Flights For Hope

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY!

It has been a crazy few days for handsome Asher....from the rez, to a pit stop at his temp foster home in Winnipeg, to a flight into Toronto, to Newcastle with volunteer Fiona overnight.....then finally settled into Northumberland Humane Society 🐾🐾.

Phew!

This adorable year old pup, reminds me of a small retriever. The same sweet, want to be with his people disposition.....he is going to make someone the pawfect companion. He is surprisingly calm for a pup & slept in his doggy bed all night without a peep (he may of have some snuggles on the humam bed prior to retreating to his own space)!!!!

Asher aims to please & has lots, and lots of potential. The staff at the shelter will access his needs & find him the pawfect forever home.

Keep an eye on the shelter's page for adoptable updates!

We love you sweet Asher & promise that a cozy bed & forever family is in your near future!!

#218 & 219 Mullido & Slatter

These 2 adorable (unrelated) cuties were saved by our rescue friend Danette in Saint Theresa Point, northern Manitoba. With a population of stray dogs, as well as owned dogs unaltered & roaming the communities population continues to rise.

Despite a recent rescue mission & clinic, it only takes a handful of unaltered females to begin the cycle of overpopulation. One female dog alone, could produce 12 - 20 puppies a year. Think about that. It really doesn't take much for things to quickly get out of hand in these areas.

But, with every dog saved, not only are you saving them, but the many others they could help produce!! That's a win in itself & we a happy to be able to help, one precious life at a time.

Please welcome Mullido & Slatter who are now safe in Winnipeg where their next journey begins!

TWO MAMAS. THEIR PUPPIES. ONE VERY LONG JOURNEY TO SAFETY. ❤️

For months, two stray mama dogs and their puppies have been living around the dump in Grassy Narrows, Northern Ontario. Local rescue team Zhaawaynim Animoosh had been keeping a close eye on them, making repeated attempts to capture the families, but despite their best efforts, these mamas remained elusive. They came as often as possible not only to build trust, but also to ensure they also got some food.

Knowing they needed help, Pet Save Sudbury sent a team north to assist. An incredible 18 hour trek later, their efforts paid off!!! Both mamas and all of their puppies have now been successfully captured. Every single one is now safe and in care!

But let's take a moment to think about what life must have been like for these dogs.......

A dump may offer scraps of food, but it is no place for a dog to survive. These mamas have had to navigate a harsh and unforgiving environment, searching through garbage for something to eat while trying to keep their babies fed and protected. Their surroundings are not only filled with waste and potential hazards, but are also frequented by bears, creating yet another very real danger.

Imagine trying to raise a litter of puppies in those conditions. Imagine the constant hunger, exposure to the elements, fear, and uncertainty. Imagine never knowing where your next meal will come from, all while trying to protect the little lives depending on you.

This is the reality for so many stray dogs living in northern communities. They aren't choosing this life. They are simply trying to survive.

Today, two mamas no longer have to worry about finding their next meal or protecting their babies from the dangers around them. Their puppies no longer have to grow up scavenging at a dump.

Instead, they have a chance at something every dog deserves....safety, proper care, full bellies, and the opportunity to eventually know what it feels like to be loved.

A tremendous thank you to Zhaawaynim Animoosh for never giving up on these families, and to the Pet Save Sudbury team for making the long journey north and bringing them to safety.

It takes a network of people who care, who show up, and who refuse to look away.

Today, two mamas and their little ones have a very different future ahead of them. ❤️

ARES.....NOW ASHER 🖤

We are so grateful to our rescue partners who step up to help a dog in need. Asher is heading off to a better furture TODAY, and there is no looking back.

He hasn't had a good start to life. He hasn't had kindness touch his soul, in fact far from it. But, he is now SAFE & ready to put that all behind him. He is emaciated and quite shut down, but he will learn to trust again one day at a time.

Asher will be flying into Toronto today & will be picked up by volunteer Deborah. He will head to Newcastle, and will be fostered overnight by friend Fiona. Tomorrow, we will take him to our partners at Northumberland Humane Society where he can begin his next chapter. His flight has been covered thanks to your support.

Thanks to everyone involved in his rescue, especially Jasmine & Kate who continue to advocate for our northern dogs in Manitoba. Without people like them, these dogs have no hope. Thank you my friends. Much love & respect.

We currently have another HopeStrung Beads Fundraiser, so please join to help dogs like Asher!

#211-217 Binx, Ernie, Cassie, Winifred, Dani, Salem, and Jesse

A massive shout out to our FFH supporters for stepping up to help these 7 beautiful babies!

Because of your generosity & kindness we were able to send $1,200.00 to our partners at Sit With Me rescue to cover their flights!

These stray souls may have a long road to recovery ahead of them, but with the compassion of rescue, proper medical care and a little love, we hope to see each of them heal, thrive and grow into the healthy, happy dogs they deserve to be!

Welcome!!

SWEET GREY FACES.....NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN NEW, UNCONDITIONAL ❤️ LOVE.

If ya needed another reminder of why we do what we do- Mia with her foster dad only MOMENTS after arriving into care would be it.

😭 I mean look at this.

Mia, who has been passed around from person to person to person before being dropped off to a shelter by several folks who found "something wrong with her" as well as had puppies for profit and who had no clue who her foster dad even was yet- just wanted to snuggle in as closely as can be.

My heart cannot handle the goodness of an old dog.

The forgiveness.

The hope had.

The grace given.

The unconditional love.

And the opportunity to begin again.

We can learn a lot from an old dog ❤️.

Mia sees our vet shortly for her first head to tail check and the planning of any next steps. She does require up to date vetting, a spay, and I'm guessing as a pug will require a dental too.

If you're in the position to help with these upcoming vet bills we'd welcome your support (ways to donate in comments).

No more being passed around Mia. No more puppies. No more being told (after only moments of someone knowing you you're not a fit).

There's someone very lucky out there who some day will be your forever. They just don't know it yet.

Mia- good with dogs, cats, children. And expert level snuggler too.

Welcome to Happy's Place ❤️.

🐾 A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DJ🐾

Hey friends!!!
Me has to tell you about a girl who really needs some humans to step up for her.

Her name is Calla, and she's a beautiful Shepherd lady, about 7–8 years young. She's been sitting in a shelter for OVER THREE MONTHS. Nobody came looking for her, and so far, nobody has come forward to make her part of their family.

Me has a question for you humans. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Me understands that Calla is a senior girl. Me also understands she has some special dietary needs. But are we really going to let those things stand between her and having a home?

Calla LOVES her humans. She's a big, beautiful girl who still has so much love to give. She can be a little selective about her doggy friends (hey, not everyone has to be your bestie), and cats are definitely a NO for her.

Now, about that tummy of hers. Calla had some digestive troubles, but she's doing well on a prescription low fat GI diet. Her vet recommends she stay on it long term. The shelter ruled out EPI, although they haven't figured out what caused the original problems.

So yes, her future family will need to keep her on her special food. That's something to consider, but it's certainly not a reason to overlook an otherwise wonderful dog.

Me thinks Calla deserves more than spending her golden years behind shelter walls.

She deserves a comfy bed, a family to love, walks, belly rubs and someone who is happy to see her every single day. Just like my family!

Not every dog is a puppy. Not every dog is perfect. And not every dog comes without a few extra considerations....sorta like me.

But EVERY dog deserves a chance to be loved.

Calla has already waited more than three months. Let's not make her wait another three.

Me is asking you to SHARE HER STORY. Maybe your share will reach the human who's been looking for a girl just like her.

Let's show Calla that her best days aren't behind her. They're still waiting to happen. ❤️

Love your loyal friend, DJ
