Day 29,200 year 3000 of Quarantine - we’ve figured out how to make pets live longer and they are officially sick of us. Here’s a pic of Charlie, my cuddle buddy. He’ll be 9 years old this year ❤️🐾

That one time I got to help this little nugget take her first breath after she was born through a caesarean! ❤️🐾 I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up when she finally gasped for air after 10 minutes.. what a beautiful experience ❤️

07/08/2019

Let me count ...4 cats, 3 bearded dragons, 1 ball python, 1 leopard gecko...
We have ‘non’ rescues but I think buying them from a store or person still counts 😛 because who wants to live in those teeny tiny cages/tanks right?
1 cat, 2 geckos, 1 tortoise 😁

It’s a full house to say the least! And don’t worry!! The cats live upstairs and the reptiles have their own space downstairs, safe away from curious cats.

Before and now 😂 my baby boy Mr Chipotle Mayo was was found with his 4 other orphaned siblings in a barn ... I took on 3 of them to foster and...he ended up being a foster fail ❤️❤️❤️

‘Foster Fail’: when they steal your heart and you fail to rehome them 😅

06/28/2019

Please please keep them inside ❤️

There is going to be a lot of fireworks this weekend. Please keep your pets inside.
Happy Canada Day long weekend!

Uh oh!

Update: Reunited with Guardians!!

Do you know me - llama edition?

I was found wandering around the 104th and 272nd area in Whonnock. I am a male llama. I am not currently in care of the Maple Ridge branch but being cared for at a properly equipped barn.

If you know me or know who my owner is please contact the shelter at 604-463-9511. Proof of ownership, photo ID, and must be 18+ years to redeem.

What a change! The first time meeting Leo, he wouldn’t let me get close to him. I never pushed any boundaries and let him come to me when he wanted to. And here we are today! After the 5th time meeting with him, the video says it all ❤️🐾❤️☺️

05/01/2019

What a huge difference compared to the first 2 times I met Leo with his family! He would have his hackles up and growl at me then run away. 3rd time meeting him in an outside setting with his family was successful! And today was the first time it was just me and him 😊🐾 and the video speaks for itself I think 🐾❤️

05/01/2019

Today was our first walk together! Leo (black retriever) is such a sweet boy but extremely skittish, he’s a rescue from the Korean meat market. The poor boy got so scared when a motorcycle had to drive by... after that we had a pretty good walk! We then went back to his home and took him and his older brother Jacque (Frenchie) to the backyard to blow off some energy! I met with Leo and his fur parents 3 separate times prior to today, just to make sure he wouldn’t be scared of me when I came over today. When I went to pick him up this afternoon, he was so excited! Tail wag and all! Small steps 🐾❤️

04/23/2019

Today on our hike we met a lovely family who were out for an Easter hike with their bloodhound named Hazel! They let her off leash and well the photos speak for themselves I think 😂 fighting sleep on the way home ❤️

04/22/2019

Would you move out the way??? No way 😂🤷🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

04/21/2019

What a good boy ❤️🐶

04/21/2019

Can you spot Pedro? We built some trust with each other over the last few days. Pedro’s owners said he’s good off leash and has good recall butttt I wanted to build trust on our walks before we jumped into that. He was amazing today! If I wasn’t right behind him, he stopped and waited or ran back to me.

04/19/2019

Pedro: “Uhhh hooman can we not stop to take pictures and keep going?”
Me: “Uhhh Pedro can we not stop every 2 feet to smell something?”
Pedro was such a good boy on his walk today!! Yesterday was pouring rain and so cold but we were troopers! Today was a nice treat 😊

04/16/2019

With Easter coming up... please remember just because the flowers look pretty.. they could be deadly for your pets.

04/11/2019

There is a very serious problem going on!! Too many people are quick to buy that ball python they see at a Petsmart.. are you prepared to keep him/her for 20+ years? Do you really think your 7 year old kid will still have him/her when they’re 27 years old? Or the little baby tortoise in a small tank... are you ready to care for him/her for the rest of your life? Literally the rest of your life! Most tortoises live 40-80+ years. We have written our tortoise into our wills. That crested gecko is cute right? Oh no... it’s lost it’s tail and now you don’t want him/her anymore..so you just let them go into the wild. I don’t know if people realize this but we are not a tropical nor a desert environment. You’re literally sending those animals to their death but since you can’t see them, it’s not your problem right? Out of sight, out of mind. Shame on you. Animals don’t deserve us 💔

What a good boy ❤️🐶 #pedro #pawsitivemission #missionbc #bearmountain #pawsitivemissionpetcare #dogwalking #recall #doggo #pupper

Today we worked on proper manners when going on a walk 🐾🥰 unfortunately due to a past event when a dog attacked him and his twin, they defended themselves and since they are a bully breed - they must be muzzled in public. Prong collars are an amazing training aid to help dogs realize they are pulling too much. While you’re feeling uncomfortable getting your arm ripped off, they’re feeling uncomfortable having their neck poked at. With persistence and confidence, I know I can help this boy accomplish so much with his fur parents ❤️🐾

I hope this clarifies what we meant by "Medical Attention". Message us for more details.

Here is an updated slideshow about the services we could provide when you go away.

The path that lead me to a Pawsitive Mission

I never really saw myself starting this particular business as a child. It was more so images of starting an animal rescue, a rehabilitation centre, a small zoo, a cattery, a doggy daycare! But all those things require space which I do not have yet, but one day it will happen.

20 years ago I walked into a Pet Store and the owner was so incredibly nice. After that first meeting, I went to the Pet Store just about everyday just to look at the animals. Secretly wishing that one day my mother would let me take a pet home one day. He noticed that I was a frequent flyer but never buying anything; he came up to me as I was looking at a pair of Parakeets and asks “Would you like to hold them?”. I wish I could describe in words how ecstatic I was, I’m sure it was written all over my face. Somehow I was both confident and nervous to hold them which I assume is normal for someone that’s never held a birds like them before. Such bright beautiful colours of green and blue. I was there everyday to hold those birds, they were absolutely gorgeous. They often fell asleep in my hands or in my arms. The owner saw the benefits of constantly handling them. So once they were sold, the new owners were able to handle them with ease. After his realization, he had me handle animals I never thought I’d ever have the chance to hold! From snakes to ferrets to puppies to hand feeding/syringe feeding new born birds. I was in heaven. I knew that this is what I wanted in my life, needed honestly.

For Birthdays, Christmas’ all I ever really wanted was books/videos about animals. Instead of watching cartoons, I was watching any and every documentary I could find about animals on tv. In school whenever there was a project or subject about any animals, I always went above and maybe too beyond to show my knowledge.

As a teen, I decided to apply to volunteer at the BCSPCA. There was a position open in the Advocacy Department and I thought I would try to get in there with no prior experience. And to my amazement, they choose me. I was ecstatic, I loved it there. Working in an office where everyone brings their pets to work? It was perfect.

From there, I wanted to pursue working in a Veterinary Hospital. I just knew this is what I wanted. Schooling was very expensive but I had applied and been accepted but before I could start, an Animal Hospital contacted me for an interview. Of course I JUMPED to it! I went into the hospital and was shown around, led to an office where there were four veterinarians sitting. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, I was shaking like a leaf. Hoping and praying that I would get the position. The interview was about an hour long, they had 4 dogs in the office and they quizzed me on the breeds. This is where my obsession with animal knowledge came in handy. Of course, I passed (Not to tout my own horn but). They said to wait for a phone call for an answer. A couple of days later they phoned and offered me a working interview and I accepted. They knew I had no prior schooling but they still took me in. I went and at the end of the working interview, they said I got the job. BUT! There’s always a but isn’t there? I had to prove to them that I could learn the job, acquire the knowledge, handle medications, aid the doctors and technicians in 3 months. If in 3 months I could prove that I belonged, then I would be hired on permanently. About 2 months in, they knew I belonged. It was an amazing feeling. It was almost nostalgic, it brought me back to the time when I was a kid and the first time I held those two Parakeets. I went on to work there for about 3 years, this hospital was BUSY. It was like working in an ER for animals some days. I learnt my strengths, I overcame my weaknesses. They say to not build attachments to patients because they are there for a reason, but everyone that I’ve come to know working in the field knows that it is impossible to do that. We are there to help those with no voice, our love and compassion for them is what gets them the help they need.

Paws For Hope is a non-profit organization. Dr. Shawn Llewllyn worked at the hospital that I started at and he is the President for Paws For Hope. They provide a free veterinary clinic to persons who are low income/homeless that own pets. They give free treatment and medications. Medications ranging from skin problems to flea treatments to ear problems. They do bloodwork on the spot if the animal(s) need it, they schedule much needed dental work for them. They are truly an amazing organization to volunteer for and I am proud to be a part of their team. They started helping people in the East End of Vancouver to going even further to Langley now. I am so proud of their accomplishments and the amazing volunteers that go above and beyond to help.

I went on to work at a few more Animal Hospitals over the years, learned that everywhere works differently but always efficiently in their own ways. I am truly grateful for the opportunities that I was given to pursue the work I have been able to do through the amazing people I have met over the years.

I thought of the name for Pawsitive Mission because it is my mission to do what I can to help animals in need and their fur families. I also live in Mission so I think it just fits perfectly! Whenever family or friends that have pets need to go away, it always seemed that they were contacting me to either pet sit or visit daily for feedings/attention/walking. I love knowing that I am the person they think of when they’re in need and that they’re confident to leave me with their fur babies (cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles for those that don’t like the term “fur babies”). And then recently I thought to myself, “What if people need different types of help when it comes to their pets?”. What if they need to administer a medication 3 or 4 times daily but due to their work schedule they can only give it twice daily? I know some animals especially those with heart disease will need medication more often than others. Or what if they need to administer insulin but they have work later that day and are unable to do it on time? What if their dog has dog aggression but loves people and would love some attention when their owner is at work? What if someone needs to go on vacation but they don’t want to board their cat but may have no choice because they need daily medication? What if their pet needs to go to the vet for a serious issue but the only available appointments are during the day while you’re at work? What if their dog has a lot of energy and needs to go for a walk daily but you work long hours so you simply don’t have the time or energy to go on one? As you can see, my thoughts were endless and then I decided to offer my services and my knowledge. I’ve learned so much about peoples and animals needs while working in the hospital world, hearing the constant struggles some owners need to face daily. I want to help, I want to help you and your family member feel comfortable and be at ease knowing someone can help you.

I hope this helps put some of you at ease knowing that I would do what it takes to help your loved ones feel comfortable and happy. And have a look into my mind and thought process.

We have 5 cats... yep 5! And they are all boys. (Lord help me) My spouse had his 2 cats originally and I had 3 of my own. We were in a townhouse and couldn’t fit them all in there so we bought a house in Mission and introduced them. Things have calmed down a lot but there were definitely a lot of disagreements in the beginning. Still a working progress but one day they’ll all love each other. Not my first time introducing animals to each other. Lots of patience and understanding is required. We also have 3 reptiles: Giant Day Gecko, Northern Alligator Lizard and a Red Footed Tortoise. We are looking at getting another reptile but we’re on paws for now. (Paws get it?)
