Nelson (Furever Foster - SPONSORED)'s Story

Nelson is now a Furever Foster with ABHDR. <br/><br/>He excels at our acreage - quiet country living with very few visitors - rather than a busy urban environment, busy hiking trails or busy parks that overwhelm him and where his fears consume him. Although we can't say we live in a quiet home, what with all the fosters that come through here, he is very relaxed & sure of his place out here. <br/><br/>He's happy to be our yard guard or couch slouch or our sounding board and he is our resident behaviour specialist. If Nelson doesn't like a new foster (very rare), or is not shown the respect he is due, then we are extra watchful with those dogs during their 30 day intake assessments.

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.
