Things we need!

All the blabbing about the dogs and I forgot to mention we are in desperate need of Mr.Clean or cleaning products, Javex, Vinegar, etc... Anything with a very strong smell (citrus or orange is our favorite as it reduces the doggy smells in the house). Renew air-fabric super odour neutralizer spray is fantastic for the dog beds and we are also out, we just love that one and it is quite inexpensive compared to others.

We are also running out of leashes and nylon collars for small to medium dogs and of course collars for puppies - extra small!

We also need more Tea Tree Oil and Oil of Oregano. We also use the Tea Tree Oil for cleaning as it disinfects almost to 100% and is what we need to completely disinfect cages/crates, bedding (we put drops in the washing machine), etc...

If you have any of those items, drop them off anytime - if we aren't here you can leave them behind the cement wall at the front besides the gates.

If anyone has an outside large tote or storage bin, we surely could use it to place at the front of the property as a donation drop off box. This way the rain won't get to our items before we get back from either picking up pooches or vet appointments!!!

Puppies are ready!

The pups did great at the vet's and are all very healthy, now with their first DHPP booster and dewormed every 2 weeks; they are ready for their loving homes. The 3 chocolate brown pups have found their way into loving homes this weekend but 7 are left! Call us to meet with them, we have a feeling that they will go fast! They are way too cute...

Miley is recovering from having fed her 10 babies, she will dry up and then be spayed to be able to find her own loving home. She is still the sweetest dog!

Bonnie & Clyde are gone to a foster family so that they have more one on one time since we were so busy here with all the others!! They are doing well and should be less afraid soon now that they have tons of affection.

Page's pups will be ready soon for adoption too! Quite the puppy heaven here that's for sure!

Chakra, Chikita and Belvedere are just the sweetest and friendliest ever - they are great dogs. Have a look at our website as we already posted pictures of the beauties! They will be spayed/neutered this week and then up for adoption once recovered. We do have a foster family for Chikita and another for Jasper as he is so shy with people that he needs more family time to gain people's trust.

Yep, NARC is moving ahead with foster families, we've never really did that before unless we were on holidays but it's time to grow and with all the dogs in need, we are here to take them in and hopefully find good fosters or permanent homes. We have over 50 dogs in our care for the last few weeks now, that's a whole lot of doggies!

Navan Fence is helping and donating their time and new dog runs. We are preparing for when we move out of the mobile home so that we are up and ready to accept over 100 dogs in care this fall. That is just amazing!!!

I guess that's it for now, let us know if you wish to hear from one of our pooches that we haven't mentionned here today!

How many more doggies can fit in that Window?

Yep, you've guessed it.... It just keeps getting busier by the minute. Again a call out for foster homes, if you have a friend, family member, neighbour or anyone looking to foster one of our small or large pooches, let us know. We picked up another 2 at the pound last night, golden lab's x, are picking up another few tonight (won't tell you how many as some volunteers may just kill me!) and another few coming in tomorrow morning! Just a few here and there - no biggie Ha! Ha!

Those from tonight are going to be in quaranteen, same as the 2 we picked up last night due to "parvo" in hopes that they are all fine after their shots and quaranteen!

The ones arriving tomorrow will have been seen by a vet so we can introduce them to the pact which makes it quite simple! 2 young Chihuahuas, can't wait to meet them as we surely enjoy our Chihuahuas! If only people understood the breed and not say "my neighbour had one and it was very yappy or nippy!" They are soooo not that once well trained and are just so well behaved and lovable! Think what you will - we surely don't mind a full house of Chihuahua's, have 3 already and another few arriving and certainly would take on more! They are the easiest to train and love, small which make them take no space at all and way too cute for words!

OK enough blah blah, have to run to pick up those new doggies! Talk soon.

Yip-Yap update

Miley's pups are eating and drinking, they are so adorable, soon going for their shots then up for adoption in a few weeks! Gosh it goes by so fast!

5 doggies are sleeping at the vet's tonight, getting their spay or neuter, shots, check-ups, etc... tomorrow and then back home here to NARC for their recovery.

I splurged on a new stand-alone AC, they are expensive but we certainly needed it. I've also covered the huge bay window to keep the house cool as the sun coming wasn't helping in keeping the house cold enough. Now it looks funny not to be able to see the horses running around outside from the bay window but the dogs will definitely enjoy the cooler air!

If anyone has thick/dark drapes to give, now is the time as that cardboard paper I've taped to those big windows look horrible Ha! Ha! Ha! But it does the trick until we have drapes!

Page's pups are also doing very well, they are getting bigger and stronger, crawling everywhere in their own trailer home - too cute!

We just took in a Cocka-Poo also, she is very sweet and will be ready soon for her loving home that has a fenced in area as she supposedly is a runner - if she gets loose that is - none of that here!!!

That little white JRT female that came in on Sunday, is just a people people little doggy, she wants to be with us sooooo much that she actually climbed out of the 6 foot fence to rush to the barn to be with us. Now, she has to be crated while we are gone as I don't want this to happen when we are not home! Although, she is very good off leash and will just follow you everywhere, I am just worried she would go looking for a human friend elsewhere if no one is here! She will make someone who wants a lap dog very very happy as this is certainly what she wants to be! Perfect dog to take at the cottage as she just will never leave your side, great off leash and will follow her loved ones everywhere!

Update at the farm

It certainly is a hot week, the AC we have doesn't fit in the window so we will have to see if we can't purchase one as the doggies are really warm. We are filling the water buckets with fresh and cold water quite a few times daily, they surely are quiet with this heat and only want to lounge around Ha! Ha!

Miley's puppies have started drinking on their own a bit which is a good sign, they haven't started to eat but we are enticing them daily.

Wednesday we received a tiny Shih-Tzu, he is cute and will be neutered this week, he does have a skin infection and is on antibiotics so we will keep him until his skin clears up.

Thursday we picked-up 3 more puppies from the pound, just adorable golden labs x greyhound, we rushed them to the vet's on Friday for their DHPP, rabies, dewormer and annual vet check. They seem to be enjoying the farm and are healthy! We will post pictures as they are ready for adoption this weekend, 1 female and 2 males - 5 months old.

We picked up a JRT, Poodle, Bishon & Japanese Chin on Sunday, they are very cute although the poodle and Bishon are very shy, they will come around with time. Now to book them for their veterinary check up and shots, spay/neuters, etc...

Busy busy, it's nice to see the house full of little yip-yaps enjoying their stay, some are new to having the freedom they deserve and seem to be really liking it. Well, back to work today after 5 days home with the pooches, it's a very sad day and I wish I was home again with my little ones but only 4 days till the weekend again!!! One day soon - I will be working from home full time for NARC... can't wait!
