Tas the Kangal, ( at the back) is 7 months old, with Angel. Angel is the sweetest, gentlest dog I have ever come across. Mixed breed approx 7 months old. She has been here for two weeks and has been introduced to the pack once she had acclimatized to her new surroundings.These two have become good friends and Tas has taken Angel under his wings. Such a sweet sight to see and a privilege to witness.

DONATIONS. If you e-transfer we do not receive your email. This is frustrating as we would like to be able to say a personal thank-you, especially when large donations come in. You can always message or text us to say you are making a donation and then we can in return, give you a big hug and say thankyou.

And this is why we give a three month probationary period, and if things don't work out you receive a full refund.

When adopting a new pet it takes them time to adjust. When they come in to the shelter they are SCARED!! Give them time. Give them love.

This weekend we have been burning the midnight oil, making room for these two found dumped at a landfill using a mattress to shelter from the rain. Thanks to a donation specifically made for the purchase of pens we were able to revamp our area and add two more pens. Thanks to - you know who you are- these two have a chance at a better life. They are both under a year old and one has just begun to go into heat, no doubt she would have become pregnant and had puppies in the dead of winter. Donations like this really help and we are extremely grateful.

Looking at all the posts regarding animal shelters and pet surrenders and one will see all the comments criticizing owners for their callous behavior. Over the past two weeks, due to a lack of space and finances, our shelter has turned away 14 dogs that owners wanted to surrender. Every dog or cat that we intake receives full veterinary care and the adoption fee for dogs ( cats are free so we lose) used to cover that cost, in short we would break even. Due to the unprecedented number of unwanted or abandoned dogs and pups other shelters began to drop adoption fees and even have free adoption weekends. Which in short means that we have gone from a break even to a $200 to $300 or more deficit on each dog that is adopted. Veterinary costs have risen due to the increased cost of anesthetic, medications, equipment etc. Don't blame the independent veterinary clinics, you're lucky to have one in rural areas, blame if you want, the big pharmaceutical companies. Dog and cat food has more than doubled over the last three years, as with the general cost of living. Last week one of my personal dogs had to visit the vets. It cost me a whole weeks wages, all gone in an instant.
Over the past seven years my attitude has changed to pet owners who call up to surrender their dog. I now have compassion for those who find themselves in a position where they have to part company. Yes there are still those callous owners who just throw away their pets and for those I have no compassion whatsoever.
If you need to surrender a pet due to the high cost of food or a huge vet bill don't think you have to surrender. There are avenues to take that will cut down the financial burden. Vets will take payments, and some rescues can help with advice and support. I have no solution to the over population of unwanted dogs but I will always use my own money, go without food, to help those dogs that need our help like little Joey (pictured) who was found dumped at a landfill.
Yesterday I received a call from a distraught person who had found a number of abandoned dogs and pups one hour east of Moose Jaw, a two hour drive from our shelter. They had called 16 rescues for help as well as the RM. All were full and the RM would not take responsibility. It is about time RM's and councils begin to take this problem seriously and help fund rescues, or implement animal pounds in their jurisdictions and employ Animal Control By Law Officers. The Constitution Act of 1867outlines the division of responsibilities between the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures. Animal Control is the responsibility of you municipal government. You voted for them so make them take their responsibilities seriously and hopefully there will be someone to help and somewhere to take the abandoned, sick and injured, and all the other Joey's left to die in appalling conditions.
