🐶🗻Meet Whistler! 🗻🐶
At only 5 months old, Whistler was found in Lacombe County - thin, scared and alone.
At the dump.
We see it way to often, here in our own backyard of Central Alberta - dogs and cats who are tossed like tissues. Just a piece of garbage that can be thrown away.
And while he has every right to be untrusting and scared of humans, because a human was willing to put him in the dump, hoping to erase the memory of him - not caring that they were throwing him to certain death, this boy is nothing but smiles and wiggle bums and snuggles.
He's chosen to trust.
He's chosen to love.
He's chosen to be happy. And to forgive.
Whistler is only 5 months old. And in the few weeks he has been in our care, he has learned to be the best house dog - fully housetrained and is working on being crate trained. He is great on a leash, and has excellent recall when he's not on the leash!
He thinks people are pretty great and loves to be around them. While he doesn't always need to be THISCLOSE to you, he's always around, looking for some lovin', a kind word or something to throw a ball or play tug with. While he is a big boy, he is good with kids of all ages and think they're the best to share treats with a goodest snuggles.
He loves, loves other dogs and plays well with every one he's met. He's good with dog savvy cats (he does think, when a cat runs, that it's GAME ON for playing.) He thinks being outside is super fun (especially knowing there's a couch to snuggle on and a person to lay next to afterwards.) Combine that love with his recall - he'd be the best hiking buddy in the summer or cross country partner in the winter!
Whistler is a husky cross, who is about 50 lbs. He will grow up to be a large breed. He is up to date on shots, dewormer, microchip and neutered for an adoption fee of $525.
