🐾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!

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

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!
Good with kids? Yes

Lewis Hamilton
Birthday: May 18, 2026 Sex: Male Breed: Floppy-Eared Couch Potato Weight: 40 lbs - will be large fully grown Meet Lewis Hamilton — a big, floppy baby with a heart just as big! This handsome boy is the definition of easygoing. He loves his naps, his people, and being wherever the action is… as long as he can eventually curl up nearby for a good snooze. |
Lewis has the cutest little howl when he doesn’t get his way — especially when he’s waiting for FOOD! He’s incredibly food motivated and thinks every treat is a well-deserved reward.
When he’s not napping, Lewis loves tug-of-war, wrestling with his foster brother, chewing bully sticks, chasing the kids around the yard, and, of course, ALL the snuggles. He’s also impressively brave — vacuums, lawn mowers and all those scary household noises? No big deal!
This smart boy is doing wonderfully with his training. He has mastered sit, is learning down and shake a paw, and is doing fantastic on leash! He hardly pulls and walks beautifully for a puppy. He’s also a champion sleeper and sleeps through the night in his kennel — often putting himself to bed!
Lewis is ready for the next leg of his journey — straight into the arms of his forever family! All he needs is a little love, a lot of snuggles, and maybe a few snacks along the way.
Likes: Tug-of-war, snuggles, wrestling, bully sticks, treats, kids, backyard zoomies, his foster brother, naps
Dislikes: Waiting for food… and honestly, that’s about it!
Good with dogs? Yes!
Good with cats? Yes, he is learning about kittys
Good with kids? Yes, he loves kids!
