CN Centre with Prince George Cougars Hockey Club
It's puppy party time! We've got some beautiful pups in shelter right now who will be looking for homes in the coming weeks.
Our 'Disney' litter is 10(!!) Rough Collie X German shepherds who will be heading out to some adoption events this week. Come meet them at the shelter, or this Saturday: 5 pups will be at Petsmart and 5 at Total Pet from 11-2. Please come down to give them some love!
We also have a litter of sweet, fat, little potatos who are only 5 weeks and are looking for foster homes to go in groups of 2/3 (or all together would be even better) so they can continue their socialization until they're ready for adoption.
We are open 11-5 Tuesday to Saturday and these pups would LOVE to meet you!

Binny is a fantastic pup who is sweet as pie and always happy, despite his unique medical condition.
When he arrived to us his whole body was so stiff he could hardly move. All of his muscles were extremely tense, like he was flexing every muscle in his body at the same time. Touching him was like touching an animal in rigor mortis (it was very unsettling), and he would basically fall over, stiff as a board, to ask for belly rubs. His face, in particular, was so stiff that if you lifted his lips, they would just stay lifted, unable to relax back into a normal position. His facial muscles had pulled his ears so tight that they sat on the very top of his head. As you can see in the video, he struggled to flex his limbs and moved in a kind of 'rocking horse' motion.
There was some question about Binny's history, and its suspected that he was hit by a car at some point. We weren't sure if this condition was a neurological problem, a brain injury, or something else. As it turns out, it's 'something else'! It seems as though Binny has something called Immune Mediated Myositis- which means that his own body is attacking his muscles, causing them to tense uncontrollably.
Thankfully, the medication trial has been a huge success and Binny is making great strides (literally) towards more normal, comfortable movement. It's looking like, with long term, low dose medication, he is going to have a great life going forward. We are so thrilled with Binny's progress, and his attitude. For a young pup he's had a rough start to life and yet he is full of joy and love. He has never once stopped wagging his tail. If there's anyone who deserves a wonderful life, it's this endlessly cheerful, affectionate boy <3
Binny will require lifelong, low dose prednisone but we do expect him to have a normal quality of life and he shouldn't requir
Puppies, Peggy & Kena
The pup-pocalypse has begun! (Just kidding, but we ARE expecting a huge influx of dogs in the next month and are still desperately looking for foster homes!)
We've got some GREAT puppies who are ready to find their forever homes. These pups are lab/collie/ who-knows-what mixes and are very outgoing, friendly, social, crazy, silly and all the other wonderful traits you would like in a well rounded puppy. They will probably grow up to be in the 60 lb range.
We also met Kena and Peggy, two lovely young shepherds who are unfortunately looking like they'll be major medical cases. Kena has broken all of her canine teeth somehow and they must be causing her substantial pain.
Peggy hopped on out of her kennel and, to our surprise, is missing her back right foot. This injury is old and healed, but she is certainly experiencing pain at her stump as she yelped and cried when it was examined more closely. She'll probably require the remainder if her leg amputated but we'll see what the vet has to say.
If you'd like to help us with great dogs who deserve a second chance head to our website to learn more about fostering, adopting and donating to their medical care <3

Leroy
*LEROY HAS BEEN ADOPTED! YAAAAY!
Look! Look at Leroy!
Such a nice boy. Very demure, very mindful.
Leroy has been with us for more than 4 months with no interest. We understand why, Leroy takes a long time to warm up to new people and sitations, and being in a shelter means new people and a changing environment every single day. He's not a social butterfly kind of cat who really begs for attention (who can relate?) It's hard to get adopted when there are so many other lovely, outgoing cats here that always seem to steal Leroys spotlight.
So here are some facts about Leroy and hopefully the right eyes find this post.
Leroy is about 2 years old. He is healthy, neutered and up to date on vaccines and parasite treatment. He is shy at first, but as you can see, he is a happy, playful boy once he knows he's safe. Leroy LOVES other cats and has really come out of his shell since being introduced to his roomate Polly. He would love be adopted as a pair with Polly , but he would be happy with any other social cat as well. He just really likes having a feline friend. Leroy would probably do fine with polite dogs and older/polite children as well.
If you have some love to share and a bit of time and patience, please come meet Leroy. He would really love for someone to give him a chance and get him out of this shelter.
Visit Leroy and all of our other cats at 1289 1st Ave, Unit 11. Open 11-5, Tuesday to Saturday.
Koa Clefty Kitten
*Update*
Koas bloodwood shows that he is dehydrated and anemic, but nothing else major. This could be good (it tells us he isn't in organ failure or anything else obvious) or bad because it doesn't tell us WHY he's feeling so crummy or why he is anemic (low red blood cells).
All we can do for the moment is supportive care and will recheck him in a few days. He will be getting subcutaneous fluids twice a day, extra heating and back to bottle feeding for the time being. We've got all of our fingers crossed for our special guy.

Koa (our clefty) needs emergency care!
We hoped today would be a name announcement and happy news for our clefty baby but unfortunately he is currently at the vet, needing emergency care.
Today Koa woke up very lethargic, cold and refusing to eat, which is very abnormal for this little fighter. He is dehydrated and seems to barely be able to hold his head up.
We are very worried about him and thankfully the amazing folks at Birchwood Veterinary Clinic squeezed him to see a vet ASAP.
They've got him warmed up and are running bloodwork now to try to determine why he is suddenly doing so poorly when he's been thriving for weeks now.
We have put in way too much time and effort to let this guy fade away now. We all love him so much and are devastated about this turn of events. Today was supposed to be the official announcement of his name, Koa, which means Warrior. Hopefully being bestowed a strong name will give him the strength to get through this as well.
If you're interested in donating towards Koas care today it would be very very much appreciated.

If you can send positive energy, prayers or good vibes his way, that is appreciated too. His care team has worked so hard to get him this far 💓
Now that he's reached a week old we can share this special little boy who has a cleft lip and palate.
We don't know what his future will look like but we would love for you to follow along on his journey 💗
If you're interested in fostering neonates and have experience bottle feeding, please reach out and join our foster roster! We never know when tiny babies like him will arrive and need emergency care.
