Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.

It is the day we stop to remember the animals we lost…
our pets,
our foster animals,
animals who served,
the homeless,
…and those we could not save.

Every animal rescue - every vet team - every person - who has lived with, cared for, loved, or tried to save an animal, understands. If you are reading this, very likely you understand.

Please feel free to share a photo.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
- from an Irish headstone -

Rest in Peace little Patches, Petra Rose, Binx, Tom Thumb, Tiny Tim, Benjamin Button, Hypasia, Nyx, Old Man Stan, Molly, Diamond, Olive, Flower, Jimmy, Mandarin, Sushi 2, Fynn, and Loki
With Love, Rescue Friends

Ready to support a remarkable animal rescue organization and work with great people?

Events Coordinator Position:
—————————————-

We need YOU to take the lead in organizing small teams to execute a few memorable fundraising events each year.

Highlights:

Tap into the knowledge and wisdom of current volunteers to brainstorm ideas to create events. We are keen to help and be given tasks!

Volunteer Coordinator Position:
———————————————
We need you if you love collaboration! In this role, you would work alongside the Events coordinator and social media team.

Highlights:

Your job would be to gather volunteers to get the job done, whatever that may be. Silent auction? You are on it! Man a festival booth? You are the go-to person to do the reach out and get that booth manned! Foster animal needs transporting from A to B and back to A?
You help find those special volunteers to get that done!

Creative? Work with our social media team to come up with fresh new ideas to recruit new volunteers.

There are many little things we need to organize volunteers around, and a few larger events. We need that key person who knows what the heck is going on and where people are and who is available!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Wowzers, we are seeing a significant jump in shares of our animal posts; our mini-series: Behind the Scenes with our Foster Guardians; our upcoming Fundraising event; and, our Wish-Full Wednesday requests 🩷🥰

Why do we appreciate your shares (and likes) SO MUCH? Here are just a few reasons.

🔵 You literally NEVER know who might see our beautiful, adoptable animals! That shampoo commercial “And THEY told Two friends” is the real deal!!

You ARE our community, you ARE helping, and you are a virtual volunteer - one share at a time.

🔵If you are reading this, five cents says you have a shared passion and YOU extend OUR reach and advocacy for what we do! It brings awareness to the table and that is power 💪😊

You ARE our word of mouth.

🔵You would NOT believe the number of times we get a new person offering something because of a friend’s share! Large or small, everything helps us help our animals!

🔵We can (and do) cross share our posts but also need to try not to overwhelm. Amazing groups have formed on FB and Instagram to get the word out; it is incredible really! So we do our best to utilize without inundating.

We are lucky to also have the support of Mainstreet Unique Innisfail and Pet Valu in Didsbury AB, not only hosting our furry friends but also sharing!

🔵Asking for donations makes everyone weary so we appreciate when you spread the love 🥰 Bottom line is Every.Single.Rescue is overwhelmed and in need, so we know the ask is…a lot and ongoing. That is why we are so thankful to organizations like SkipTheDepot who partner with nonprofits and charities so supporters can donate through cans, rather than dollars. Sharing alternatives to cash is a win-win for us all in this tricky economic climate 😊

🔵 Finally- LIKES are actually helpful! It gives us a sense of our reach and helps us fine tune how to get our message across. Mostly though, it shows us there is a community who cares. We need that 😊

Again, Thank you - from the deepest place in our hearts ❤️

By the way, this is sdoptable Negi 😁

25/08/2024

Solo buddy!! You look so cuddly all cozied up in your comfy bed at Mainstreet Unique Innisfail. I hear they love you and think you are a dashing little man with a great personality. You make everyone smile little friend 🩷 Hang in there Solo - your family will walk through that door soon enough 🥰 In the meantime, enjoy Mainstreet Mansion!
https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/solo/

Our little Solo is still waiting for his purrrfect 🐈 home 😸
Apply to adopt him on Rescue Friends website!!!
He is sure to put a smile on your face 😁

🩷Flashback Friday Celebration🩷

Devon, Tracy, Autumn and Kelly fell in love with these three sweethearts and added to their family one RF furry at a time ❤️❤️ We are so very grateful to you all for giving Pepper, Willa, and Dasher such fantastic lives! Here is what Tracey (mom, and also one of our incredible supporters and RF volunteers) had to say!

PEPPER
One year ago (yesterday) we brought this sweetheart home from Mainstreet Unique Innisfail- best decision ever!!! Pepper is affectionate, vocal, cuddly, mischievous and brings a lot of joy to our home💜

WILLA
Our sweet girl loves hanging out in the yard, relentlessly swinging Barbies by their golden blonde hair, opening cupboards and drawers with ease and helping with herself to some treats, manning the water tap and putting Pepper in his place along with occasionally giving him some love💕

DASHER
Dasher is loving, affectionate and cuddly. He has his own pillow on our bed and sleeps just like a little boy with his head on the pillow! He definitely knows what he wants and gets his point across! He goes to work with his dad and has a cozy “desk bed” and loves his walks and watching TLC with his mom. He has been on many family trips and everyone wants to love on him. We are so grateful to have him- the last Harbin (China) dog on his transport to be adopted. Thankful to his foster mom Dianne K for trusting us to care for this beautiful boy💙

Thank you Tracy, Devon, Autumn and Kelly for giving these little souls a second chance and a wonderful life 😊

The Rescue Friends Team🥰🙏🏼

🩷Flashback Friday Celebration🩷 Devon, Tracy, Autumn and Kelly fell in love with these three sweethearts and added to their family one RF furry at a time ❤️❤️ We are so very grateful to you all for giving Pepper, Willa, and Dasher such fantastic lives! Here is what Tracey (mom, and also one of our incredible supporters and RF volunteers) had to say! PEPPER One year ago (yesterday) we brought this sweetheart home from Mainstreet Unique Innisfail- best decision ever!!! Pepper is affectionate, vocal, cuddly, mischievous and brings a lot of joy to our home💜 WILLA Our sweet girl loves hanging out in the yard, relentlessly swinging Barbies by their golden blonde hair, opening cupboards and drawers with ease and helping with herself to some treats, manning the water tap and putting Pepper in his place along with occasionally giving him some love💕 DASHER Dasher is loving, affectionate and cuddly. He has his own pillow on our bed and sleeps just like a little boy with his head on the pillow! He definitely knows what he wants and gets his point across! He goes to work with his dad and has a cozy “desk bed” and loves his walks and watching TLC with his mom. He has been on many family trips and everyone wants to love on him. We are so grateful to have him- the last Harbin (China) dog on his transport to be adopted. Thankful to his foster mom Dianne K for trusting us to care for this beautiful boy💙 Thank you Tracy, Devon, Autumn and Kelly for giving these little souls a second chance and a wonderful life 😊 The Rescue Friends Team🥰🙏🏼

Adoptable Willow & Sadie are patiently waiting for their new forever home 🩷 Their owner suddenly passed away and Rescue Friends took them in. These beautiful girls are a perfect choice for someone who is looking for a bonded pair who love and comfort one another and also want to be with their people. Willow & Sadie are gentle and sweet and want nothing more than to be with each other and to enjoy life 🩷 They are playful, curious, and intelligent and would make wonderful companions. We estimate they are somewhere between 3-5 years old 🥰 https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/willow-and-sadie/

Negi is almost adoptable! Until then, enjoy appreciating a warm bed straight out of the dryer 🩷 Thank you to foster guardian Jazmine for providing the video and photos 😊 #lil_jdratini

Please listen 🎶 & share this short video featuring foster guardian Karen talking about Adoptable Greg. He is a FABULOUS and gentle older gentleman looking for his forever home. A HUGE thank you to Karen for collaborating on this video, and for her unwavering love and care for Greg as he waits for his family 🩷🩷 And THANK YOU to Sunset Ridge Veterinary Clinic Vet Team for their ongoing support and compassion for animal rescue! Please check out his profile below. https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/greg/ #adoptable #adoption #dogsofbanff #dogstagram #dogsofcanada #dogsofinstagram #adoptme #adopt #adoptdontshop #dogsofinsta #dogsoffacebook

Please share to help find a home for this sweet boy 😊 Seriously, Greg’s grin is almost as big as his heart ❣️Greg is a genuinely sweet and easy-going soul. This older gentleman, around 14-years-old, is a mixture of goofy Corgi and handsome Husky (we think) and around 12 kg. Greg is fabulous with everyone he meets and would do well in most homes who understand older dogs. This boy still loves short walks and is great on leash (in between lots and lots of happy lounging!) Turns out Craig is cat cuddler! 😻He is fully housetrained and an all round great family member. Greg is a seasoned gentleman with some health concerns that could eventually become an issue for him. At this time, we believe, and our vets agree, that he is happy and deserving of a loving family and a soft landing for his forever home. We are looking for a special family to adopt him and spoil him rotten for the time he has left. He would love to spend every minute being your sweet, awesome furry bff 🩷Learn more about Greg here👇👇👇👇👇https://rescuefriends.ca/adopt/greg/ #adoptable #adoption #dogsofbanff #dogstagram #dogsofcanada #dogsofinstagram #adoptme #adopt #adoptdontshop #dogsofinsta #dogsoffacebook

🩷Adoptable Willow and Sadie 🩷 🎶Sound on 😊 Rescue Friends took these sweet little souls under their wing soon after their owner suddenly passed away. They lost everyone they knew and loved. But, with the love & support of their foster mom, Willow and Sadie are ready for their new forever home. Together. They are inseperable 🩷 Willow - Brown Tabby, long hair with gorgeous green eyes Sadie - Siamese Tabby, short hair with beautiful blue eyes If you are looking for a bonded pair of sweet, sensitive, and peaceful furry additions to your family, read what our foster mom says about us! “Sadie and Willow are two purrfect peas in a pod - gentle, calm, and quiet bff's who are a little kitty cuddle puddle! Sadie purrs with unabashed joy when I softly rub her little cheeks, and Willow chirps and offers tiny kisses as a thank you for good chin scritches! Both girls are shy at first and will need some time and patience in their new home to blossom. A soft hand and gentle manner go a long way with these sweet girls, and they would thrive in a quieter, adult home. Sadie and Willow have lived with other cats, but are nervous with the resident dogs in our home. They would likely do well with older children who are gentle and respectful of cats.” Sadie is currently on a urinary diet. Willow had a few teeth removed but it certainly hasn't slowed her down lol. Otherwise, both of these beautiful ladies (between 3-5 years old) are considered to be in great health!

Presenting Adorable Adoptable Lily and her fabulous foster, Isabel🌸 In collaboration with Isabel, Lily's foster mom, we present to you this brief video 🥰🎶 Sound on! (Lily moves a lot and is still camera shy and so photos don't do her justice. We hope this simple video helps show her sweet personality 😀).

With her mom duties behind her, Lily is growing into an absolutely delightful, curious, and friendly young kitten.
