**UPDATE-Larry has found a new home ❤️🐾❤️

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT BE MANAGING THIS ADOPTION--WE ARE ON A BREAK RIGHT NOW AND HOPE TO BE BACK AND ACTIVE COME FALL.
PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER DIRECTLY CONTACT INFO IN THE POST.

Meet Larry. He is an 8 and a half year old GSP and needs a new home. He is a typical GSP with lots of energy and love. He is goofy, stubborn, smart, a bit of a sook and full of ideas. He loves to run off leash, cuddle, play training games, and hunt for squirrels.

He needs a home with someone who can give him lots of exercise, love and attention. He can’t be in a home with young children or other pets. Since Covid, he is used to having someone home with him most of the day, but would probably be fine adjusting back to having someone gone for work.

Larry has good recall and does basic commands. He is in perfect health and has all vaccinations up to date.

He doesn’t get along with all dogs (especially unfixed males) so dog parks are not a good option for him.

Owners are willing to help with relocation logistics and or fees. Larry is located in Halifax Nova Scotia.

We are saddened to share the news that beloved Juno has gone to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. Juno was 14+ years old and was loved everyday of her life.
From Lori and her husband:
This is our beloved Juno. We are so grateful to have had her in our lives. Thank you Lynne for entrusting her to us. She took an unexpected turn for the worse this morning and we made the difficult decision. She was such a noble dog; kind, loving, intelligent, athletic and absolutely beautiful! God bless our four legged friends!

We are saddened to hear that Bosco has crossed the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 14 years & 9 months. I was fortunate to foster Bosco until Karen found him. It was a perfect match. Our hearts break with Karens 💔🐾💔. RIP dear Bosco-you were well loved

Just 10 days short of 3 years we had to spend together. The journey has been one I am truly grateful for. Sometimes a very hard one, I still wouldn’t change one bit. This funny, affectionate, outspoken(sometimes bossy!) quirky, loving boy rescued me as much as I did him. Over the past few months degenerative myelopathy, a neurological disease, has slowly progressed and has stolen his mobility but not his spirit! Just as I have witnessed with my dad, the parallel’s became all too similar. Let me just say Neurological diseases suck!!! Running, jumping, playing ball and marathon walks gave way the shorter ones, difficulty climbing stairs, plenty of falls to finally not being able to get up on his own and needing a sling and boot to help him walk. It was slowly stealing his dignity but not his love for life. Other health issues arose quickly and now the time has come to help him fly over the rainbow. To Quote Jon Stewart …. He was tired. He was ready, but I wasn’t. 💔. I will miss you Bosco Boscorelli ❤️ my shotgun rider. Run free and easy with Jackson and the others the way you were meant to. Love you my sweet boy xoxox.. mommy ❤️. Thank you to all the family, friends and strangers who were like angels during his last days here 💕 These are a few pictures of our last days in his fav spot under our big maple tree.

Study: Metal bowls have MORE dangerous bacteria⚠️ than plastic! 🤯

Pet food and water bowls can transmit bacteria, according to research, and while 67% of owners use metal bowls, only about 1/3 of people wash the bowl after a meal, and some only dry wipe, which is how the bacteria party gets started 🤢. And that slippery film in the water bowl after 24 hours? That’s a brew of bacteria🦠 that can be transferred from your dog to you and your family.

The amount of moisture in the food also matters. Wet food (compared to dry) was associated with higher bacteria - and higher humidity levels are likely to create perfect conditions for bacterial growth, especially after coming in contact with dog saliva left in the bowl.

In our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE, we lay out the pro’s and con’s of different types of bowls. Here’s a glimpse of what you need to know:

Plastic🥣: Chemicals in plastic absorb through the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanin, which can cause Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis that leaves your pet’s nose & lips, pink and irritated.

Ceramic:🫖 Hartpury scientists found the most harmful bacterial species (salmonella, E.coli and MRSA) were most frequently found in ceramic bowls because of people continuing to use them after fine cracks in the glaze become visible.

Stainless steel🥄: cheaper quality bowls have been involved in recalls due to heavy metal contamination. Be sure to buy high-quality bowls (18/8 or 304 steel) from a trusted source.

Glass🥛: Durable, kitchen-friendly glass bowls made from 100% borosilicate glass (Pyrex) make great food and water bowls on the floor.

🧼No matter which type of bowl you use, the best thing you can do to protect you and your dog’s health is to wash your bowl after every meal with hot water and soap. In addition, at least once a week, run your bowls through the hot cycle in your dishwasher. You can also coat the bowl with hydrogen peroxide, wait five minutes, then wipe with a clean sponge and rinse.

For more info on bowls, Comment and we’ll message you the link to The Forever Dog LIFE book where in part one titled The Forever Kitchen and the section labelled “Food & Water Bowls", we cover how to choose the best chemical-free bowls🌱 that won’t leach contaminants⚠️ over time.

***PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO HELP FIND UKEE A HOME

URGENT UPDATE ON UKEE (correct spelling)
We need a home (foster or adopt or foster to adopt) for Ukee with a strong male lead.
From his current foster: "I just want to really point out that he is a sweet, obedient and very loyal dog."
Ukee was allowed to sleep on the bed and couch from day 1 of bringing him home and then he growled at the foster when he was on the bed and she walked by. She admits that she is now afraid of him despite him being by her side, excellent on walks, very obedient. She is just afraid and of course Ukee will pick up on this energy.
Please consider giving Ukee a home where you will have the best walking buddy, very well trained, typical GWP.
Contact ASAP as we would like to get him placed quickly.

Thankfully he is safe and was picked up today and brought to his new home in Mississauga. Thank you Nick for being an awesome advocate for your late friends best friend. 🐾❤️

We have till Monday to save him. Please can someone foster this boy!

SOS the shelter just left a message saying he needs to be picked up today. Can anyone near Gatineau foster Yuki while we search for his forever home? Contact us ASAP

Ontario & Quebec folks meet Yuki. 9 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines GWP X. Yuki is in need of a breed knowledgeable home as his owner passed away suddenly.
Yuki was left home without a crate and he slept the day away without any display of separation anxiety.
Yuki was a rescue, adopted by his owner in BC in 2016 and lived happily with 2 cats and another dog. He is nervous on leash, and can be reactionary as it is thought he had been tied up previous to being rescued. He does great at off leash parks.
I spoke with the deceased friend yesterday and he spoke of what a great fun loving dog Yuki is. He has tons of energy still and will need daily mental and physical stimulation. A known characteristic of the GWP is that they are "mouthy". Yuki likes to show his affection by having your wrist/forearm in his mouth (no teeth). His owner had taught Yuki to redirect with an old shoe. He will not display this behaviour if you don't make eye contact with him.
We are looking for a breed knowledgeable home to foster or adopt Yuki who can continue his training and offer him a wonderful loving home. If you have an application in with us please let us know you are interested, if not visit our website and complete the application.
Yuki is currently at the SPCA in Gatineau and they are releasing him to us.
Let’s honour his owners memory by finding Yuki a new forever home.

Your pet’s bedding is freshly washed, a ready nest full of softness, warmth….and formaldehyde?🙀

If you use dryer sheets or other fabric softeners, that “fresh scent” left behind is evidence of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.

Formaldehyde is one of the respiratory irritant VOCs common in fabric softeners, along with acetaldehyde and acetone. But there are many more - researchers found 25 distinct VOCs emitted from dryer vents when these products were used😱 Other common offenders include:

☠️pentane - causes skin and GI irritation

☠️ethyl acetate - on the EPA’s hazardous waste list, causing anemia, changes in white blood cells, and damage to the liver and kidneys

☠️benzyl acetate - absorbed through the skin and damages the pancreas

☠️alpha-terpineol - causes headaches and nervous system disorders

The good news is that your pet can have clean, soft bedding 🛌 without risk of coughing, itchy rashes, organ dysfunction and more! In our new book Forever Dog LIFE, we show you how to make reusable non-toxic dryer sheets that are good for you, your pets, and the environment, plus many more DIY solutions for home and body! 🙌
