🐮✨ We heard mini cows are the hottest pet on the market… so naturally, we had to get one. 😂

Meet Maggie Moo! 🐄💕

We’re just trying to keep up with the trends around here. 😉

She’s half dairy cow, half dog, and 100% adorable. 🥹🐾 And yes, she’s every bit as sweet as she looks!

Maggie Moo is currently available for adoption, so if you’ve been waiting for your chance to jump on the mini-cow trend… this is your sign. 👀

You don’t want to miss this girl! 🐮💗

We are on here asking for help with some of our everyday essentials we use on a daily basis when having to give dogs medication. We use pill pockets every day and we are extremely low on them. If you would like to get us some you can find them on our Amazon wishlist:https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1B8FR0YJAJ6Y7?ref_=wl_dp_view_your_list
Thank you again!

🐾ALL ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED TODAY 8/8/26 AT OUR OTTAWA LOCATION!!🐾

We're teaming up with the ASPCA and joining to help animals find homes! When you adopt an animal, you free space and resources for shelters to give more animals the care they need. When we help one, we help many - that's The Rescue Effect. Check out our animals who are available for adoption in Ottawa: https://www.prairiepaws.org/ottawapets

🚨 We are in desperate need of a few essential supplies! 🚨

Our low-cost clinics happen every single week, and staying organized is key to making sure everything runs smoothly for the pets and families we serve. Two items we are urgently needing are:

📌 Gallon-size Ziploc bags
📌 Masking tape

These may seem like small items, but they play a HUGE role in helping us keep clinic paperwork, client information, and supplies organized throughout our busy clinic days. Every little bit helps us continue providing affordable care to our community. 💜💚

If you’d like to help, you can purchase these items directly from our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1B8FR0YJAJ6Y7?ref_=wl_share

Thank you for always supporting our mission and helping us care for the pets and people in our community!
