New doggies have arrived and update!

Well, it's been a busy week as you probably saw from the updates on the website. From last we told you, we had taken 4 dogs from the pound. The little Westie died of parvo the first few hours we received him which was very sad... The 3 others seem to be doing well so far but were in quaranteen due to this! The Lhasa is at the vet's tonight for his neuter tomorrow with another 3 buddies we've picked up last weekend at an SPCA. All in all, we picked up 8 dogs last weekend to help out an SPCA who is over filled with doggies coming in as strays, etc... Most of the profiles are on our website except for the little Shih-Tzu from the pound late last week who seriously needs to gain tons of weight and also has a skin condition which is being treated with medication. Tonight, we had 4 arrivals from the pound again, this time we've put them in quaranteen right away in order to ensure they don't have Parvo such as the other last week. We've received a Beagle, a Cocker Spaniel, a german x pup whom we have to closely watch as he was vomitting on the way here from the pound and last but not least a maybe Maltese who really needs quite the groom so we can tell what breed it really is! Nope, that's not it as I am returning to the SPCA on Saturday morning to pick up another few doggies in need! Spring is in the air, people are loosing their pets but not going back to claim them or maybe they just don't know what the process is? When adopting a dog, ensure you know the SPCA, Humane Society or Pound near you. Many areas will have an SPCA or Humane Society but towns away from big cities will usually have pounds - call your city to find out where the pound is and keep the contact information close at hand - just in case! It's also always good to have your by-law officer's number at arms lenght as they usually are the ones picking up stray animals so if you call in time - you will find your sweetheart and bring him/her back home safely! Our work here at NARC is to help these dogs in need, your homework is to find those numbers and post them on your fridge - what are you waiting for?
