🐾Adoptable Puppy update alert🐾
Before we tell you about our amazing adoptable puppies, we wanted to talk about a decision made by the
Alberta Homeward Hound Rescue Bureau team.
We've decided to no longer post the “best guess” for breeds of our lovable rescue dogs.
Our rescue takes in a lot of dogs from northern communities that have been born and living on the land that has no discernible breed. What we DO know about every dog that comes into our care is that they all deserve a warm, cozy pad, a full belly, and
are ALWAYS 100% adorable.
We always appreciate every single human for adopting rescue and not shopping and at the end of the day this much is true:
🐾🐾🐾Rescue is the best breed of them all.🐾🐾🐾
Thank you for understanding,
💛 the AHHRB team 💛

We schedule a veterinary appointment to get a good picture of their health and requirements. Before being ready for adoption, all necessary medical & veterinary visits are completed. Your dog comes to you with:
- full vaccine record
- spay/ neuter
- health information from the time we receive them
- microchip
Steps to adoption
- Sit down with your family and decide what kind of dog would be the best fit.Things to consider are personality traits, energy levels, and grooming requirements. Are you wanting a dog that is able to travel with you and explore the world? Or a couch potato that loves a good movie snuggle night?
- Have a look at your budget. Do you have the ability to support another animal and the potential of extra needs that could come up?
- Keeping an eye on the website, start reading our adoptable dog's profiles.
Take a look at your key list of requirements. We know they are all cute - but we want to make sure they are the right fit for you! We have dogs coming in all the time, so if you don't see your match yet, they might be here next week! Rescue can move quick. - When you have a potential dream dog in mind, fill out the application form by clicking the button beside the dogs' profile.
- Your application will be reviewed within 3 days with an approval for the next step, or declined if we feel it isn't a match
- If approved, we will arrange for a phone call to go over your application and to coordinate a meet & greet with your chosen dog
- You'll head out to your meet & greet to see how you and your family get along with the dog. The foster family can answer questions about the process, the dogs' personality and will also watch to see if the dog responds well to you.
- Are they the one? Take 24 hours to go home, sleep on it and chat with your family to see if this is the right dog to adopt. Let the foster family know and they can help you complete the adoption if they also felt it was a fantastic match! You'll complete the paperwork and submit the adoption fee. Then you get to take your new family member home!
- Not the right dog, that's okay, let us know that, too! We may have another suggestion for you, or you can wait until another dog comes through our doors that captures your heart!

Lexi
Birthday: January 31, 2025 Sex: Female Breed: Honor Roll Adventure Pup Weight: 50 lbs If there were report cards for dogs, Lexi would be at the top of the class. She’s smart, eager to learn, and always ready to show off her latest trick — she also knows how to balance school and recess with a good dose of playful silliness. |
Lexi is the perfect mix of affectionate, independent, calm, and goofy. One minute she’s curled up relaxing beside you, and the next she’s spinning in excitement or proudly demonstrating her impressive list of tricks. This girl absolutely loves learning new things and thrives when her brain gets a workout. Training sessions? Yes please. Puzzle toys? Even better.
She’s already mastered an extensive list of skills including sit, lie down, place, spin, recall, hand touch, and find it. Lexi is the kind of dog who would happily sign up for every class if doggy university existed. When she’s not studying her next trick, Lexi enjoys walks, chewing on her favorite toys, enrichment games, and spending time with her people. She also enjoys hanging out and playing with dog friends. If living with another dog, she does best in a structured home committed to managing resources and continuing to work on positive sharing habits.
Lexi would love an active home that enjoys walks (or runs!), training games, and adventures with friends. Someone who enjoys engaging with their dog and continuing her learning journey would be the perfect match for this bright young pup. With her brains, personality, and playful charm, Lexi is ready to graduate straight into the role of someone’s very best friend. 💛
Likes: Walks, training games, treat toys, chewing, attention, playing with dog friends
Dislikes: Sharing food, small animals
Good with dogs? Lexi does best in a home without other dogs
Good with cats? No
Good with kids? 16+ only

Vera
Birthday: Approx. January 2025 Sex: Female Breed: Beautiful Bestie Weight: 55 lbs Hi! My name is Vera, and I'm looking for a family to love forever. My biggest qualification? I absolutely adore my people. If you're looking for a loyal companion who wants to be part of everything you do, I think we'd make the perfect team! |
I'm the perfect balance of fun and snuggly. Need a walking buddy? I'm in! Going for a hike, run, or road trip? Count me in! Ready to relax on the couch after a long day? I'll happily curl up beside you because being with my people is my favorite place to be.
I love exploring, chewing on my favorite toys, and learning new things. I'm a smart girl who already knows sit, stay & paw. I'm still practicing my leash manners because I get so excited to meet new people and seeing other dogs—but I'm eager to learn and always want to make my humans proud.
One thing that makes me extra special? My adorable little tail! I came into rescue with an old tail injury, so there's a tiny piece missing from the end. It's all healed now, and it just gives me even more character. Don't worry—it still wags a mile a minute whenever I'm happy (which is pretty often!).
All I'm looking for is a family who will continue helping me learn, include me in their adventures, and love me as much as I'll love them.
Likes: Walks, chewing toys, cuddles, being near her people
Dislikes: Loud noises, bonfires
Good with dogs? Yes, with proper introductions and dogs that match her energy
Good with cats? Unknown
Good with kids? Yes

Spice
Birthday: January 2025 Sex: Female Breed: Cinnamon Cuddler Weight: 27lbs Every recipe has that one special ingredient that makes it unforgettable... and this sweet girl is exactly that. Meet Spice, the perfect little dash of sweetness, silliness, and love! At first, Spice is a little like a warm cinnamon roll fresh from the oven—you have to give her a minute. She likes to take her time getting to know new people, but once you've earned her trust, she'll sprinkle your days with endless love, goofy antics, and loyal companionship. |
Spice is the perfect mix of brains and beauty. With her stunning mismatched eyes and fluffy curls, she's even more gorgeous in person than photos can capture! This clever girl loves learning new things, playing hide-and-seek, and making her people proud. When the adventures are over, she's happiest curled up beside her favorite humans, soaking up fluffy fur rubs and accepting payment in cheese, peanut butter cookies, or pig ears.
Spice has a gentle heart, so a little patience goes a long way. She prefers slow introductions to new people, likes having a tiny night light to help her feel cozy at bedtime, and busy parking lots can make her nervous. But when she knows she's safe, her playful, affectionate personality shines brighter than ever.
If you're looking for a best friend who's equal parts sweet, silly, fluffy, and fiercely loyal, Spice might just be the missing ingredient your family has been searching for. After all... life is always better with a little Spice.
Likes: Walks and outdoor adventures, hide-and-seek, cuddles, fluffy fur rubs, spending time with her favorite people, cheese, peanut butter cookies, pig ears, and learning new things.
Dislikes: Being rushed when meeting new people, dark rooms at bedtime (a little night light helps!)
Good with Dogs? Yes!
Good with Cats? Unknown
Good with Kids? Yes!

Prairie
Birthday: April 27, 2025 Sex: Female Breed: Certified Sunshine Weight: 80 lbs Some dogs brighten a room... Prairie brightens your whole world. Just like a beautiful prairie field on a sunny day, Prairie is warm, joyful, and impossible not to fall in love with. She has the sweetest heart and absolutely adores her people. Wherever you are, she'll happily be right beside you—your loyal shadow through every adventure and every lazy afternoon. |
Prairie is incredibly smart and always ready to learn something new. Food puzzles? Easy! New tricks? Bring them on! She loves using her clever brain just as much as she loves chasing a toy or playing a game of fetch. With treats, encouragement, and a little fun, Prairie is eager to please and loves showing off what she knows.
When she's not busy exploring the world with her curious nose, you'll find her happily playing with toys, romping around with her dog friends, or patiently waiting for her next adventure. She thrives on routine, enjoys staying active, and would love a family that will include her in daily walks, games, and plenty of quality time.
Prairie has wonderful manners and already knows sit, come, leave it, and kennel. She's a loving, playful girl with a heart as big as the open prairie. While she can live with cats, she thinks they're fascinating and may occasionally become their very enthusiastic "personal assistant."
If you've been searching for a best friend who is equal parts playful, affectionate, and incredibly loyal, Prairie is ready to fill your home with sunshine, laughter, and unconditional love. All that's missing is you. 🌾❤️
Likes: Toys, treats, fetch, playing with other dogs, learning new things, food puzzles, adventures, and being close to her people.
Dislikes: Rainy days and loud noises.
Good with dogs? Yes
Good with cats? Yes, but she's very curious and likes to be in their business!

Venezia
Birthday: March 26, 2026 Sex: Female Breed: Pocket-Sized Scruffy Lovebug Weight: 6 lbs - estimated to stay small Venezia is packed with personality, sweetness, and enough love to brighten every single day. She absolutely adores people—especially kids—and nothing makes her happier than being included in whatever her family is doing. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or snack time (her favorite!), Venezia just wants to be by your side. |
She's a smart little girl who loves treats, toys, and learning new things. She's eager to please and is sure to keep you smiling with her adorable scruffy face and playful spirit.
Venezia enjoys having dog friends, but she's still building confidence when meeting new dogs. She does wonderfully with slow, positive introductions, especially with smaller dogs. When she's feeling unsure or nervous, she isn't afraid to use her voice to let everyone know she'd like a little extra space. It's simply her way of saying, "I'm still figuring this out!" Once she feels safe and comfortable, it's all about zoomies, playtime, and making new friends.
She's also recently met a larger dog and is still learning that big dogs can be friends too. With patient guidance, continued positive experiences, and a family willing to cheer her on, we're confident she'll continue to blossom.
Venezia is looking for a family who will see the amazing little dog she already is and help her continue growing into the confident pup she's meant to be. In return, she'll reward you with endless love, loyalty, laughs, and a lifetime of companionship.
Likes: Treats, toys , kids, playing with dog friends, cuddles, learning new things
Dislikes: Thunder, Fast introductions
Good with Dogs? Yes! She just needs slow introductions and a little help building her confidence.
Good with Cats? Yes! She's learning to live with kitties and is doing well with proper introductions.
Good with Kids? Absolutely! Kids are some of her favorite people.
