We have quite the pair ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ looking for their forever homes ๐Ÿ !

Casper [5894A] and his sister Rosemary [5894B] are 8 week old Great Pyrenees x ๐Ÿ• that were surrendered to the shelter by someone who could no longer care for them ๐Ÿ˜ถ. These 2 little pups were infested with fleas and ticks ๐Ÿชฑ ๐Ÿฆ . On arrival they were a bit anemic, their coats covered in flea bites and scabs ๐Ÿ˜ž. They were given a medicated bath that helps with the itchiness and treated for the parasites ๐Ÿฅ. Feeling much better, these pups are looking for a new adventure filled with love and lots of cuddles ๐Ÿฅฐ! They will likely be a big pups, so a property with a big fenced in yard would be ideal! They will require training, being so young they are eager to learn and please ๐Ÿง !

They have been vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. They will be spayed/neutered at a later date. ๐ŸŒธ

If you are interested in either of them please fill out an Adoption Form: https://webforms.whitby.ca/Legal-Services/Pet-Adoption-Questionnaire

๐ŸšจIMPORTANT ๐Ÿฆƒ ๐Ÿšจ

We are extremely thankful, on this holiday and every day, for the ongoing support from our community and beyond! ๐Ÿฅฐ

What the public may not know is that behind most shelter operations there are many sublet groups that exist in order to keep every animal in need at the forefront ๐ŸŽฏ. Whether it be Team Chelsea lost pet search group, for when an animal is in need of more support than what we could ever crowdfund for and so much more, for the weekly animal transfers ๐Ÿš˜ from overcrowded shelters/rescues that need space (some very long trips ๐Ÿ’•!), who communicate with eachother everyday to make sure all of the animals in their care are given the very best life until they find their furever homes โ˜Ž๏ธ, who offer us below cost medical fees to ensure our adoption program can stay afloat ๐Ÿ’‰, who continue to help all in need ๐ŸŒ, who take on so much during the high kitten / puppy seasons, allowing the shelters to have as much kennel space as possible for other strays in need ๐Ÿก, for allowing us to place adoption cats/kittens into their stores so that they have a chance of meeting an already loving animal owner ๐Ÿ€ and to YOU for simply sharing a post, helping out when you can โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน and supporting a small animal shelter with big dreams.

We hope you have an amazing day spent with friends, family and your furry babies โ˜ฎ๏ธ

Some important info to keep in mind!๐Ÿถ

๐ŸŒŸ Coyote sightings are on the rise, and it's crucial to understand these creatures as a natural part of our environment. ๐ŸŒŸ

Here are essential tips to ensure safety for all:
๐Ÿ’ก Keep an outside light on when pets are outside
๐Ÿ”ฅ Keep your property clean - including your bbq area
๐Ÿ‘‹ Use noise and gestures: - if approached, make yourself big, make noise, and wave your arms to deter them.

Report sightings to Animal Services online.

ADOPTED! Woohoo! ๐ŸŽฏCalling on all our spotted puppy lovers! ๐Ÿถ

Millie is a 4.5 month old Australian Cattle dog ๐Ÿ• x that is looking for an active family to call her own ๐ŸŽพ! She is super playful ๐Ÿˆ and has a lot of energy to burn off, so daily hikes is a must ๐Ÿ”๏ธ! She is also very sweet once she calms down, looking for belly rubs and a lap to cuddle up on ๐Ÿค—.

She is a small girl, weighing 20 lbs and will likely remain around 40lbs fully grown ๐Ÿฅ. Millie does well with other dogs but can be a bit hyper around cats.

Millie has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form:

๐ŸšจCute little Callie is looking for her furever home!๐Ÿšจ

Town of Whitby - Local Government

Callie [5744B] is a 10 week old Husky x Cattle dog ๐Ÿถ that was transferred to us in the hopes of finding a family to call her own ๐Ÿก! This little lady has a lot of energy and sure is keeping her foster family on their toes ๐ŸŽพ! She does calm down - we promise ๐Ÿคž- and turns into a snuggle bug so get ready for some puppy cuddles ๐Ÿฅฐ. Callies mama was also surrendered with the litter, she is roughly 45 lbs full grown ๐Ÿ•. Callie is picking up on training but will require someone who has the time now to carry on with it ๐Ÿง . She would be a great addition to any home, especially with a family who likes to be outside exploring the trails ๐Ÿ”๏ธ!

๐Ÿ’ซ Callie has been vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. She will be spayed at a later date. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form:

๐Ÿงก We care deeply about the well-being of our feline friends ๐Ÿˆ and want to share some important information with you ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ. Recently, we've noticed an increase in incidents involving outdoor cats, and we're reaching out to help keep your beloved pets safe ๐Ÿงธ.

In the past two weeks alone, we've encountered 16 cats who sadly lost their lives due to outdoor hazards ๐Ÿšซ. These incidents included:

โŒ Accidents with vehicles
โŒ Encounters with wildlife
โŒ Exposure to harmful substances

Additionally, we've seen cases of outdoor cats ๐Ÿˆ giving birth to kittens in challenging conditions โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿฆ  ๐Ÿชค โ„๏ธ ๐Ÿฆ‰, leading to health issues for the little ones that are potentially fatal ๐Ÿ˜ฟ.

We recently had a heartwarming ๐Ÿซถ reunion with a cat found in a different municipality, possibly due to unintentional relocation ๐Ÿš˜. These cats are removed from their home and left stranded, which is unfair in this heat โ˜€๏ธ. This highlights the risks of cats roaming freely outdoors.

While it's tempting to let our cats explore outside ๐ŸŒณ, keeping them indoors is the safest option ๐Ÿก. Not only does it protect them from various dangers, but it also aligns with the Town of Whitby's Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw โœ….

๐Ÿง  Here are some ways to keep your indoor cat happy and stimulated:

๐Ÿ“ Provide plenty of toys and interactive playtime

๐Ÿ“ Create cozy perches near windows for bird-watching

๐Ÿ“ Consider building a secure "catio" or enclosed outdoor space

๐Ÿ“ Try leash-training for supervised outdoor adventures

๐Ÿ“ By keeping our cats indoors, we can ensure they live long, healthy lives while also protecting local wildlife. Let's work together to create a safe environment for all our furry friends โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน!

Remember ๐Ÿค”, your cat's long-term health and safety are far more important than a momentary desire to go outside โ˜๏ธ. With a little creativity, we can make the great indoors an exciting place for our feline companions ๐Ÿ™Œ.

๐Ÿ‘’ Our sweet senior Coco is still looking for her forever home!

Coco ๐Ÿถ [5967] is an 11-year-old Retriever x Chow mix with a heart as golden as her fur โœจ. This special girl is on the lookout for her forever home where she can thrive and enjoy her golden years ๐ŸŒธ. While Coco has her quirks, she's truly a sweetheart when given the space and understanding she needs ๐Ÿชบ. Coco is not a fan of other dogs and has a history of aggression towards them, so she needs to be the sole canine in her household ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ. She thrives in an environment where she can soak up all the love and attention, making her the perfect companion for someone who can offer her a calm and peaceful home ๐Ÿก.

Coco has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form:
