Some important information!

01/06/2025

January is Walk Your Pet Month! Even with the cold weather, getting some air with your pet can be a refreshing way to reset for the day. On colder days, be sure to limit your pet’s time outside as they can be susceptible to hypothermia.

Give CHANCE a Chance! ❤️

Chance is a 14-month-old Great Dane X. This young boy can be very affectionate once he gets to know you. Being a pup, he is energetic. He's kennel trained and loves his toys and snuggles. Chance is not keen on farm birds, but with proper introductions, he's good with some dogs. He's working hard on his recall training and re-enforcement of current training. Chance would benefit from a single pet home that can give him the attention a young pup needs.

🏠🏠 'STELLA' IS LOOKING FOR A HOME 🏠🏠

The owner writes:

"Stella is a very sweet, young, short-haired tuxedo girl that I've had the honor of fostering over the last month.

Stella was part of a feral round up at one point and was fixed, tipped and microchipped. She's a little skittish at first but once she knows you mean no harm, she wants all the love and attention. She shows her gratitude with hugs, headbutts and her very loud purr. She loves to talk and so badly wants a kitty friend to snuggle and play with. Her foster siblings are not willing to accept her and despite their rudeness, she still purrs and tries to love on them even while they hiss and bonk her. She's incredibly affectionate and fascinated by anything that moves. (She lays in front of my cricket cage and fish tanks for hours just watching everything move around.)

If you'd like to meet Stella and learn more about her, please send me a message/email so we can discuss details. 🐈‍⬛🐾

Meet Elmo! ❤️

Elmo is a sweet, happy grey & white fellow. This handsome boy has a plush long-haired coat complete with great markings. His ears are a bit short & his tail hair is thin, but he makes up for it in personality! Elmo loves everyone in his world and cannot wait for a warm lap to cuddle on. He really is a gentle, kind boy!

Elmo has spent the last while on his own & now has health issues. He was recently diagnosed as FIV+. so he must be an indoor cat & the only cat in his new home. We would love to find Elmo his best home...could this sweet boy be the one for you? Can we help you to make your home perfect for this sweet boy?

Check out some facts about FIV:
FIV is a lentivirus, similar to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The two viruses are similar in their effect on the body, but they are not transmittable between species.

❤️ FIV is an immuno-suppressing virus found in cats worldwide!

❤️ FIV is mainly spread from cat to cat by bite wound.

❤️ Cats with FIV need to be kept indoors at all times!

❤️ FIV is a manageable condition; cats with FIV still live full, long, and happy lives!

Who's ready to ring in the New Year? We sure are! 🖐🎉🥂

With the calendars turning back to January, we are finally getting to open our 2nd Annual PAWS CALENDAR!

Our furry friends for January are Andy, Faya, Blake, and Burton. We also have Bayleaf Indian Fusion and Century21 Veitch Realty as our January sponsors! The sponsors on our back cover are just as important, so we would also like to shout-out Kingfisher Books!

Bayleaf Indian Fusion is bringing the heat with their authentic cuisine and fantastic flavours! The chef and owner, Dilip Chand is now offering a new dining experience to the population of Creston and beyond. Dilip brings his international culinary experience to the heart of Creston. A native of Nepal, Dilip earned his chef’s credentials in India. Stop by for a glimpse into Indian culture!

Century 21 Veitch Realty is your home to find your new home! With a global reach and local focus, CENTURY 21 has a unique Canadian history supporting entrepreneurship, marketing, technology innovation, and homeowner education. For over 45 years, they have set the gold standard in real estate. Owners Scott and Shannon are ready to help!

Kingfisher Books opened its doors back in 2006 and is one of Creston's hidden gems. The nooks and crannies are stuffed with more than 25,000 titles. Stop in, order a coffee, browse and relax. Their mission at Kingfisher is to be part of a very special little town. To sell tickets, display community posters, hang art work and provide a meeting place. To be more than just a used bookstore. A warm cozy spot on a wet winter day. A shady place in the heat of summer. Visit and enjoy!
