There is a litter of sweet German Shepherd mix puppies who are ready to find their forever homes now. These little ones are full of love, energy, and potential — they just need someone to give them a chance.

They’ve been raised with care and are now looking for families who can offer them the love, stability, and companionship they deserve. Whether you're looking for a loyal hiking buddy, a cuddle companion, or a future best friend — one of these pups could be the perfect fit.

It’s time for these beautiful souls to start their next chapter. Please consider opening your heart and home.

From our friends in Fairview

Keep your pets out and away from bodies of water that have blue green algae.
When in bloom this algae can be deadly to your pet if they drink the contaminated water.
When in doubt check the provincial website to see which lakes have been reported to have blue green algae.

Stay away from the alsike!

Alsike clover poisoning in horses can lead to death. Every summer we treat horses for alsike clover poisoning. It can be a very serious toxicosis and depending on the amount eaten can lead to the death of a horse. Not every horse on a pasture will be affected as some will selectively eat alsike clover over other forages. Alsike can have a white, pink or red flower. It can be differentiated from red or white clover as alsike clover leaves do not usually have a white water mark and the flower stem originates from the main stem off the main stalk as separate leaflet stems. Unfortunately most of the clover you see in the peace area is alsike clover.
Signs and symptoms:
* Scabs or scratches (sunburn) on faces and hooves, most notable on white hides
* Unexplained weight loss
* Altered behavior - often sleepiness, weakness or aggression
Pasture management is the best preventative measure that can be taken. There is a common misconception that clover is fine once it is dry and in hay but it can still have toxic effects in this state. When buying hay inquire about clover and look through the bales.
If you have questions or concerns, please talk to our large animal team, 250-782-1080. Click the link below to read Dr. Zoe's article on our website concerning alsike poisoning.
If caught early the prognosis for most horses is great. More severe cases require a lot of extra care and time to see if they will recover.

We believe in the spectrum of care - meeting you and your pet where you're at, offering a variety of options for their well-being. In this economy, discussing different options should be the norm. It's your right to ask questions, and we encourage it at our clinic. We pride ourselves on open communication and dedicated support. ❤️🐾
