My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

UPDATE: Our super sweet Ally has been with us almost a year now. She is an 11 year old Boxer mix who came into care after her owner passed away last year. Unfortunately Ally spent the majority of her first 10 years in the back yard. She’s been learning about the luxuries of comfy beds, car rides and going on adventures since she came into our care. Ally loves for adventure! She is the hiking queen and is easily tackling trails such as Call Lake, Malkow Lookout and Seymour Ridge, longer hikes could leave her feeling a little stiff. Once her adventures are over Ally wants all the snuggles and cuddles. She’s proven to be clean and non destructive in the home during her brief stint in foster care (foster mom had to leave the area unexpectedly). Ally does not bark at or react to the other dogs at the shelter, she’s easily across the fence from them and does well while out on walks but she is looking for a home as an only pet. Ally can be quite dominant with other dogs which has gotten her into trouble in the past and she wants to chase down cats. When you’re 11 years old and trying to live your very best golden years…. You get to decide who you spend them with♥️. Ally loves people of all ages and is super gentle with children. She walks well on leash but does pull a bit when she’s out on fun adventures because she’s so excited to see it all, we use a halti in these situations. Ally did come to us with major allergies which had caused bacterial and yeast infections all over her body. She was initially put on cytopoint injections as controlling diet can be difficult at the shelter (who wouldn’t want to give that adorable girl a few treats?). Ally hates the cytopoint injections so we are now trying her on a hypoallergenic diet which seems to be doing well, luckily she loves her kibble so a few extra of those are seen as a treat in Ally’s eyes. With such a fun and loving personality we have not been able to understand why Ally has not found her forever family yet. We know her age and special diet may be playing a factor so, we have decided to offer this girl for a half price adoption fee! We are also open to a long term foster situation for Ally where we cover her food and medical bills. we just don’t want Ally spending her golden years in the shelter. She deserves to know the comforts and love that comes with being someone’s treasured pet. If you’re interested in adopting Ally please find out adoption application through our website www.NWAS.ca or send us a message on Facebook or email (foster@nwas.ca) if you want to discuss fostering.
