Story
Sundae may be deaf, but she is a curious, affectionate dog who is very engaged with the world around her. Sundae likes a cuddle, a walk, toys and adventures. Sundae is crate trained, house trained, great on leash and has learned sit, down and paw. She is avidly working on stay and place training, which is helping her with her independence. Sundae can get overexcited and mouthy so we're looking for a furever home who can continue teaching her that she can express herself in more appropriate ways. If you think you can be the family for this curious, high energy gal, apply today.

Story
Didi is an absolute cuddle bug. She is a sensitive soul that would prefer a quiet home without children. She will do anything for her people and just wants to know that she is making you proud. She listens very well to commands and enjoys hanging out in her crate. She’s got many tricks down. Didi knows sit, down, paw, kennel, wait, come, and responds well to her name. She’s currently working on her leash manners as she can get confused at times with how to act when approaching another dog on a leash. Her foster has seen great progress and is happy with Didi’s eagerness to look for direction when she’s unsure of a situation. Didi is hoping for a family that will continue her training and help bring out the best pup she can be. If she sounds like a great fit for you, please apply or pass this along to anyone you feel would be a good match.

Hi friends, this is Charlie over here! An old soul looking for a calm home without kids or loud noises. He’s extremely affectionate and is known for his happy dances when saying good morning. Charlie can get skittish with loud noises or sudden fast movements. Fortunately, he’s a breeze to train and correct with the smallest of hand signals or a quiet voice. He walks amazingly on leash but can sometimes get spooked by a new person on the trail. He currently knows tricks such as sit, shake, and stay. Charlie is ready to find his furever home. If he sounds like a great fit for you, please apply or pass this along to anyone you feel would be a good match.

Meet Camper, an extraordinary dog with a heart as big as his ears! Camper is a resilient and loyal male who was found as a stray on a campground and is now ready to find his forever home. His massive ears may catch your eye, but it’s his spirit and potential that will truly capture your heart. Camper has shown incredible progress in his journey toward trust and companionship. He may be a bit wary of new things, but he’s already mastered some important commands: “sit,” “down,” and “look.” He is house trained, crate trained and knows “place”. He is highly intelligent and loves learning new tricks! Camper’s loyalty is unmatched; once he bonds with you, he’ll be your faithful companion through thick and thin. He is looking for a loving home where he can continue to grow and thrive.  If Camper is the guy for you, apply today! 💙

Story
Meet Bella! Don’t let her cute Frenchie face fool you – this girl is SASSY and needs an experienced handler. She can be reactive on leash and defensive of strangers coming into the home. But once she trusts you, Bella is a loving, affectionate companion who thrives on being close to her people. Bella has a delightful daily routine: she wakes up full of energy, ready for a bathroom break followed by some playtime. After her zoomies, she happily alternates between nap time and more fun throughout the day. In the afternoons, she loves to take a longer snooze, recharging for her evening strolls. Though Bella can be a little reactive on the leash, she knows commands like sit, stay, and down about 80% of the time, showing her willingness to learn and improve. With a dedicated and loving owner, she can thrive and become more comfortable on her walks. We are looking for someone to foster Bella with the intent to adopt. Bella takes a bit longer to warm up to new people, so we want to ensure she feels comfortable with her new family before the adoption is finalized. Bella is fully house-trained, knows basic commands, and is eager to continue learning in a patient & loving home. If Bella sounds like the gal for you, apply today.

Story
***We are looking for a foster-to-adopt home for Autumn. Heart Mountain Rescue’s foster-to-adopt (FTA) program allows approved applicants to take an animal into their home before they have officially adopted the animal. If the FTA applicant is accepted, they will foster the animal until it is approved to be adopted and the adoption process is finalized. This special foster-to-adopt arrangement allows the applicant to care for Autumn while we manage her continued vetting. Please note: the FTA applicant must live in Calgary so that we can work with our existing partner clinics.*** Meet Autumn 🍂, a curious three-pawed pup with a heart full of love. She enjoys shorter walks and plenty of cuddle time. Her personality is as big as her heart—she’s affectionate and always ready to meet new friends, both human and canine! Autumn is crate and house trained and has mastered the 'sit' command. She is looking for a loving family where she can enjoy gentle guidance and all the affection she deserves. She’s ready to bring joy, love, and cuddles to her new home, and can’t wait to create unforgettable memories together! While this pup comes with a sprinkle of love, we can’t promise they’re a sneeze-free zone! 🐾
