Someone come get this cat. Ralf is sweet and cuddly, and instantly made me feel like I was the most important person in the world.
Don't you want to feel like the most important person in the world?

8 years old, gentle, kind, and VERY pretty. He deserves a good life with a loving family.
Call our adoptions line if you want more info, or just come on down and take him home today 🥰.

If you're looking for a healthy protein source that's as nice to your grocery bill as it is to your body, chickpeas are it:

"100 grams of protein from chickpeas costs $4.50, from tofu $6.20, from kidney beans $5.88, and from chicken: $8. During times of food price inflation, these costs can really add up...

The truth is clear: more eco-friendly, cost-conscious and ethical options exist, and it’s time we focus on proteins that truly benefit the planet, the animals, our health and our budgets."

Bernie is a lovable, lanky boy, and at 8 months old, is still very much a puppy at heart. He’s super affectionate and despite his size (or maybe because of it?) he wants nothing more than to snuggle up in your lap.

Bernie is looking for a forever home where he can shower his new family with love. If you're ready for a loyal and affectionate companion, Bernie is the perfect match for you!
Call adoptions at 204-982-2035 with any qs, and let's find his family. ❤️

Pint size Frankie is looking for his family! He's smart, loves treats, and is fiercely loyal. He'd like to be the only pet in the home, and isn't a huge fan of young kids.
If you want to give this 3 year old boy a good life, and help him be his best self, call our adoptions line at 204-982-2035.

Today is National Bird Day, and we can't go without an update on Kevin the Canary and his human, Kevin (the poet). They're thriving, and the Kevins are really living it up.

"In a glitzy cage with a mirror ball bright,
This canary can groove all right!
Feathers a-flutter; yellow and bold!
He struts and twirls with a heart of gold.

With tiny feet tapping in rhythm and rhyme,
He chirps to the beat, keeping perfect time.
A disco bird! In neon light’s glow!
His moves are fierce, his pace never slow.

Kevin spins with style, his wings spread wide,
Gliding and glimmering with absolute pride.
From perch to perch, he sways away,
Dancing and carefree. Troubles at bay."

- Kevin (with assistance from Kevin, likely) 🧡💜

We have some final 2024 business to tend to - our Fabulous Foster Feature for December: Stacy!

It feels particularly special because, above and beyond being one of our most dog-savvy and big-hearted fosters, she took our girl Freyja (who has been in care for most of her life) home for the holidays to give her a relaxing break from the shelter. Freyja comes back next week to keep up the search for her family, and we know her time with Stacy has changed her life (and showcased what a good girl she is in a home ❤️🐶).

If you've watched any of our Sniff n' Shop features with Global Pet Foods on Grant and our adoptables, Stacy's behind those, too! She's been an incredible advocate for all of our dogs, particularly the behaviour cases, and works hard to help us find forever homes for all of them.

Thank you Stacy, for all you do for the dogs, and for us 💜🧡!

Super friendly Bugs (and his pals) need your help! We're looking for donations of small shred paper and timothy hay for our critters, and tuna (some of the dogs need some coaxing to take their much-needed meds).

If you can part with any of these items, please drop them off to 45 Hurst Way!
Reminder, we're closing early tomorrow, and are closed the 1st ☺️.

Some animals end up in the shelter time and time again because of bad luck - that was Garfield's story. He was in and out of care, had gained a lot of weight, but was still playful and oh so loving. Finally, his forever family found him, and now he's living his best (and healthiest) life.

You did this! It's with your support we can provide care until our animals find their homes, and you still have time to give and see it on your 2024 tax receipt 😉.

"Update on Gypsy (formerly Angel)! She's doing so well!

She loves kids and cats...She's goofy, extremely intuitive, and smart.

She knows how to do some tricks. When I say "cookie," she runs to her kennel and lays down right away.

She loves running in the snow as it is her first winter with a missing leg.

I feel like I've always had her in my life, and it's only been a little over 7 months. She's a natural therapy dog. I'm autistic and she senses when I need help. I've had meltdowns, and she's comforted and soothed me, which has calmed me down.

I would not have thought that a beautiful spirit like hers could be part of my life. How did I get so lucky to have come across her path?

I love her, and we [got] to spend our first Christmas together. 💕"
