At Humane Society Dawson, our priority is to find suitable homes in the Klondike Region. Keeping adoptions local means that humans and animals can visit and really get to know each-other before a commitment is made. It also means that HSD staff are on hand to help out with any “bumps in the road”. However, location is not the only factor we take into account when homing an animal, and if no suitable match can be found in the Klondike, we will look to adopting to a home elsewhere in the Yukon that fits with the individual’s personality and lifestyle.
Adoptions to homes outside of the Klondike are subject to a couple of extra clauses:
Prior to the adoption, there will a phone interview between the adopter and the HSD coordinator, followed by an in-person visit of the adopter to the HSD shelter, so that the adopter can meet the animal prior to any commitment.
After the adoption, and the animal is delivered to its new home, should there be any issues, problems, or the adoption is not working out, the animal will be returned to HSD in the safest way possible at the owner’s expense. If this occurs within 30 days of the adoption date, a refund will be issued.
SKY is still looking for her forever home!
She is about 12 weeks old now, female, has had her first round of shots and deworming.
Sky is a fearless little pup, leader of the pack, playful and social. She’s afraid of nothing!
She’s learning loads of different things and is a fast learner, she already mastered sit and does pretty good when she goes for walks on leash, but as any puppy her age she’ll need someone to continue working with her so she can be a well behaved and adjusted dog!
Sky is treat motivated which is a great for positive reinforcement training! She loves to be cuddled and meet new friends. At the shelter she’s already been exposed to older dogs, children and has responded pretty well to those interactions.
If you are looking for your new best friend please call the shelter to come and meet Sky, we know her person is out there!

Adopting a puppy is a big responsibility it takes TIME, PATIENCE and TRAINING! Ask yourself do I have what it takes?
ASTER
Aster is a spayed female, coming up to 8 years old. She would make a fantastic adventure buddy. And needs her daily exercise for her to be a happy girl!
She’s loving and loyal to her family, but with a tendency to be over-protective of the individuals she feels need her protection the most. She can be nervous of some strangers and anxious around children.
Aster is well behaved on trails and has a good recall. She as attended our training courses, and was good at them but she needs someone consistent that can work on reinforcement and practice.
She’s good with many confident high energy dogs, as long as she’s allowed her space while getting to know them. But would be better suited to be the only dog in the house. She has some experience of living with cats, but has proved to be unpredictable with them.
Most of all Aster wants to find someone who can love her and give her all the care she needs!
If you are that person please contact the shelter at 867 993 6900 or email us at shelter@hsdawson.com
Note Aster is being fostered at the moment so you will need to reach out to the shelter first in order to meet her

Help her find a home by spreading the word out!
