✨Reason for Giving✨

Meet Biggie.

Biggie was born in our care to a feral momma who had a very hard start. One of 17 feral cats on a farm, the chances of her surviving another winter was slim. A chance at her litter of kittens surviving was next to nil.

Even in care, her litter didn’t survive—one was lost to mom’s instinctual stress response, and the other passed despite round-the-clock bottle feeding, after being abandoned by the Mama.

Biggie is the one little fighter who made it through. ❤️

Thanks to the love, support, and donations from people like YOU, Biggie has grown into a happy, healthy, playful, and thriving kitten who is now officially ready for adoption!

She’s sweet, sassy, curious, and full of life—everything a survivor should be. 🐾

Without the support and generosity of our supporters on days like Giving Tuesday, we wouldn't have been able to help Biggie or her Mama, or any of the dozens of cats and kittens we took in this year.

YOUR support and generosity saved all of their lives and we truly couldn't do it without you.

If you have the ability to donate on this day of giving, please, think of Next Chapter Animal Rescue.

Think of the kittens like Biggie.

Think of the second chances, the happily ever afters and the Next Chapters.

Think of the lives you save.

You can donate in a few different ways:

🎉🐶Meet Davis! 🐶🎉

If you’ve been looking for a puppy with personality, buckle up… because Davis has LOTS of it!

This handsome little dude is food-motivated to his core—and he makes sure you know it. If you’re not moving fast enough at mealtime, he’ll happily let you know to get things moving. (He calls it “motivational speaking.”)

At night, Davis snoozes like an angel in his kennel, and during the day he’s ready to go, go, go! He’s high-energy, playful, and always up for an adventure.

Walks? He loves them and he's great on a leash!
Playtime? Every waking hour is playtime for Davis!
Zoomies? That's just the way this little guy gets around!

He’s a smart cookie too! Davis can sit, give paw, and is working hard on being a good boy with the bunny in his foster home. (He's getting better everyday!)

Like any puppy, he still uses those razor-sharp baby teeth during play, but he’s learning manners fast. But also keep in mind, he is a connoisseur of socks and slippers... If it’s soft and shouldn’t be stolen, Davis probably wants it...and he'll do whatever if takes to get it!

Davis is sweet, spunky, silly, and full of love — ready to bring endless entertainment, adventure, laugh and joy to his future family.

Davis is up to date on shots (2 of 3) microchipped, dewormed and eligible for a delayed neuter for an adoption fee of $600.

He will be available to meet at Blue Grass Garden Centre Red Deer on Sunday from 10:30 - 4:30 or you can apply to meet him here: https://nextchapteranimalrescue.com/dog-adoption/

🌟Adopted🌟

🎉🐶Meet Koda and Kenai! 🐶🎉

Koda and Kenai were brought into care at a very young age.

Without a Mama and no where else to go, these two (and their brother Balto) would have surely succumbed to the elements if they hadn’t been rescued.

They were bottle fed every three hours for the first couple of weeks and they grew bigger and stronger – and sassier!

Now at just about 10 weeks, these two little fluffballs are ready for their next adventure!

These little ladies are equally adorable, but that’s where their similarities end!

Koda (brown) is full of personality! She has a heart full of curiousity and a nose that always finds her in the middle of shenanigans. She’s always on a mission to find the fun and joy in every situation – whether it’s with her puppy friends or with her people. She NEEDS to be part of the action!

She loves her people so very much and would love to be an adventure buddy with you! She’s curious and fun and will always keep you laughing and exploring.

If you’re looking for a quiet hearted cuddle bug, then Kenai (black) is the girl for you!

She has a brave little spirit – in new situations she is the pup who will stand back and observe – to make sure everything feels right. Once she’s decided a situation is to her liking – well, she’ll jump in with both feet!

But her heart truly belongs to her people. She loves to cuddle in close, soaking up all the attention from her humans – big and small. She wants nothing more than be close and be where ever you are.

She is the calm to Koda’s crazy!

Both of these little girls are ready for their Next Chapter – both will be sweet, loyal companions to anyone who is looking for a fluffy large breed pup!

Koda and Kenai are up to date on shots (1 of 3) dewormed, microchipped and eligible for a delayed spay for an adoption fee of $600. (We will not adopt them out together.)

If you’d like to meet either of these flufferbutts, you can come see them at Pet Valu Timberlands on November 30th.

🎉🚨ADOPTION EVENT!🚨🎉

Come visit us at Pet Valu Timberlands, this Sunday and meet the two cutest flufferbutts you will ever meet!

Koda and Kenai saw their brother get adopted at his first event, and these two girls are ready to go on their own adoption adventure!

Fluffy, sassy and ready for their forever home - these little girls are excited to meet YOU!!!

These little ladies are husky crosses, have had their first set of shots, dewormer, microchip and eligible for delayed spay for an adoption fee of $600.

So come down to Pet Valu in Timberlands from 11 - 2 on November 30th and meet your new best friend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️MEET BOOKED ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meet Sophie!!

This sweet little Cockapoo was brought in my bylaw a few weeks ago. After a lot of back and forth due to her microchip, it was confirmed, that she was no longer wanted, and the rescue could take over her care...

And man...this girl expects some care!

Sophie is a dainty little diva, with a Spaniel nose, a heart of gold and a snore that rattles the windows!

Sophie doesn’t bark when she needs outside. Nosirree, this refined young lady simply walks to the door, stops, and gives you the over-the-shoulder "What's taking you so long!?" look. She is fully house trained and has never had an accident. Because she's a total QUEEN.

She had a crate… and used it approximately twice. Sophie prefers the back of the couch, a pillow throne, or simply being near you — not necessarily on your lap, but close enough to supervise your life. She loves to be close by and would love a house where someone was home most of the time!

At night, she sleeps soundly right beside you, sharing a pillow and yes… she snores. Loudly. Like a tiny, adorable lumberjack. (Not very Queenlike...but shhh...)

Sophie is an absolute darling, but she’d do best in a busy, multi-generational home where someone is home often and there’s plenty of activity for her to observe. She loves people and is especially sweet with children — at first she's a tiny bit timid, but totally melts into their touch and attention.

Now, about dogs…
Sophie is very clear about her boundaries.

She tolerates the small Schnauzer that visits often, but only in a “you stay in your lane, I’ll stay in mine” way.

She walks well with big dogs, but she does NOT want them in her home or sniffing her royal self. A queen is only a Queen if she's the only little lady in the house!

With more slow, positive socialization, she may become more comfortable — she’s already shown improvement. She would love to be in a house without any dogs, but a house with a small dog that will respect her space could be OK too.

She LOVES her walks and needs daily outings, ideally at a pretty good pace. Her Spaniel nose will take you on a full investigative adventure if you let it.

She’s wonderful in the car — no whining, no barking, no motion sickness, just a polite little passenger checking out the scenery.

And in true “Sophie is full of surprises” fashion, she didn’t bark for the longest time… until she decided she should loudly announce any people approaching “her” house. (She takes security seriously.)

Her coat is high-maintenance, and she will need daily brushing to stay comfortable and mat-free.

Sophie has had quite the adventure over the past month or so and while she has every chance, and every reason to be snarky or aggressive, she has not been. Through it all, Sophie has been nothing short of a sweet, comforting, loyal little companion, and she will make a fantastic best friend for the right family.

Sophie is a 4 year old Cockapoo and is fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and spayed for an adoption fee of $450. LOCATED IN RED DEER.
