Was your New Year's resolution to be more active? We can help you with that! 🐾

Our Tails in Motion team will once again be taking part in this year's Blue Nose Marathon and we're kicking it all off next Tuesday with a launch party at Nine Locks Brewery. 🍻

Don't worry - there won't be any running that night, but there will be some yummy snacks, good drinks, and prizes to be won (including three FREE race entries to the Blue Nose Marathon).

So, what do you say? Want to join a team of fun animal-lovers looking to have a good time and make a difference?

RSVP today: https://bideawhile.org/tails-in-motion-kick-off-event/

Where were we in 2016? Still in the same building helping cats and dogs in need.

Our adoption photos might have gotten a bit of a glow-up but our passion of caring for animals still remains the same. ❤️

Adoption Update: Nutmeg (Now Selina)

"We renamed Nutmeg to Selina, she's doing great!

She's a lovable, playful, curious gal. She loves sleeping in her cat tree but also loves the box it came in. Selina carries her toys around the house to find you and play, it's adorable. She loved the Christmas tree and she knew she was the best gift under it."
