The resilience of the dogs we bring in is simply amazing ! They are not broken ! They are not something to be discarded or euthanized without being given a chance to heal.

I would like to thank all of our supporters who believe in how we care for our animals. The ones who understand that we have the best interest of the animals at heart . The ones who help us with words of encouragement and kindness . The supporters who help our dogs by sending donations of food, enrichment items and funds.

It was suggested , early on, that we should look at euthanizing Murphy because of all his medical issues and we were also attacked for not doing surgery on his left rear broken leg .

When Murphy came in he had multiple fight wounds, heartworm, broken teeth and had raging infection from all his wounds. Some people would have bowed to the pressure to put him down . We chose not to and stood strong with the advice of our vets . I am so proud of our team for staying the course.

This video and the two that will be in the comments are the reason we chose our path with his medical care, we listened and followed the directions of our vets and the Orthopedic surgeons that we trusted.

Look at this dog now! He is living a vibrant life filled with love , dog and human friends and he above all was able to get to this point with your support. He will want for nothing and have the best care you can imagine. The love he is being given is what has given him so much zest for life. As someone said it's like he is aging backwards .

Thank you to Katriina and Craig for giving Murphy this loving and amazing home !

Thank you all .

Update:

The adopter has been reimbursed for the vetting done at Pembina Veterinary Hospital, thank you so much.

We have recieved about $150.00 in donations , so far for the Grant Park Animal Hospital bill of $1306.00.

We are chipping away at it so every bit counts. We really appreciate your support.

All donations now should be sent directly to Grant Park Animal Hospital at [email protected].

Initial post:

On August 29 th 2024 ,a 5 month old pup came into care and we named him Lucas, aka Monty now. He had parvo , was emaciated and not well.

He was adopted and because he is a large breed dog we agreed with the vet, and the adopter , to wait until he was 18 months to 2 years of age to have him neutered. As such he was neutered at Grant Park Animal Hospital in Winnipeg, our main vet clinic.

His neuter was performed the same as any other neuter and he was well enough to go home. In the early hours of the 10 th September 2025 , two days ago he had to be rushed to the Pembina Veterinary Hospital with serious, unforseen , complications. He had blood clots in his sc***um and his sutures burst. He was in pain and was given medicam for relief and stabilized.

He was transferred back to Grant Park Animal Hospital at 9am and underwent an additional emergency surgery to remove the clots , remove part of his sc***um , and then sutured back up. Yesterday morning he had to return to the clinic to have part of his in incision stapled and given a mild sedative to keep him calm while he heals .

Monty weighs 144 pounds and in doing research there is a rare condition called Sc***um Hematoma , I have enclosed information on this condition in the pictures . It is rare and seems to happen mainly in dogs over 50 kgs in weight, he weighs 64 kgs.

He is resting now and we hope his healing process goes well with no more trips to the vet. He's not a fan !

WE NEED YOUR HELP !!!!!

The Pembina Veterinary Hospital visit was $347.59.

Grant Park Animal Hospital emergency surgery, tests , and treatment is an additional $1306.00.

We need donations sent directly to [email protected] to help us cover his #1306.00 vetting. His neuter on 9 September was already covered by our director through his adoption fee .

The Pembina Veterinary Hospital vetting was covered by his adopter, which needs to be reimbursed . The vetting at Pembina Veterinary Hospital was a direct result of his neuter and must be covered by our rescue in the amount of $347.59. If you wish to donate to this amount please send your donation to [email protected] as she will have to cover the Pembina Veterinary Hospital vetting herself if no donations are recieved.

Grand total for the subsequent vetting required after the neuter was paid is $1653.59.

We are looking for donations to help cover these costs. Any amount or even a share will help us pay off this substantial amount. Please find it in your heart to help us pay down this vet bill.

Thank you in advance for any and all support you can give our rescue for Monty.

This clinic is amazing !

The wait…

is…

over.

Its official: as of September 13th- that’s 10 days from now-at long last, GRANT PARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL WILL BE OPEN SATURDAYS!!!

To commemorate five years of service to our community (that sure flew by), GPAH will now be available to Winnipeg pet owners from 9 to 4, every Saturday, year round.

We understand that our clients can’t always make it in to see us during the week- and after years of requests from our customers, now they won’t have to.

We also appreciate that you want your pet examined by the veterinarians you have come to know and trust, not a stranger you’ve never met at a clinic you’ve never visited.

So get ready for six full days of high-quality, compassionate, affordable vet care from all your favourite vets, techs, and gals up front. We look forward to being there for those of you who count on us, day in and day out, to keep your pets healthy. It is both our privilege and our pleasure.

Please share this post to help us spread this exciting news. See you Saturdays! 😉

I am sharing a reel that was made by a rescue in New Brunswick which features some of our rescued dogs.

There are graphic images that may be hard to watch . These images are necessary so people understand that we , as a society , need to do better.

Also it demonstrates that rescues working together can save more lives.
