For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Meet Ember, a lively and excitable boy who's ready to light up your life with his energy and charm! Ember is all about having fun, and his favorite game is fetch-he could play for hours if you let him! He's smart too and knows basic commands like sit, down, and paw. His food and toy motivation makes him a great candidate for further training and enrichment.
While Ember is an affectionate and playful companion, he does need an experienced owner who can manage his high arousal levels, especially during introductions with other dogs. Due to his selectivity, Ember is working on muzzle training to ensure safe and positive interactions. He's house-trained, which makes him a great fit for someone who can provide the structure and guidance he needs.
If you're looking for a smart, energetic, and trainable dog who loves to engage and play, Ember could be your perfect match! Come meet him at the Edmonton Humane Society!

Before you Adopt
Pet adoption is a big commitment. We encourage you to spend considerable time thinking about and researching the type of pet most suitable to your family. Most breeds have their own characteristic traits and specific needs which need to be considered. Remember that some animals have lifespans of 20 years or more.
Prospective adopters will meet the following requirements:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have two pieces of identification, with at least one showing your current address and a picture.
- ALL FAMILY MEMBERS, sometimes including family pets, must be present during the adoption process.
- If you already have a dog and are considering adopting another one, you MUST be prepared to bring your current family dog to the interview. This will help you to determine if all family members and existing pets will get along with the new pet.
- If you live in rental accommodations, please confirm that your landlord allows the type of pet you are considering, and that you have paid your pet deposit before you adopt. There are NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES if the building owner does not accept the animal. In addition, you will have to pay all regular surrender fees if you need to return the animal to the Edmonton Humane Society.
If you are looking to adopt a dog or puppy please note:
Some of the dogs on our web site have recommendations on the age of younger family members. These restrictions are placed out of the concern of the dogs as well as in consideration of families.
Remember that new animals arrive every day. You may have to return to the shelter a number of times before you find a good match. It is better to wait and come back again than it is to take home an animal who does not suit your lifestyle
