Lilly is still available for adoption!

She is ~7 years young
~ 70lbs
Lilly has a lot of love to give and is truly an amazing dog. She loves car rides, walks and being a total couch potato.
She is nervous of young children, so kids 10 and up are ideal.
She is not used to living with other animals, so a home where she is the only pet is a must.

Lilly is currently in a foster home but unfortunately, it won't be her forever home as we hoped.

Lilly's ideal home:
• No other pets
• No children under 12 (not that she's aggressive, she is just uncomfortable and on edge around young, unpredictable children.)

Please send us a message if you are interested in Lilly.

A letter from her foster:

"I will continue to foster Lilly as long as she can find a good home and this is what I've learned about her thus far.
Lilly is a very loving dog, she loves people but would do better in a home if she was the only pet. She gets over excited meeting other dogs and just wants to play, but don't really know how. She loves to play but for very short periods of time, then she just wants to lay down.
She is protective over her toys and food, she is okay with you touching them but NOT other animals.
She loves laying on the couch and following you around. She just wants to be wherever you are :)
She adapts really well to new places. She likes older kids, younger kids she don't know what to expect from them so she's on guard when they are around.
She loves going for rides in car and side by side.
She's very obedient, and very well behaved."

💥 Available for Adoption 💥
Meet Lilly!
She is in need of a foster and/or adoptive home through no fault of her own. I was contacted to evaluate her and help find her a suitable home and I ended up taking her home myself 😅

About Lilly:
She is a 6.5 year old Bully mix with ears for days, seriously, how can you not fall in love with those ears 🥹
She is spayed
She is not up to date on vaccinations, but this will be done prior to adoption!
She is very friendly and just wants to be a couch potato, but is and can be very active. She is the best of both worlds! She will go when you go and stop when you stop.
She needs a home without other dogs and we don't know how she is with cats.
Her leash manners are coming along nicely and she is in the process of being muzzle trained and I believe through consistency, she will be able to be around dogs without reactivity as I've already seen so much improvement while I've had her! She's even shown interest in interacting with my male dog just after a week.
She is nervous of children rushing her, so would do best in a home without young kids.
She's got a stomach of steel and no allergies or sensitivities that we're aware of.
She is crate trained, house broken and non destructive.
She is full of personality and loves everyone who she has met while I've had her.

Unfortunately, I cannot continue to foster her until the right home is found, which was the plan but the crate and rotate life is starting to catch up and is not the best thing for her.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Lilly, please PM us!
If you know someone in need of a great companion, please tag them!
If nothing else, please share this post so we can find this special girl her forever home ❤️❤️

Thanks to Jagger's owners for giving me the push to make a before and after video.
I've always wanted to, but my mind is always on the dogs I work with and never on social media output. Word of mouth has always been how I gained my clientele, I've never done much in the way of self-promotion and will continue to operate that way.
This video is not about me, it's about this dog and it's about YOUR dog. Just because your dog struggles in an area, doesn't mean they can't excel at it.
Jagger is a rockstar of a puppy and I won't take all the credit; he came to me with a wonderful foundation from some dedicated owners who knew the potential their puppy had and weren't afraid to ask for help where they felt they needed it!

One of the things I find hardest about my job is keeping up with social media, but little Beau is just too adorable not to share! 🥹

Imagine if:
Almost every day, someone told you that you were heartless.
Multiple people called you greedy, said that all you cared about was money.
Once a week, you were placed in a position to save a life and when they didn't make it, you were blamed, despite doing everything within your power to race the clock.
Every day, you try your hardest, you do your best and still, someone is saying you weren't good enough.
Once a week, you log onto Facebook only to be faced with another viral post.
When you go to work, the people happy to see you are few and far between.

This is the life of Veterinary Staff.

"The CVMA said a recent study found 26.2 per cent of Canadian veterinarians have had thoughts of su***de in the last 12 months, significantly higher than the 12.2 per cent of Canadians reported to have seriously considered su***de in their lifetime."

They are the most under-appreciated workers in the animal industry, with the most difficult, demanding and important job. We could not be the amazing Pet Owners we are, without them! They make our dreams come true every time we walk out of their building with a healthy animal and they barely get a Thank You.

It's time we show our Veterinary Staff the appreciation that they deserve.
They have the BIGGEST hearts, that's why they do what they do. No one goes into veterinary medicine for money and the price of your bill is only a fraction of what it costs to operate the facility for just ONE day. Vet care IS expensive but it's worth every single dime whether it's routine health maintenance or the miracle of being able to hold your pet for just a little longer. They make magic happen.
Say thank you. Send them flowers. Let them know they are appreciated and if you do have a concern, talk about it before you post about it.

Give a shout out to your vet clinic! Let us (and them) know what you love about them!
We love and trust Paradise Animal Hospital & Wellness Centre and Baccalieu Trail Animal Hospital and as you can see, Bullet loves them too.

2022's first graduating obedience class.
Congratulations everyone!

First, I'd like to say thank you to all of my clientele, past, present and future. Over the past few weeks I have been flooded with messages, emails and phone calls for people looking to use my services; most of whom have been referred by others and saying they've heard wonderful things.
This is amazing and I appreciate every single one of you.

Unfortunately, at this same time I have been dealing with some personal concerns. I am only one person, I am only human and I am doing the best I can. I will get to everyone's message eventually, so please bear with me.

As most of you know, I've been involved in training Service Dogs for quite some time now but what I've been keeping secret is a new donation based Service Dog Program!

The Canine County Service Dog Program will allow Newfoundlander's in need of a Service Dog to obtain one without having to leave the island, without having to stress over the cost and be able to meet their puppy and visit while it's being trained.

Meet Cassandra and Peak!
Cassandra's medical information is confidential but her need for a Service Dog is very real.
She is a strong woman, a wife and mother who's life is not really her own anymore and for people like Cassandra, a Service Dog can make a huge difference when medicine fails us.
Peak passed his Candidate test with flying colors and was brought to Newfoundland to be the first dog to move through this program specifically for Cassandra.

I can only take on so much at a time, so for now, I will not be accepting applications. This project is something I'm extremely passionate about and I'm hoping with enough nurturing and support, maybe it can grow to be something our little island desperately needs ❤️

How can you help?
• Donations will ALWAYS be needed. This will help keep costs for our handlers down to a minimum.
All donations are put towards the raising, training and needs of the Service Dog. Anything left over from one dog, will be put towards the next.
• Spread the word! Sharing information verbally or via social media helps tremendously. It helps bring in donations, brings awareness to Service Dogs and people in need of them.
• Educate! Either yourself or others. There is a lot of information out there regarding Service Dogs, both true and false and it's easy to get confused or misled.
• We will be looking for local Trainers and Breeders to get involved in the future! If you are interested in helping, let us know!
• Fundraising. If you have a creative mind and have some fundraising ideas you'd like to share, please let us know! If you don't mind running the fundraiser for us, that would be amazing, but even just sharing ideas with us helps!

Donations for Cassandra and Peak can be sent to:

💥CLASS POSTPONED💥

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to postpone our class tonight!
An e-mail was sent out to all students a few hours ago, but due to lack of responses, we figured we'd make a post to make sure everyone is aware!

We are currently dealing with a personal loss and will not be returning any phone calls or messages until after the long weekend.
Thank you for your understanding.
