The dogs below are available for adoption at the Lethbridge and District Humane Society. There are more dogs shown on Facebook. To view any of the dogs, you will need to make an appointment by calling 403-320-8991.
| Cinder | What to say about Cinder? If she were human, her favorite movies would be the good Fast and Furious movies and Underground 6 – great chase scenes! – but her secret favorite would be Ever After. She would spend all of her time finding the best mountain trails and making vintage cars go really fast. Cinder needs someone who knows how to deal with working dogs, heelers in particular. She needs that person to know that she’s only going to like one or two people in her life and getting to know more will be challenging. She needs someone who will continue training her and be firm and consistent. |  |
| Teddy | Teddy likes his people. That’s it. He doesn’t need a big circle of friends or time at a dog park, he needs his (very few) people and his own yard and a chew toy he can call his own and that’ll make him a very happy boy! What does that mean? It means he’ll need someone who’s committed to getting to know him, who’ll understand that if he doesn’t like you right away it’s just because he needs to know he can trust you, and that takes time. Teddy is a no cats, no dogs, no kids kind of man. Is he a good boy? Most definitely! Will he be forever loyal to his people? Of course! He just comes with boundaries. |  |
| Daisy | Daisy is a beautiful dog but like our other long term residents, she is also looking for a very particular sort of person. Daisy needs structure and consistency and lots of activity and that in itself is a lot for anyone to handle, but she also needs someone that understands that she’s not going to be a snuggler or allowed on the couch or great at parties. She needs rules and structure and she hates surprises! We’re not giving up on her! We know that there’s someone out there willing to give her a home life but until then her walks are many and consisitent, her rules are plentiful and followed. |  |
| Newton | Newton is still a very good boy and we’ve been working on his leash manners but he still gets so darned excited about going! Also he still really wants to chase things but he’s getting the hang of keeping pace to the person he’s walking. |  |
| Chrissy | Chrissy is an absolute wigglebutt. What’s that, you ask? It’s where her butt can sometimes act of its own accord when she’s super happy and start taking her in unexpected directions. Chrissy is a happy girl who likes to learn new things when she’s not just hanging out with you, which is possibly her mostest favorite thing. She sounds lovely, doesn’t she? She is but why’s she here? Because Chrissy hanging out with you turns into Chrissy thinking she has to protect you. Now someone may think that’s the coolest thing ever but Chrissy has a hard time turning that off for polite social situations and just starts to assume anything at all is going to hurt you (can we all say “helicopter mom” together). So she needs someone who’s going to calm that side of her down and make her realize that her mommying days are over and she can just chill out now |
 |
| Chewie | Chewie is definitely a very cute little guy but he does have some behaviour issues. If he was as well behaved as he is cute, he would have been adopted long ago. NO CHILDREN for in the household for him. Chewy is on the move constantly and has no time for cuddling, he can be touchy about being petted over his head. He can also be possessive over toys. He needs someone who is experienced with some behaviour issues and would be willing to work with a trainer for as long as needed and be committed to managing these issues going forward. |  |
| Ryder | Ryder is a beautiful big boy who hasn’t been with us for very long! Sometimes life just likes to throw us some curve balls and that ends up putting us in these weird situations where you’re in a strange place, hardly anyone speaks your language, supper is at a different time and 3 different people walk you throughout the day and you would just really like your couch back please because who wants to walk in the wet snow?? Ryder’s big. He drools. He’s needing some activity in his life. He’s very good with his manners, until he gets single minded about a smell and then you’re just the accessory. He’s looking for a family with teens or just adults. |  |
| Finnley | Finnley is a very good, sweet, active girl. We’re talking about those every day jogs that some of you love to do. Well, Finnley would love to come along! She is not a sit around sort of girl. In fact, lounging around will just increase her boredom and then she’ll find fun things to do that you won’t want her doing, so give in to your Inner Health Nut and let Finnley help keep you on track of your fitness goals! |  |
| Mia | Mia is a sweet girl who likes her strolls and riding in golf carts and being anywhere you are. We didn’t find Mia on a run to Mexico or chasing a rabbit – that’s not really her style. Flying 1st class is the ticket she wants! Mia was surrendered to us and she has quite obviously been loved in her previous life. She didn’t snap or growl even though she was confused and once she realized most everyone who sees her takes her for a walk, she was right as rain. Mia’s looking to continue on with her life of creature comforts and she needs a friend that will want to take her on those walks she probably won’t remind you about. |
 |
| Odin | Odin is a wonderful young man! He’s lanky and silly, he loves to run and his tail doesn’t stop wagging. Odin is basically in his tween years, so his dexterity isn’t always great because his stick legs have a wild streak! He needs some basic obedience training but he’s a good boy and will catch on, just as soon as he gets over all of those distractions that puppies are fond of. |  |
| “Big” Axel | Why “Big”? Because we already have a little Axel and it’s more than size that differentiate these two! For one, Big Axel is much nicer than the little one! No matter what gets thrown Big Axel’s way. he takes it in stride! He was surrendered due to unfortunate life events, none of them his fault. He’s got some training behind him and he’s headstrong enough that he thinks he knows better than you do, so he’s going to need a someone that is more stubborn than he is. He’s also not into sharing his space with other four legged interlopers. Big Axel’s ideal family is going to be people who like to keep up and extend the training he’s already received, who have some experience in dealing with lovingly bullheaded breeds, only want a dog around (not a houseful of animals) and don’t have small children around to trip over. |
