My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ARGYLE hails from Fort Severn, a Northern community and came south with her 6 puppies Arisaig,Yamaska, Kokanee, Algonquin, Banff & Makwa (they’re known as the “Provincial Parks” Litter) and she came south to find her forever home. She’s spayed, UtD on vaccines, including a Rabies shot, is microchipped, received 2 doses of “Dolpac” dewormer due to having tapeworm and has been deemed a healthy girl by her Vet. We actually have a video of her with her puppies on the community she came from, which is very rare to see. Although she doesn’t really look like a Husky she does have an undercoat like one so she no doubt has that breed in her. Seeing as she comes from a community with many stray dogs she no doubt has many different breeds in her as well. She’s a very placid, laid back girl who loves her humans and snuggling up with them is one of her favourite things to do. She’s been such a great dog to foster and so well behaved since day one. We feel she had an owner at some point as she knew some basic commands when she arrived. She’s well socialized with people and will excitedly run up to greet them with a wagging tail. ARGYLE is crate trained and will sleep in it quietly at night and also take a nap in it during the day. She’s housetrained and understands that bathroom breaks are for outside. She loves going on walks and wears a collar and harness while on a leash. She loves to have a sniff-a-thon on her walks and will check out every rock, leaf and basically anything she encounters. She loves to chew on her bones and is very susceptible to tasty treats too. She will “sit” for her meals and take treats “gentle.” ARGYLE would love a family who loves the outdoors as much as she does, going on hikes, walks and will take her on adventures with them. She travels well in a vehicle and will just rest in her crate and quietly enjoy being driven around. She’s been very friendly with the dogs she’s met so far so should do well with one in her new home providing they are laid back like she is and not dominant at all. She will have a meet and greet with the family that wants to adopt her including any dog that’s currently in the home to make sure they are a good match. She can be an only dog as long as she’s not left alone for long periods at a time. She hasn’t met a cat so we’re not suggesting she be with one at this time. However, if there’s a cat in the home and it’s dog savvy then that will be considered. She requires a fenced-in yard so she can run around and play while being kept safe. She’s not suitable for apartment life due to her size and exercise needs. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be gentle, loving and caring towards animals.  If ARGYLE sounds like she’d suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her.     Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 13, 2026, 10:22 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt ARGYLE, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
