Fundraiser Raffle for Wylder 🐾

Wylder is a rescue pup who recently needed emergency eye removal surgery after being rescued from a breeder who could not afford her care. Sadly, she suffered for 5 weeks before getting the surgery she desperately needed to finally be pain-free.

I put the $2,500 surgery on my credit card because she deserved to be saved and given a chance at a healthy, happy life.

To help cover the cost, we are holding a raffle with some amazing baskets:

✨ The Cleaning Purr-fectionist Basket

Includes all-purpose cleaner, Magic Erasers, Scrub Daddies, plus a 2-hour cleaning gift certificate

✨ Guess Purse Basket

Includes a haircut from Studio K

✨ Beauty Basket

✨ Wine Basket

🎟️ Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20

Every little bit helps. Funds raised will go toward Wylder’s $2,500 surgery, her first shots, and if anything extra is raised, it will be donated to Tyson N Friends to help other bullies in need.

Thank you so much for supporting Wylder and helping give her the life she deserves. 🖤

• Which basket(s) you want tickets for

• Your full name

• Phone number

• Pick-up in Bowmanville

Fantastic fosters, Lesley and Simon really enjoy fostering handsome Magnus, but it would bring them great joy to see him find his forever home.

Meet Magnus 🐾

Magnus is a handsome 1.5-year-old Rough Collie cross with a gentle soul and a brilliant mind. This sweet, intelligent boy is looking for a patient and loving home that will help him continue building confidence and feeling safe in the world.

Magnus has made incredible progress with the support of his trainer and is steadily overcoming his fear and reactivity toward other dogs—challenges that began after he was attacked in the past. Despite this, his resilience shines through every day, and with the right guidance, love, and consistency, Magnus is well on his way to becoming his best self.

At home, Magnus is a dream—he’s house-trained, eager to learn, and currently working on his leash skills. More than anything, he wants to bond closely with his person and be your loyal companion. He truly just wants to be your best friend.

Magnus would thrive in a calm, quiet home without young children, as his natural herding instincts can sometimes come into play. A committed adopter will also have access to continued training support to ensure both Magnus and his new family feel confident and set up for success.

Magnus is currently in foster care, so interested individuals are encouraged to make an appointment to meet him and see just how special he is.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion and are ready to help a deserving dog continue his journey, Magnus might just be your perfect match 💛

💔 WE NEED YOUR HELP… 💔

This week, 14 young puppies were dropped on our doorstep — tiny, vulnerable babies who had nowhere else to go. Our shelter staff and volunteers immediately stepped up, doing everything they can to keep these little ones warm, fed, and safe. But the truth is… we can’t do this alone.

These pups require constant care, proper nutrition, and urgent veterinary support. As we approach the end of a year that has already pushed our vet bills to the limit, this unexpected intake has placed an enormous strain on our small organization.

🐾 We are desperately in need of:
• Wet canned puppy food (Performatrin or Royal Canin preferred)
• Puppy milk replacer
• P*e pads
• Monetary donations to cover vetting — vaccines, deworming, spay/neuter surgeries, and medical exams for all 14 puppies

Every dollar, every can of food, every act of kindness will directly help these innocent little lives who had no choice in the situation they were born into.

✨ Adoption Update:
These puppies will be available for adoption once fully vetted and ready for their new beginnings. Please stay tuned — we’ll share more information soon on when we’ll be accepting applications for these lovable little ones.

If you are able to help, please visit our website to make a monetary donation, or drop off supplies at the shelter.

🙏 From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.
Your compassion makes all the difference for pets who cannot speak for themselves.
