🌟 Meet Rufus – A Sweet, Distinguished Gentleman! 🌟
Sound on for a fun little video of Rufus 😀
Rufus may be a senior dog, but he still has plenty of love and life to offer! At an estimated 10-12 years young, this 44 kg Rottweiler mix has all the charm of an older soul with the heart of a loyal companion. Rufus is looking for a loving home to live out his golden years in comfort.
Sweet, calm, and affectionate with a touch of independence.
Ideal Home for Rufus
🔸 Companion Animals: Rufus does well with other animals in the right setting but needs a calm and confident handler. He would thrive as the only pet or with calm animals that respect his space.
🔸 People: Rufus loves having someone around most of the time. He would be perfect for retirees, work-from-home individuals, or families who can include him in their daily activities.
🔸 Environment: A home without too many stairs would be ideal to accommodate his size and age.
What Rufus Loves
🔸 Daily Walks: He enjoys getting out and about for leisurely strolls.
🔸 Relaxing: Rufus is content lounging around the house, preferably in a comfy spot near his people.
🔸 Affection: He thrives on attention and loves gentle pets and cuddles.
Behavior Around Others
🔸 Dogs: Rufus coexists well with calm, respectful dogs but may need guidance managing his intensity in certain situations.
🔸 Cats: Generally does well with cats but may show assertiveness over prized possessions.
🔸 People: Rufus is friendly and calm with visitors, earning compliments for his sweet demeanor.
Location
Rufus is currently in Calgary, AB, waiting for his forever home.
Rufus is an easy-going, affectionate boy who deserves a loving home to enjoy his golden years. With the right family, he’ll make a loyal and loving companion. 💕
🌟 Meet Benedict (Benny) 🌟
https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/benedict/
Benny is a super sweet and social kitten with a big personality and a love for treats! Born in September 2024, Benny came into foster care with his four sisters and has been making incredible progress, showing his friendly and playful side. When Benny first arrived, he was a little unsure of humans, but he quickly came around and now runs right up to his foster mom, especially if she has treats! He’s still learning to love being held but already enjoys pets, curling up at the foot of the bed while his foster mom reads.
Ideal Home for Benny
🔸Companion Cats: Benny loves other cats and looks to them for guidance. A home with another friendly, confident cat would help him thrive.
🔸Kids: Best suited to a home with older children who understand his need for gentle interaction. Loud, high-energy environments can be a bit overwhelming for him.
🔸Dogs: Benny is dog-friendly and unbothered by the family pup, walking past with ease.
What Benny Loves
🔸Treats: This little guy is incredibly food-motivated and will start purring as soon as he sees the treat box.
🔸Playtime: Benny enjoys playing with toys and running around with his foster siblings.
🔸Quiet Time: He loves being near his foster mom and is happy to lounge at the foot of the bed while she relaxes.
Location
Benny is being fostered in Airdrie with Holly (Hollandaise).
Please *SHARE* to help Benny find his forever home. Benny is a playful, food-loving kitten, growing into an affectionate and loyal companion. If you’re ready to give Benny the love and care he deserves, he’ll reward you with endless purrs and companionship. 💕
Adopt Benny!

🌟 Meet Hollandaise 🌟
https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/hollandaise/
🎶 Sound On
Hollandaise is a stunning long-haired beauty with a tiny, kitten-sized frame and a growing heart full of love. 💕 Born in September 2024, Holly was a very timid kitten but has been making incredible progress in her foster home, especially learning from the patient older resident cats how to “cat”. And, as you can see in the video, hard work from her foster family has paid off and Holly is finally trusting humans and definitely showing her affectionate side! In fact, she has recently decided to enthusiastically greet her foster family with big, rumbling purrs when they come home🐱🥰
Ideal Home for Hollandaise
🔆Companion Cats: Hollandaise loves other cats, especially older ones, and would thrive in a home with a feline companion.
🔆 Calm Environment: She prefers a quieter home with no young children but would be comfortable with older kids (14+).
🔆 Dog Friendly: She’s used to living with a dog and walks past the family pup with ease.
What Hollandaise Loves
🔆 Resident Cats: Yup, loves them 🥰
🔆 Treats & Toys: Holly is a very serious foodie and takes great pleasure whacking her favourite toys around.
🔆 Quiet Time: She snuggles in bed or on a cozy lap.
Location
Hollandaise is being fostered in Airdrie with Benedict!
Hollandaise is a sweet, observant, and growing kitten with so much potential to become a beloved member of your family. If you have the time and patience to let her continue blossoming, she’ll reward you with her quiet charm, purrs, and loyalty. 💕

Willow and Sadie are adoptable, either as a pair or separately ❣️❣️
https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/willow-2/
https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/sadie/
These lovely ladies have become more independent and confident over the last couple of months, and while we're still secretly hoping they'll be adopted together, we think they could totally rock their own homes with friendly cats or dogs as BFFs. In the meantime, Willow and Sadie are enjoying life and having fun (between a lot of snoozing) while they wait. Their current fave toys? Willow's got a thing for big bags, and Sadie's all about that squeaky mouse in an egg carton. Only the best for our fosters 😄
Fostering is fun and rewarding. Check out this link if you want to learn more!

Please *SHARE* to help us find Willow and Sadie their forever home! 😊

We have new kittens (Benedict, Hollandaise, Bagel & Hashbrown) ready for adoption on our website https://rescuefriends.ca/cats/ as well as Willow and our other animals 😀🍾🎉🥳 https://rescuefriends.ca/animals/
