Foster Homes needed April 1st till the 18th

Would you like to foster a pooch for us for a few weeks? We need a few foster homes from April 1st till April 18th. We will provide you with everything you need, food, bed, toys, treats, etc... Give us a call or e-mail us if you wish to take one of NARC's doggies into your care for a few weeks. Very nice dogs, house trained, etc... Thanks for your support!

Oh so cute! But Mommy's tired...

Well well... Our 3 very small cocker spaniels and tiny Maltese male have been picked up and are now settling in nicely with the other doggies. Of course the little black female cocker had to give me some trouble and woo hooed all night so I'm quite exhausted this morning - on top of the hour change - JEESH! That's the not so fun part of NARC, being woken up by new doggies wondering where they are, what's going on and what's going to happen to me now! The others were very quiet, considering! They are all so happy to have human interaction, were running wild in the snow last night and it was way too funny to see them get muddy, dirty and rubbing themselves on what is probably the first time they see - SNOW! So now they all need good baths although the snow helped with the puppy mill stench lol! We also have a very small Pomeranian that joined our group, she is quite nice, friendly and is going to make someone a beautiful little princess! Anyone free one evening for doggy baths??? If so, call me or come over after work as we need to get them all clean and ready for their spay/neuter this Thursday - we drop them off Wednesday night so it needs to be done tonight or tomorrow!

New doggies arriving

We are getting new pooches in this weekend, cocker spaniels, etc... Have a look at our website this week to see their pictures and read their bio! They are puppy mill dogs so will need a bit of time with us to house train, spay/neuter but if all goes well, they should be available in a few weeks to a month's time. Can't wait to work with them and provide them with the love and care they need!

Have you lost your dogs tonight?

Neighbours called us to say there were two white Lhasa Apso's or Shih-Tzu's running loose on Navan Road... One took off on Canary Street. The one with the black collar did get hit by a car and unfortunately didn't make it. We have called the By-Law Officers/Humane Society to pick him up and they will certainly be looking for the other pooch missing in action. We have looked everywhere for the second doggy, hopefully he went back home!? They caused much comotion on Navan Road - cars stopped, honking, neighbours running out to see if they could catch them! Of course, this all happened almost in front of the rescue so everyone thought it was a few of our pooches but they are all inside cozy and sleeping! So sorry for your loss, hoping you find your other little guy/gal safely!

Doggy Update

Well, our skinny Louis is up to eating 4 ceasar's every few hours, he is doing very well and is now eating like a pig - that will certainly make him gain what he needs... From a boy that we had to spoon feed and who barely ate 1 ceasar every hour (by force) a week ago to now gobbling down 4 ceasar's - and kibbles and treats - that's pretty amazing! His stomach is now getting bigger (normal) and capable of holding onto his foods so he will be perfectly fine! For those who have met Louis, you know what I mean as I've had you feel all his bones - well come see him now, although he is still all bones, he has a tummy Ha! Ha!

Our little princess Lola is also still on her ceasar's, she hasn't started eating kibbles yet so she may stay on soft foods forever! It must be hard to try kibbles when you only have 4 teeth left! She now also comes for attention, will jump on our lap for snuggling but is still shy with kisses - she will give us kisses but when she hears our lips smacking - it still scares her! Poor little girl, what have you been through before coming here!? Still can't put your hand on top of her head as she will take a step back but in time - this will dissipate.

Kassy, one of our little Golden Doodles found her home tonight, we are proud as they are volunteers for other rescues and will make exceptional parents. Mylena is sleeping at my feet, having just had her few ceasar's before bedtime she is sound asleep with her belly full - probably a first as she was on "yesterday's news" in her previous home!!! Gosh, what were they thinking!

Well, hope you like the updates - as per some of your requests to see what is going on here at NARC - let us know how you feel, what you want to hear, or see - we like to hear from you!

Our Pooches - update

Kassy and Mylena, our golden doodle little girls are doing very well, their appetite has increased and they are eating and drinking well. They are less stressed with people, thanks to our wonderful volunteers who played with them all weekend. They will certainly make the most wonderful yet quiet little house companions.

Louis is still very skinny although he is eating his 2 ceasar's every hour or so and having his kibbles for diner! He will certainly be with us a long time, needs to gain at least 10 pounds before we have him neutered. He is so sweet, quiet and just a cuddle bug now that he is being manipulated daily - he comes for attention. He is great with the cats, other dogs, kids and everyone he has met - will be the perfect companion if you ask me!

Lola has also changed drastically, she now jumps up for attention and wants to be picked up - compared to almost trying to climb walls to get away from us just a short week ago! She must be feeling 100% better now that those stinky and rotten teeth have all been removed, although she is still on antibiotics to ensure no infection.

Millie, well you can't even tell she was spayed and had her hernia removed, she is her sweet self, always looking for some loving and attention!

As for Pebbles our sweet tiny angel, she didn't make it, she has crossed the rainbow bridge and has left our world. Rest in Peace my little princess, we are sad to see you go and sorry that everything we tried didn't make you better!
