Story
Meet Otis, a 1-year-old, large mixed breed bundle of love! This big, Strong and goofy boy is the ultimate people-pleaser. He loves visitors, respects cats, and already knows how to sit and wait politely for his meals.Otis has endless puppy energy and doesn’t quite realize his size yet. He can get quite jumpy and he is also a young pup going through a mouthiness phase. He loves to leap onto the couch for close snuggles and will occasionally `counter surf` or chew on household items if they are left in reach. He is an enthusiastic walker who pulls when excited, especially when he spots other dogs. Otis is incredibly smart and trainable. He will absolutely need and thrive with an active, younger couple who can give him the consistent training, structure, and daily exercise he needs to grow into his potential!A little bit about Otis:Kids: Due to his size and energy - older children only ( 14 plus )Cats/Small Animals: He did well around cats while on a sleepover - All introductions should be done slowly over multiple sessions and carefully supervised.Dogs: Unknown history with other dogs. Potential to live with a select dog pending a successful dog-to-dog introduction.

Story
Hi, Barbara Streisand About me:I had a very hard start in life. I was kept in a cage with little positive human interaction or affection and forced to have puppies. My foster mama is not sure I had ever been outside before coming to IWARS. But despite everything I’ve been through, I am getting braver everyday and ever so slowly learning that people are kind and loving. Things I LOVE: Going for walks in my sling ( I don’t love the cold though). I’m tooscared to walk on a leash and would be a flight risk if I got away. I like the kennel, but also like to curl up under something (like the couch). It makes me feel safe. I also love Wet food and freeze dried treats! I learning all about toys. Things I DON’T LOVE:Being chased, Busy, high-traffic environments and Fast movements — they can be scary for me. I’m also very frightened by loud and unfamiliar sounds.My special request: I’m looking for a quiet, low-traffic home with patient, gentle and loving people who understand that I’ve had a rough start and will need time to continue learning that life is safe. I will likely never be an extrovert dog and may never like to venture too far away from my safe places. My foster has noticed I do love the other pets in the house and like to hang out with them. I would love a friendly doggy pal or someone who is home a lot!Kennel trained: YES! My kennel (or somewhere quiet) is my safe space.House trained: Not quite. I use pee pads and haven’t had an accident in weeks!Dogs: Yes!Cats: Yes! Children: No — too much energy for me!I may have spent my first years of my life simply surviving. Now, I’m ready to spend my next chapter feeling safe, loved and spoiled. Please consider me as your next family member

Story
Chewy is on a furcation and will return to the shelter in Mid-November. Until then, he is not available to adopt, but please email adopt@calgaryhumane.ca if you are interested in meeting him when he returns!Meet Chewy! Like most puppies, he has the sweetest puppy eyes, and loves snacks and playtime! Unlike most puppies, Chewy has spent the last two months recovering from a broken leg, which made it hard for him play and explore like a normal puppy. Chewy struggled to learn that he should not chew and bite at hands and arms, and he`s still working on this skill. Chewy`s leg is now fully recovered and this little guy is more than ready to be adopted and experience life to the fullest. As a higher energy pup, we think Chewy will thrive in a home with a patient family who has previously experienced caring for a puppy as an adult. A patient, playful adult dog could be a huge bonus to help Chewy learn about appropriate doggy play and communication. If you have lots of love, lots of patience and lots of chew toys, then this sweet face is more than ready to head home with you! Visit Chewy at Calgary Humane today!

Story
Meet Pone, a 5 year old chi cross, who’s awkward smile exudes the warmth of his resilient soul. Pone is in foster in Puerto Vallarta with the kind rescuer that scooped him off the streets toward a better life. Pone has an underbite and a set of teeth that mark the hard life he endured. They’ve now been professionally cleaned and 4 teeth removed, so he’s feeling more comfortable. Pone is living with dogs and cats – and he enjoys playtime and cuddles with them. He is a medium energy boy who is good with people, including guests to the home, though wary of children. Pone is healthy, vaccinated, neutered and ready for a real family all his own. He is full grown at just under 10 pounds. If you think you might make a happy home for Pone, he has flight options for a life in BC or Alberta. If you’d like more information, or an application, please get in touch with us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com (check your spam / junk for responses).
