Hey all. Just a few updates.

Thank you to Morgan Gibbs and her staff for taking such good care of the 8 pups that were transported to her barn , Mandy Connolly for transporting them and Crystal for arranging to have the pups ready. The pups have been there since 10 January and we are slowly moving them into foster homes

If you would like to foster one or two of these pups please contact us ASAP so we can get them out of the barn because the stall is needed for calving season.

The pups are about 5 months of age, lab cross and have been dewormed once , already. Transportation will be provided for them from the barn to Winnipeg.

Thank you to Darlene from Westman Salvage in Brandon for the generous donation towards caring for these pups.

Thank you to A Voice 4 Paws, Sandra Siciliano and your team, for the food donation to help us feed the animals we bring in.

Thank you to Linda Coutu and Jessica , and their families, for fostering some of these pups.

The cast , from when I broke my thumb is off now , so it's easier to do posts and work with the dogs.

We have some amazing adoptables on the page. Please share their posts so we can get them into homes.

We are on an intake freeze until most of the animals in care are adopted or taken in by other rescues.

The pictures below are of the four female lab cross pups. They are sweet pups , smart and are being socialized with cats, kids and other dogs. Pictures of the male pups will be posted shortly .

Send us a message or fill out a foster of adoption form if you are looking for an addition to your family.

Pixie was found on a snowbank in a farmer's field and she couldn't walk. We brought her to the vet and found that she had serious issues with her hips and back legs.

She was seen by an orthopedic surgeon the following week and he suggested that we get some weight off of her and do a recheck. He also suggested that we do a pregnancy check because the xrays seemed to show something weird in her abdomen. That afternoon we found out she was pregnant.

Pixie gave birth to one pup but sadly, Erik, passed away three days after he was born. We suspect it was fading puppy syndrome. Pixie seemed to bounce back after her loss and remained with the foster after her pup passed to help her heal.

In speaking with prospective adopters, 3 in total, they are willing to adopt Pixie but are not sure that they could commit to her medical issues. I totally understand that she has a complicated medical history.

Pixie has been in her foster home since her arrival. A bond has formed between her , the animals in the home and her foster parents.

Our team has had lengthy discussions about Pixie's situation, and consulted her foster and have decided that Pixie will become a permanent foster at Lexi’s Relief Rescue .

Pixie is settled in a home, they adore her and she adores them Pixie has a new position as the greeter / receptionist at a Grooming salon and will want for nothing. Once we do the recheck , with Dr. Hagan , we will decide on future medical procedures.

Thank you to the Doughnators for helping us with her initial medical visits . Thank you to all who donated towards her care. We will update her status from time to time.

Welcome Pixie as our first permanent foster. Thank you Lisa K Haney and Ken for loving this little girl so much .

In September 2024 we were asked to help a 5 month old pup who wasn't well. When our director got to the location she found him to be a 5-7 year old intact male. He saw a vet that day and was diagnosed with Heartworm, a broken leg , and multiple infected wounds.

Murphy has been on treatment for his Heartworm and will be for another 5 months and will be retested . His wounds have healed , and he has seen an Orthopedic surgeon who has stated that he won't do surgery on the broken leg because Murphy has been using the leg.

Murphy is up for adoption and would do best in a rural property. He needs a farm like acreage setting where he can roam a bit and be close to his people. He loves car rides , sleeping on his bed, and eating toast. He is a sweet old boy who needs a retirement home. He loves his toys and his bed as well.

He is up to date on vaccination, neutered , kennel trained, house trained . He would do best to be an only dog as he has had to fight to survive , which is why he would be fine living alone without a pack.

If you are interested in Murphy please contact us.

He is a gem !!!

Meet Rose! 🐾

Rose came in to care November 26 th 2024 with her three siblings. They were freezing and I was worried that they wouldn't make the trip to Winnipeg. That's when I called Diane Heron and asked if I could stop at her place to get them warmed up and do an assessment on them before I got back on the road.

By the time I got to Diane's place she had warming pads, warmed up formula and food waiting for the pups. They ate drank and seemed settled so I drove to Grant Park Animal Hospital where the pups were seen by Dr. Popp.

They were dewormed and taken to their foster homes. We have kept them in care longer than most pups, before we posted them ,because they were in need of longer than normal recovery time. They are ready to find their families now.

Rose is one of these pups and is one of our adoptables! She is a loveable and playful girl who especially loves squeaky toys. Her favourite thing hands down is belly rubs and she sure doesn’t work hard to get them!

Rose is approximately 3 months old and is kennel trained, good with kids and other dogs.

Please reach out to us if you’re interested in adopting!

When Mikey came into care he weighed 12.3 kg ( 27.6 lbs ). Today he received his booster shot and weighed in at 20.9 kgs ( 47 lbs). He almost doubled his weight in under two months. His vet says he looks amazing and we should try to keep him at this weight.

His coat will take some time to recover but the weight gain demonstrates the toll the mange and malnutrition played in his case and on his body.

At 8:11 pm on December 5 th 2024 Susan Minter Noga asked if we had room. At 830 am 6th December, 2024 Tammy Nault and I picked up a very shutdown and sick 7 month old pup.

He was at the vet later that day and started his recovery. He had several medical issues and had to be in quarantine for almost a month.

Mikey was named after the security guard who helped guide us around , looking for this pup. A kind lady had taken him into her home to keep him warm and safe, overnight .

Mikey has a sweet personality, he is a bit of a character when he plays with other dogs. His foster mom is a seasoned foster who will bring the best in Mikey. Thank you Alexis White for taking in the sweet dog.

Mikey is up for adoption, has had his first vaccination, will have his booster shot and be neutered.

If you are interested in adopting him please fill out an adoption on our page or pm us if you need more information.

Thank you to all who donated to his care, for gas to pick him up , who made a blanket for him and sent him toys. He had a wonderful village of love around him so he can have a wonderful life.

We are so grateful to have such an amazing business owner and stellar human being help us to help the dogs .

Shannon thank you for being so wonderful!!!

We are in need of a new foster for Mikey. His foster has been amazing but they have had a development I'm their life that needs to be attended to.

If you are interested in being a foster please fill out our form and get in touch with us.

WE HAVE A FOSTER FOR MIKEY!!!

Thank you so much Alexis .

The past three days have been ups , downs, joyful and sad. Rescue runs the full spectrum of emotion.

The joyful part is that eleven animals are being transported to BC to their new families. Two amazing friends are doing the transport through rough roads and blowing snow. Thank you Maureen Minter and Kat Timko.

Thank you Leslie Long ,your fosters and adopters for taking in these sweet souls . I look forward to seeing all the updates. This is the upside of the three days.

This past Thursday, while running Selma the 50 ' leash, I was using, wrapped around my legs and I went down hard. This is the downside! The fall caused me to chip a bone in my right thumb, a sprained ankle and I pulled all the tendons on the right side of my body.

Because of the fall we need some urgent fosters !!!! Murphy, Sally Pepper , Tulip, Mikey all need fosters. Linda Coutu , bless her heart, came over the day I fell to help with the dogs , but cannot stay forever as she has 4 pups she is fostering.

If ever there was a need for fosters, we need you now. Please fill out a foster form on our page and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

The sadness comes from having Pixie's pup, Erik, pass away overnight.

Rescue is not for the faint of heart. It is gritty, hard, emotional work. Thank you for all your support.

SAD NEWS !💔💔💔

It is with a heavy heart that we need to tell everybody that Pixie's pup, Erik, has passed away during the night.

We suspect fading puppy syndrome as the cause . Pixie is good but her foster is gutted.

Please send the foster and Pixie lots of love ❤️ ❤️❤️

Hailey has picked the name Erik for Pixie's pup. It is a perfect name for this little one. Thank you Hailey.

Good morning .

Pixie went into labor around 7 pm last evening and gave birth to one male pup. Mom and pup are doing very well as the pup has latched on and they are resting comfortably.

Now that Pixie's pup is born her body will be able to settle down and without the pressure of the pregnancy she may find it easier to get around.

Pixie is in an amazing home and we will update the post as the pup grows. We are asking Hailey , the young lady who found Pixie with her mom, to name the pup. We will let you know what name she has chosen .

Thank you for all the well wishes.

Great information!

Please take the extra steps to ensure your pets are safe in this frigid cold! They need shelter and protection from this cold weather just like we humans do!
