About
We give dogs the most important ride of their life. Founded in 2012, our volunteer-based charity has transported close to 2,500 dogs across North America and internationally that are at the threat of being euthanized. Working in partnership with shelters, we identify and transport dogs on buses, cars and planes to pre-qualified homes in Alberta and the Eastern Region of B.C. When our dogs have adjusted from their journey and settled into their foster homes, they are either adopted by the foster or become available for adoption.
We are addressing an international crisis about shelter over-populations, owner dog surrenders and discriminatory breed specific legislation. We believe that every dog deserves a new leash on life.
We consistently seek fosters, funds, partners and volunteers.

Our Values
We strive to end the suffering of companion animals everywhere.
We aim to find the right home for every animal in our care and will not quit until every animal is placed.
We endeavour to support anyone who needs help in caring for their pets. Life happens and we understand.
We believe the emotional and physical well-being of every animal we look after is paramount and is our first consideration.

Just about the best dog out there! This 8-month-old mixed breed is full of energy and love. She loves to cuddle in bed and on the couch.
Addy has excellent recall and will be able to be off leash in quiet areas very soon. Addy can sit, lie down, touch (boops your open palm with her nose), shake, spin, kisses (gives kisses on command), she knows up and down, for on and off furniture. She sleeps through the night. She will have to learn not to try to meet everyone and every dog she sees.
She is learning her manners very quickly. She walks great on leash! And does well with short interactions with other dogs. She likes rough play off leash, so she will need to be supervised and taught to respect other dogs' boundaries; even when greeting other dogs Addy is a great listener.
she doesn't bark at all unless another dog really close to her is barking directly at her. She's quiet when people come and go and when people are moving and talking outside and around the house.
She's a strong chewer, but knows not to chew anything other than her toys, a large bully bone and a tug rope will be her favourite toys!
She can jump when greeting people, so a home with small children is not encouraged unless her adopter is willing to work on her jumping, however she is getting better at not jumping up by the day.
She is easily excitable during play time and can get mouthy (light mouthing), she is a puppy after all! She is getting less mouthy by the day and knows drop it and no.
She's a high energy dog, she's been getting two 45-minute walks a day and endless chewing on bones.
