Amos's Story

We sometimes take in extremely fearful or reactive dogs, knowing that it may take them a while to become more confident and/or less worried. These dogs may never be available to the general public because of their fearful or reactive snapping. However, because they can be very good dogs in their known environments, an experienced dog owner or trainer will likely be able to work with the issues.<br/><br/>To that end, these dogs are not great prospects for a busy, highly interactive or social lifestyle. They may be good sport or working prospects for an adopter who can focus solely on the dog but not for a busy family or multi-dog household or a busy public environment, such as dog parks or group outings.

AB Herding Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

Each dog in foster care has their own picture album with a more detailed write up on their history as we know it, the behaviours that we are seeing in foster care and the type of home we think would best suit them. If you are interested in one of our dogs, please check out the detailed profiles for our available dogs at www.albertaherdingdogrescue.com and then email us for an adoption questionnaire. This must be filled out as completely and truthfully as possible and include references. We will consider long distance adoptions but we will not ship our dogs to people or places unknown. We require that adopters travel to meet our dogs, once all steps of the process have been completed. AB-HDR is located approximately 1.5 hours NW of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We are not a shelter with regular office or store hours. Although many of our dogs are located at Cavorting K9s Retreat, all our dogs are fostered in private homes. All visits are by appointment with the foster family.
