That’s a Wrap! Mobile Veterinary Clinic in Fort Albany First Nation 🐾

In just 2.5 days, our team provided critical veterinary care to 121 dogs and cats from five remote northern First Nation communities! These clinics are essential for improving pet health, managing dog populations, and supporting our northern neighbours in creating safer and healthier communities.

Clinic Highlights:
✔️ 121 pets received wellness exams, vaccinations & parasite treatment
✔️ 50 dogs spayed/neutered | 9 cats spayed/neutered
✔️ Fort Albany First Nation invited neighbouring communities to take advantage of the clinic while we were there and we were lucky to see dedicated pet owners from Moose Factory, Moosonee, Kashechewan, & Attawapiskat travelling to receive care for their pets!
✔️ Distributed dog food, tie-outs, collars & leashes to support pet owners

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing volunteer veterinary team – Dr. Pauline Van Veen of North of 50 Mobile Veterinary Clinic who makes these clinics possible, Dr. Kelly Udelsman, Aly Elliott – RVT, Katrina Abram – RVT, Karly Devolin, Phoebe Richards, and Carolynn Michlowski.

We were also very lucky to have Katy Riley scheduling all the appointments for the clinic, Fort Albany bylaw officers – Tyler, Isaac, and Ocean – assisting as needed, and volunteers from both Fort Albany and here in Simcoe County jumping in to ensure this clinic was a huge success!

To each of you who volunteered your time - your dedication is truly life-changing, thank you!
Thanks are also very much due to Fort Albany First Nation community members, and Chief and Council, who repeatedly invite our team into the community, making us all feel welcome and appreciated. We are always excited to visit our friends in Fort Albany!
We hope you enjoyed seeing all the clinic updates this past weekend and we hope you’ll follow along as we continue to make lasting change for pets in need across our province. We are dedicated to addressing the root causes of pet homelessness and providing veterinary care for those who don’t otherwise have access is just one way we do that!

Maxxy, the sweetest co-pilot you could ever ask for! During his special adventure he got to cruise around with his guardian for the day, foster Laura and her kiddo! Treated to a Starbucks pup cup and the perfect toy, we think he enjoyed himself.

Maxxy is the full package:
🐾Adorable? Check!
🐾Loves car rides? Check!
🐾Big fan of treats and toys? Double check!

This boy is ready for YOU! Who wants to take him on his next adventure?

28/02/2025

Time to review the stats!

Maxxy:
⭐️ 1 years old
⭐️ 40lbs
⭐️ Husky mix
⭐️ Smart boy excelling in his training
⭐️ Loves other dogs
⭐️ Was great with older dog savvy kids like Eamonn pictured here (not tested with younger kids yet)
⭐️ Pretty much a perfect boy 😂

28/02/2025

The results are in and Maxxy scored a 10/10!

Last week, we did a sneak peek of Maxxy’s adventure day. It really deserves its own spotlight. Maxxy was a perfect gentle each step of the way and as his guardian that day shared:

“Spending the day with Maxxy, I can confidently say he’s a 10/10 good boy! Anyone overlooking Maxxy is cheating themselves out of a fantastic best friend.”

🤩🤩🤩

On his day out, Maxxy flexed his skills (from trips to a store to hiking, meeting a kiddo and even his selfie skills).

We are so proud of his handsome boy.

Maxxy is fostered in Simcoe County, Ontario
He is available for adoption. Please review his profile on our website and submit an application if Maxxy seems like the perfect pup for you 😍

Last week Miss Shelby went for an adventure day - this girl is so adaptable! She fit right in with her family for a day. She made herself at home and was a wonderful houseguest - from the car ride to playing and getting along with the resident dog to hanging out with the kiddos - Shelby was a perfect visitor!

Learn more about sweet Shelby on our website

Adoptable Winifred wants all the kids to know she will eat your vegetables if you can sneak them to her!!!

Families with veg hating children should apply 😂❤️

These beautiful girls are ready to find their forever homes - they made quite the impression at the meet and greets this past weekend.

We are about to make an announcement but it’s an understatement to say we are drowning in puppies. The winter up north is a hard and dangerous time for puppies outdoors so we make room for as many as we can (based on space and capacity).

Kiki, Kyra and Ramona would love to meet their families!! Head to our website to learn more 👩‍💻👨‍💻

26/02/2025

Being cute all day is a lot of work! Maxxy post meet & greet and photoshoot. Being a super model is exhausting apparently

26/02/2025

Shelby deserves the very best home 🏠

We gotta be honest - it’s a little hard to see puppies come and go, when adult dogs like Shelby have to wait much longer. When Shelby first came to us, lots of folks were excited but we had to delay her availability because, surprise! She was expecting pups!

She’s done being a mom and the longer she spends with us, the more it’s clear she is a young girl herself. She loves playing with other dogs. The life of the party. She did super well with adult savvy kids last week on her adventure day.

Not every dog lover wants a puppy! Right? Puppies are a lot of work! A house trained dog who is ready to live a long life with you!?! Shelby is your girl.

This Northern girl will keep you laughing 😂🐾

Applications available on our website

⚡️Lightning wants to check in on you! ⚡️

We aren’t sure why but Lightning keeps being overlooked. We are a little shocked.

He is a wonderful puppy - exposed to other dogs, kids. A great candidate for a family looking to add a furry family member this winter. By summer, you will be hitting the parks together and going on adventures.

Lightning McQueen hopes you will check put his adoption profile so o & if not, can you share his profile? Tag friends! 🐾❤️

Ramona 😴 sleepy after her busy weekend of socializing at the meet and greets.

Ramona is fostered in Simcoe County Ontario. You can learn more about this cutie on our website along with all of our amazing adoptable dogs

Little rescue. Big heart.

Precious Paws Rescue was founded in December 2006 and is based in Simcoe County, Ontario. We do not operate a shelter facility; all of the dogs that we accept into rescue are fostered with volunteers in this area. Precious Paws was officially incorporated as a non-profit in Ontario in 2010 and registered as a charity in 2019. We are a 100% volunteer-run organization.

We receive daily requests for rescue help from animal shelters and also from owners who are no longer able to care for their dogs. Precious Paws accepts all breeds, all sizes and all ages, we are limited only by the foster spaces we have available and by monetary funds. Foster homes, volunteers and donations are always greatly appreciated so be sure to get in touch with us if this interests you!

Precious Paws Rescue ensures that each and every dog we rescue has full veterinary care provided prior to adoption. This includes (but is not limited to) full age-appropriate vaccinations, f***l test and deworming, wellness bloodwork and heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip. We believe that no dog should be adopted out unaltered (unless there is a medical reason prohibiting this) so we practice pediatric spaying and neutering for all puppies that enter our rescue as well. Often the dogs we rescue require additional veterinary treatments to prepare them for adoption and most dogs that we take in end up costing the rescue much more than the adoption fee recovers. For this reason we host fundraisers and donation drives throughout the year so that we are able to continue being available for the dogs who need us most.
