Cochrane & Area Humane Society

Cochrane & Area Humane Society Meet your new best friend at the Cochrane & Area Humane Society! Dogs receive training and behaviour assistance to make them good canine citizens.

The Cochrane & Area Humane Society provides food, shelter, medical care and the opportunity for adoption for unwanted, surrendered, lost and unclaimed animals, while promoting responsible pet ownership through educational programs, rural spay/neuter programs and public fundraising events. At the Cochrane & Area Humane Society, homeless animals receive food, shelter, medical care, spay/neuter surgery, permanent identification and the chance for adoption into a new home. Lost pets are reunited with their guardians and the Society creates humane education programs to promote responsible pet guardianship. Children participate in Day Camps and victims of domestic violence are helped through the Pet Safe Program. Each year thousands of people call or come through our doors to surrender, adopt, claim lost pets, volunteer, seek advice, training or assistance, utilize our resource centre, attend humane education programs or make donations. We take in approximately 1,100 animals every year and are happy that we are able to successfully place or return home over 90% of them.

Alice the Sweetheart
is a gentle, independent lady with a soft charm all her own. She enjoys being near her people, especially from a cozy perch up high or a sunny window where she can quietly observe the world go by.
Alice values her independence but still loves being part of the rhythm of home life in her own calm way.
She’s currently on a weight loss journey, so she’s looking for a committed adopter who can support her health and help her feel her very best. With the right balance of care, routine, and cozy spaces, Alice will thrive as a peaceful and loving companion!

Marley is a sweet, soulful lady with a wise, old-soul charm. She’s learned that the best things in life are simple, staying close to her trusted people and enjoying a good snack or two. Loyal and attentive, Marley is the kind of dog who keeps all eyes on you, always happiest when she’s by your side. Marley prefers to be the only dog in the home and has no interest in making canine friends, she’s perfectly content soaking up all the love herself. She’s looking for a calm home with children 15+ who can respect her boundaries and appreciate her gentle, devoted nature. In return, Marley will be a steady, loving companion who brings warmth and quiet joy to your days!

Meet Darren!
Darren is a total people-lover and a certified purr machine who’s happiest when he’s soaking up attention. He adores his humans and likes to show his appreciation with small love nips—his own special way of saying “I adore you.” Because of this, Darren is best suited to a home with children aged 15 and up as the small kids don’t get it! And none of those pesky dogs! He’s also on an important weight-loss journey, so a family committed to continuing his healthy routine is a must. If you’re looking for an affectionate, playful and chatty companion with a big heart and even bigger purrs, Darren is ready to meet you!

Darren is currently staying with a foster family, please contact the adoption team at 403-932-2072 ext. 113 for more information!

Croissant is a wonderful mama who’s finished raising her kittens and is now ready for a forever home of her own. She’s sweet, chatty, and loves being around people, but also has an independent side. Croissant would be happy to share her space with a cat-savvy dog, but she’d prefer to be the only cat. This friendly girl is the perfect mix of affectionate and self-sufficient!
