🚨 DAY 1 OF SHARING PARKER UNTIL HE FINDS HIS FOREVER HOME

This handsome guy is looking for his forever home… and we’re making it our mission to find it 💛

Parker is:
🐾 10 years
🐾 Beagle
🐾 People? Obsessed. Lap? Claimed. Love? Unlimited.
🐾 Loves other dogs and thrives in a social setting. No cats for this dude! He was gentle meeting my kidds.

But what really matters? He lost his dad and has been waiting… and waiting… and he deserves his person.

Over the next few days, we’re going to show you exactly why Parker is SO special 🐶

👉 Follow along, share his posts, and help us get him home.

Because somewhere out there… someone is his person or family.

He is currently being fostered in Aylesford, Nova Scotia.

💔I almost lost my dog because of something that could have 100% been prevented and that breaks my heart.
👉If you know me, you KNOW there is absolutely no worries that I’d ever let my dog get pregnant. I work in rescue and I see firsthand how many unwanted dogs and pups there already are. But there’s another HUGE reason to spay your female dog and not put it off… and that’s pyometra.

My girl Bailey is 9 years old and recently developed pyometra, a life-threatening uterine infection. Hers had actually ruptured. I’ve known about pyometra for years and that fired me up to get her spayed (obviously). We had appointments booked… and then life happened. Bills came up. Other emergencies happened. She went into heat. Then she needed to lose weight first. It was scary, overwhelming, and easy to keep pushing back.

But pyometra is 100% preventable with spay surgery. And in a world where we can’t prevent so many things, this is one thing we can and I didn’t. I advocate for spay/neuter to prevent unwanted litters, but people also need to know that the risk of pyometra rises as dogs get older, and so do the cost and risks of surgery. It is NOT something to wait on “for someday.” I know spaying can be costly, but the price for emergency surgery will be easily $3000+(into the $5000s or more in other places) and the risk of losing your pup. I don't want this post to scare people, but I've been so scared about it happening for a long time and it actually did... 💔

I am unbelievably grateful Bailey is still here, but I almost lost my little shadow because of something that didn’t have to happen. Please learn from me. If you’ve been delaying spaying your girl like I did, don’t wait. They depend on us to protect them. 💛🐾

⚠️ Signs of Pyometra to Watch For

These can appear 2–8 weeks after a heat cycle:
• seems “off,” tired, or not herself
• drinking a LOT more water / peeing more
• not wanting to eat
• vomiting
• swollen or painful belly
• discharge from the v***a (but sometimes there is NONE)
• fever or just acting unwell - shaking, panting

👉 This is an emergency. If you notice these signs, call a vet immediately and say you’re worried about pyometra. Things escalade quick.
👉 Treatment is usually emergency spay surgery.
👉 Spaying prevents it completely.

Foster dog Parker spent his holidays giving back 🐾❤️ Delivering food to those in need, we were able to help fill 3 local community pantries with supplies for families and their furry friends.

Parker is still patiently waiting for his forever home, but in the meantime he’s showing just how big his heart is. None of this would be possible without the generous donations from our amazing clients—we truly appreciate your continued support.

This work is made possible through Buddy’s Help Network, Ellie’s Acres, and Fetch A Dog Rescue. We are always accepting donations of food or monetary donations to help animals in need.

If you or someone you know needs help caring for their animals, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Buddy's Help Network or Ellie’s Acres for assistance/resources.

If you see a neighbour’s animals in the cold, or you’re worried about your own because money is tight, just send a message. We can offer supplies, guidance, or point you to programs that can help.

Asking for help keeps animals safe and families supported.

Please share so more people know help is available.

We are so sorry to see another fire here in Kings County. Old Orchard Inn is extending our Friends and Family Rate (50% off) to our displaced Neighbours. If you are an evacuee from the current evacuation order, we want to help. We will also waive our pet fee, so your whole family is safe tonight.

Have you visited our table at the Lawrencetown Ex yet?! If you have, you'll see a perfect little featured doggy named Parker. He's so desperately searching for a new home after his owner sadly passed away 😔 He would make the BEST FRIEND that you could ever have. Spread the word 💖

Thinking about getting a dog? Please consider adoption.
Every year, thousands of incredible dogs end up in shelters or foster care — not because they did anything wrong, but because life happened.

🏡 When you adopt, you’re not just getting a pet — you’re saving a life and making room for another one to be rescued.
Whether you’re looking for a puppy, a couch potato, a hiking buddy, or a senior snugglebug — they’re all waiting for a second chance.

💔 Meanwhile, breeders continue to profit while so many adoptable dogs wait for homes.

Please adopt, don’t shop.
