We've had two generous humans sign up to be sponsors for our new program. If you recall a couple of years ago we ran another sponsorship program that was mainly for each individual little friend here. That goal was to support all of the spays and neuters we were having done. We are now focusing on the main areas of support that we so desperately need help with. Without help from you to aid in this most needed areas we are not able to manage efficiently. I've paid out of my own pocket hundreds of times and always do if I can and when I can but it also leaves me completely drained most months. Please consider supporting our little friends by sponsoring a vital need that we require to keep these little ones, healthy, happy, and safe. We've got the love part covered ❤️

Did you see our post last night announcing our Memorial Sponsorship Program? We'd love to have you sponsor an item or two in remembrance of one of our lost loves. The more sponsorships we can receive the less we will have to spontaneously ask for help. Please consider sponsoring one of our great needs. ❤️

Just to let you know that our post regarding our Memorial Sponsorship Program will be shared at 6pm. Facebook says thats when it's best to share it today so we decided to listen. 🤷‍♀️

Some days I look back at the animals who have come through our door — the ones who went on to new families, the few we lost too soon, and the little faces that still look up at me here at home — and it almost feels like I’m remembering a whole lifetime, not just a few years.

People often see the cute photos or the happy updates when an animal gets adopted. They don’t always see the other parts:
the tears over the ones we couldn’t save,
the arguments in the kitchen because there’s hay everywhere,
the late nights syringe-feeding when everyone else is asleep,
the way our home slowly turned into something between a shelter, a clinic, and a hope-filled waiting room.

I never thought I could love an animal so deeply and still let it go. I never thought I could keep my heart open after it broke. I didn’t know a person could cry, clean, love, and say goodbye all in the same day and wake up ready to do it again.

But rescue taught me something I didn’t know I had in me.
Not perfection.
Not strength that looks brave from the outside.
Just the quiet kind; the kind that keeps going, even while it hurts.

I don’t share these thoughts to celebrate anything I’ve done, because I don’t feel like anyone special. Most days, I’m just someone who tries, fails, learns, tries again, and hopes it’s enough. But every animal who leaves here a little safer, a little healthier, a little more loved… reminds me that even the messy, difficult parts are worth it.

Good snowy Sunday to you!

We've got a lot going on here; our brains are exploding!

I thought I would give you a quick update on what to look for this week coming up on our page.

🎄Starting off, this coming Saturday, November 29th, we will be at 500 Stonehaven Dr., Kanata from 9am until 2pm for their Annual Christmas Bazaar! We were there last year and it was so wonderful!
If you're not busy, come by and see us and all of the other talented vendors.

🎄We're working on preparing our Christmas Auction and will post soon (hopefully by the end of this week) about when the actual dates for this event will be. We could still use items for this event so if you have any gently used or new items to donate, please reach out.

🎄Tomorrow we are rolling out our Memorial Sponsorship Program. We are honoring some of our beloved past little friends while we ask for assistance in a new Sponsorship program. You will see certain items requested in remembrance of a little one who had a strong love/connection with that supply/need.

🎄We're working hard to get our planner and small desk calendar complete so we can share the a glimpse of the final products with you and begin taking orders. We hope to be able to have this ready to go by the end of the week as well.

🎄This year we are trying something different for our little friends Christmas wishlists.
We will be using Giftster to showcase each friend and some of their wishes for Christmas. For those who want to participate all you will have to do is create an account to see the lists but you will be connected to Amazon to order if you wish. If you would like to send our little ones a gift and rather use a different service, please by all means go ahead. If you need our address you may message us privately for that.

🎄If we're lucky enough we may see an adoption by the end of the week as well. There is one in the process but I can't say anymore 💗

📌 Please know that there is no obligation to support financially in any of these ways at all. Just you being here, your kindness, your sharing our information, etc., is gift enough. We do truly appreciate the help we receive and cannot do this alone.

We wish you a wonderful day today ❤️ Whatever you do today, please be kind to yourself and to all.
