SUNSHINE UPDATE
Momma Sunshine had her vet visit with the awesome Dr. Lindsay this afternoon 🥰 And she was perfect 😍 She loved meeting all the staff, and the liver treats were gobbled down. She was very well behaved for her physical, and we had no problems getting everything done that we wanted to ❤️
Today she had her full exam, fecal w/giardia check, 4DX, DAPv first booster, and microchip. She also picked up a dose of Advantage Multi as that's nursing mom friendly. I'll apply it once we get the test results back, 🤞crossed for no surprises 😅 We will do her bloodwork once she's put on some weight (similar to our plan for Nellie), as we can anticipate it will show certain deficits/anemia, and likely a parasite burden. So it's currently scheduled with her next visit in 4 weeks. Aside from being underweight, she has some mild tartar on her teeth, and she does have a bit of a bow legged stance in the rear, typical of most (byb) bully breeds. Mobility assessment was normal. But overall, a good report, and I'm glad nothing else has popped up so far 🤞 I'm expecting parasites on the fecal, as she's still having diarrhea, and given her background, would not be a surprise. I'll keep you posted there!
Afterwards we head across the street to Ren's, as she needed some winter gear, as I don't want her loosing a single calorie to the cold! Thankfully we had a little still in the bank account after the visit, so she picked up a sweater, and coat, to keep her snug as a bug! I had hoped to get you some better modeling shots, but by the time everything was said and done I realized we had now been away from her puppies for the maximum amount of time that was appropriate, so it was best we head back home. But rest assured she'll have more photos coming in future days :-) I think the burgundy looks great on her! She did really well in the store, was slightly suspicious of the artificial dog at the end of the aisle, but she did go up to it and check it out. She was v
BABY SQUISHES LOOKING FOR SPONSORS!
First, enjoy some nursing squishes 🥰 Ignore the obnoxious radio in the background. I swear it doesn't seem so loud in-person 🫣
After my recent puppy experiences, my plan for the new year, and puppies going forward, was to enroll them with pet insurance at time of birth/arrival (and potentially all incoming dogs 🤔). I alllllways seem to get the special cases and surprises, where things aren't routine 🙃 And Tako will tell you, how valuable it is to have! Had I put it on Cucumber and Durian when they arrived, the rescue's costs would have been significantly less. So, unexpectedly, I have these 4 little babies, who currently are chubby, and happy, and it's the perfect time to get them enrolled! But of course, there's still the monthly premium, and that's where you come in 😁
I'm looking for sponsors to cover their monthly fees, to get them covered. I'll post the SS cost in the comments. I've set it up on my usual; $200 deductible, and including the extra coverage. If there is anything orthopedic, the extra is invaluable coverage, and has immensely helped me with Tako. And the father of these puppies is reportedly a GSD, so we know prevalence of skeletal abnormalities could be high. And the other extra I include, because it'll give you up to $500/(human) hospital stay towards boarding, which if they are still with me at that time, would be extremely beneficial. And the HUGE benefit of going with Trupanion as well: paying direct to the vet! Which means less urgent fundraising for the unexpected, save for the few specialists that don't do direct billing yet.
$132.14/puppy + a one time $35 dollar enrollment fee. It seems like a lot, but it truly isn't, compared to the costs of veterinary care these days. And it would give them, and the rescue a lot of financial security for their future.
As this is an ongoing cost, preference for those, that will sign up through our Patreon, for regular monthly contributions. Patreon

Remix working on cooperative care! Her spay date is coming up, and ECollars (Elizabethan Collars) can be scary for dogs. With her personality, we knew it would be best to introduce her to it prior to surgery day. Her foster mom started the intros yesterday, and so far so good! This is a good skill for every dog to learn, because you never know when they might need to wear one ;-)
HE'S ALL DONE!!
Durian has finished his long day at movh, and we're heading home! Thank you so much everybody who donated towards his care today. I have amazing news, there was no bill today! This means I can use that money towards some of the other bills that are due today, which is fantastic. Plus put gas in the tank to get home, as the light came on just as I pulled in the parking lot, lol! Hopefully we'll have results Monday or Tuesday, and then we can formulate a plan to give our best little man, an amazing long life. I will keep you updated as soon as I hear anything. Please remember $5 Fridays still going, as we do have other bills to pay, as well as our ongoing debt. Your five dollars truly makes a difference in the life of all the dogs here, and the future dogs that I hope to be able to help down the road. Thank you always for your support, much love for me and Durian!

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT
This boy has been on my waitlist since APRIL. His patient owner is continuing to work with him, while waiting for that coveted rescue spot. He has received ZERO interest, like all of the others on my waitlist :( He is getting urgent, and I hope that this video might help him find an interested person or family. He is a WORKING GSD, and will not be considered for homes that aren't going to meet his needs. Message the page for an application, if he might be the one for you!
Original post:
This handsome 18m old M is hoping for a rescue spot! He is available for foster to adopt, and will secure a spot in rescue with a potential matched app in progress. He is a high drive, byb working line dog.
- Currently very reactive to other dogs on & off leash
- Not suitable for homes with children/cats
- Resource/guarding the property inappropriately
- Good in crate
- Loves car rides
- Good ball drive
- Has obedience foundations
All dogs will be fully assessed and vetted by Inugoya before placement. If he sounds like a potential match for your home, please message the page with your email address to start the process. If you are looking to adopt, and he's not a potential match, there are countless others waiting that can't be posted publicly. Let me help you find your forever match!

LOOK AT HER GO!
Move over Winterberry, you've got competition! Remix's foster dad took her out today, to see if she'd like rollerblading, and I'd say it was a success 😁 Fear not, now that we know it's something she clearly loves, she'll get an appropriate harness for the sport ;) Love seeing her getting out, and putting that energy to good use!
ADOPT ME!
Today was an Atlas day! We joined Remix's foster mom for a hike post-vet visit. The fall colours are lovely! Atlas was absolutely full of beans, so we didn't get too many poses, but he's still very handsome 🥰 Atlas would very much like to find his forever family! Check out his details here: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/36354114-niagara-falls-ontario-german-shepherd-dog Please share!

Remix is working hard on being a good girl to take her medication! Everyone knows meds aren't fun, and without that hidden lab I'll-eat-anything gene, suspicion reigns supreme haha! Her foster mom is working really hard on keeping a positive association with her medications, so that we can get them into her and she can clear her protozoa friends. We still have $688.76 remaining on the account which we absolutely need to clear, before we can have any further veterinary services provided. This leaves us in an extremely precarious position should another emergency arise. Please keep sharing our fundraisers, so that we can clear that balance today. You can donate by etransfer to [email protected] or directly to the clinic, Martindale Animal Clinic 905-682-5551
Thank you!
I wasn't going to post an update until tomorrow, because I need to focus on Durian right now, but I absolutely can't hold back on posting this adorable video! Remix arrived into her second potential foster to adopt home today, and you have to check out these ridiculously adorable hops! 100% reminding me of a fox right now 🥰 This little sweetheart is just fantastic! For everything she's been through recently, she's doing remarkablely well, and she gets to enjoy a nice slow decompression now. I'll keep you posted!
Thank you to those who entered our contest on Toonie Tuesday to try and help our post go viral. Unfortunately not too many people completed the tasks to enter, but every share is a step forward. Congrats to our winner!
Thank you so much to Margaret for donating the prize! A $50 GC to PetSmart 🥰
SAFE!!!
I am so excited to introduce the newest member of the Inugoya family. It's been really, really hard lately, having to keep saying "no", and sending coutless dogs to their end 😔 This time I got to say "YES"! Look at this awesome girl! We don't know 100% what she is, but she's small and fabulous! Weighing just under 17 kilos, she's a little fluffy sprite of a thing, and her time was up. Likely not even a year of age, this is the situation facing many, many dogs here in Canada right now. Simply due to lack of space and no adoptive homes 😔 Thankfully this girl is one of the lucky ones. I made a post and someone reached out and said 'yes I can offer this dog a future'. So I was able to connect within my shelter partner and say yes I can help this dog, and just now at noon, she's getting her freedom ride!
She's going to need the works, so funds are needed. To sponsor, join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/inugoya/membership To donate: eTransfer [email protected]
As she is being fostered in the Ottawa area, we will be connecting with a new veterinarian, as logistically it doesn't make sense to drive her back and forth. Details to come!
Please welcome new girl to Inugoya! We've got you beautiful, you are safe ❤️
Thank you very much to everyone who shared Delilah's post. She's up to 163 shares. Unfortunately still not a single inquiry :-( Those of you that met the requirements by midnight the day of posting, have been entered in the raffle for $50 worth of Lottery scratchers! Congrats to our winner, and thank you so much for your ongoing support!
AND THE WINNER IS....
Thank you to everyone who entered our Pampered Chef raffle! After cost, we made $155 for the rescue. Congrats to the winner!
DURIAN UPDATE
I debated whether to post this video or not now that I am home, as there has been a development with Cucumber. I'm not ready to post that update at this time. I will post further information in that regard in the morning. It is not good news. Please respect that I will discuss this tomorrow. The video is valid for Durian's information at this time of posting. Thank you.
