This is a reality...and yes, it's happening in Ontario 💔
Our parvo puppies came from a northern reserve and they were found fending all by themselves at a very young age.

🐾🚨DOG CULLS IN CANADA🚨🐾

While the cull of hundreds of Ostriches on a farm in British Columbia is a hot topic at the moment (one that I don't want to debate, as I want to focus on the dogs).....do Canadians know that we also cull dogs? There has been so much outrage over these deaths, yet hundreds of Canadian dogs are also culled every year.

In many remote northern regions of Canada, dog overpopulation has long been managed through inhumane culls, a practice that arises not from cruelty but from a lack of resources, access to veterinary care, and sustainable support systems.

Communities are often left with no humane alternatives, facing harsh winters, limited supplies, and growing numbers of free-roaming, mostly un-owned dogs. Indigenous people (including children) in these northern communities face a significantly higher risk of dog bites every year. Community safety is jeopardized when children cannot walk safely to school, or play outside.

We try to do what we can to help, but it is literally one dog at a time. This is why it’s crucial for our government to step up—by funding spay/neuter programs, improving veterinary access, supporting community-led animal care initiatives, and investing in long-term solutions that protect both people and animals.

With meaningful support, northern communities would no longer be forced into desperate measures, and dogs could be given the chance at safety, dignity, and life.

These are not farm animals, the are domestic/companion dogs that deserve to live.

PLEASE share and help us create awareness.

Their lives matter too. 💔

🚨 ADOPTION NEWS🚨

Sitting here writing this post with tears in my eyes...
We are over the moon about this announcement. This girl has waited so long to be in the spot light and have this post about her.
It's her turn now ❤️FINALLY ‼️

Our blue 💙 eyed beauty MOKA IS ADOPTED 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

For well over a year you have seen post after post about our girl Moka on our Facebook and on Petfinder.
Moka looking for her forever home 🏡 with no luck.
Moka has sat and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited.
ZERO interest.
ZERO !!!!!

And then along came Sean and Lisa.
They could not 🚫 believe that there had been no interest in Moka. They couldn't believe that Moka was still sitting waiting for her forever home 🏡. They couldn't believe that Moka was still available.
Do you know what Lisa said to me ?
"She's still here because she was waiting for us to come along- we are her people"
And indeed they are ♥️
It took Moka well over a year to find her forever home 🏡 but we know that she is exactly where she belongs.
Moka has hit the jackpot ♥️ and she so deserves this ‼️
Sean has had huskies in the past and understands the breed. He also has had larger breed dogs that he's trained. They have a lovely energy about them and are offering Moka just the life she needs. Moka has a huge fenced in back yard that she gets to run around and play in.
We also found out that she loves the cat 🐈.
Thank you 🙏🏿 Sean and Lisa for coming along when you did.
Thank you for giving Moka the home 🏡 she's always deserved.

Moka's story 👇
Moka's had 2 different homes in the past before she came to Cottage Paws Rescue 🐾 .
Both homes gave up on her and dropped her off at a Quebec shelter. Her second stay at the shelter landed Moka on the euthanasia list 😭
I remember the day Moka landed on the list.
It was a Saturday.
It was 430pm on a Saturday when I saw the updated list with Moka as ⚠️URGENT⚠️saying if a rescue didn't step up for Moka by 6pm she would be Euthanized that evening.
Moka was trying to "dig" her way out of her kennel at the shelter and Moka was hurting herself 😭trying to get out.
*This happens all the time in shelters and when it does, the dogs are euthanized.
Huskies, border collies, shepherds - high energy dogs that need jobs find it very hard in the shelters and are prone to this behaviour :(
Our Moka, Jake, Blue, Cooper, Grizzie , Roxy were all dogs this happened to and we were able to save them before it was too late.

I read Moka's profile. I looked at those blue eyes staring back at me. I called our emergency foster and he said "yes". I messaged to say Cottage Paws Rescue would take Moka....no one answered.
I spent the night worried and wondering if we'd been too late.
Sunday morning they let us know that sweet Moka wasn't euthanized and she could come to us.
Moka was loved dearly by the shelter workers so much so that three ladies from the shelter drove Moka all the way from Quebec to Parry Sound to deliver Moka right to our doorstep and then they drove back home - they did a round trip. They wanted Moka to get to us safely and not be stressed.
I hope those 3 women see this post. Thank you for your kindness to Moka and going those extra miles for her.

Moka is now home 🏡
We are celebrating this 🎉...not gonna lie, there have been a few tears of joy shed for this sweet blue eyed girl. We are SO HAPPY for her and her new family.
Congratulations girl ♥️
Can't think of a better early Christmas 🎄 gift.
We can't wait to see her new adventures.
Congratulations Sean, Lisa and Moka ♥️

🚨ADOPTION NEWS🚨

DIXIE is ADOPTED ❤️

All 3 of our recovered parvo puppies left for their FOREVER homes 🏡 and started their new lives on October 31🎃.

They all deserve their very own announcement, so this is the story of DIXIE❤️ ...DELLA & SADIE (formerly Dolly) have had their announcements already.

Stephanie and Adam had been in touch with us ever since the puppies arrived into our care.
Dixie was the puppy that was the sickest with the parvo virus and was sickest for the longest. Stephanie kept checking in to see how they were doing throughout their illness and anxiously waiting for them to be healthy.
We all waited and prayed 🙏🏿 that they would recover.
This family is no stranger to "northern" dogs and have had others in the past and loves them. This family recently lost their last family dog and Dixie has been just the thing to mend their broken 💔 hearts.
Thank you Stephanie, Adam, Caleb, Chloe & Tito 🐈for opening your hearts and welcoming Dixie into your home 🏡.

Dixie is adjusting well in her new home 🏡 and learning lots of new things and she's even won over Tito 🐈 the cat....she tried so hard and Tito finally gave in 😹
I mean how could he not 🤷- look at that sweet sweet face 🩷
Dixie has a large waterfront property that she gets to call home🏡and looks like she's loving it 🩷

Congratulations Dixie on your new home 🏡 and thank you 🙏🏿 Stephanie, Adam, Caleb, Chloe and Tito 🐈 for opening your hearts to this sweet little northern girl ❤️

🚨ADOPTION NEWS🚨

DOLLY (now SADIE) is ADOPTED ❤️

All 3 of our recovered parvo puppies left for their FOREVER homes 🏡 and started their new lives on October 31🎃.

They all deserve their very own announcement, so this is the story of DOLLY (now Sadie) ❤️ ...Della had her announcement already & Dixie's announcement will be next :)

Dave and Heather had been in touch with us ever since the puppies arrived into our care. They kept checking in to see how they were doing throughout their illness and anxiously waiting for them to be healthy and not 🚫 contagious so they could meet them.
We all waited and prayed 🙏🏿 that they would recover.
Dave had been missing his beloved shepherd 💔but was willing to open his heart to Sadie....and I'm gonna say that it was love at first sight 👀when David came to meet the puppies. He naturally gravitated to Sadie and her out going personality.
Sadie is the biggest of the 3 girls she's 8kg and has a good 2 kgs on Della and Dixie!! When the puppies arrived from up North Sadie was the largest puppy and Sadie was only sick for 36 hours compared to the other two being sick for 4-5 days.

Sadie is adjusting well in her new home 🏡 and learning lots of new things.
Sadie is loving her new little brother Miguel 🐶. She loves the outdoors and their large property in the country. Sadie is learning so much daily and healing their broken 💔 hearts along the way.

Congratulations Sadie on your new home and thank you 🙏🏿 David, Heather and Miguel for opening your hearts to this northern girl ❤️
