Story
Spike has a story with us and we’d like to share it with you. Spike is a three year old Husky mix. He came from the Northwest Territories SPCA when he was 8 weeks old. He was a happy friendly puppy who loved the female dog, cat, and kids in his foster home. He was adopted as a puppy and then abandoned, dropped at the neighbour`s house when he was 7 months old. She only realized he had been a rescue pup from his microchip when she took him to the vet. He had a limp and she contacted us saying she cared for him but he was too puppy for an older lady. We brought him back into care and we realized that he would periodically limp. The vets said he was born with a shorter back leg, and it was accommodating his active lifestyle but starting to cause him consistent pain. He would need to be on pain medication or have it amputated for better quality of life. So BARS decided to give him a pain free, active, happy life and amputate his short leg. It was a tough few days after surgery but he healed up amazingly. He is running, playing and back to his best self. Spike is ready for a family to love him forever. If Spike could speak he would ask for lots of outside space, a safe place to sleep at night. Cats, cats and more cats, as he absolutely loves them and protects them. He is good with female dogs after proper introductions but hasn’t had much luck sharing a home with another male. Spike loves toys and can carry multiple toys in his mouth at once. He is a smart, funny and vibrant character that will add so much love and excitement to your home.

Story
Hello world I’m Ollie, I’m a Pyrenees gal 4/5yrs old. I love dogs and cats and I’m good with farm animals. I love cuddles and adventures in the great outdoors. My challenging characteristics are that I can be protective of my person and my property and I am extremely selective about the men that I like. It’s very normal for my breed. I do best with another friendly dog that does friendly meet and greets then I want to be friendly too. If you were looking for a pair I met and fell in love with Kuma while in my foster home. He happens to be looking for a home as well. Kuma LOVES people and that makes me want to love them as well (Kuma is available through Fern`s Acres).

Hi, I’m Steveo!Approximate age: 2 yearBreed: MixedEnergy Level: Medium high Good with Kids: I’m still young and high energy so older kids would be bestGood with Dogs: Need proper introduction. Prefer females.Good with Cats: No. Not really a fan. Love my rabbit buddy thoughHey im Steveo! I`m a sweet, playful, smart, and cuddly guy. I love people, they`re my favorite! I also love car rides, they are the best! And toys, oh, how I love toys! They keep me entertained for hours. But the crate? Nah. I mean, I can go in if necessary but it`s not my thing. I prefer to be out and about, exploring and playing. I`m a good boy sleeping on my bed. I do love to run and play so would do best in a fenced yard.I`m also smart, you know. I can learn new tricks quickly, and I`m always eager to please. Other dogs? I have been okay with females but not a fan of the other boys. Cats? Hard to say. I met one at the vet who I wanted to chase but I am good friends with the rabbit in my home. Really, I`m all about the people. I`m looking for a family who will love me as much as I will love them. I promise to be the best friend you`ve ever had. Adopt me, and let`s start our adventure together!If you would like to meet me and give me a chance . Please fill out the adoption application!

Story
Hello my name is AberApproximate age: 2 YearsGender: MaleBreed: very mixed large breedEnergy level: I am a chill laid back pup.Good with kids: yesGood with dogs: yes.Good with cats: yesI have done very well in my foster home. I’m great with other dogs, cats and I absolutely adore the kids. I love to play but I can be the calm in your day, the quiet listener, the loyal friend.I know lots of basic commands such as sit, stay, leave it and come. I’m a very smart boy.I might be a bit reserved initially, but give me a chance to settle in and I`ll show you my playful loving side. I would do best in a quite home with a confident canine sister to show me how much fun being a dog can be. A quiet country home would be my dream come true. I`m looking for a forever home where I can share all the love I have to give. Will you be my new family?

Story
Hi! My name is Romeo and I’m a 2 year old Irish Wolfhound/Pyrenees mix. I tend to keep to myself and I’m calm and gentle. I like to take my time with eating, and savour each bite. I’m a big patient boy! I’m an affectionate sweetheart and like being touched, brushed, and I love the attention. I’m not fond of storms and I`m afraid of thunder and lightening. I enjoy running around and I’m naturally curious. I do not like to be contained or locked up. Once I escape my pen or any pen you may choose, I never go far. My ideal forever home is a farm! I’m not fussy with toys or foods and consider myself very easy to please.I’m playful and tolerate other dogs, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. I tend to submit and I don’t have a mean bone in my body. I have not been around cats. I am very gentle with kids and would be fine to be their guardian. If you would like to meet me , please fill out the adoption application.

Story
Hello there, I`m Tango. I`m as sweet as sugar and love to cuddle. My playful spirit will fill your home with joy and laughter. I`m friendly with everyone I meet, and my gentle nature makes me a perfect companion for both kids and adults. My energy knows no bounds, and I love to spend it playing games or going for walks. But don`t worry, I`m very passive and I know when it`s time to relax. I`m not just a pet, I`m a friend, a confidante, a source of unconditional love. Adopting me would mean a lifetime of companionship and loyalty. I promise, I`ll make every day brighter with my love and antics.I will need a high, secure fence as I can jump like a thoroughbred and just want to run like the wind!
