About Jed

Jed is loyal and loving!

Jed is a young dog full of play who is looking for his forever home. This boy is equal measures of cuteness and bounce!

This sweet boy walks well on leash, has learned all of his basic commands, and sleeps in his crate overnight. His most favourite activity is playing! As a hound cross, Jed requires a lot of intellectual stimulation as well as physical exercise and would do well in a home where games and puzzle treats can be provided.

While Jed is happy-go-lucky in environments he knows well, he is still working to build his confidence with new people and in new spaces. The key with him is to take all introductions slowly, letting him feel comfortable and safe. This includes a home with securely fenced yard. Once Jed connects, it is love for life! He continuously looks to cuddle with his foster family and loves having his big velvety ears stroked.

This beautiful boy is looking for the perfect family to give him the love and attention he deserves as he continues to grow. Could it be you?

ADOPTING AN ANIMAL THROUGH AARCS
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AARCS believes in the Open Adoptions Methods. We have very few policies for adopters, but look to find great matches for both our pets and potential adopters. We have removed blanket adoption restrictions and believe in treating each adopter and adoption on an individual basis. *Please note that the animals in our care have uncertain pasts. We do our best to guess at age/breed/size, but we can never be certain. We also cannot guarantee health or temperament.
ADOPTION FEES Adoption fees are used to help cover the cost of care (food, training, supplies) and veterinary care of each animal. In almost all cases, they do not cover our costs. Adoption fees are non-refundable as adoption returns take time and resources to process, care for, and adopt again.
ANIMALS IN CARE Animals in Care are on short or long-term medical or behavioural hold and will become available for adoption soon. You can apply for these animals and we may consider a foster-to-adopt or we may hold the animal for you until he/she has been cleared medically or behaviorally. Animal in-care adoptions are at the sole discretion of the organization.
SPAY/NEUTER POLICY All of AARCS animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. This cost is included in our adoption fee.
VACCINATIONS & DEWORMING AARCS provides vaccinations for all animals due while in our care. The adoptive family is responsible for vaccinations and continued deworming that come due after the adoption is completed, which can include on-going treatment for minor ailments such as worms.
RETURN POLICY AARCS accepts all adoption returns barring any unusual circumstances. Returns cannot be dropped off at the shelter unannounced and need to be coordinated through a member of our team. Please note that sometimes the placement of a returning animal can take up to a couple of weeks to accommodate depending on shelter/foster space and the individual needs of a returning animal. We understand that adoptions do not always work out. We encourage adopters to reach out for help if they are having any issues with their newly adopted pet as we can often assist by providing resources for training and advice.
RENTERS Renters/Condo Owners need to confirm with their landlord/condo board that they are allowed a pet and check if there are any restrictions including size, specific dog breeds and pet-related damage deposits.GIFTSWe do not adopt animals as gifts for someone else.
ADOPTION AREA Our policy is to facilitate adoptions in Alberta. Some exceptions have been made when the applicants are within reasonable driving distance. We do not do adoptions outside of Canada, and will not ship animals.
LONG DISTANCE ADOPTION (DOGS) At the discretion of the adoption committee, we may agree in the event of a long-distance adoption, that a dog can go home the same day, but applicants are asked to leave the foster family for a minimum of one hour, then return to the foster home to complete the adoption. All parties must still be in favour of the adoption, including the adoptions committee, foster family, and the prospective adoptive family. We allow for same-day adoption for cats.
OVERNIGHT/TRIAL PERIODS We do not do overnight or trial periods for our animals. As moving homes can be extremely stressful we do not feel this is fair for our animals. As there are often many challenges in the first few days and weeks following an adoption and we hope our adopters would be committed to this process. We on occasion will allow for short visits in the new home depending on the circumstances.
IF YOU HAVE DOGS AND/OR CATS All canine members must be present at the “meet and greet” for adoptable dogs. Cats do not need to attend meet and greets and dogs do not need to attend for adoptable cats. However, we strongly suggest slow introductions if you choose to welcome your new cat into your home.
YYC + YEG Dogs · Adoption Steps The majority of our dogs are located in foster homes in Calgary and area or Edmonton and area. Being housed in a foster home is a great bonus as we have gotten a chance to get to know them in a home environment. We ask that you apply only when you are ready to take home a new pet within one week. We do not hold animals. Please be prepared for your new pet, with food, a bed, toys, and bowls, before he/she comes home.
STEP 1 · Adoption Application To adopt, first complete our adoption application form, which you access through the “Adopt Me!” button in their profile. If you have any issues with our online forms, please contact our Adoption Team at adoptions@aarcs.ca
STEP 2 · Application Review An adoption coordinator will review your application and email you within 24-48 hours to arrange an over-the-phone adoption call before meeting the dog. The team will review the history of the animal as well as any medical care that has been provided. *Please check your spam folder if you haven’t heard from us – we will always reply!
STEP 3 · Application Approval Following the adoption phone call, we will have the foster family contact you within 48 hours to arrange a meet and greet with the dog. We require all family members to be present and if you have another dog in the home to arrange a meeting in a neutral location where the dogs can meet. We ask that these meetings be arranged as soon as possible, and no later than the upcoming next weekend.
STEP 4 · Waiting Period Once you have met the dog/puppy you would like to potentially adopt, we ask that you take a day to think about it. Discuss the adoption openly and fully with all members of the household. Ensure that the dog matches what your family is looking for. If after this time you feel the animal is the right match, please contact the adoption coordinator with your decision at adoptions@aarcs.ca no later than 24 hours after the meeting. We will waive the waiting period for out-of-town adoptions on a case-by-case basis.
STEP 5 · Finalizing Adoption If you, the adoption team, and foster family are in favour of the match you can pick up your new family member the following day, or arrange a mutually beneficial time within one week. At the time of adoption, you will be provided with an adoption package, including a small bag of Hills Science Diet food that we feed while in care.
