4 new doggies have arrived!

Our wonderful volunteer picked up another 4 dogs at the pounds yesterday and brought them home to NARC. We have a very quiet male Schnauzer, very small and quite the looker... he certainly belonged to someone as he is freshly shaved with the Schnauzer cut, why did they give him up or did they just loose him and didn't come to reclaim him? God knows! A male Daschund who seems very sweet, probably very young as he was very excited to get to us. A male Jack Russel Terrier, very friendly and definitely excited to arrive after certainly a very long time in crates in a car. And last but not least - a "mouton /sheep" - yep, looks like a sheep but surely there will be a dog under all that matted hair. Bishon frisé or poodle mixed Maltese? We will be able to tell you once it's matted hair is removed which breed! It is very hard to tell when we see that big fat chunck of hair walking around... We will make it shed over 4-5 pounds of hair tonight! Obviously this dog was not in a regular household, was afraid of walking on the leash and although afraid of us, still let us pat and pick him up which is a good sign. Probably coming from a puppy mill or horder!

Update at the farm

The doggies are doing well, those that needed immediate medical attention were seen and are now being taken care of. Few had imbedded collars or large gashes on their bodies, they will be here a while while they heal before being able to get spayed or neutered. We're certainly keeping our vet's busy and myself, running around to vet appointments daily! We've been running out of water on and off for over a month now, lines are freezing and driving us crazy but next week will be warmer so we're not going to have that problem any longer - I hope!!! Yesterday, after adding a new heat trace on the line, we had water for a few hours BUT it still managed to freeze on us last night, with the heat trace on and during a load of laundry - imagine that...plumbers say if the water is always flowing it won't freeze - news flash - NOT TRUE! Today, too cold for water so we've been borrowing from neighbors again! Natalie Shumovsky Photography came today to take pictures of the new arrivals, check out our website at the end of the week, the moment she sends me those pictures, I'll upload their beautiful faces!

New doggies are here!

7 new arrivals, all very sweet and well mannered... 2 Beagles, one female and one male, extremely friendly and the boy is very quiet. A Pikengese who has a problem with his right eye, not enough to take it out but we don't think he will be capable of using it much. Needs drops a few times daily and hopefully it will help! 1 female Bishon Frise, very sweet and friendly who wants to be with us all the time. A grey/silver Miniature Pincher, he's quite the character and just loves to play with the other dogs, he was said to be very shy with people at the SPCA but so far he's really enjoying my company and wants to be my lap dog while I'm trying to type here Ha! Ha! We will see how he reacts to all our volunteers! A very sweet pomeranian x, she is just too adorable and will make someone very happy - she is so cute too - wait till you see her little face! A male Spitz, very sweet and friendly, loves to play and getting along well with all the other dogs, I'm sure they will all be exhausted after running in and out playing all evening!

Well, we'll keep you posted, I've added a bit of information on our website and pictures will come shortly of these amazing little dogs we've taken in recently! Just too adorable, all of them! We are sure they will find homes the moment they are ready, too nice to pass up and way too friendly to be at rescue!

More babies arriving tomorrow!

We are picking up another group of dogs in need of homes tomorrow, keep your eyes on our website for updates, pitures and bios. From what I hear, there will be a few beagles, a poodle, miniature pincher, chihuahua and husky puppy - all very cute from the pictures I've seen!

Few are older dogs in need of their last forever home... No matter, they will all be spoiled rotten until they find their forever homes... Loved and kissed by our many volunteers and they'll have many play buddies with all the other doggies we have waiting to accept them into our loving rescue!

If you are interested in any of the new dogs that have come in or are coming in, e-mail us as we've already tentatively placed a few that aren't up for adoption yet but will be leaving us the moment they are!!!

We are now temporarily opened Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 3:30pm, you may drop in and see all of our babies! Although, we do have booked appointments so if we have a set appointment for the dog you are looking at, we won't be able to release it until the family booked in meets with them!

P.S. Bring your rubber boots, the property is a muddy mess Ha! Ha! Until we are sure there will be no more snow and whatever is left dissapears, we can't have loads of rocks dropped off - it will be quite muddy for the next month or so... spring is here!

11 new doggies have arrived

We've taken all the small dogs out of 2 pounds today and have 11 new arrivals that will be ready once vetted, dewormed, spayed or neutered, trained, etc... A 2 year old Yorkie female, a Sharpei puppy, a black lab female puppy born December 26th, a 6 year old female pomeranian, a 3 year old Bishon Frise named Smartie, an appricot female poodle, a female small Shih-Tzu who is named La Poune and approx 6 years old, a black pomeranian, a female Chihuahua x Pug and 2 male Shih-Tzu's.

Most have already settled in and are getting along well with the other dogs and a few are just snuggle bugs and certainly want all the attention they are getting! The little white Bishon, the little Yorkie are still shy but they will come around in a few days.

Volunteers: quite the weekend ahead of us, bathing, grooming, deworming, administering multi-advantage for all the new comers and updating the in-house system on top of taking pictures for our website... Should be lots of fun especially since we are getting another load of doggies probably this weekend!!!

We also have a stray Cocker Spaniel that arrived, if no one claims her by Sunday, she will become a NARC pet and will be vetted and then looking for her forever home. If you have lost your Cocker Spaniel, call or e-mail us with details as we may have her with us right now! Proof of ownership will be required with pictures in order for us to release her to her family - if any!

Few new dogs arriving or already here!

I know it's been a while since I've blogged and kept you guys in touch with what is going on here at NARC. We've had a few accidents which de-motivated me a bit but things are slowly looking up. We've had to rip the main entrance floor due to water damage, with the snow melting and rain we've had a few leaks in the roof and shortly thereafter we had NO running water for a whole week. Finally, after a full day in the rain with the electrician and 4 days with the plumbers working at it, they've finally got us hooked up yesterday so we were able to clean up and are back in business for this weekend. What is up with all this bad luck!? We'll have to change that to good luck very very soon! Any roofers out there who can lend a hand? A temporary fix until we get money or a new roof donated!!

We have a new arrival and a few others arriving this weekend, we will be posting bios and pictures on our website shortly!

Sorry to all the volunteers for sending you all back home last weekend but there wasn't much to do without running water - we'll have plenty to do this weekend that's for sure! After this ordeal and rain this week, all the doggies need a good bath so we certainly will have our hands full!
