights are between 6-11lbs (Gus, Spud and Lainey being the 6-8lbs and the rest in the 9-11lbs range).

🔊PSA - PLEASE READ

We are so so thankful of everyone who supports us, donates to us, volunteers, fosters, adopts and shares our posts. We could not do this without you 🩷🩷

As everyone knows we (and all rescues) have been completely overwhelmed with surrender calls. 30+ calls a day, multiple emails and messages.. it’s never ending and it’s extremely heartbreaking. A lot of them are not our animals and since we’re full, we can’t help 😔

There are some animals adopted through us, whether it be a month ago or 2 years ago that need to be returned and we wanted to be clear:

✅ YES, we do have it in our contract (as any ethical rescue does) we will take back our animals adopted from us
❌ NO, this does not mean you have a backup plan when you decide you want to travel, visit friends more, etc etc. Put some thought into adopting before you do it - these are living creatures.

✅ YES, you sign a contract saying that we are FOSTER HOME BASED and we will need to find a foster for the animal you don’t want anymore before we can intake them again
❌ NO, that does not mean you can threaten to drop “it” off or you’ll “get rid of it”, “euthanize it”, “dump it”, “give it away” and we will take them faster. It means we HAVE NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO until a foster steps up.

✅ YES, despite what you may think, we are actively trying to find the animals fosters but things take time and can’t always be on YOUR timeline
❌ NO, you may not call and swear at us, call us names, tell us how awful we are when we are DOING OUR BEST!

We are so exhausted with humans taking NO responsibility for animals they have adopted, cared for, loved and raised and assuming WE need to now clean up the mess because life has happened.

Adopting doesn’t mean you have a back up plan when life doesn’t go your way….it’s still supposed to be forever. And if it can’t be, then be patient with us.

We’ve done NOTHING wrong and we’re doing what we can, when we can. We’re tired. We’re burnt out. We’re trying.

We still have a commitment to help HOMELESS animals. Ones who will most likely get sick, injured or die without rescue.

And as the calls keep coming in (literally the phone is ringing as we write this), we hope everyone just remembers to BE KIND 🤞🏻

08/29/2024

YESTERDAY 💔

We received a call from a community member needing help with her female dog who had pups.

While we got ready to head out, we received another message about a dog with terrible mange fending for himself outside. The picture we got was shocking and we immediately knew we had to help.

He is almost completely bald, his skin crusted over, swollen and uncomfortable. He will take months to recover but we’re so glad he’ll get that chance.

Lastly, our volunteer couldn’t leave without grabbing a skinny, soaking wet, extremely smelly pup found wandering alone.

We added these 5 new dogs to our care last night (along with 21 cats in the last 3 days) despite not having room and struggling with funding.

If we didn’t, what would have happened to them?

A $5 donation is a can of wet food for one of those babies or our mange boy. No amount is too small to help these guys (and all the other animals in care!!). We can send tax receipts for donations over $20 ❤️

EMT: [email protected] with INTAKE in the comments

Thank you for helping us, help them.
