Retired Husky Heroes for Adoption in Canmore, Alberta

After hanging up their harnesses, these members of our pack are looking for their fur-ever homes! Each 4-legged member of our family is unique and we want to ensure that we find them the best home to spend their golden years, whether that’s backpacking adventures or TV nights on the couch!

Just like people, some of our dogs take a little longer to warm up to strangers. Our ‘shyness’ rating gives potential adopters insight into each dog’s personality, 1 being very outgoing, 5 being very shy. As part of the adoption process, potential adopters will spend lots of time getting to know the dogs. Our adoption process is very selective, and we decline any candidates that don’t meet our retired husky hero’s special requirements. For more information about our adoption program, please email adoptions@snowyowltours.com.

Scroll for cute photos! Male husky dogs are first, followed by the females.

Fender

Age: 12
Shyness: 2 (fairly outgoing)
Breed:
Canadian Indian

Birthday – July 17, 2011

Fender loves spending time with his two-legged pals more than anything! He has a reputation for being a bit of a “tough guy” in the kennel but deep down has a heart of gold. This guitar hero would gladly accept belly rubs and ear scratches for hours on end, but also has some serious pep in his step. Fender would love to find someone to take him on all the adventures during his retirement years!

Howie

Age: 11
Shyness: 3 (a little shy)
Breed:
Siberian Racing Husky
Siblings: Tommy

Birthday –  March 29, 2012

If we had to describe Howie in one word it would be quirky! Howie’s personality is more akin to a cat, rather than sled dog! He likes to do things to his own tune, loves his own space and won’t be seeking you out for affection all day, he’d rather be curled up in a nice warm spot snoozing away. Howie is more than happy to do a bunch of exploring, have a quick cuddle and then catch a quick cat nap!

Kraken

Age: 10
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Canadian Indian x Siberian
Siblings: Ketea

Birthday – June 20th, 2013

If there is one thing that really motivates this good boy it’s food! Like Puss in Boots from Shrek, Kraken has mastered that wide-eyed look to try to swing himself some more treats or second portions. Unconcerned about his figure, Kraken would easily love to get to the “oh lawd, he comin'” size on the chonk scale if he could. Kraken is looking for a family to continue to be the voice of reason with his diet and keep him very active to maintain his “fine boi” figure.

Morpheus

Age: 7
Shyness: 2 (fairly outgoing)
Breed:
Canadian Indian x Siberian
Siblings:  Tank & Trinity

Birthday – June 18th, 2015

Morpheus is a sensitive old soul who prefers to spend his time with his human pack. He’s a people pleaser, and is known in the kennel for his amazing hugs. Morpheus would do well in a home where he is the only pet and can soak up all the attention for himself.

Tank

Age: 7
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Canadian Indian x Siberian
Siblings: Morpheus & Trinity

Birthday – June 18th, 2015

Tank tries his very best to live up to his namesake. While he thinks he is as “tough as a tank”, his two-legged friends would say otherwise. Tank is looking for someone to teach him the ins & outs of being a house dog. Are you ready to adventure with Tank?

Torque

Age: 9-10 (exact birthdate unknown)
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Alaskan Husky

Birthday – 2013

Torque is a majestic boy and he knows it! This boy knows how to keep his coat pristine and is always camera ready. Torque loves to be fed- that applies to both his kibble feed and his ego (seriously though- please tell him he’s a good strong boy everyday!). Torque says only belly rub experts need to apply.

Ukka

Age: 7-8 (exact birthdate unknown)
Shyness: 5 (very shy)
Breed:
Unknown

Birthday – 2015

Ukka has had a rough past prior to joining our pack, but you wouldn’t know it! He loves nothing more than romping around with the most playful pups during free run! He decided he would rather relax than pull a sled, so he’s up for early adoption. Ukka would be a fantastic hiking companion and has energy in the tank to pull you up those mountains!

Female Husky Heroes Looking for a Furever Home

Ash

Age: 4
Shyness: 2 (fairly outgoing)
Breed:
Seppala Siberian
Siblings: Juniper, Tamarack, Aspen, and Maple

Birthday – February 16, 2019

While her siblings love to compete for the centre of attention, Ash prefers to stay away from the crowds and do her own thing. It might take a couple of visits for Ash to come out of her shell, but she promises her cuddles/kisses are worth the wait.

Retiring early due to heart condition. Please contact our Adoption Coordinator for more information.

Camaro

Age: 7
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Seppala Siberian

Birthday – December 9, 2015

Camaro’s philosophy is to live life at a leisurely pace. She may not exactly live up to her namesake, but she is reliable and will get you to your destination at her own speed (with lots of sniffs along the way).  All she asks for is lots of belly rubs and lots of hugs.

Chanel

Age: 10
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Canadian Inuit x Siberian
Siblings: Hugo, Dior, Coco

Birthday – May 27, 2013

Chanel is Snowy Owl’s very own resident “woo girl.” This designer gal is always ready to show everyone how excited she is to party! But as much as she loves to socialize, she also loves her downtime. Getting enough beauty sleep is crucial to Chanel’s daily routine. Party hard, relax even harder is Chanel’s mantra!

Coco

Age: 10
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Canadian Inuit x Siberian
Siblings: Hugo, Dior, Chanel

Coco loves to flaunt some of the wildest hair in the kennel! Just like her designer namesake- Coco is all about style!

This beauty is a sweetheart that does well with other four legged friends and children.

Dior

Age: 10
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)

This designer gal is pretty and she knows it!  Dior is an absolute sweetheart who enjoys spending time with all of her four-legged and two-legged coworkers. This girl enjoys all the comforts life has to offer. While Dior may not be up for climbing mountains, she would happily spend her time doing low-key hikes and receive all the bum scratches from her humans. Dior is ready to hang up her harness and experience all the luxuries retirement has to offer!

Franzi

Age: 7
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Alaskan husky

Birthday – 2015

Franzi wishes she could still take guests on dog sledding adventures, but unfortunately her body is telling her it’s time to hang up that harness early. Franzi is now super excited to take her new family on some low key adventures and spend her days getting bum scratches.

Jet

Age: 11
Shyness: 5 (very shy)
Breed:
Siberian Husky
Sister: Joan

Birthday – Spring 2012

Nicknamed the ‘mice’ of the kennel, Jet and her sister Joan are two peas in a pod! They can usually be found cuddling in a house during free run or taking the occasional stroll to say hello to their favourite humans. These ladies may take some extra time to warm up to new people but once you win them over you’ll be friends for life!

Joan

Shyness: 4 (shy)

Siberian Husky
Sister: Jet

Joan and her sister Jet are affectionately known as the ‘mice’ of the kennel. They are fantastic lead dogs and love nothing more than to run together or cuddle in a dog house. These two ladies would love to be adopted as a pair and would be best suited for a female companion. They will definitely be shy at first, but with time their quirky sides will shine!

Any treehuggers out there wishing a tree could hug you back? Well, this tree pup is up to that task! Juniper loves her humans and spends most of her free time soaking up all the attention. Juniper is looking to plant her roots with a family that loves some laid back nature exploration. She prefers to be the sole focus of her humans and would be best suited for a household that does not have any other four-legged friends.

Ketea

Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Canadian Indian x Siberian
Sibling: Kraken

Birthday – June 20th, 2013

She may not be the best guard dog out there, but Ketea has quite the stranger danger radar! All bark and no bite, Ketea always makes sure the kennel staff is a aware when there are visitors. Majority of the time, Ketea is so quiet you wouldn’t know she was there. Ketea loves to spend her days sleeping, sunbathing and playing with her canine friends.

Khaki

Age: 9
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)

Alaskan Husky
Sibling: Sister – Lace

Birthday – June 2, 2014

A very intelligent girl, Maple is looking forward to learning all those house-dog tricks that her two-legged friends go on about.

Retiring early due to heart condition. Please contact our Adoption Coordinator for more information.

Odyssey

Age: 10
Shyness: 3 (a little shy)
Breed:
Seppala Siberian

Birthday – August 16, 2013

While the word Odyssey is defined as a long adventurous journey, this sweet girl is hoping that finding her new family won’t take long at all! Odyssey can be shy when meeting new people, but it doesn’t take long to get her out of her shell. Odyssey can’t wait for a companion to join her on all her adventures.

Teegan

Age: 8 or 9 years old (Exact date of birth unknown.)
Shyness: 1 (outgoing, not shy at all)
Breed:
Alaskan Husky

Like half of the bow valley, Teegan moved from “On-terrible” to pursue that mountain lifestyle.

In her retirement, Teegan is looking for a family that will continue to show her a great time in the mountains at a leisurely pace.
