Few items needed - laundry tubs wanted

NARC is in need of a few items such as rubber gloves, comet, paper towels and Husky Cleaning Products. We are also looking for 3 laundry tubs, preferably in stainless steel but as you all know, we aren't picky and will take your old plastic laundry tub as a wash bassin for our pooches! I donated 2 air exchangers to NARC and am now collecting Canadian Tire Money to be able to purchase another good quality air exchanger - send us your Canadian Tire Money and help us better the air quality for our volunteers and of course our pooches who live there 24 hours a day! We thank you in advance for all of your help and what you do for NARC, so many great people out there who believe in us and what we are trying to accomplish. It is because of you that NARC is where it is and growing daily!

We are looking for foster homes from January 28th to February 18th. If you know of anyone wanting to foster a dog for NARC, let us know. Pass the word around!

Great work this weekend!

Thanks to Coralie, who was actually in the Ottawa Citizen yesterday for her devotion to volunteering, she organized a cleaning and renovations crew to come to NARC on Saturday. It was amazing, 8 of her friends showed up, 2 were tearing apart the flooring, installing new plywood and tiles in one of our main doggy rooms, 2 were up on the roof tarping it for the winter, temporarily keeping NARC dry until we can afford a new roof hopefully next spring!? Few of the girls re-organized our supply trailer and others were just picking up and throwing debris in the bins while our volunteers took care of the dogs needs, food, water and walks... Next day, few of NARC volunteers came and helped finish what was already an amazing start, we organized another 2 sheds and threw out more debris and wood, put away the tables and chairs for the winter while Coralie returned with her husband to grout the tiles they installed the day before. What a weekend, the farm looks amazing, back to it's original cleanliness without debris from renovations lying around in piles... Thanks everyone for your help - it was wonderful to see and volunteers that came Sunday were amazed about all that had been done in just one day! Now we have more room for visitors to park and it's definitely better for our dogs with the new tiles in the back room. I am overjoyed about it all, it lifted a big weight off my shoulders knowing the dogs are living in a non mouldy room and freshly renovated and clean tiles. I don't even know how to thank everyone, all I could give back were hugs and thanks but you have certainly changed NARC for years to come!
