We are at Bark & Fitz this weekend

Come meet us at Bark & Fitz, we were just invited to set up a kiosk and bring dogs!  Will be sending volunteers between 10-5pm on Sunday and 9am to 6pm on Saturday, trying to get volunteers to attend tomorrow between 9am - 8pm.

Inka has had her puppies

Our beautiful little Inka has been through her rough times and has had 5 puppies.  It was tough for her, she gave birth to her first puppy at around 5pm on Tuesday and the last one came mid day Wednesday - poor thing!  Last night, she was exhausted and wouldn't even come with me for a quick walk.  I had to bring the food and water bowl to her in order for her to eat and drink but it's understandable - she must be quite exhausted!  When we got Inka on Saturday afternoon, she was completely matted so we started giving her a good shave so she would be comfortable once giving birth - we knew the pups were coming within a few days time.  We didn't want to stress her too much being a new environment AGAIN, but didn't want to leave her like that...  She still needs a better groom but the worst is done, enough to make her comfortable while giving birth to her little ones.  In approx another week, once she has gained her strength and her pups are bigger, we will give her a nice bath and finish her groom.  For now, she is resting in the quietness of a foster home with her new babes!

Information at the farm

Thank you to everyone who came to Boston Pizza last night in support to our cause - it is greatly appreciated.  I was there having diner with my daughter, friend and volunteer and saw quite a few invoices in our box, can't wait to see how much we have raised!

We have a pregnant female Shih-Tzu due any day now, we've named her Inka and she is resting in my home for the duration of her term and till the puppies are big enough!

Baby is doing very well with her 6 puppies, they are now a little over a week and all too cute!  She too is in a foster home untill her pups are big enough...  We are taking in applications for the puppies if you are interested, there are 4 females and 2 males.  NO, we don't know who the father is and NO, we don't know what breed he is either - she was found as a stray so YES they are surely mixed breed puppies but then again so is baby and others at NARC!  Fill the adoption questionnaire from our website http://www.narc-charity.ca/ under downloads and e-mail it in stipulating you want one of baby's puppies!  At 8 weeks old, we will meet everyone on the same day, at the same time and all 6 pups will be homed that day!

Wow- What a Clean-up!

A Huge Thank you to everyone who came today from Keller Williams Ottawa Realty to help with our yearly clean-up and major project in turning one of our trailers into a NARC store and of course for giving some loving to our pooches. Wow, what an amazing group, 30 brokers showed up ready to work and take on the challenging duties. Thank you from all of us at NARC for taking on this project and helping at the farm, it is greatly appreciated!

Pictures are already posted on our new website, WHAT?  Yep, new NARC website coming up shortly!

Boston Pizza Orleans is on Monday

Don't forget to come join us for diner on Monday, May 14th between 5-9pm and also put your invoice in the drop off box at the reception desk so NARC can get the 10% donation from Boston Pizza!

Baby has had her puppies

She gave birth to 6 beautiful puppies last night, starting around 11pm and finishing this morning at 5:30pm.  I'm sure she kept my foster mom up and worried all night but surely it was worth every minute!  We will be posting Baby on the website soon, she came in approx 3 weeks ago, already pregnant so we are now keeping her until her pups reach 8 weeks of age.  They will be homed at 8 weeks and she will be spayed, etc.. then homed.  Baby is a terrier, very petite little girl and so adorable.  Not sure what her babes are mixed of, will be hopefully able to tell in a few weeks.  Congrats Baby on your new little family!
