🚨 Update on Sir Cornelius Pannus – More Help Needed 🚨

Our sweet Sir Cornelius Pannus, the resilient German Shepherd who was hit by a car, had to be taken back to the vet this morning due to another issue arising. He is receiving the best care possible, but his medical needs continue to grow.

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to cover some of his initial treatments, but we still urgently need donations to help with his ongoing care. His vet bills now include:
✅ Emergency surgery for facial trauma
✅ X-rays, pain management, and antibiotics
✅ Treatment for corneal pannus (a lifelong eye condition)
✅ Additional vet visits for continued complications

Despite everything, Sir Cornelius remains gentle, strong, and full of heart. We are committed to giving him the care he needs, but we can’t do it without your help!

💙 Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! If you’re able to contribute, donations can be sent via e-transfer to:

Urgent Help Needed for Sir Cornelius Pannus

We need your help for a very special dog who has been through so much. Sir Cornelius Pannus was hit by a car and suffered significant trauma to his face, requiring surgery, X-rays, pain management, and antibiotics. During his evaluation, he was also diagnosed with corneal pannus, a chronic eye condition that requires lifelong treatment with special eye ointment.

Despite everything, this sweet boy has shown nothing but patience and kindness. Estimated to be around 9 years old, he is resilient, but his medical needs have resulted in a very large, unexpected vet bill. We may also need to take him back for a drain if his healing requires it.

Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to us and will go directly toward his vet care. If you’re able to contribute, please send e-transfers to:

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing his story to help us get him the care he deserves. Thank you for supporting Sir Cornelius on his road to recovery! ❤️

✨ Gemma – Your Future Adventure Buddy! ✨

Everyone, meet Gemma! She’s 4 years old, fully house-trained, fully vetted, and 100% Good Girl Certified™. Seriously, if being a perfect pup were a sport, she’d have Olympic gold.

Thanks to the amazing Derp Dog Studios, Gemma had her very own glamour photoshoot, and wow—she’s a natural model! (Tyra Banks, take notes.) She nailed the “sweet and soulful” look, but don’t be fooled—she’s also a goofball who will happily keep you entertained with her quirky personality.

🚗 Bonus Feature: Gemma is a car ride connoisseur! She’s been logging lots of miles lately and is absolutely perfect in a vehicle—calm, docile, and a pro at window gazing. If you’re a long-haul driver, work on a lease site, or just love road-tripping and adventuring, Gemma is your ultimate co-pilot. No backseat driving, just pure good vibes and adorable nose prints on the window.

Gemma is looking for her forever home through Alberta Animal Services in Red Deer. If you need a loyal companion, a snuggle enthusiast, and a bestie who won’t judge your life choices (unless you don’t share your snacks), Gemma’s your girl!

📩 Email: [email protected] to adopt this supermodel sweetheart!

Huge thank you to Reagan’s Dog Zone for Gemma’s wonderful groom!

On March 12, Gemma was treated to a fantastic grooming session, thanks to Reagan’s generosity. Not only does she do an amazing job with small and medium-sized dogs, but she also has a huge heart for all animals. Reagan has been running her grooming salon in Red Deer since 2001, and with two dogs and a large cat of her own, she truly understands how to care for our beloved pets.

Beyond grooming, she also offers pet sitting from her home for dogs of all sizes—so if you’re ever in need of a trusted, experienced caregiver, she’s the one to call!

Thank you again, Reagan, for your kindness and for making Gemma look and feel her best! If you’re looking for a top-notch groomer or pet sitter, we highly recommend checking out Reagan’s Dog Zone! 🩵🐾

(Now what could we possibly have up our sleeves that Gemma would need a spaw day? ... stay tuned!!!!!)

OH HEY THERE, I'm Gemma! 🐾

I’m a 4-year-old Lab mix with a heart full of love, a tail that never stops wagging, and ears that are excellent at catching snacks (or, you know, sound—same thing, right?). Some humans abandoned me, but that just means I'm extra ready to find my forever human! Spoiler alert: it's YOU!

Here’s what I bring to the table:

House trained: Yep, I know how to keep my business outdoors.

Great with dogs: Wanna play? I’m your girl. Wanna chill? Also, I’m your girl. Seriously, I’m like the doggie version of “let’s just vibe.”

Likely good with cats: I’m not totally sure, but I think I’d be fine. We can totally give it a go—just know I’m the kind of dog who respects boundaries. (Unless we're talking belly rubs, then there are NO boundaries.)

Goofy as heck: If you like laughs, I’m your gal. I’ll probably do something silly just to see you smile.

Active AND chill: I’m down for adventures, hikes, and zoomies around the yard. But, let’s be real—I'm also 100% up for couch cuddles and Netflix marathons. (Pro tip: I’m great at napping between episodes, just sayin’.)

So if you're looking for a dog who's a total package of fun, love, and a bit of quirky, I'm your girl! Let’s go for a run, then snuggle up and binge-watch your favorite shows. Apply now to meet your new best friend (and maybe even a Netflix partner in crime) – I promise, I’m the Gemma you’ve been searching for! ❤️

PS: I’ll be waiting by the door with my tail wagging and a big ol' smile. Don’t keep me waiting too long!

A note from staff:

We just want to add that this past weekend while her kennel neighbor, Mr. Noodle was actively taking a violent seizure - Gemma alerted the officer that something was wrong by barking aggressively and excessively which is out of character for her, which in turn allowed us to get him the help he needed, quickly. Gemma is an incredible dog and anyone would be lucky to have her in their lives.

Adoption fee: $577.50 spayed, microchipped, DHPP and Rabies Vaccinated and dewormed.

Please email [email protected] for an adoption application.

💙 Mr. Noodle Update 💙

Mr. Noodle has spent the last 24 hours at the Animal Emergency Hospital receiving around-the-clock care. He suffered another grand mal seizure around 5:30 last night, but thankfully, there have been no further episodes since.

Jenn and Sophia visited him last night, and while he was extremely dysphoric and irritated at first, he eventually calmed down and did great overnight.

We’re incredibly grateful that The Rescue Collective Foundation has stepped up to take Mr. Noodle into their care. They have an experienced foster who specializes in seizure dogs, giving him the best chance at a stable and happy future.

We still need to raise $352.38 to cover his emergency medical bill. If you’re able to contribute, every little bit helps!

Our sweet Gemma got spayed by our friends at Lomsnes Veterinary Hospital today. While we're busy giving her lots of love, we thought we would remind you that this sweet 4 year old Labrador Retriever X is still available for adoption directly through our facility.

Gemma is a large breed dog that thinks she is a lap dog. She would like nothing more than to curl up on your bed or couch and binge watch your favorite shows with you. She is completely housetrained, and during her month in care has not had a single accident. She is an active dog who enjoys playing with other dogs, but equally loves taking long afternoon naps. She is non destructive, and respects her toys and kennel space. She is a very polite house guest!

Gemma walks nicely on a leash, but is very timid of vehicles and we believe this stems from how she was found. Our sweet Gemma was found running after a vehicle who dropped her off until her paws couldn't handle the burning of the ice under them any longer. We think in time with positive reassurance she would be able to associate a vehicle with happy memories, but she will need some time and patience.

Do you need a new best friend? Gemma would love to meet you!

The update we couldn't wait to share with you! We are on day EIGHT today. Eight long days of Jenn and Sarah fighting to keep these 5 puppies alive. We're happy to report they're passed the worst of it! These happy pups have good appetites now, and their guts are doing well. They are currently still on medication, eating Gastro food with Fortiflora and getting stronger and healthier each and every day. It has been an exhausting eight days, but we are so happy that these 5 came out on top. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case and owners/rescues that deal with Parvovirus don't always get happy endings. They will continued to be quarantined and monitored closely and next weekend we will retest them. Once a 14 day hold period is up (from this past Sunday) we will be able to transfer to a rescue, and hopefully just in time for Christmas! Our strict cleaning protocols will remain in place for the unforeseeable future. Without your support, none of this would have been possible. We are so appreciative to those who have donated to their care, those who are helping us stock up on supplies to alleviate the burden of purchasing hundreds of dollars of cleaning product, specialty food etc.. Fun fact: we have used 20 jugs of bleach since late last week! (This isn't including Prevail or Virkon usage) Aspen, Tinsel, Spirit, Claus and Buddy are sending their wet, slobbery kisses to everyone who made it possible for this happy outcome.

ADOPTED If you're looking for a loyal companion, look no further! If you have any name suggestions for this big guy, we would love to hear them. Please considering sharing in hopes we can find a farm/acreage for this beautiful guy. Top 5 things to know: -He is a climber, he will escape a kenneled area in a matter of seconds. He prefers to free roam. -He is housetrained -Good with dogs, gentle and an overall lovely demeanor. -He loves a good belly rub (or 7.. we basically give into his requirements of aggressive belly rubs all day, everyday - look at his face, how could you not!) -He is a large breed LGD X, he is currently patrolling our exercise yard, keeping our dogs, cats and staff safe. He needs a job to do. He loves snoozing in the sun and shade. Adoption inquiries can be sent to [email protected]

Chewie is getting ready for his big meet and greet on Monday and loving every second of it! A big shout out to Emerald Pelletier for stopping by the shelter today and helping us get him ready for his big day!!
