New doggies have arrived

Yep, a few more dogs have come in over the weekend, one definitely needs help ASAP, eye and ear infection - gosh he smells and is loosing his hair!

Any foster families out there looking to take a pregnant German Sheppard for us? She will need a quiet home, hopefully without other dogs so that she can give birth to her pups in peace. Let us know ASAP if you can take her and this has to be a commitment for at least 2 months - her pups need to be 8 weeks before they find a home or return to NARC! Mom will be with us a while longer while her milk dries, then her spay & recovery, etc...

The 3 pups we took in a few weeks ago are doing very well, no Parvo in sight thank god. They need another dewormer but otherwise looking for their forever homes. They are really adorable and will make somoene great medium to large sized pets.

Creative & Helpful People needed!

We have a few events and parades coming up and would need T-Shirts/Golf Shirts printed for NARC. Something simple, NARC on the back in big burgundy letters and on the front right breast Navan Animal Rescue Corporation, www.narc-charity.ca, 613-834-7005. If you know of anyone able to donate some T-Shirts or Golf Shirts please inform. We are capable of writing a receipt of a gift in kind to the company for next year’s tax for the lot but unfortunately don’t have the funds for anything other than spay/neutering our pets! Pass the word around and help us find someone with a big heart!

On another note, if anyone has time to fix the old tractor/lawnmower in the yard for NARC and spike it up by painting our Logo, etc... we could ride it in the parades we attend. We could find a little trailer to pull a few volunteers and doggies - that would be nice for our volunteers and may attract more people to "notice" NARC while in the parade! I’ve changed the sparks plugs on the lawnmower and put a new battery last summer but it still won’t start!!! Need someone with a bit more experience and time to get it going again! What do I know, I’m just a girl...lol

Drivers needed

If you have a vehicle, we always need drivers to pick up doggies from pounds, SPCA's & Humane Societies. Driving to Cornwall, Montreal (many areas in Montreal), Kingston and surrounding areas. We also need people to pick up donations from clients or companies in the Ottawa area... If you can help, let us know or come and meet with us. It's always last minute though, especially with pounds as we need to get them out before they are euthanized! We get the call and are looking for someone to go that same day to pick up the rescues. NARC will provide crates when needed although this means coming to our facility before heading out!

Dedication or love? That is the question...

We get many e-mails saying how dedicated we are for our doggies... Most people who get to really know what we do for our rescues find it overwhelmingly amazing. We just love them so much and really enjoy having them around. Treating them like our own and giving them a chance at receiving love, some probably for the first time in their lives; that gives me joy, pleasure and happiness. I have to admit though, that I do this for myself, the feeling it gives ME when they gain the pounds needed or go up their first flight of stairs, walk properly on the leash and of course when they find good loving homes. It’s definitely a mixed feeling of joy and sadness when they leave! You want to cry as you got attached to the little one but yet again you are so happy that someone out there is willing to do the same you did and is giving them a second chance. It’s an amazing feeling, something I know that I can’t live without! GIVING A BIT OF YOURSELF, very simple and if you do a little every day you will find that your days are more fun and fulfilled. Open the door for a stranger today, give them that big smile of yours and see how it changes your day! That simple gesture will certainly change their day and make them smile back. Try giving a bit of yourself and see what happens, if you are like me, you won’t want to stop!

New doggies need care

First a good bath is a must for the three puppies that were picked up on the side of the road and ended up on death row at a pound... Of course, we had to get them!! They are just adorable, only 6-7 weeks old, eating well, drinking well and going to the vet's tonight for their first shots. 5 of them were found but by the time we could find a volunteer to pick them up, only three remained or survived! Hopefully the three we did take are fine and this is not Parvo again!!! We will have their poop tested to ensure they are worm and parvo free.

4 other gorgeous babes came to us from the SPCA, really nice, cute and friendly. The chihuahua was very scared at first and shaking but by the end of the day he came for cuddles. Now, after not even a week - he jumps up to be picked up, loves cuddles and kisses and is enjoying his time with us at NARC. The 3 others blended in nicely and easily on the first day, the little Lhasa Apso girl is just adorable and will make someone very happy that's for sure. Pictures will be posted very soon, going to get a volunteer on that this weekend!

Few more doggies arriving this weekend - yep - back in business full throttle ahead and loving every minute of it!!! It will be even more pleasurable once my house is done and the dogs have the whole mobile home to enjoy - yeah baby!

Thank you volunteers and Fosters

Well, we are back, new doggies are arriving this weekend from the SPCA. I would like to thank all the volunteers and foster homes for caring for our furbabies, returning messages and e-mails while we were basking in the sun Ha! Ha! SUCH Wonderful people out there! I guess our doggies have won our foster's hearts, Phoebe may not be returning to NARC and will hopefully be staying with her foster family permanently. Trone and Omar are being kept another week - they have certainly stolen their foster's hearts! We are glad for our pooches, gives them more one on one with families, they are surely spoiled and we have found great fosters to care for them - it shows! This weekend, people are coming to meet with Trone and Omar and are hoping to hear from our foster homes to see how our babes interacted in their home, with their pets on top of at NARC - perfect references for our dogs - can't ask for better! Thanks again for your devoted love for NARC and our pets - it's certainly greatly appreciated! ;-)
