Nanook needs to be returned for the second time 🙁 This time, his adopter abandoned him with a former partner. We've been waiting months for an updated bio on him, but it's getting more urgent, so his new photos and old bio are posted!
***Paragraph from current caregiver: He likes his toy reindeer stuffies and being brushed, he dislikes baths, having is nails trimmed and having to move. He will growl when you ask him to move but he will do it but you have to say "excuse me". He loves treats just not peanut butter flavoured ones. He will eat table scraps but thats mostly due to having young kids, theres always a mess. He needs to have a home that has time and energy to care for him properly. He will be difficult to walk at first but he will get better with time.***
He's now 9 years old, located in Hamilton, and needs an urgent foster or adopter with malamute breed experience! Hos adoption fee is now $250.
If you think you can help Nanook out, please submit an application on our website at https://www.smartrescue.ca/application now!

Unfortunately, our recent post for dog food donations did not yield any donations at all :( Our food level is dangerously low for both kibble and meat!

Our supplier posted again yesterday that they have not had anything arriving either, so we are certainly not the only rescue struggling with food right now! However, we are one of the bigger rescues that is supported by our supplier, so we are in dire straights.

We have several food options, as well as other necessities on our amazon wishlist, including medical supplies. Monetary donations are also ALWAYS a help!

Please, please, please consider helping our dogs! Donate! Foster! Adopt! Volunteer!

Blue and Belle are desperate for a new placement. They can be separated. They entered care in March and this is their 3rd placement that isn't working out :(

Blue would be best as a single pet.

Belle can be with other dogs.

Kids are ok. Cats are not.

Foster or adopter placements are great!

Meet Blue & Belle — a pair ready to fill your home with double the love.

Blue and Belle came into foster care together, and their connection is something truly special. They bring out the best in each other and are now looking for a forever home where they can stay side by side.

Blue is a fluffy, happy boy with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. He absolutely loves toys and thrives on affection. Blue is a cuddle expert, a loyal companion, and a devoted “kiss giver” who will happily remind you how loved you are. He forms strong bonds with his people and wants nothing more than to be close to you.

Blue can be a bit dominant and is currently reactive with other dogs, so he will need an experienced owner who can provide structure, guidance, and continued support to help him feel secure and succeed.

Belle is his calm, quiet counterpart — a sweet and gentle girl who prefers to stay right by your side. She is affectionate, loving, and happiest when she’s near her person. Belle adores belly rubs and is known as an “opportunistic kisser,” always ready to sneak in some extra love. She walks well on leash and comes when called, and is continuing to build her confidence with basic training.

Belle is also quite clever and has shown herself to be an escape artist, so she will require a very secure fenced yard and a home that is mindful about doors and gates.

Together, Blue and Belle offer a beautiful balance — playful and calm, silly and sweet, energetic and gentle. They provide comfort to one another and would thrive in a home that understands their needs and is committed to continuing their training and providing a safe, structured environment.

They are looking for a dedicated adopter who sees the value in keeping them together and is ready to receive twice the loyalty, twice the companionship, and twice the love.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to two incredible dogs who will never leave your side… Blue and Belle are ready to meet you.

$250 to adopt them both TOGETHER! Fully vetted!
