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!

Sex: Male
Breed: Large Breed Mix Age: 5 years approx Hi, my name is Wally! I’m out here trying to live my best life, being a good boy, loving my people and waiting for my furever home. Here is what I think you need to know about me; I am not sure I really remember where I came from, but they tell me I am around 5 years old. I weigh in at about 75 lbs, so some might call me a little curvy, though my foster people have been working on that with me. Snacks are few and far between (read healthy), but I do eat two good meals a day. I love to walk and walk and walk. Right now, I am walking about 5 or 6 km per day, and I am very good at loose leash walking (sometimes the odd squirrel makes me tug a bit, but we have been making great strides in that department). I am hoping to someday soon get to an off-leash park to run to my heart’s content. The people from AHHRB tell me I am a bit reactive with other dogs, but if I meet other dogs on a walk or in someone’s backyard to play off-leash, I am slowly getting more used to sharing my space. My fosters are making me feel safer when coming upon other big dogs while on leash. Sometimes it is so hard, but I think I am getting better. At home, if you ring my doorbell I will let my fosters know with a great big bark, but if they are okay with you I will bring you a toy. I love to play with stuffies with squeakers in them, which seems kind of funny for a big boy, but please don’t judge me. I love to snuggle in my beds wherever they are, and I am a very good sleeper. When my fosters say “go to bed”, I go curl up in my bed and stay there until morning when someone gets up to make the coffee. I am quite happy to wait until my foster mom has her coffee and reads a bit of news before we head out for our morning walk. And then my day begins.... After a 30-to-40-minute walk I am happy to come home and have breakfast and some play time with my toys. I love, love, love my people and I love to be good. Wherever I came from I have been taught good manners and I work on them daily. I would love to show you how good I can be. Would you like to meet me? |

Tilly
Age: 5 months Sex: Female Breed: Pitty Mix Hiiiii hoomans! My name is Tilly and if you’re looking for an expert stuffy killer, look no further KIDDING (not really). When I’m not busy kiiii-uddling as many stuffies as I can get my paws on I enjoy playing fetch, running in my backyard, and playing with my foster fuzzy sibling. As you can tell I have a BIG puppy spirit that is happy to share with kids, dogs, cats (that can handle a little higher energy pup) and my hoomans. Sometimes I’m a little nervous of strangers when I first meet them because I was an orphan found all alone and everything was kind of scary to begin with in my life. But I warm up real quick once I realize they just want to give me love! How can I blame them for being obsessed with me? If that all wasn’t enough for you to recognize I’m a super star … I’m house trained; I let my pawrents know I need to go do my business by sitting by the door, crate trained, and am starting my leash training on the right paw and will pick it up fast once I get some more practice ! I sit and know my manners well when receiving my meal and; I never start to eat until my pawrents say “yours”. |

Jaxx
Hi my name is Jaxx. I am looking for a home that will give me their undivided attention and love. Here is a list of my favourite things:
I would like to continue learning once I am adopted as I want to become the best boy possible. I sometimes get over stimulated with other animals around and need a break. So it's probably best if I go to a home with no kids and other dogs for now. To ring in the new year all I want is a place to call my own and to have a family. Will you be my new pawrents? |

SABINE
Breed: Shepherd Mix Age: Maybe 5 or 6? Sex: Female Hello! I'm Sabine. You may notice something different about me. It's true, I'm very beautiful. My foster parents say I'm the most beautiful tripawd - whatever that is. Living in a house is new for me but it's great! I lived by myself for a while but after chilling out with my family, this is much better. I have a cool furry foster brother that I love but I'm not a fan of strange dogs. I'm sure I'll learn to like them eventually. I'm always eager to go for walks but a while ago I was hurt pretty bad and ever since then I can't seem to go as far as I used to so I just go on frequent, but shorter walks. I have to so that I can keep an eye on the neighborhood rabbits. They are a big attraction for me! I'm not a nervous girl but I really like when things are calm at home. If we have kids come visit and I like to sniff them and get a gentle belly rub, but I'm not sure if I want to live with them forever! Cats either. Too much work. Do you know how exhausting it would be chasing a cat around all the time?! No thanks! Do you think I can be part of your family? I would love to find my forever home and continue to become my best self |
