All he wants is to be close to you, soaking up your company and offering quiet companionship. He's a little shadow in the making, always happiest when he's by your side.Rex also enjoys his walks and gets a boost of confidence from being out in the fresh air, taking in the world at his own pace.

Story
Age: 5 years oldWeight: 12.9kg / 28lbA little bit about Myla:- Unknown history with children; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- Unknown history with cats and other small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Unknown history with other dogs; potential for another dog in home pending successful introductionMeet Myla! This beautiful Lab Retriever and Coonhound mix came to the shelter as a devoted mom to her pup Lil Bandit while both were recovering from parvo. Lil Bandit has since found his forever home and now it is Myla’s turn. Myla is a gentle, affectionate girl who thrives on companionship and is struggling with the shelter environment, especially when left alone.She is looking for a home full of love, patience, and fun that can provide her with plenty of enrichment, daily activity, and support as she builds confidence being on her own for short periods. As a mix of two energetic and intelligent breeds, Myla will benefit from scent-based games, puzzle feeders, outdoor adventures, and opportunities to stretch both her brain and her legs.Myla already has a heart full of love and is ready to share it with her new people. If you are looking for a loyal companion and are ready to help this sweet girl blossom, Myla may be your perfect match.

Story
Hi, I'm Moose-but don't let the name fool you, I'm more cuddle bug than forest beast. Sure, I've got big energy and even bigger charm, but I promise not to eat your shrubbery (unless it smells really interesting).I moose-t admit, I love my people-a lot. Like, follow-you-to-the-bathroom-to-make-sure-you're-okay kind of love. I'm playful, adorable, and have mastered the art of looking like a teddy bear with zoomies. Got a dog at home who can handle a little enthusiasm and doesn't mind the occasional paw-to-the-face invitation to play? Great! Let's set up a meet and sniff!Come find me at the Edmonton Humane Society, and let's start our next big antler-I mean, chapter-together!
