Story
A little bit about Winnie: - limited history with children, kids 12+ recommended due to mouthing, over-excitement, and resource guarding - no cats / small animals, high prey drive - limited history with dogs, potential for select other dog in home pending successful dog-to-dogShe`s fluffy, she`s fun, and she loves to meet everyone, it`s Winnie the oh-so-loveable and friendly pup! She lives by the motto `every stranger is a friend she hasn`t met yet` and her cute face is sure to draw lots of attention! But because Winnie get`s so excited when meeting people, she can get a little jumpy and mouthy which is why her new family should be prepared to help her learn proper puppy manners.Speaking of family, Winnie would do best in an active, busy home with older kids that have a strong understanding of dog body language and can recognize when Winnie is getting too amped up! She`d be a great fit for those with an active lifestyle that can offer her plenty of enrichment, playtime, and toys (she loves to play tug!) to keep her puppy brain busy. Winnie is also very food motivated and smart so just imagine all of the cool tricks you can teach her! Due to her high prey drive, Winnie will require a home with no cats or small animals but may do well with an equally active doggy friend. Just be sure to manage meal times and treats because Winnie doesn`t like to share her food!Puppies can be a lot of work but when Winnie is snuggled up by your side or joining you on your next adventure, it will make it all so worth it! Come meet Winnie today and leave with your new best friend!

Story
Yukon is a 4 year old, purebred, Siberian Husky. He is great with children as he grew up with my young son. Yukon is house trained but loves the outdoors and dog parks. He gets along with EVERYONE. He is a very smart and happy boy. We leave his food out and he only eats when he wants to, making it super easy to care for him. Unfortunately, our family has had a marital breakdown and must sell our house. Neither of us have the means to take him with us. All shots are up-to-date, neutered, and micro-chipped. We have all the documentation. We can provide his crate, place pad, large doghouse, toys, leashes, etc.

Skeeter

Chinese Crested

Edmonton, AB
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Skeeter is an 8 year old hairy hairless Chinese Crested we adopted 4 years ago from a rescue. He needs to go to a single female household where there are no children, few visitors and few stressors in his life. He has fear related and anxiety issues for which he is on twice daily medications. He also has a bite history. With the person he trusts, he is a quiet, sweet and lovable dog. Around anyone else, he does not feel safe and will bite. He currently has a dog buddy and would do well with another chill dog in his home. He spends a good deal of his day sleeping in or out of his crate or on my lap. I need to rehome him as he is scared of my husband. This fear translates into a lot of barking, pacing and avoidance when he is out of his crate, and most recently a bite. Even with medication and working extensively with a behavioral specialist, his behavior has not improved enough for either the dog or hubby to be comfortable. When I am home alone with the dogs he is a happy, quiet guy.
