Do you have an old kennel you're no longer using and would like to see it put to good use? We are particularly short on MEDIUM and LARGE plastic kennels for our upcoming spay/neuter clinic in June. (No wire kennels, please!)

We have Drop Off locations in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Lloydminster. Message us if you've got an old kennel that's just collecting dust that you want to get rid of!

Ticks are out in full force in Saskatchewan. It's time for TICK TALK!

- Many tick medications require a prescription from a veterinary clinic - which means your pet must have been a patient at the vet clinic within the last 12 months for them to write a prescription. If you are not a current client of your local vet clinic and your pet has not been seen by them in the last 12 months, you will need to book an appointment to acquire tick meds.

- All tick medication is dosed by weight range, which means you will need to know the approximate weight of your animal. If you are unable to get your pet to a vet clinic for a prescription tick med, an over the counter (OTC) product might be a better fit for you. If you have a weigh scale at home, stand on it and write down your weight. Then, pick up and hold your dog while you're standing on the scale. Subtract your weight from the total weight of you plus your dog and you'll have a good idea of how much your dog weighs.

- Over the counter (OTC) products such as Advantix II can be purchased at most vet clinics or pet supply stores such as PetSmart or Walmart. (**This product is extremely toxic to cats if ingested!**)

Deer Ticks are the most common type of tick in Saskatchewan, however, the Black Legged Ticks that are capable of transmitting Lyme Disease have been recorded in the province. You can submit photos of ticks online to be indentified via etick.ca

Contact your local veterinary clinic to inquire about tick prevention for your pets.

🚨Embedded Collars!🚨

A great way to ensure a dog is identified as owned for many dogs in our partner Nations is collars!
However, it's important to ensure the collar is a proper fit, and a collar is adjusted as a puppy grows.

This boy was a recent recipient of our Emergency Medical Fund after a case of growing faster and bigger than his collar. Left untreated, this could have caused serious damage to his neck. When his family realized the embedded collar, they contacted us and the veterinary clinic immediately for support. He was taken to the vet clinic where the collar was removed and the area was clipped and cleaned. Thankfully they caught this issue soon enough and recovery should be straight forward for this boy!

The family shared the cost of care with us, and took their boy home to heal 🧡

If you are putting a collar on your pet:
1️⃣ If it's a puppy, check the size of the collar once a week while they are growing!
2️⃣ A general rule for collar sizing is that there should be room for two of your fingers to fit between the collar and your dogs neck.

Our Emergency Medical Fund 100% relies on donations.

How can you support our Fund? Donations are always gratefully accepted.

Hickory! Oh Hickory.

After going missing from home for over 3 days, Hickory came home to his family with some pretty severe wounds. We aren't 100% sure what happened to this guy, but based on the puncture wounds he was likely attacked by a large bird that was trying to get him for lunch.

Hickory was first taken to Park Range Veterinary Services where he was clipped, cleaned, and the long process of starting to close his large wounds began.

Given the size of the wound and the real tricky placement, we had to take Hickory back to a vet clinic 3 additional times. The cost of care for him added up quite quickly.

His family recognized their limits of being able to provide the extensive care and financial cost to ensure Hickory heals, and ultimately they made the difficult decision to surrender him and trust us with their sweet boy 🧡

With a whole lot of healing left to do, Hickory made his way to Cochrane & Area Humane Society late last week to continue his journey! Godspeed, Hickory boy!

Our Emergency Medical Fund was created to simply help animals get urgent veterinary care when they need it.

This sweet mama delivered 9 puppies, but was clearly struggling and had another 3 pups inside that she was unable to deliver. Our team rushed her to Lloydminster Animal Hospital where they removed the 3 pups who were unfortunately deceased, and were able to spay mama during that emergency surgery as well. Two additional pups passed shortly after and crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈

Mama and her 7 healthy babies were able to get to our friends at Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society - AARCS where they will be cared for until they're ready to find their forever homes!

We're grateful for our partners in this work, like Lloyd Animal Hospital and AARCS, who provide critical services, financial support and a safe place for animals to land at the end of the day. They really do make it possible for us to say 'yes' when dogs like this need help. 🧡

Complications during pregnancy and labour can easily happen. They can become costly to the owner and cause serious harm or death to the animal.
Best way to prevent it? Spay your pets before an emergency happens!

Can you helpsupport the cost of care for our Emergency Medical Fund cases?
