𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐕𝐎𝐊𝐑𝐀

Every spring when the weather warms up we start seeing missing cat posters all over the place. Not everyone realizes what incredible escape artists cats can be! These photos posted by someone a few years ago show how easy it is for a cat to escape through the tiniest gap in a window. They seem to turn themselves into liquid and pour themselves outside! Flimsy screens, unguarded patio doors and balconies are also big escape points.

𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐯𝐞𝐫 😞 Tragic news from West 3rd Street and Forbes Ave. RIP dear Sweety 💔

Police seeking dash cam in fatal dog incident

24-9578

North Vancouver RCMP are seeking dash cam and witnesses in a fatal collision involving a commercial vehicle and a dog.

On May 17th, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. North Vancouver RCMP received a report of a dog that was run over by a commercial vehicle at the intersection of West 3rd Street and Forbes Avenue in North Vancouver. A man and their leashed dog were waiting to cross Forbes Ave. on the south side of West 3rd St. when a commercial vehicle making a turn jumped the edge of the side walk and ran over the dog. Sadly, the dog named Sweety did not survive its injuries.

The commercial vehicle failed to stop after the collision and continued south on Forbes Ave. The commercial vehicle is described as a “dump truck” style vehicle that had two dump beds as a trailer attachment.

“The owners of Sweety are devastated by the loss of their pet,” said Constable Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP. “Our investigation is ongoing and it is too early to tell if the driver intentionally fled the scene or if they had any knowledge of the collision at the time of incident.”

“If you were driving or walking near West 3rd Street and Forbes Avenue on May 17th, between 10:50 a.m. and 10:55 a.m. and saw the collision, then please call us at 604-985-1311 and quote file #24-9578,” said Sahak. “Police are also asking anyone with dash cam or surveillance video to come forward. Your dash cam may have captured something. Please check.”

Phoebe needs a foster (or permanent) home! Please consider saving a life by fostering. This is the only way we can bring in dogs from some communities. where they are struggling with the huge number of dogs/puppies needing help!

I used to have the sweetest name...
I'd run to it for love and games.
But now the only name I hear
Fills my littie heart with fear.

"Go away, you filthy stray!"
ls now the name that humans say ...

I run away now, quick and fast.
Before the stones by humans cast
Can bruise my head and make me bleed
Just because some food I need.

I wonder what I did so bad,
To lose the lovely home I had.
And wish to hear sweet words again;
For just one human to call me "Friend".

Our first Pet Wellness Clinic of 2024 at CJMC. Thank you to all the students from Douglas College and as always to Jan, Dr. Ashely, and Dr. Leah.

04/30/2024

Our Pet Wellness Clinic was held on April 22nd! Pets of Nation members came through to have their pets examined by Instructor Jan and students of Douglas College along with Veterinarians Dr Ashley and Dr Leah. Pets were vaccinated, dewormed, deflea'd, nails clipped, ears cleaned, etc! We had two pups down from Northwest Territories who came just for a visit with their foster mom Laurie Simington. (They stole the show 😄) Thank you to our volunteer helpers and of course BOSLEY'S Bosley's by Pet Valu and Bosley's Dundarave for their generous donations ❤️ Huy Chexw wa 🙌

Are humans this stupid? Yes, yes they are. This is why city people need to be kept on a leash while exploring the outdoors 🤬Are we neutering and spaying the wrong species? 🤔

Seriously your kid doesn't want it.

With two relatively recent BCSPCA seizures on bunnies, and potential charges under the BCSPCA act we remind people that Rabbits are not Easter pets. They certainly are not pets for children. Rather great pets for adults who Want something unique and are willing to research and keep for the life of the animal

Sadly the simple fact is that there are far far far more rabbits looking for homes than people wanting to adopt. Which is why at the current time most reputable rescues are not accepting rabbit surrenders

So please. Don’t dump rabbits and don’t buy rabbits

I have had the pleasure of fostering these two little munchkins for HugABull Advocacy & Rescue Society. Mae and Sassy are now approx. 13 weeks old and ready to move on to their forever homes. Whoever has the pleasure of adding one of these pups to their family will be forever rewarded with the sweetest most loving and entertaining canine companion . I don’t think Mae or Sassy have decided yet who they love more, people or other dogs. They would also most likely be ok with dog savvy cats and small animals. Both girls are doing well with their potty training and learning to go p*e on command. They are also very well behaved on their walks and doing well with some obedience training. We are practising ‘‘sit’, ‘off’, ‘here’, ‘stop’, ‘leave it’. Mae can be a bit vocal at feeding time or if she feels she is being ignored, so may not be well suited to an attached living situation. Sassy has decided she is part 'Mountain Goat' and loves to be on top of things and learned to climb baby gates and puppy pens. So when left on her own would need to be safely enclosed in a room to herself or crated to keep her safe. Mae and Sassy’s favorite thing in the world though is children (best suited with kids over the age of 10 though as they are still just babies themselves). Luckily we have a daycare that walks past our house every day. Their tails never stop wagging while getting attention from the kids and still wagging when the kids walk away as they look lovingly after them. I think that is the best part of their day - other than chasing each other through the bushes and wrestling on the lawn .
