❤️🤍 Be our Valentine? 🥹☺️😘

Our Shelter staff and furry fluffs 🐈 🐕 have been hard at work figuring out 🤔 how we can make sure your loved ones feel extra special this Valentines Day 🤍❤️!

We thought, what better way of showing your love by donating to the animals in need - today 💝!

Our amazing student, Jennifer, 🏫 has been designing beautiful Valentines Day Cards 💌 for the gift bags! She has also been putting the kitties 🐈‍⬛ and puppies 🐩 to work, making amazing pun-of-a-kind artwork 🖼️ that will be added to each gift bag!

Each gift bag consists of:

1 Cat or Dog toy 🎾 🐁
1 Heart Balloon 🎈
1 Stuffie 🐻
Treats (Cat or Dog) 🥓
Artwork made by a specific animal in the shelter 🖼️
1 Carnation 🌹
Lindt Chocolate 🍫
& more!

Each bag correlates with an animal that painted the artwork for your loved one 💞. You will receive an update on that animal by March 1st 2025! The gift that keeps on giving, feel good moment knowing how your donation helped that animal progress in their search of a furever home 🏡! OR if they are still awaiting a family, take that moment to post about the animal - giving them more of a chance at being noticed!

4 lucky winners will be drawn for a private tour / play session with adoptable animals in our care - planned for a later date! 🎟️

Since the Carnation 🌹 in each gift bag is real, the gift bags must be picked up at the shelter on Thursday February 13th or Friday February 14th between 10:15am - 4:15pm ⏰.

🚨 Donations of $30 can be paid in person at the shelter with reservation OR by sending an etransfer 🚨

For more information about payment please Direct Message or email [email protected] 🐾 ❤️

Thank you for the support and all of the love to our shelter babies! 🐕 🐈‍⬛ 💘

🚨 🚨 🚨 Please share to help get our stolen kitten back into safety. 🙏🩶

It is with heartbreak 💔 that we post one of our adoption kittens has been stolen from our satellite adoption store Pet Valu on Bay Street in Toronto😢. On Wednesday November 27th 2024, around 6:30pm a woman and man broke into the adoption cage, placed one of our kittens into her jacket and ran out of the store 🚫.

We are hoping that by sharing this post someone will recognize the individuals responsible 📢. If you have any information about them or the where abouts of our sweet little kitten, please contact Toronto Police Services 53 Division at 416.808.5300 ☎️.

✅ Please respect the adoption process that Animal Services and Rescues put in place. We only want the very best for all of the animals in our care and that process was unfairly stolen from this sweet kitten 😔.

Thank you for the help 🙏

Currently being spoiled in my new home! 🏡 🩶

The tiniest little monster 🐶 is up for adoption 🥁🥁

Rico 🐶 [5498A] is an 11 month old chihuahua that was surrendered by his previous home who could no longer care for him ❤️‍🩹. He was a terrified little roo upon arrival, not allowing anyone to go near him 🐗.

After a few weeks in foster he is coming around 👏. He is still scared of loud noises, understandably, but loves to cuddle and is obsessed with being a "good boy" for liver treats 🫘! Rico will need a quieter home 🤫, preferably with a female owner. Rico does well with dogs his size, and does not seem to mind cats 🐈. We are looking for a home with no children as he still has a lot to learn in regards to manners 😇! He uses p*e pads pretty well, and loves going outside for walks 🌸.

Rico has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form:

We have quite the pair 🐶🐶 looking for their forever homes 🏠!

Casper [5894A] and his sister Rosemary [5894B] are 8 week old Great Pyrenees x 🐕 that were surrendered to the shelter by someone who could no longer care for them 😶. These 2 little pups were infested with fleas and ticks 🪱 🦠. On arrival they were a bit anemic, their coats covered in flea bites and scabs 😞. They were given a medicated bath that helps with the itchiness and treated for the parasites 🏥. Feeling much better, these pups are looking for a new adventure filled with love and lots of cuddles 🥰! 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 🧠!

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

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

🚨IMPORTANT 🦃 🚨

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

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 🎯. 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 🚘 from overcrowded shelters/rescues that need space (some very long trips 💕!), 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 ☎️, who offer us below cost medical fees to ensure our adoption program can stay afloat 💉, who continue to help all in need 🌍, 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 🏡, for allowing us to place adoption cats/kittens into their stores so that they have a chance of meeting an already loving animal owner 🍀 and to YOU for simply sharing a post, helping out when you can ❤️‍🩹 and supporting a small animal shelter with big dreams.

We hope you have an amazing day spent with friends, family and your furry babies ☮️

Some important info to keep in mind!🐶

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

Here are essential tips to ensure safety for all:
💡 Keep an outside light on when pets are outside
🔥 Keep your property clean - including your bbq area
👋 Use noise and gestures: - if approached, make yourself big, make noise, and wave your arms to deter them.

Report sightings to Animal Services online.
