🚨LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME 🏡 🚨

Felian is growing up fast and she's still in rescue and that's never something we want to happen.
We want her to grow up in her forever home🏡

This poor girl was rescued from Manitoulin Island...the owners could not find any place for the rest of her litter to go, so the other 5 litter mates were "disposed of". That information was not found out until she was being picked up. 5 innocent lives that didn't ask to be born lost their lives at 12 weeks of age because homes couldn't be found for them.

Going to preach this from the pulpit‼️
If you think breeding your dog 🐕 is a good idea 💡, THINK AGAIN.
This whole scenario of someone thinking they can make a few extra $$ and then realizing that they can't even give the puppies away.

FELIAN 🩷 is alive though and she's here in the Parry Sound area being fostered and she needs to find her forever home 🏡.
She's 5 months old
She will not 🚫 be a big girl.
She's 31 pounds right now.
She's had all her vaccines.
The only thing that I can tell you that she has in her for sure is Aussie but her fur is not long though..she definitely has the merle colouring.

FELIAN is SMART as a whip!
Could see agility training in this girl's future if her new home was keen on it.
She also is a big suck 🩷
She's done her potty training
She loves car rides and could be your new ride or die companion.
She is growing up with cats 🐈‍⬛, kids and loves visiting with the neighbour dog.
She's doing well with her leash skills.
Good with people. Super friendly.
She actually "smiles" 😁...gotta love that.

What is a good home for Felian❓
She would do well in an active home 🏡 and would be an amazing hiking 🥾companion.
She has an active breed in her so getting exercise and the appropriate stimulants will be a must for her.
This sweet girl has so much potential.

Let's find this girl a home 🏡

*FELIAN is not old enough to be spayed yet so she will be under a spay contract with us. Her spay is INCLUDED in her adoption fee and when she is old enough to be spayed, we will be arranging for the spay to happen and paying for it.

🚨KATY-KAT IS ADOPTED🚨

Honestly, foster fails are THE BEST‼️
They are a win/win situation for both the animal 🐾and the foster family ❤️.
When Cottage Paws Rescue 🐾 was asked to help with an abandoned cat 🐈, the plea came from a few individual parties. The situation was very heartbreaking as well as complex...most animals that we animals that we are asked to help out with are not 🚫 simple rescues these days.
There are many sides of the story and our primary interest will always be in the well being of the animal. Thank you also to the landlord for advocating for the cat too and not just opening the door and saying "not my problem". The landlord was feeding the cats.
Bottom line was that Katy-Kat 🐈‍⬛ needed help. We were able to get her out of the home and spayed & vaccinated the very next day ‼️
And we had a foster home 🏡 waiting for her.
It's also not often that the sun ☀️, the moon 🌙 and all the stars ✨line up like this 🤷
Katy-Kat was just supposed to be a short term foster and she was a good candidate for Toe Beans Cat Cafe after she was all healed from her spay.
Turns out that Katy-Kat 🐈‍⬛ fit in perfectly to their home.
Her foster mom quickly realized that Katy was ALREADY HOME 🏡.
Katy has 2 new cat sisters and has bonded with the younger one named Izzy and they are inseparable.

Thank you 🙏🏿 Elaine for stepping up and fostering this sweet girl.
You made it possible for us to act quickly and help her.

We are so happy about this Foster WIN 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We know that Katy-Kat 🐈‍⬛ is going to have the BEST new life.

🚨NEW HANDSOME DUDE🚨

Welcome PUGSLEY to Cottage Paws Rescue 🐾.
He sure is a big handsome hunk of a boy ♥️

This boy was an indoor/outdoor cat 🐈 that was being rehomed on a fb site. There were quite a few reasons *why* they were rehoming him and it could have been solved by keeping him inside - he's a nice cat. The whole discussion got crazy with huge opinions and of course the age old debate that once a cat goes outside, they can't be kept in. Bottom line is there are so many dangers outside for cats when they are left to roam that we can't control. It's a very fun life for a cat until it isn't and they *always* come home 🏡 until they don't and when they don't come home 🏡 it's never good.

Happy to say that Pugsley is INSIDE and will be living inside from now on and he's not 🚫 the least bit upset about it 🤷.
Pugsley is neutered - we were told that he was vaccinated when he was neutered and then again a year ago but there is no proof so we are taking care of that. He's a lovely hunk of a boy and has settled into his foster home 🏡nicely and loves head bumps and tummy rubs and isn't hiding anymore. He's believed to be 3ish years old.
Thank you 🙏🏿again Mindy & Kevin for stepping up so quickly to foster this boy.

Stay tuned....PUGSLEY will be up for adoption real soon.

Can't wait to see this boy's GLOW 🌟 UP 💙

🚨RAINY ☔ DAY SHENANIGANS🚨

Bama hijacked the car 🚗 for a Tim Hortons ☕ run and of course Papa was game - these boys LOVE car 🚗 rides and they travel well.

They got back home 🏡 and what better way then to spend a day on the couch 🛋️? These boys are couch potatoes...
Papa hijacked the channel changer 📺 and ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN is the movie 🎥🍿 of choice.

These boys are GOOD BOYS
These boys are CHILL BOYS
These boys are LAY ON THE COUCH 🛋️ all day boys
They are FATHER AND SON
They are BIG BOYS ....
They are BIG GENTLE BOYS
These boys NEED to find their FOREVER HOME 🏡.

It will be a year on June 26 since they came into our care.
1 whole year of waiting patiently.
1 year in foster care is TOO LONG
Amy & Alex (primary foster home) and Mary (secondary foster home when Amy & Alex are away) have all been wonderful fosters for these 2 boys.
The thing is ❓❓
Amy & Alex and Mary are all being "tied" up and can't take on other fosters because they aren't adopted. BOTH of these homes 🏡are experienced fosters and we need for them to be available for other dogs.
20 days and it will be a year for them....

The right person hasn't seen 👀them yet.
We KNOW the right person for these two boys is out there‼️
Please help us find these GOOD BOYS their forever home 🏡.

🚨HAPPY CAT-URDAY 🚨
From PerfectlyJoey
Joey was rescued as a small kitten 🐈 from a Quebec shelter euthanasia list. He's a tail pull kitty but unlike most tail pull kitties, Joey is not paralyzed in his back legs. The only thing different about Joey is that he requires his bladder to be manually expressed 2x a day. Other than that he's a normal kitten 🐈 with personality plus. Joey is still looking for his very own forever home 🏡

🚨L👀K WHO WE HAVE 🚨

It's OFFICIAL ♥️
Please welcome MAGGIE into Cottage Paws Rescue.

For those of you that didn't see previous posts; Maggie was a stray dog on the run in and around Parry Sound. She was using the HWY 400, HWY 518, Oastler Park Drive and McDougall Rd to get around - she was walking in the middle of the roads and narrowly escaped being hit by cars 🚗 every time she was on the run and moving around.
When we say it's a miracle that she's alive, WE MEAN IT.
Maggie had 9 plus lives!
Cottage Paws Rescue 🐾 was notified of her and Tory and myself went out and saw her multiple times but she was clearly in fight flight freeze mode and was not going to go to anyone. We set up some food where we'd last seen her at a home that was in the clearing in the bush. The owners were onboard to help and we called it a night.
We brought in the amazing Kellie Revell that has helped us track and successfully secure multiple other dogs in the past. Kellie does this every day and is a wealth of knowledge with the behaviours of a dog on the run.
The next day Jennifer was out tracking , and talking to people in the area making them aware of this lost dog.
Tory and I continued later that night and set up cameras and a food station where she was last seen.
The next morning we got word that she was back at the house in the clearing in the woods and she was sticking around. Tory went out and Kellie spoke directly with the home owners and instructed them on *how to* proceed. We also confirmed by video chat this dog was NOT 🚫 the lost dog named Abby from Farms. We are sorry that Abby is still missing :(
Anna & Kevin (the home owners ) worked so hard at gaining Maggie's trust and they were rewarded with Maggie wanting them to pet her.

We had to do the right thing and the right thing was to take Maggie to bylaw to complete her stray hold.
It literally broke all of our hearts to do it but it had to be done. Maggie was terrified in bylaw but they were so kind and took very good care of her.

And now we have her back and Maggie can officially start her new life TONIGHT.
Thank you 🙏🏿 to Tory for spear heading the search and the check ins with Maggie, thank you 🙏🏿 Jen for your help in the search and also to Kellie for sharing your expertise with us.
And thank you 🙏🏿 to Anna & Kevin for being adamant to foster Maggie and welcome her back to your home 🏡.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Pet Valu- Parry Sound for the dog food, collar and leash for Maggie.

Maggie can finally decompress. She's on antibiotics to prevent an infection (she had porcupine quills in her mouth) We've got her on probiotics and bone broth to help heal her stomach microbiome. She's in a calm environment and she trusts Kevin and Anna.
She will need to be spayed (of course she isn't spayed 🤦) and she will need her vaccines.

We don't know Maggie's past story or why or how she ended up in our small town but we will be here to give her a NEW story.

Welcome to your new life MAGGIE - we can't wait to see your Glow 🌟 up 🩷

🚨WEDNESDAY ON A WEDNESDAY🚨

Our wee little girl that came to us still with her blue 💙 eyes is thriving and growing. Her eyes have now changed to a yellow so she's most likely hit close to the 6 weeks of age mark.
Wednesday was on a local Facebook site saying she had to be "gone by the end of the day" .
She was far too young to be away from her mother or siblings.
Thank you Mindy and Kevin for moving mountains to get to this tiny wee kitten and pick her up. Thank you 🙏🏿 for giving her a safe environment for her to grow in.

Wednesday 🖤 will be spayed and vaccinated at the appropriate ages and then she will be available for adoption.
Stay tuned ..this girl still has some growing to do!
Until then, enjoy all the kitten 🐈‍⬛ cuteness overload.
Black 🖤 cats are honestly the BEST.

🚨WINNIE UPDATE 🚨

Our sweet Winnie 🩷 is recovering well from her spay on Friday.
For this girl that was a momma to many many puppies that cycle has just ended and she can now "dog"

Thank you Page for spoiling Winnie and taking such good care of her - she lost a lot of blood during her spay :(and was pretty weak.

We have another appointment on June 8th to remove her sutures 🪡
At that time, if she's given the go ahead healthwise, Winnie 🩷 will be available for adoption.
Her foster mom, Page has been taking Winnie for lots of car 🚗 rides and apparently every stop 🛑 sign that they stop at, Winnie and that smooshie face of hers has been winning hearts ♥️.
Page has been yelling out the window, she will be up for adoption soon at Cottage Paws Rescue 🐾

The glow 🌟 up has begun for this girl and we can't wait to see what her new life (without having a litter of puppies every 6 months) is going to look like.

Stay tuned .......

🚨IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR🚨

On June 26th, 2025 Papa & Bama came into our care at Cottage Paws Rescue 🐾.

2 boys that have been through so much change in their lives.
It's not 🚫 fair that their owners split up; it's not 🚫 fair that their owner became incarcerated, it's not 🚫 fair that they were dropped off at a family member's house to be looked after, it's not 🚫 fair that when Papa and Bama left the property with one of their dogs that no one came to retrieve them out of bylaw.
The dogs are microchipped.
They knew they were there.
They said they'd come and they didn't.
They played the game for 30 days and then they stopped answering the phone and ghosted.
Not cool....not fair....not ok.
No, it's not 🚫 fair that all these events happened in a short time ⏰and Papa and Bama paid the price.

They are just good ole boys that just want a soft couch 🛋️ to lay on and to watch Netflix 🎥with you. They want to go for those car 🚗 rides with you and are happy to hang out wherever you are. They just want to be with you.
They are good natured big boys.

One year in rescue is too long ⏰
They are taking up a space with a very experienced foster couple that could be helping with harder foster cases if Papa & Bama were adopted.
Papa and Bama are not 🚫 hard dogs.

I feel like a broken record....
Please please please let's find these boys a forever home 🏡 this month. Let's not 🚫 let them stay in foster for a whole year.
