United Way Campaign is here again

For all of you out there that give to the United Way or maybe you've never but were anticipating starting this year - please think of NARC. You can have payroll deductions, proceeds going to Navan Animal Rescue Corporation. All you have to do is fill out the forms, enter NARC's name with our Registered Charity number which is 84469 3788 RR0001, it's as simple as that! Thank you for your kindness and donations towards our very good cause! Every year, NARC takes doggies off death row, all the doggies we take in would be euthanized if we didn't exist but we need funds to keep this business alive and feel it is important to remain in business. Every day we see dogs we can not help due to the lack of funds, your donation would change that and enable NARC to grow! Please consider our plea to help these poor souls from a faith they have not earned or chosen!

$5.00 Nail Trim - Saturday, Sept 25th

Get your doggies nails trimmed for only $5.00, proceeds going to NARC to help with our pooches. Come one, come all, spread the word and join us next Saturday, September 25th at Man's Best Friend, 2756 Chamberland Street in Rockland anytime from 9am to 5pm.

New Donation Box - Outdoor Storage Container

I've bought one of those outdoor storage containers and installed it at the front of the property, just besides the front gates for those of you who want to drop off donations at any time! It's marked "NARC Donation Drop Off" and we check it a few times daily so feel free to leave your donations in them! We get a lot of calls from people wanting to come during the week so now you can! Although there may not be a volunteer on site as we work mostly evenings and weekends to serve our customers, we are always looking for new ways to service you as best we can and of course it helps out our doggies in the process. The container is quite large, would say 4 ft wide by 2ft deep and 3ft high so it will fit larger items. You can leave dog food, treats, doggy items (beds, blankets, toys...), crates, garage sale items for those wanting to get rid of some small household items, we do take them for our annual garage sales yearly - it certainly helps us in raising funds!

Thank you to those that have already left your blankets, towels, etc...in our new container, we're glad it's working out for you and not only have we received your items, they are great and will be much used! Also a big thanks to those that have left items at our Vet's for NARC before we had the container, we've picked them up and the doggies are enjoying their new blankets, beds and toys!

Sunday's KHS Walkathon

Although it was a rainy and windy day in Kingston, we were well dressed with good waterproof shoes and had a good day... We were lucky that Starbucks had an extra tent to lend NARC or we would have been very wet! Now this is something we need to invest in - a good tent for events!!! Overall, we really enjoyed our time there, it was a good day, we met tons of new people and saw a few of our doggies which was very nice. We were set up besides Kareen which is a client who took one of our puppy mill dogs named Lulu a few years back and also did some volunteer driving for NARC. Kareen has now set shop named Kingston Animal Rescue and we are very happy to have another rescue out there to call a friend - keep up the good work Kareen and we are here if you need us!

A quieter NARC

Wow, it's been quite the summer with 50-60 all the time... now down to 25! Most of the puppies have found wonderful homes, only 4 left for adoption. Page, my wonderful lovely Page has gone to her new home today, I really hope they love her as much as I did - she is such a wonderful dog and it was really hard to part with her! Maya and Sean also found their loving homes after a few months with us.

Chakra, Claude, Jasper and Daisy are still here, awaiting their loving homes. Although Jasper is quite shy with strangers, he is really a good dog so we are hoping someone opens up their homes to him! The others are just too great so no reason to be here and we are sure they will find loving homes quite soon!

Toby needs a special loving and quiet home, he is so shy with people although he is coming around with us - he is still afraid of new people. So skinny although we are really working hard on fattening him up - he is a good boy, certainly not his fault to be this way, just needs more loving to come out of his shell.

Someone gave Bonnie her "chance", she will hopefully come around with her new mommy as she did here with me. She is a wonderful dog so we are sure they will love her even if she showed she was quite afraid when they left with her. We are happy she was given a good chance with a wonderful new mommy to spoil her rotten.

Clyde is much better since Bonnie left, no longer following her around and is now coming around more every day since. He will surely find a loving home as he is quite the dog.

Anyways, better stop yapping - see some of you tomorrow in Kingston!

KHS Walkathon on Sunday

Hoping to see some of you there, we will be set up at a table with some items for sale and hopefully get a few donations or adoptive families for some of our pooches! NARC wasn't able to put together their own Walkathon this year since the property is a mess with the new house being built, but next year we will definitely organize one.

Update from the farm

Page, Sean and Maya are going to the vet's tonight so that they can get spayed/neutered tomorrow morning, shots, annual vet check, etc....

Page is certainly going to find a home shortly thereafter as she is just too sweet to be at a rescue. She loves to play with toys and ropes, she will keep herself busy for hours on end!

Sean and Maya are now 6 months old so time to get them altered, although they were available as puppies before, now they won't be available till at least Sunday as they need time to recover.

Bear is still the sweetest boy ever, not a peep from him - ever, he is just so quiet but has started to play with us which is quite nice.

Few doggies still aren't on our website, lack of time to take pictures but we hopefully will make time this weekend to post pictures and bios. Keep looking as we will have updates very soon!
