🎉 FOREVER HOME NEEDED for FIV POSITIVE CAT 🎉 $0.00 adoption fee! A little bit about Bolt... I’m a sweet, chatty guy who loves to “talk” with you and keep you company. I enjoy sitting nearby and will happily accept cuddles—especially if you invite me. I’m gentle, great with kids, and do well co-existing with dogs. Bolt’s Medical Journey 🐾 Since arriving in December, Bolt has been closely monitored and treated to help manage his skin condition—something that can be more complex due to his FIV-positive status. Initial care included: 🐾Treatment for a cold (oral antibiotics) 🐾Flea prevention and ringworm check 🐾Bloodwork (FIV stable) 🐾Transition to hypoallergenic food Ongoing treatment efforts: 🐾Flea prevention ongoing 🐾Bloodwork completed 🐾Hypoallergenic food continued 🐾Steroids being safely weaned and now discontinued 🐾New topical steroid cream applied twice daily for skin sores Bolt’s FIV means his immune system needs extra support, and his future family should be committed to ongoing care, monitoring, and regular vet visits. With the right home, cats like Bolt can absolutely live long, happy, and comfortable lives 💛 Apply online at ScarsCare.ca

Hi, my name is Calista (Cali). I am a beautiful husky around 3 years old. I have been told that I have the most stunning ice-blue eyes. I am an active girl and like playing with other dogs that I am familiar with. I walk well on a leash and I am conditioned to a halti. I am a quick learner and I know how to sit, stay and shake a paw. I am very curious and like to explore. I can be a bit mouthy, so older kids (10 years +) would be best. I love to be with my people and I travel well in the vehicle. I am *almost* crate trained. In my previous home I did show some resource guarding with food (with the other dog) and I was known to escape if a gate was left open. If you think I might be a match for your family fill out an app. If not, tell your friends about me! Apply online at ScarsCare.ca

Meet Granger! 🐾 Granger is a 3.5-year-old mixed breed boy with a big personality and an even bigger capacity to grow. When he first came into our care, he was very shut down and reserved—but it didn’t take long for his true self to shine through. Once he felt safe, Granger blossomed into a fun, expressive, and engaging companion. Granger has spent time at one of our partner kennels working on more formal training, especially around his tendency to be a bit mouthy. He has made great progress, but this is still something his future family should be aware of. During moments of excitement—like putting on or taking off his leash, or if he feels left out on walks—he may try to nip at hands, ankles, or clothing. We believe this behavior comes from a bit of FOMO, especially if he sees attention being given to another dog. Granger is muzzle trained and, while it’s not his favorite accessory, he understands that it’s sometimes needed and handles it respectfully in certain situations. This has been a helpful management tool as he continues to learn and succeed. Because of this, Granger would do best with adopters who are attentive, consistent, and willing to continue reinforcing his training. The good news? Granger is food motivated, and treats have been an incredibly helpful tool in his learning process. He does well with female dogs and would likely thrive with an established, calm female companion to help show him the ropes—but he would also be perfectly happy as a solo pup soaking up all the attention for himself. Cats, however, are not a match for Granger—they look a little too much like toys in his eyes. Granger has already come so far and will continue to do amazing things in the right home. With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, he’ll make a loyal and rewarding companion. Located in Morinville, Alberta Apply online at ScarsCare.ca

Adoptable Ditto Located: just outside of Sherwood Park, Alberta Hi, my name is Ditto! I’m an affectionate and playful young guy looking for my forever home. My foster mom says I’m a very good boy—I walk nicely on a leash, I’m well-behaved in the house, and I’m kennel trained too! I love kids and have great manners—I know not to jump or lick when meeting new people. I’m an easygoing companion who’s happy to match your vibe. Whether it’s going on long walks or just relaxing at home, I’m right there with you. When it’s time to chill, I’ll grab my favorite toy and settle on my dog bed beside you. I can’t wait to meet my new family! 🐾 Please consider adopting me today ScarsCare.ca

Meet Chucky 🐾 Chucky moved into our rescue centre the very day it opened, and while he’s been so patient, what he really needs is a place to finally call home. This good boy is ready for his forever family — and we truly believe there’s a perfect match out there for him. Chucky would thrive on an acreage where he has space to explore, stretch his legs, and just be a dog. He’s been waiting… and it’s his turn ❤️ If you have the space and the heart to give Chucky the life he deserves, please reach out or apply today! Link: ScarsCare.ca
