Sled Dog Tours
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.
Male Husky Heroes Looking for a Furever Home
Fender
Shyness: 2 (not shy)
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
Shyness: 3 (a little shy)
Breed: Siberian Racing Husky
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!
Morpheus
Shyness: 2 (a little shy)
Breed: Canadian Indian x Siberian
Sibling: Brother – Tank
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.
Siblings – Tank & Trinity
Tank
Shyness: 1 (not shy)
Breed: Canadian Indian x Siberian
Sibling: Brother – Morpheus
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?
Siblings – Trinity & Morpheus
Ukka
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
Allura
Shyness: 1 (not very shy)
Breed: Seppala Siberian
Siblings: Katana
Birthday – October 4th, 2013
Just like her sister Katana, Allura is small and sweet! Allura loves playtime with her canine friends. When she is not running around the yard with her pals, Allura is pretty content to do her own thing. Allura can’t wait to find a family to go adventuring with and show her what retired life is all about!
Camaro
Shyness: 1 (not very shy)
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.
Dior
Shyness: 1 (not very shy)
Breed: Canadian Inuit x Indian x Siberian
Birthday – May 27, 2013
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
Shyness: 1 (not shy)
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
Shyness: 5 (very shy)
Breed: Siberian Husky
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)
Breed: Siberian Husky
Birthday – Spring 2012
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!
