We welcomed Foster #22 Buddy today. He's been looking for a home since 2020 - 6 whole years. Half his life in a shelter, begging to be seen - and instead being passed over. We're going to do our very best to help him finally be chosen. He deserves it #yeg @SCARS_Alberta #yegdogs

ADOPTABLE Bosco. Bosco is a super sweet, charming boy who came to SCARS as a stray from a northern community. He is eager to please and just wants to be told he's a good boy. He is working on his manners and is showing us that he is a star. He is crate trained and hasn't had any accidents inside. We have been working on leash training with him as he pulls quite a bit. When he’s not out adventuring, Bosco is more than happy to soak up affection. He gets along with most dogs, though he can be selective with other male dogs, so thoughtful introductions are best. Bosco would thrive in an active home with older kids, as his size and excitement can sometimes get the best of him. With the right family who can match his energy and continue his training, Bosco will make a loyal, loving, and fun companion. If you’re looking for a big-hearted boy with a zest for life and lots of love to give, Bosco might just be your perfect match. APPLY ONLINE: ScarsCare.ca Located outside of Sherwood Park

Adoptable Tigger is a nearly 5-year-old Pitbull Terrier cross with the most stunning tiger-striped coat you’ve ever seen — truly a showstopper! But it’s not just his looks that make him special — Tigger is a loving, affectionate boy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He thrives with predictability and has shown amazing progress when following a daily schedule. With continued support and positive reinforcement, he’ll keep blossoming into the best version of himself. When properly enriched, Tigger is respectful of furniture and bedding, and he was a total gentleman during his stay in our cozy cabin foster. He loves being around his humans and would do best in a home where he can continue to get the mental and physical stimulation he needs. Tigger prefers to be the king of his castle, so he’s looking for a pet-free home. Anyone looking for a boy like Tigger? Apply online at ScarsCare.ca Located in Morinville, AB

This dog has had their adoption fee sponsored. Someone loved this dog so much that they want you to use this money to set your new dog up for success! Adoptable Millie (previously named Sheena) She is a 5 year old Shepard mix. She is a well-mannered girl with a very sweet very personality. She can be nervous about change and hesitant with new people, but once she’s warmed up to you, she loves cuddling up at your side. She is very smart and can climb fences and escape most leashes, so she will need to be carefully supervised while she is outside. She loves looking out the window for car rides and learning new things. She’s not super food motivated, but she loves stuffed toys and affection. She is dog selective and has a high prey drive so she’d do best in a home without a cat. She is fully vetted & ready for her next adventure. Her adoption fee is completely sponsored.

1262 days in care. There must be a unicorn home out there? Tigger is a nearly 5-year-old Pitbull Terrier cross with a stunning tiger-striped coat and an affectionate, loving personality. He’s working on a few manners like jumping, mouthiness, and recall, and continues to make great progress with consistent training and routine. Tigger thrives with structure, enjoys being close to his people, and was a perfect gentleman in his cabin foster home. He’s looking for a pet-free home, as cats are not an option and he does best as the only pet. Due to his size and enthusiasm, an adult-only home or one with older teens (16 ) would be ideal. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves attention, cuddles, and being part of the family, Tigger is ready to find his perfect match. ❤️🐾 Apply online at SCARScare.ca Located in Morinville, Alberta

🐾 Meet Tom 🐾 This handsome, sweet guy was picked up from a rural pound showing symptoms that had us worried we might be facing distemper. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case — but Tom’s journey was far from over. What happened? Tom struggled with ongoing nasal discharge, nosebleeds, and just seemed generally unwell. We tried antibiotics and completed X-rays, hoping for answers, but nothing improved. We knew he needed specialist care to figure out what was really going on. The diagnosis After extensive testing with a veterinary specialist, Tom was diagnosed with Aspergillosis — a serious fungal infection caused by Aspergillus fungus. Treatment for this condition is complex and invasive. In Tom’s case, surgeons needed to create surgical openings into his sinus cavities so they could directly access, clean out, and treat the fungal infection. It’s a delicate procedure followed by ongoing medical treatment and monitoring. Tom has been through so much already, but he’s proving every day just how resilient and lovable he is. ❤️ 🎟️ Want to help dogs like Tom get the life-saving care they need? Grab a Chase the Ace ticket today and help us continue saying yes to animals needing specialized medical care. 🎲 rafflebox.ca/raffle/scars-ct… #SCARS #ChaseTheAce #RescueDog #SecondChance #HelpTom #SavingLivesTogether 🐾❤️

Meet Lady 🐾 Lady is the kind of dog who melts into you the moment you give her attention. Sweet, affectionate, and full of playful energy, she absolutely lives for love and connection. She’s got a gentle soul but is still building her confidence, so a home with a calm, confident male dog would really help her shine. That said, she’d also thrive soaking up one-on-one attention—she’s happiest when she’s close to her people. Apply online at ScarsCare.ca

Kuna is a 3-year-old mixed breed beauty with a heart full of love to give. This girl has the looks and the personality — she just needs the right person to help her thrive. Originally returned to SCARS due to her sheer strength and pulling on walks, Kuna has been making great progress with the right tools and guidance. With a properly loaded leash or a Halti, she’s learning to walk much more calmly and responds well to leash corrections when handled confidently. She’s a smart, eager-to-learn pup who just needs someone experienced and willing to put in the time. Kuna would do best as the only pet in the home. She does not get along with female dogs or cats. With proper, slow introductions, she has successfully made male dog friends, but she’s still selective — so no dog parks or busy social dog settings for this girl. Due to her strength and occasional lack of spatial awareness, a home with children over 10 (if any) is best, so everyone can respect her space and energy. She’s also an energetic runner, so an active household with a large, fully fenced yard would be the ideal environment for her to safely zoom and play. Kuna is looking for a committed, dog-savvy adopter who will continue to support her journey. She’s not the kind of dog you can just "wing it" with — but for the right person, she’s a loyal, loving, and rewarding companion who will give you her whole heart. Are you the one to help Kuna become her very best self? She’s waiting to meet you. Apply online at ScarsCare.ca
