Steps to adoption:
When a dog comes into Alberta Homeward Hound Rescue Bureau they are matched with the best possible foster home for their known needs and personalities. 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!

Hey hey! My name is Hunter! |
Hunter
Age: 15 months Breed: Mixed Hey hey! My name is Hunter, a 15 month old mix breed. I am a big boy, with a lot of energy! Don’t let my size fool you, I am still a puppy. I keep getting told I’m VERY smart though! I’m very food/treat/love motivated and truly just want to be around my humans all the time. I am extremely loyal and just want to be someone world... that’s not too much to ask is it? I have a few items on my forever home wish list: - A fenced yard, holy I love outside! - Toys - I am told I would be an amazing family dog, I do well with kids, cats, other dogs... some would say “I’m a dream”. Anyways, fill out an application to meet me? I would love to find my home forever and ever see you soon! |
let my people contact your people if you want to meet me! |
Ella
Age: 18 Months Breed: German Shepard What can I tell you about myself? Well I’m a 18 month old German Shepard lady who can be shy at first but will warm up once given a little time. I really am quite the sweetheart once I’m comfortable, and cuddles are my love language! I’m what my humans call a medium energy pup, I do love my walks (would love a backyard if you have one), my tail is big and floofy so it is a goal of mine to catch it one day; so I’ll be busy working on that too. Hope you don’t mind. I do get jealous if another fuzzy butt in the household gets attention so I would prefer to be the only animal in the household. I also am told I’m somewhat “big” and don’t know my “size” so a home without wee children would be preferred. Teenagers would probably be fine! Anyways... I think that about covers it, let my people contact your people if you want to meet me |
I’m sweet like sugar and ready to be my families forever Valentine! |
Meelah
Age: 4-6 months Breed: Shepard mix Okay, it’s my turn to find my forever home! My name is Meelah and I’m a Shepard mix and estimated 4-6 months old. I’m sweet like sugar and ready to be my families forever Valentine do you love to play? I bond and instantly fall in love with anyone who plays with me! I love to play! I also have gotten along with all other fuzzy friends feline and canine, I do know the difference and will make sure I’m quite gentle with the feline friends I’m pretty smart hey? At any moment in-between playing... I won’t say no to a belly rub, just sayin’. I am a puppy so my foster family describes me as high energy, I have been good with kids so far but am a puppy so keep that in mind, my manners aren’t perfect yet. I still am working on becoming fully house trained but am SO CLOSE! Please don’t let that deter you from applying for me! I am fully crate trained and ready, so go me! |
It’s going down, we’re yelling TIMBEEEEERRR (fun fact, Timber said Kesha named that song after him)! |
Timber
Age: 10+ Breed: Husky It’s going down, we’re yelling TIMBEEEEERRR (fun fact, Timber said Kesha named that song after him)! Hello I am a male Husky senior boy (10+) who my foster mom describes me as a very sweet, gentle soul. I am looking for my hooman, ya know, my best friend! I love walks lots of belly rubs and fuzzy bum rubs, feels so good and I’ll fall in love with you instantly! Even though I love multiple walks, my brain is a little younger then my body and I can only really handle max 20 min at a time! I do like other dog friends, and am not phased by cats. Super chill right? Something kind of a little quirk of mine is I don’t love back rubs or leg rubs, just not the biggest fan but with trust and time might be a little less sensitive! Anyways, I would love to find my home to spend the rest of my golden years in and spend the rest of my days cuddling! Think it could be you? |
Do you love floofers? Do you love puppers? Do you love gentle giants? |
Jax
Age: 10 months Breed: Mixed. Do you love floofers? Do you love puppers? Do you love gentle giants? Do you love to buy your fuzzy friend toys? If the answer was YES to all these questions, I’m your dream boat pup! I am a 10 month old, male, mixed breed! What mix? Your guess is as good as mine but it’s all about personality these days right? I do think I’m a lap dog; because I am and you’ll always be warm and cuddled. I’m a puppy as you can tell so I do have that fun puppy energy and get along great with other dogs! Playing is so so fun, outside is so so fun, so a yard and a sibling would be a HUGE bonus for me! Crates are a little scary... I haven’t mastered that yet, but my foster family pens me up in a little area when they leave and I’m pretty good for a couple hours! Puppy school would be very beneficial but I really am just so excited to find my forever loving home. |
