Meet our two little terrors 😉

Mabel and Charley!

🐶Mabel is approximately 4 months old.
She is your classic husky/malamute mutt mix. She loves to make noise and sing many songs. Mabel loves to chew on bones, sticks and toys.
She will require a TON of exercise and will likely grow to be quite big. Mabel is still learning she is no longer fighting for her food and devours it very fast. We recommend doing research on husky and malamutes before adopting !

🐶Charley is approximately 3 months. He appears to be a husky, collie mutt mix. He too loves to sing to his people. He loves to play fight with his “sister” Mabel. He is also learning he doesn’t need to swallow his food in seconds. Both puppies have been around other dogs, amazing with kids, met cats and even goats.

🐶 Both have so very much love to give!

Please note these two will both be foster to adopt until spayed and neutered! 🐶

If interested please go to littlemittens.org and fill out a dog adoption application!

FOSTER OR FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED 🐾🐾

Koda (4 years old) and Loki (3 years) are looking for a foster or foster to adopt placement! They are both neutered males, unknown mixed breeds, and up to date on their shots. Koda is more energetic and eager to please. Loki is more laid-back and affectionate.

Both dogs are kennel-trained, house-trained, good with other dogs and good with all people (including kids) but have not had any time with cats.

They are quite bonded so keeping them together would be ideal however we are on a tight timeline and need to find homes.

If you are able to take in one, or ideally both, of these handsome pups, please fill out a foster application on our website and reach out ♥️

We need to build our dog foster list 🐾🐾

As we don't have shelter space for dogs, we rely on foster homes to help temporarily place dogs and puppies before they go to their forever homes. Often we get last minute notice that dogs need to be re-homed so having a list of several fosters to contact will help tremendously.

If you are able to foster, please fill out an application online at https://littlemittens.org/adopting-and-fostering/foster-application/ or contact us for more information ❤

On that note, Koda (4 years old) and Loki (3 years) are looking for a foster or foster to adopt placement! They are both neutered males, unknown mixed breeds, and up to date on their shots. Koda is more energetic and eager to please. Loki is more laid-back and affectionate.

Meet Indie!

Indie is a sweet and loving young girl ♥️ At only two years old, you’ll get a young cat past the crazy kitten stage but still with some s***k and playfulness!

She is doing well in the cat room as long as nobody gets into her space. She would do well in a home with a cat-savvy dog or another cat that will respect her space!

If you are interested in meeting Indie, or other cats in our care, the first step is to fill out an application online or in person at Pet Valu. We will then reach out to schedule a meet and greet!!

Why so much fundraising!?

Right now we have A LOT on the go - our Cocktails for Critters Silent Auction and upcoming event, Smile Cookies at Tim Hortons, 2025 Calendar Sales, Holiday/Farmers markets, and more!

So why are we doing so much right now!? Part of the reason is that we are too busy in the spring and summer with injured/orphaned wildlife to put on big events. But a big reason is that we have a lot of bills and upcoming costs to take care of!

Along with our regular expenses such as facility maintenance, food, cleaning supplies, and utilities, we have A LOT of vet appointments and surgeries scheduled! Wickets surgery alone is likely to cost $2000-$3000.

As a registered charity and non-profit, we are funded through a combination of grants, fundraising events, our refundable program, and donations. Grants go through cycles and aren't always guaranteed so we rely heavily on your support through fundraising events and donations!

Check out our website www.littlemittens.org for information on events and ways to donate 🐾❤️ Thank you so much for your support - every donation, no matter the size, counts towards giving animals a second chance at life ❤️❤️❤️
