For The Love Of Animal Rescue

I’ve been quiet on here as of late.

Truth be told, I need a break from Facebook. For how long, I’m not sure.

So for that, please know that I won’t be posting on here for the next little while.

I am however much more active and enjoying Instagram more. So if you are not already, give us a follow over there at .

Thank you and stay safe and healthy! ❤️

It’s going to be a hot one here all week.

This should go without having to say it, but do NOT leave your pets in a vehicle.

“I’ll only be in for a minute” - You can absolutely never guarantee that, so do not risk it. I’ve never been in and out of anywhere in a minute.

“Oh but I leave the air conditioning on.” - And what happens if it shuts off? Becaie that can and does happen.

“Oh, but they love to come with me”. - That’s great, but they are better off at home. They are dogs, they forgive and forget quickly. Plus, they can’t come everywhere with you all the time.

Please leave your pets at home, indoors with plenty of fresh water.

It’s going to be a hot one here this week. Make sure sure to keep your pets safe if you decide to take them out for a walk.

It will be seriously hot this week so make sure to do your dog walking in the early morning or the evening.
If you cant here's some tips to help make your walk safe:
-Go for a short walk rather then a long one. You don't want your dog to get overheated.
-Test the sidewalk before you go, if it's too hot for your hand for 8 seconds its too hot for your dog to walk on.
-Bring lots of water for both you and the dog(s).
-Opt to go routes with lots of shade or more grass to walk on.
-Do doggy daycare instead of walks or safe play date with resident doggy bestie.
-Use cooling vests or bandanna.
-Go to dog park or a lake instead (just make sure to always stay 6ft away from people! good recall is a requirement to do this).

What tips do you have to keep your pup cool during hot days on walks?

No, I wasn’t digging in the dirt. - Freckles.

I took a much needed trip out to Elk Island National Park yesterday. The dogs loved it. So many new things to smell and p*e on. And for Freckles, so much grass and dirt to dog and eat.

Anytime a rescue posts a photo of a litter of puppies, they always get inundated with the same questions.

Are they pure bred? No, the puppies are always mixed breed.

What breed are they? Mixed breed. Seriously, we don’t know. Many of them likely have Shepard and or Husky in them. What else? We have no clue. That’s what they are called Alberta special.

How big will they get? Big. We can’t guarantee size.

Will they shed? Yes, all dogs shed. Seriously, stop asking that stupid question. 🤦‍♀️

Can I reserve one? Absolutely not. If you want one, you have to go through the process like everyone else by filling out an application. It never has been and never will be based on first come, first serve. It’s about best fit.

He’s pretty cute when he’s not busy being a jerk.
