🐾 SWEET SENIOR DOG NEEDS NEW HOME! ♥️🏡

Meet Lester: Your Loyal and Loving Companion

Basic Information
Name: Lester
Age: Approx 12 years old
Breed: Lab bully mix
Energy level: Low
Weight: Approx 70 lbs
Spay/Neuter: Neutered

More Information
Dogs: Best with large dogs.
Cats: Lived in a home with a cat.
Kids: Has lived with kids previously
Crate Trained: Has been fully crate trained
House Trained: Yes
Behavioural Needs food or other): Does not like to share food, treats, or toys with other animals.

Background: Lester came to us in 2021 from a rescue in Texas through our partnership with Project Freedom Ride and was adopted by a wonderful family, however his family is no longer able to keep him due to some accidents involving their small dogs and resources.

Lester is a lovable, gentle giant who doesn't quite understand his own size. At 70 pounds, he thinks he's a lap dog and adores being as close to his owner as possible. With a heart full of love, Lester is best suited to homes with larger dogs or as a solo pet, as his playful nature can be a bit overwhelming for smaller pups and cats.

Due to his age, his back legs can get a bit sore after too much exercise. His exercise needs are modest, with two 20-minute walks a day being enough to keep him happy and healthy. Indoors,

Lester is the picture of calm, but he also has a playful side and he's not a fan of fireworks or thunderstorms, which can make him quite anxious. He loves to cuddle and engage in play, often displaying his puppy-like play bites that are always gentle and endearing.Lester is well-behaved on a leash, walking calmly without pulling, though his off-leash behavior is still unknown. He has a stronger bond with larger dogs and may require some patience and understanding when interacting with other pets due to his possessive tendencies.

This sweet, calm, and gentle boy thrives on human companionship and will be your loyal shadow, following you from room to room and curling up nearby whenever you settle down. Lester's quiet presence is a comfort, as he rarely barks and is always content to be near his people.Lester is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention or share space with other large dogs. He can be possessive of food and people so it is best if he is not in a house with smaller dogs.

If you're looking for a devoted and affectionate companion who will fill your home with love, Lester might just be the perfect match. He handles being alone well, but he will always be happiest when he's by your side, ready for a cuddle or a gentle game of play.

PLEASE SHARE Lester's plea for a new home! We are looking for a

foster to adopt home, so if you are interested please reach out to us or email us at [email protected]

🐾 Happy National Dog Day 🐾

This day was created to honor and celebrate all dogs; mixed and pure – no matter shapes, sizes, age and breeds – and to encourage adoption to all those who have yet to find a home and a family forever.

August 26th helps to galvanize the public so that they can recognise the number of dogs that must be rescued on a yearly basis, from pure breed rescuers, rescues, and public shelters.

It is all about paying tribute to these incredible animals who work selflessly to bring comfort, keep us safe, and save lives.

So today, say THANK YOU to your pup for the joy, comfort and love they give us everyday ❤️

We saw this one another page and had to share because many don't realize how bad the current rescue climate is.

This is the sad truth ❤️‍🩹🐾

Tonight our founder Kelly and her 200lb Caucasian Shepherd, Bear, will be airing on the TV show: Pets and Pickers!

A look at how the Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS) Animal Hospital works tirelessly to offer low-income pet families access to top healthcare.
His episode was surgery for his CCL, a procedure most us bully owners know all too well!
His was not as straightforward due to his size, as even getting him through the door took four people!

Tune in to the Animal Planet show or stream it through a number of different platforms 🐾

We know you get it 😉❤️🐾

WE ARE STILL FUNDRAISING!

Between the GoFundMe and the Drag Bingo night we have raised just over $10k which is so amazing 🫶

We still have another $10k to go to bring the rescue back in black. We are meeting with our attorney next week and hopefully we'll get approval to post our legal receipts for transparency.

Even though we are currently penniless, it hasn't stopped us from helping rehome Lester and Jimmy Dean, and continue to find the perfect home for U*i 🐾

We have over 20,000 followers on this page and if each one of you gave just 50 cents we would reach our goal overnight so please do not think that even a dollar isn't going to make a difference because every penny counts!

With a heart full of love, Lester is best suited to homes with larger dogs or as a solo pet, as his playful nature can be a bit overwhelming for smaller pups and cats.

Lester is a loyal companion who will thrive in a home where he can lie by his owner's side for most of the day.

Meeting of the minds 🧠

Kelly, Justin Abit Drag King and thesparklingscarlettrose are putting the final tassles and dashes of glitter on the Drag/Queen Bingo show for Saturday, July 27th at 7pm at the Landing Pub in Ladner.

Are you coming?!

🐾🇺🇸 BRINGING A DOG INTO THE US 🇺🇸🐾
update July 22, 2024

Canada granted partial exception: Health Minister Mark Holland who was pushing for a waiver for Canadians got a partial exemption meaning that dogs coming from Canada only need to fill out the CDC import form - which does still require rabies vaccination and microchip number but all the other requirements in the previous post have been waived for Canadians 👍🇨🇦

Does this change your summer plans?

18/07/2024

AUGUST 1st, 2024 USA dog import update 🇺🇸🐾

This is the most up-to-date information of the requirements to take your dog across the border starting August 1st 2024.

As Canada is a rabies free or low risk country, dogs coming from here have three options for entering the US. Every option requires a CDC import form and microchip information but has a couple of variable options for the additional forms.

Thankfully due to pressure from the health minister, Mark Holland, the requirement for CFIA veterinarians to sign off on the documentation has been removed and any licensed Canadian veterinarian can fill out these forms. He also hopes to have an exemption form for frequently crossing Canadians in the future.

How does this impact you?
Will you be going to the United States less because of these new rules?

17/07/2024

Having the privilege of being a dog parent comes with a lot of responsibilities and making sure you dog is licensed through your city is one of the most important.

Most are quick to get their dog microchipped, which is a semi permanent form of identification you get through your vet, but many are unaware or neglect to get their dog licensed.

You’re probably thinking, “But doesn’t a microchip serve the same purpose? What about a dog tag with my address and phone number on it?” While these are fair questions, it’s important to understand that neither a microchip nor an address tag is actually sole proof of ownership. They also don’t provide the same amount of information a pet license does.
Dealing with a lost pet is incredibly stressful. Having an official dog license will drastically improve your chances of getting them back — especially from your local shelter.

Licensing is absolute proof of pet ownership and is designed to assist animal control, shelters and other organizations to quickly identify your dog and ensure you get it back safely.

It should be noted that licensed dogs are usually kept at the shelter longer than unlicensed dogs. Once again, this is because a dog license is legitimate proof of ownership, which means shelters are obligated to do everything they can to get hold of you.

If your pup is unlicensed and brought to the shelter, it’ll likely be considered a stray, which means you run the risk of it being euthanized or adopted by someone else.

Getting a license for your dog is part of being a good pet owner. It’s also required by law, as it’s meant to ensure your dog is safe and healthy and that you’re a responsible pet owner 🐾

If you don't know, as of August 1st 2024 the CDC is going to have new requirements for bringing a dog into the United States even for a day trip.

This is the most recent information we have been given, which is a little bit more relaxed than we originally were told as you can see there is a lot of ORs and several of them do not require a microchip.

The current predicament that they put themselves in, is that any of the health certificates or totter tests etc must be completed by a USDA approved veterinarian, which is currently only in the United States. So how are you supposed to get one of these forms completed in order to cross the border, when you need to cross the border to get the form?

We plan on calling the CDC and getting more information and will update you guys as we know more.

JUSTICE WAS ON OUR SIDE TODAY!

Heat stroke comes on quick and can be lethal within 15 minutes.

It can happen in far cooler temperatures than you can imagine, and some breeds are more prone to overheating like brachycephalic or double coated arctic breeds.

Be hyper aware of ground temperature, remembering that different terrain absorb and hold heat from the sun contrastingly. Ex. while the ambient Air temperature may only be 26° the pavement temperature can be in excess of 55° - which can burn a dog's paws in minutes even when moving.

Of course your dog has to go outside to use the facilities or stretch their legs, just be wary about where you're walking, for how long and monitor your dog providing shade and water. Just remember, no dog ever died from skipping a walk but dogs have died from one walk in this heat.

If your dog starts to develop signs of heat stroke DO NOT USE COLD WATER and do not give them a large amounts of water. Go to your nearest vet IMMEDIATELY.

In this heat: Do not bring your dog with you on a quick errand if you plan on turning your vehicle off (unless you have a Tesla or a vehicle that has a dog mode). Do not bring your dog with you to sit on the patio. Do not bring your dog with you to your kids sports games. They are fine staying home.

When you go outside, think of what it would be like to wear a fur coat and fur pants and walk around barefoot and that is what your dog is usually experiencing in the same temperature that you might find "ok"

This is the time to err on caution for the sake of your dogs health and safety 🐾

How is this sweet girl still waiting for her furever home? 💕

Crisis averted!

Jimmy Dean, left, was adopted out by us over a year ago after he came in as a local owner surrender.
We got a call yesterday that his family had a crisis and they could not keep him any more.
The troops were rallied, the calls went out and it was so quick that one of our OG pack members stepped up to help at the final hour - literally he was dropped off at 11:00 p.m. thanks to a convoy transport from Kamloops to Abbotsford to Langley.
He has already been to the vet; blood test and urinalysis, bath and nail trim, antibiotics for his ear infection and snuggles all around.
He is now decompressing and falling in love with his Foster family, and the feeling seems to be mutual (even his foster brother Tank agrees!) 🐾

We are ALWAYS there for our pack members whether it be weeks, months or years later, which is why we keep in touch with everyone.

We will keep everyone updated to his progress!

Please consider donating to our legal fund so we can keep helping dogs thru this trying time for the rescue 🫶
