Puppy mill dogs

Well, we are working hard with the pugs and others we've taken in from the puppy mill - they are quite scared and won't walk on the leash but - baby steps!! At least now they are wagging their tails when they see me althouh the moment I come near - oops - not too sure lol. They are now enjoying lots of attention and are a bit less freaked and stiff when I pick them up. In time, they will make really good pets, they are all so adorable and you can tell they all want to please so much! Poor females really were used and abused, they have had quite a few litters and you can really tell. I can't wait for them to be ready for their spay and neuters and never see the life of puppies again - unless it's someone elses!!! I took a few with me to the vet's this week while dropping off or picking up others - not to be seen - just for the car ride but to get them used to riding along with humans just for fun! Baby steps but one by one, they will come around.

MORE doggies are here!

We picked up a very sweet older maltese at the SPCA. Our wonderful volunteer driver went to Montreal to pick up 2 female and 2 male pugs, 1 male poodle, 1 female bishon, 1 female Shih-Tzu x Daschund, 1 male maltese and a male Chocolate Labrador. Quite the busy week for NARC and will be quite the busy next few weeks for our vet! This bunch from Montreal are from a puppy mill so they will need some training, grooming, lots of vetting before re-homing. So far so good although will need training on the "no barking in the house" and "no marking their territory". Big job ahead but in time, they will be ready for loving homes! We will hopefully post pictures and bios this weekend for you to see. Our volunteers will have their hands full in bathing and grooming these guys to get them ready for the vet's (spay & neuters) next week!

The other group from last weekend are already trained to live with their chosen pacts, are really nice and friendly so we are quite sure they will be able to leave us the moment they are spayed or neutered! Very sweet little ones!

New doggies are here!

Our wonderful volunteer went to the pounds for us late last week and brought back a male and female Daschund, male Chihuahua x JRT, male Shih-Tzu and a female Bishon Frisé. We've Multi-advantaged and dewormed them and will see the vet next week for spays and neuters, etc... They are adorable although two needed training for whinning too much, the chihuahua x JRT is so cute but was barking all night to be with us so we've trained him out of that and finally was able to have a restful sleep last night - YIPEE! The little Bishon is also a big whiner but we are working with her - bishon's are a bit more hard headed so a few more days of work and she will be fine. Yes, a lof of dogs arrive with separation anxiety but no worries, you won't be able to tell once they are ready for placement...


We also helped an SPCA by taking in a male Yorkie that may need his hind leg amputated, a male black Cocker Spaniel with eye and ear infections, a female tiny little Pomeranian who will be with us for a while due to possible ringworn and hair loss and a Female Corgi x Chihuahua. All very adorable and very young - Yorkie is only 3 months old and the Cocker and corgie between 6-8 months - pups!! The only one that is an adult is the pomeranian and they are all big sucks and so friendly. Already dewormed and multi-advantage, DHPP and Bordetella for these 4 babes! We are also going to receive a few more pooches Monday evening from the pound and SPCA so keep looking for updates. Pictures and bios will follow shortly on our website of these adorable new pets of ours!

Funny dogs

It's summer and it's HOT but they seem to be enjoying their baby bath tubs and kids sand boxes full of water. Too funny to see them every night when it's hot, I rinse out the muddy yuk they left behind and replenish with very cold clean water and in they go!! Some just lay in the cold water with that look in their eyes saying "ahhhhhhhhh"! Of course, that makes them very dirty doggies but hey - if people don't get that they are having fun in their nice cold baths, then be it... Muddy and dirty dogs but happy and refreshed pooches! Now to train the big guys to get in the tubs - they don't seem to like it too much but they still get a hose down although I get it worst once they shove it all back on me!! Oh well, thank god for laundry machines lol. I've taken tons of pictures of wet dirty dogs just for the fun of it - I'll post them below for your enjoyment - sure my volunteers will hate me when they have to bathe all the dirty doggies this weekend with baked mud on their backs OOPS Hee! Hee! It wasn't me - it was the hose gone crazy - I swear!! I have to remember to bring the camera once I am filling the tubs just so you can see them lie down in it to refresh themselves - by the time watering and feeding is done - they are too so I see all the action but would like to share the beauty of it with you! Enjoy this heat guys as in a few months time - we will complain it's getting cold again - YUK - wish summer was forever!!

New doggies are here - great weekend!

What a beautiful and HOT weekend! I'm loving every minute of it but the doggies just kept in the shade today - they don't know what they are missing - I surely got a great tan going on Ha! Ha!

We have a few new arrivals, a gorgeous brindle female Dingo who our volunteer says is a LOT of FUN, a cute little male Brussels Griffon who loves being carried, a tiny little male maltese x who seems to be devocalized but very sweet and friendly, a friendly male black schnauzer x who is very quiet, another big sucky baby german sheppard x rottie? who's quiet and so nice, a male Jack Russel Terrier who loves to run outside, and a female Heinz 57 looks like boxer face but certainly small dog - dashund long body - really mixed but cute and so sweet! Most have gotten baths today and were great with the volunteers, all have been on few walks and were great with everyone they have met. They are in training to live with different pacts, few are already fitting in very nicely and sharing with the others already! They will be vetted this week and next week as there is quite a few here still awaiting to see the vet and then ready for adoption once trained! We'll post bios and pictures very soon - keep a lookout for their cute faces!
