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!

If I could have 3 wishes they would be - fetch ALL THE TIME! |
Jackson
Age: 1 year old Breed: little bit of this, little bit of that Sex: Male If I could have 3 wishes they would be - fetch ALL THE TIME! I love fetch. You have a big backyard? That would be perfect to play fetch in! My second wish would be my own personal, on command belly rubber. Wow those things are good And my last wish would be for me to find my forever family. I am looking for people who get me… like really get me. I was a very skittish fella when AHHRB got me. I was very nervous when anything would come around my head, leashes… hands… but have gotten much better! Turns out leashes mean I get to go for a walk, and hands give me scratches. Both A+ things! I have been improving but am looking for a home who is willing to continue to help me become the confident boy I am working so hard to be. I have met dogs through fences, I get a bit excited when I see them on walks too and try to get there attention by barking at them. I will need some guidance to show me how to properly meet a friend but I can’t wait till can meet another 4 legged pal. Unknown how I am around kids as I haven’t met the small humans yet. I am house trained and once I get all my exercise I am a very sweet, cuddly boy. Looking for a BFF to help make the best boy ever? That’s me! I’m ready! Make sure you have lots of treats and toys at the ready! See you soon! Xoxo Jackson |
