Lilo

Meet Lilo!

Location: South Calgary
Breed: Labrador Retriever/black
Sex: Spayed Female
Birthdate: Jan. 29, 2025

LILO is an affectionate, playful, and spirited dog who brings a fun, lighthearted energy wherever she goes. She loves being with her people and thrives in a home that will embrace her joyful personality and active lifestyle. LILO enjoys playing with other dogs and would do well with regular social opportunities, whether through a calmer resident dog, playdates, or off-leash adventures.

She has great recall, loves to learn, and responds well to positive reinforcement training. Lilo has lots of wonderful foundation skills, great in her kennel or on her bed, good at staying home alone, and loves a good puzzle or chew toy. She will benefit from continued support with her leash manners, as she can be a strong puller and loves to stop and sniff everything around her. Sniff walks, backyard playtime, and park adventures are some of her favourite activities. Confident, loving, and good-natured, LILO would thrive in a home committed to positive, relationship-based training and continued guidance as she grows.

She would be suitable with a solo owner or a family with older children who have a healthy balance of activity and quiet time.

Jack

Meet Jack!

Breed: Labrador Retriever (Black)
Sex: Neutered Male
Birthdate: July 23, 2024

Jack is an affectionate, playful, and spirited dog who is looking for a home that will embrace his goofy personality and zest for life. He is a social boy who thrives on connection, both with his people and with other dogs, and he brings a fun, lighthearted energy to the home.

Jack loves to play and especially enjoys the company of other dogs. He would do well in a home where he has opportunities for social interaction, whether that’s with a resident dog or regular playtime with canine friends. His playful nature and easygoing demeanor make him a great companion for dogs who enjoy an active and engaging play style.

He is an enthusiastic learner who is always eager to try something new in training. Jack benefits from continued positive reinforcement and engagement, and he shines when given the opportunity to use his brain and build skills alongside his handler.

Jack will also benefit from continued support with his leash skills, as he can be a strong puller on walks. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he has the potential to make great progress. He also experiences some mild separation anxiety and will do best in a home where someone is around more often and can help him build confidence and comfort when alone.

Jack does have environmental allergies, which can present as redness in his eyes, itching and ongoing chin acne. These are manageable, but his future home should be prepared to stay on top of his care and monitor his skin to keep him comfortable.

At his core, Jack is a loving and good-natured dog who is happiest when he is with his people. His goofy personality and affectionate nature make him a joy to be around, and he will thrive with someone who appreciates his playful spirit and is excited to continue guiding him as he grows.

Jack is ready to bring a lot of love, laughter, and companionship to the right home as he begins his next chapter.

Other Notes:

Jack’s allergies will need ongoing management

A home committed to positive reinforcement and relationship-based training is essential
