TEDDY UPDATE

While he waits for his flight tomorrow, little TEDDY is now safe with rescue friend Danette. He is in pretty rough shape, and unfortunately due to the remoteness of where he is, he cannot immediately be seen by a vet.

He flies into Winnipeg tomorrow around noon, and K9 Advocacy Manitoba will be taking him straight to the vets for medical care. Thanks to everyone who donated to help us cover his flight, and donated towards his vet bills.

As soon as I get any sort of update, I will be sure to share.

❤️ I am forever grateful to our friends at K9 Advocacy for not hesitating to help. You guys are the best. ❤️

This beautiful girl had almost lost all hope as she lay frozen and emaciated on the cold ground.
Her leg was practically hanging off her body. (And this was not a new injury, a vet deternind it had been this way for months).

Despite her horrendous condition, and pain....she held on long enough for a kind rescuer (Valarie) to come across her. This was a sight Valarie will never forget. A dog so hopeless yet hopeful.

Archer has had an amazing journey, and it needs to end with her forever home.

Although she is in Manitoba, if a home throigh another province/rescue is found she could be transported.

Please SHARE her post far and wide! Help her find her people.

Transport to Timmins urgently needed.

We are always in need of volunteer drivers but now we have an URGENT trip that we need to make happen! Kashechewan First Nation is evacuating due to risk of flooding and the volunteers who are staying behind to ensure dogs are fed and cared for need a large supply of dog food. We can provide the food, we just need a driver to get it north!

If you have a truck and trailer and can take a large load of food from Oro-Medonte to Timmins ASAP, please reach out to us through messenger or email [email protected]

#118 WILLOW

Willow is popping right into our saved pups album as funds were available (THANK YOU) from donations to cover her flight.

Willow, originally from Fort Hope, First Nations was saved thanks to the help of Northern Reach Network and has made this journey with a lot of networking, and help!

From feet on the ground who originally got her and her siblings (once pups) to safety, to her flight companion, Maddy Smith who helped her get to Nova Scotia.

Willow is an owner surrender, from another rescue that is no longer operating, so it was all hands on deck to help her find suitable placement.

Although she has been nothing but a good girl since being in care, she is heading to Ace it Canine Academy, where owner Brooke will be working with her to ensure she is set up for success before finding her forever home.

Follow the link before on a beautiful video of her rescue story.....

Happy Life Willow!

A click of a share button can change a dog's life.

Please do it.

Almost a year at the shelter 😢.

PROJECT OVERLOOKED – MISSISSAUGA ANIMAL SERVICES- HOMELESS FOR 259 DAYS: Project Overlooked is a social media campaign dedicated to shining a light on homeless dogs who have been sitting in our local shelters—often for months—without any adoption interest. These dogs have been forgotten, but with your help, we can change their fate.

Learn more about our campaign here: https://bit.ly/ProjectOverlooked

Our province’s shelters are overcrowded, and experiencing the worst homeless dog crisis we have ever witnessed. Many incredible dogs are at risk simply because they’ve been overlooked. As a community of animal lovers, we must come together to help these deserving pups find the loving homes they’ve been waiting for.

How can you help?

It’s simple: share.
Each time we feature a dog from Project Overlooked, we ask that you share their post within your network. The more eyes we get on these dogs, the better chance they have at being seen—and adopted.

Today’s featured dog is Amy.

Amy is a lovable, athletic girl with a heart full of affection and a personality that’s equal parts goofy and sweet. She’s the kind of dog who will win you over instantly with her zest for life and her unwavering loyalty. Amy loves to run, play, and explore—she’s the perfect companion for someone with an active lifestyle. Whether you’re hitting the trails or just tossing a ball around in the backyard, she’ll be right there with you, wagging her tail and soaking up the fun.

While Amy is incredibly friendly with people, she prefers to be the only pet in the home. She’s not a fan of other dogs, but trust us—her charm, intelligence, and love are more than enough to fill your heart (and your home).

She may be an adult, but you’d never know it by her playful energy and curious spirit. Amy loves to learn new things and will keep you smiling with her silly antics and eagerness to please.

At her core, Amy is a loyal companion who just wants to love and be loved. She’s ready to bring endless joy to the right person or family—could that be you?

Please help us give Amy the exposure she needs by sharing her story. You could be the reason she finally finds her forever home.

Amy is at at Mississauga Animal Services and their phone number is 905-896-5864 and their email address is [email protected] and they are located at 735 Central Parkway West in Mississauga.

Amy’s full bio can be found here:

Please share Amy with your network.

She needs you.

Thank you

Big shout out of thanks to owner Danielle of Savor This, Burks Falls for donating $300 to Flights For Hope .

When they first opened the bakery, instead of accepting tips, they put out a donation jar to support animal rescues. Isn't that amazing!?

At Flights For Hope, we help our rescue partners by sponsoring flights to get dogs to safety. ✈️ 100% of every donation goes to help dogs in need.

If you are in the area, be sure to stop on by....they have some pretty amazing looking desserts and will also be opening up a coffee shop next door too!

Small businesses drive a community! Please shop local. 🇨🇦

These 3 are waiting for a flight from Winnipeg to Ottawa so they can come into our care. In the meantime they are safe with our friends at Paws To Rescue Manitoba. Over the past week we have sent out ~30 foster applications but only received a small number back. If you are still interested in fostering we would love for you to send us a completed app so we can approve it and add you to our emergency list. Foster periods are only a 2-3 week commitment and allow us time to get vaccines and vetting completed before the pups can safely return to us.

* Please note that if you have already applied there is no need to resubmit. Thank you! *

PLEASE if you are rehoming a pet, please do your due diligence.
Makes me so sad.

Copied:

When rehoming a pet, it's crucial to ask potential adopters about their experience with pets, living situation, and ability to provide for the pet's needs. You should also inquire about their understanding of your pet's personality and history to ensure a good match.
Here's a breakdown of key questions to ask:

1. Experience and Ability to Care:
Experience:
Have they owned pets before, and if so, what kind and for how long?
Do they have experience with pets of similar size, age, or breed?

Living Situation:
Do they own or rent their home?
Is there a yard, and if so, is it fenced?
Are there any restrictions on pets in their home?
Financial Commitment:
Are they able to afford veterinary care, including preventative care and potential emergencies?
Can they afford to provide nutritious food, toys, and other necessities?
Are they aware of the ongoing costs of pet ownership?

2. Understanding of Your Pet:
Personality and Temperament:
Are they aware of your pet's specific personality quirks, likes, and dislikes?
Do they understand if your pet has any behavioral issues (e.g., anxiety, fear) and are they willing to work with it?

Health History:
Are they aware of any known health conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions?
Are they comfortable with the possibility of needing veterinary care in the future?
History:
Have they been told about your pet's past experiences, including any potential trauma or training?
Are they willing to be patient and understanding during the transition period?

3. Other Considerations:
Other Pets:
Do they have other pets, and if so, what kind and how large are they?
Have they considered how your pet might interact with other animals in the household?
Family:
Do they have children, and if so, are they old enough and responsible enough to interact with your pet?

Home Check:
Are they willing to allow a home check to ensure the environment is safe and suitable for your pet?
Commitment:

Are they truly committed to providing a loving and long-term home for your pet?
Are they open to staying in touch and providing updates on your pet's well-being?
By asking these questions and carefully evaluating the answers, you can increase your chances of finding a good home for your pet and ensure a happy and fulfilling new life for them.

* ask for 3 personal references on addition to a vet reference.

Also BE HONEST with regards to your pets needs/behaviors. Painting a 'prettier' picture or not being 100% honest is doing an injustice to your pet.
