🎄HOLIDAY UPDATE FOR RILEY🎄

This is Riley’s third Christmas with his family and he still makes them laugh with his antics. Whether he’s naughty or nice, Santa would have a difficult time saying no to this little fellow. Riley is not taking any chances and is waiting under the tree to say hi to Santa and make sure he leaves some goodies for him on Christmas Day.

‼️ ADOPTION OPPORTUNITY ‼️

Meet Max. He is a 12 year old lab/mastiff cross and weighs around 50 kg. Max is a loveable, gentle soul. He was rehomed last year after his lifetime owner’s health declined. His new family planned to look after him forever and have given him a loving, playful home but sadly their housing circumstances changed unexpectedly and they cannot take Max with them. The family very much wants to find Max a loving home to live out his final years. But time is of the essence and Max really needs a new “furever” home or a temporary foster home before the end of the year.

A bit more about this gentle giant. He loves humans and will bond quickly to a new loving person or persons. He is friendly with everyone he meets and is fine with other dogs - he kind of ignores them. He hasn’t had a lot of exposure to kids or cats, but also seems to ignore them.

Max has arthritis in his hind end which causes him aches and pains and makes it difficult to climb a lot of stairs. However he is responding very well to medication (he has a Librela injection monthly) and can now manage a few stairs and can get into a low car easily and a higher car with a bit of help or a ramp. He doesn't really like going for walks although he walks well on a leash but is very playful around the house and will wander happily around his yard.

He is fully house trained and like any lab, enjoys treats (especially cheese and peanut butter) and his food. He can get an upset tummy with chicken but has found a dry food he enjoys. He cannot be trusted with soft toys as he rips them apart and devours them, but he loves his hard rubber bone and ball and will play fetch in the house endlessly. The most lethal thing about him is his tail. It wags all the time and can clear a table in an instant. He loves being brushed but is not so keen on his nails being clipped!

Are you the next companion for Max ready to receive all his love and attention? Please contact Kirsten at [email protected] to inquire about welcoming Max into your home.

12-year-old Kaos has brought a lot of joy (and yes, a bit of chaos) to his forever foster home since arriving a month ago. He is a big sweet goofball who just wants to be with people, following his foster mom everywhere she goes and spreading joy along the way with his expressive personality and friendly nature. He loves to play ball, go on adventures (walking or driving), and at least twice a day, flop across his foster mum’s lap for a full-body rub down, ideally followed by a nice nap. His foster family is very grateful for the chance to have a little Kaos added to their lives.
Since this year will be his first Christmas in his new home, he’s not sure if Santa will know where to find him. Don’t worry Kaos. We sent him an email.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

❤️🪖🇨🇦 Lest We Forget ❤️🪖🇨🇦
