Good with cats?: Unknown Good with children?: Yes, but older preferred Special/Medical Needs: No Energy Level: Medium / Low Minimum Adoption Fee: $650 Foster Home Location: Airdrie, AB Hi! My name is Isla - I'm a sweet lady looking for my furever home. A little about me: I sleep all night in my crate with no crying, and have not had one accident in the house. I try to be such a good girl and will sit for you without even asking when it's time to put my leash and harness on and give you my paw. I walk great on a leash - no pulling at all. It takes me a little longer on my walks as I like to smell everything. I need a patient owner who will let me smell all the smells. Since I can be a little shy in new situations, I would love a home that has older humans or adults only - just so I don't get chased around. I get along with my foster fur-brother (he's ~15lbs and 3 years old) - we try to play but I'm not really sure how. These toys are pretty neat, but I don't want to share them and get grumpy if my foster brother tries to play with them while I'm playing with them. I LOVE human pets and snuggles and will give you lots of kisses. But I do get jealous and lift my lips to show my foster fur-brother that I don't want to share snuggles with my person. I would do well as the only dog in a home as I resource guard my toys and my people. I don't have any separation anxiety, but because I love snuggling so much, I would really love my person or family to be home most or all of the time. I'm low to medium energy. I had a really nice bath and did so well with some peanut butter distractions. So far, I do great in the car - I cried a tiny bit but my foster mom could barely hear me. I will happily jump out on my own when it's time to go. Mani and pedi's are no problem at the groomers. My foster mom said to tell you that I haven't been tested around cats. I'm already spayed - phewf! Overall, Isla is the easiest foster dog we've ever had. Her new family will be really lucky to have such a great pup and I expect she will come out of her shell more with time. She would be a dream dog for first time dog owners, a family with older children, a single person or couple. She does well around other well-mannered dogs - we met one very hyper big dog who was lunging at her to play and she was scared. She does seek out affection often and will cover you in kisses when she gets out of her crate in the morning.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
