Few notes

First off, I'd like to thank some of our precious (little) clients for their GREAT donations lately, we've had many Oil of Oregano bottles donated and that is amazing, not counting everything else they brought... Have to say, these came from two young little ladies who asked for their x-mas gifts as donations for NARC... Now that is something! Girls, you made a big difference and it's people like you who make us stronger and helps us to keep NARC alive. Another little girl decided to give up some of her toys for our doggies too. Thank you!


I have to say, I am always amazed at our young generation out there and it's people like them that will hopefully run NARC one day and keep it going! In hopes, for a better future for everyone...


Rousse the Cocker Spaniel is still with us, she is just the sweetest thing here and even though she gets excited around cats, we are sure someone will fall in love with her as her personality is just perfect. She loves cuddles and of course wants to be a lap dog Ha! Ha!

Same with Harley, although he is a big boy, he is really the smartest dog here! He is great with everyone including kids and other dogs and even perfect with our cat... He listens very well and although he is a big lug and loves to play, he will make someone very happy!

Our new Shih-Tzu, which we've just named Benjamin came in with a matted chin and belly and long hair, we gave him the much deserved trim and he is so cute! He will be neutered and checked next week by one of our vet's then up for adoption. He's already been dewormed and had his multi-advantage and is now living happily with his play mates. I will take time to post pictures very soon on our website. He is still a bit shy with strangers but certainly coming around quickly, he does this funny little spin dance when I pull out the leash or even go near the door, he certainly loves his walks!

Overall, the household is keeping us busy and active, it's always great to have all this life and joy around! We've placed a few in foster homes and hopefully a few more will either find permanent homes or foster homes before I head out for a week's holiday - sunny beach here I come!!!

Fosters needed from Jan 27 to Feb 9th

We will need a few foster homes for that week while I am on holidays, our volunteers will be coming daily to play and feed the dogs but I always prefer for them to live with someone as they are accustomed to now. So, if you want to foster for us for that week (or longer), either e-mail information@narc-charity.ca or call us at 613-834-7005. We will provide you with everything you need in order to properly care for our pooch such as food, bowls, bed, crate if wanted, etc... And if all goes well and you want to foster again, we probably will need foster homes again in April for 1-2 weeks.

Update from the farm!

Well, we took a nice holiday between x-mas and new years, the doggies were spoiled with treats, x-mas cookies and chicken chew sticks every single day and had tons of loving... I am sure they are sad we are all back to our regular work schedules!

The new puppies that arrived during the holidays are doing well, they are still a bit skinny but are gaining daily now that they have been dewormed - wow that was gross! I went to the vet's this week with them for their check-up and DHPP and we will give them the much needed bath this weekend so they are all clean and fresh for their new homes.

We are re-opening this weekend and have many families coming to meet with our pooches and volunteers coming back to their regular schedule so it will be a busy weekend for sure. There are a few projects still on the go and a few new projects starting this weekend which will certainly benefit NARC and give us more space!

All in all, it is so far a start of a good new year, let's hope that NARC survives yet another year!
