Atticus and Kisko at the awareness walk for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) last night. It was an excellent little outing for them, and they were very well behaved.

Come on down to 5012 43 street to say hello to puppers and our garage sale. Lots more we are putting out throughout the day.

Dogs are tethered and cannot access the sale area, so youre good if you don't want to see them.

Look I've had my photo taken with a giant cheque!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Augustana kids, for your kind donation to my rescue. ❤️❤️❤️

Theres many reasons why the community of Camrose is amazing. There are too many to list, but here is a prime example of when you stand behind what you believe in amazing results can happen.

We were approached by a group of Augustana students to work together to come up with a project for a grant for one of their classes. It's been an amazing experience working with them behind the scenes and having them take an interest in some of the less fun behind the scenes that happen in rescue. Their class is coming to an end in which they will be handing in the final product of their grant writing for us.
Today, they asked for a picture of us. However, I was unavailable, so I asked my volunteer foster home step in. I am ,no offense, quite glad I was unavailable as I was completely caught off guard by their kind gesture of doing a side project of a fundraiser for us and would of bawled my eyes out.

Students at Augustana Campus, Fallon Shelton, Rachel Devet, Brittany Holowachuk, Daniel Moody, and Rett Rook. Decided to do a side project fundraising for us and surprised us today 😭 we are truly humbled. Thank you so much 💓

And a huge thank you to everyone who supported their fundraising. we truly appreciate it. 🙏 ❤️

Evening leash manners training for Sprout. Might be off camera for a bit. Just wait it out- we'll be back eventually! She's getting really good, so our sessions never last long.

04/16/2024

Let it never be said that I'm always perfect--

Today reminded me of that! Haha.

Our walk today was wilder then normal! While I did get some seemingly nice, calm photos of the dogs, it was more chaotic then I prefer today. I know what mistake I made, and I will correct it in the future starting tomorrow.

But for now, have some deceptively innocent looking photos. 🤣

(For anyone curious, my mistake was giving Chewy, the Rottweiler in the photos, too much freedom. He is still acclimating to the rules of group walks, which are likely very different then the rules of walks at home. Combine that with his size, he pushes a lot of the smaller dogs around without even realizing! You will be seeing him on a shorter leash going forward, which will bring down the level of chaos that our walk must have looked like today 😅)

Stassie and Cooper both learning some vital life skills this week!

Contact me for private, one on one puppy life skills training.

Clyde says hello, world!

His owners are away, but they are resting easy knowing Clyde and his two siblings are being well taken care of, safe at home! 🥰

Foster puppy Sprout exhibiting her wonderful cat neutrality around David, our neighbourhood kitty.

Cats outside are particularly difficult to ignore, so this is a great testament to Sprout's amazing cat neutrality.

The dogs got pup cups today!

Ivy, Andrew, Cressy, Kisko and Riley all love this warm weather!

Leash training session #1

04/01/2024

My handsome man found his home 🥰 (Yes thats Archie I just call him Archie cause it fit better then Moose lol)

We have Exciting News!! Moose found his forever home :)

03/30/2024

Archie came back for his first- ever boarding!!!

And I also got my newest foster pup, Sprout. Again, adoptable from Camrose Animal Alliance Rescue Society, Sprout is some sort of bully breed mix (She is one of Gaia's puppies), and she is with me to work on general obedience and we will also begin addressing some resource guarding tendencies.

My plan of attack with that is through recall, so expect to see us out at the park!

Left to right: Archie, Ivy, Sprout, Kisko, Cressy

Sheira's got a big smile!!

Okay guys, we need to have a conversation around responsible dog ownership. Sorry, but this post has harsh language, too.

Because I was just fu***ng attacked by an aggressive off-leash dog.

I lost a leash in the meantime, a nice, expensive one, and was bit a few times on the leg.

This dog had intent, too. I was doing everything right- I had a level head, was disengaging as well as a human being can with a dog. NO DOG SUITABLE FOR LIFE SHOULD ATTACK IN THIS SITUATION. There was INTENT TO HARM in this dog.

GET YOUR FU***NG AGGRESSIVE DOG ISSUES SOLVED. I don't know what I would have done had I had dogs with me. Find a fu***ng trainer. Give them the ultimate peace, I don't care. But aggressive dogs have NO place in our city.

Oh no, more snow!!! Argh. But that didn't stop us from getting out and taking a couple cute photos with Stella and Timber!

Atticus' jump for joy at having a fun run at the park!

03/17/2024

Oh my gosh, yesterday was such a whirlwind. Archie and I went to an adoption event, and SO much happened, I was so tired I didn't post for the rest of the day.

But, first thing's first, the best news of all-- our man is most likely going to his forever home very soon! He got so, so much attention this time! I was crying right in the middle of Pet Valu when the family that was serious about adopting him told me they loved him.

Second, someone brought a 2 day old goat in to the store, too. Her name was Peaches, and she was an orphan. 😭😭😭❤️

Third, did I say that Archie is likely going to be adopted?! Because he is.

Picked up Atticus, Archie's arch-nemesis after the event too, and got to get him, Kisko and Stella on a walk just in time before Stella went home. See you next time, Stella!

I'm starting to offer a new service.

Introducing... pet taxi!

For $15, I can pick up your pet and take them on a maximum of two trips in one day.

Need to get them in at the groomer ASAP, but the groomer only has time when you are at work? Need to get them to daycare, or to someone's house?

Let me know. The dropoff location MUST be willing to accept a non-owner dropping your dog off (some groomers or daycares may not. Call ahead and make sure! I am more then willing to leave my contact info with them.)

Within the city of Camrose only-- $10 addon PER TRIP for outside city limits within a 30 minute drive. (Example- I pick up a dog in Camrose and take it to a daycare located outside city limits, and then a few hours later, same day, pick the dog up from the daycare and bring it back home- that would be $15 which covers both trips, plus $20- $10 for each trip outside city limits.)

My longterm and CAARS discounts both apply to this as well. $3 off per each- an animal adopted from CAARS being taxi'd for ten days would pay $9 per two trips a day!
