Ignorant Ford and his inept Solicitor General prove yet again that they do not care about regulating puppy mills! New Hope along with Stop Mills Now are working together and voicing our concerns. We need all our supporters to get involved, write an email to Ford to state your disappointment. BE A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS. END PUPPY MILLS!

The PUPS Act is a first step, but more action is needed.

So meet Ricky-bobby,,,,or Ricky ,,or RB . He is got a lot going for him and he couldn’t be more handsome . He is around 2 yrs give or take and still has the puppy curiosity . He is a strapping young man at 90 lbs . He has been with great fosters and now it’s time for his forever home . He is great with other dogs and likes and loves people. He is the classic big goofball. If you think Rb will fit your lifestyle send us a message .

Let me just start off by saying you; Rebecca Estey do not deserve an ounce of my respect and you're not going to get it. Some would say you don't even deserve my breath, but the dogs in your house need mine. We all need you to understand the magnitude of what you are doing. The full intention of this post is to remind you how inhumane and low you are. I cannot even call you a human being. A human being has a heart, and you clearly do not and don't deserve to be referred to as such.

You have dogs in your care crated in deplorable conditions day after day, night after night. A dog crate is just a box with holes in it and putting dogs in a crate is just a way to ignore and warehouse them until you get around to taking care of them properly. Unfortunately, you never get around to caring for them. Your laziness and lack of empathy for the dogs that are rotting in your basement go unnoticed, ( your neighbours hear the tormented sounds from these poor souls coming from your basement). You are depriving these dogs of the opportunity to fulfil some of their most basis needs; such as freedom to walk around, the opportunity to relieve themselves and the ability to stretch out and relax. You deliberately prevent them from interacting within their environment, they spend extended periods of time confined and isolated and have no way to learn how to behave in a human setting. How does she think she’s going to adopt these unsocialized dogs?

Animal neglect is defined as, “the failure to provide basic care required for an animal to thrive”. Confinement is neglect! The dogs in your house of horrors are subjected to neglectful conditions, and it is willful neglect on your behalf! Forcing dogs to spend extended periods of time confined and isolated simply to accommodate your schedule is unacceptable!

New Hope has offered to help numerous times, each offer of help was rejected by you!

If you have donated to Thunder Dog Rescue in the past, please stop. NO MONEY = NO DOGS.

WOOF THANKS FROM MIA!

We know there are a lot of dogs out there but we havnt had one bit of interest for Ricki-Bobby ( I chuckle every time I say his name). He is just so handsome and really needs a person to be his best friend . He is kind of confined during the day and we would really like him to live his best life ,,, he has that black lab sheen and is on the bigger size . Please let us know if you have questions . Evan a committed foster would work.

08/12/2023

If you're looking for a buddy to have fun with and you lead an active life, Ricky-Bobby is your boy. RB is a 2 year old mastiff/lab mix. He would love another playful dog to live with or doggie playdates. This big boy is an energetic pup that needs someone to work on basic commands and leash training. He's a sweet boy, that has been bounced around; through no fault of his own. He would thrive on a routine and much needed exercise (he's got a lot of energy pent up). No cat history and no kid history. Please *SHARE* Ricky-Bobby with your friends. For more information please call/text Val 624-8686 or Keith 621-4585.

WINNIE'S FINAL WISH

She had been pulled from the cramped and filthy cage at the Amish pup mill where she lived all her 8 years. She would receive love, for the first time in her life. For all of her 8 years and until the day of her rescue, Winnie’s only purpose had been forced to continuously pump out litters of puppies, with no time for recovery in between pregnancies. We rescued Winnie when she was discarded because she could no longer produce puppies.

Winnie’s state of health/condition was a testament to the care and nurturing she had NEVER received. Like so many breeding animals confined for years at puppy mills, Winnie had many chronic health conditions. Tumors, painful infections, CANCER, all the years of being bred had taken a toll on her body.

April 5, 2022 to July 6, 2023 – Winnie got to experience all the seasons: her first snowfall, swimming, brisk fall nightly walks in Kaministiquia, naps - many naps under the hazy sun during the lazy days of summer. She was smothered with love when many of you got to meet her at our Valentine’s Day Gala. She got to feel the love of children, the best vet care, and endless doses of affection, but she succumbed despite those acts of kindness. These past 14 months were the happiest of her life! She was a pet, rather than a breeding machine. Heartful thanks to foster mom; Rebecca Maw and her great kids; pampering her with endless kisses, monthly baths, toys, ice cream and treats.

Winnie’s life has a greater purpose than giving birth to hundreds of puppies. In her honor we have created a fund “Winnie’s Wish” – a final last wish of Winnie’s to end puppy mills, end the misery of dogs just like her who have been committed to a lifetime of misery. Her suffering may seem like a tragic exception, but it is the norm for most breeding dogs kept in commercial facilities. Sharing the plight of dogs like Winnie is essential to correcting a broken enforcement system that fails to prevent animal suffering. To pressure government agencies to prioritize the enforcement of humane laws, to confiscate animals who are suffering and where charges are warranted to apply strong penalties. First on our agenda is to raise funds to hire a lobbyist to hammer parliament to pass legislation to end the suffering and to stop commercial breeding. This is a long and expensive fight, moving forward all our efforts at New Hope will be put towards. We need your support more now than ever. Let’s end PUPPY MILLS! All dogs deserve the good life—but as long as the secretive puppy-breeding industry continues to hide the truth, too many dogs will remain victims of its cruelty.

In memory of Winnie please donate to Winnie’s Wish – donations can be emailed to [email protected].

Sleep well my girl, we will miss you immensely. You have forever left a pawprint on all our hearts. We are your voice.
