A HUGE thank you to Amanda, Steph, and their merry band of helping hands for running this event ❤️🎄

23/12/2024

The Holiday Season is an exciting time for humans, but it can be overwhelming for our furry friends! New people, sounds, and smells can be a lot to take in and can lead to undesirable situations. The best plan is a management plan over the holidays!

Also - please note that our team of volunteers will be celebrating with their families, so responses may be slower over the holidays ❤️🎄

Does your dog have any special needs or medical conditions? She has no teeth due to total mouth extractions and a slight issue with her right leg due to confinement in her previous life. She should be lifted up and down from higher platforms like the couch or car.

Does your dog have any or display any aggression (toys, food, people, leash reactivity): No

Is your dog playful: She’s playful in her own way and likes the attention of dogs she knows. She enjoys following you around and playing with you, but not in the traditional sense or with toys.

Describe the dog's energy level: Low

Does your dog like to snuggle: She LOVES to snuggle. We joke that Kiwi only cares about “uppies.”

Kiwi is an incredibly cuddly and loyal companion who loves nothing more than being with her people, snuggling close, and following them around. The ideal home will understand her low-energy, affectionate nature and provide her with the love and care she so deserves.

This week, we said goodbye to sweet little Meadow and Kiki. They were 2 of the 8 yorkies we brought into care in October, and unfortunately the damage from their previous living situation took too much of a toll on their little bodies. These were two very sweet and gentle dogs who deserved homes of their own. We’re very grateful to Meadow’s foster Annemarie, and Kiki’s foster Debbie - who showed these dogs what love and compassion feels like … even if it was only for a few weeks. If you’d like to donate towards the girls’ care, or their sibling’s upcoming dental surgeries - we would gratefully accept EMTs to [email protected]. Rest In Peace Meadow and Kiki, say hello to Riverview’s furry friends that have already crossed the rainbow bridge. Please be patient with our team as we mourn the loss of these two sweet souls.

Rescue comes with heartbreak, but we open ourselves up to it in the hopes that we can help animals in need. What we don’t expect is for that heartbreak to be caused by a fellow “rescue”. On July 26th, 2024, Riverview Rescues placed 10 cats with Eastern Ontario Cats (EOC) from our Manitoba pull. We were notified that 2 of those cats went on to have kittens, and then communications ceased and we were not updated again. News began to unfold that EOC was operating in a way that was contradictory to the core beliefs of animal rescues, as well as the welfare of the cats in care. Despite multiple attempts for a welfare check by one of our team members and Jackie Gauthier (@Jackietotherescue) we were brushed off and told our cats were all fine. We continued to press for more information from EOC, requesting pictures, updates, and inquiring about bringing the cats back into our care - but we were told that the cats were doing well and that some of them had even been adopted. In late September, Jackie was contacted by EOC with a request to help with 30 “shy” cats. When Jackie brought this to us, we reached out to the founder again, offering to help and saying we would try to help with the “shy” cats but still needed information on ours. On the evening of October 8th, 2 rescuers received a disturbing message with pictures from the owner of the home occupied by the founder of EOC. They quickly identified one of the cats in the photos as Riverview Rescues’ missing cat and drove over 2 hours to save them. We anxiously awaited news on the rescue effort - and thanks to the hard work of Jackie, and the team from Biscuits & Purrs Cat Rescue, the cats were rescued and removed from EOC’s possession. Unfortunately, of the 25 Riverview cats unaccounted for, only 2 of those removed were ours. With knowledge of their conditions and situation, we began intake for all 6 of the abandoned cats. They were emaciated, riddled with parasites, and covered in urine a
