Dogtoberfest Festival


I hope that you already have this date marked on your calender....October 30, 2010! Cause that's the day that us and the Fredericton SPCA are joining forces to have a "haunting" good time together!

From noon to 4pm this Saturday at the Bucket Club..there is going to be a Dogtoberfest Festival with LOTS of fun things for the whole family to take part in.

There will be a haunted mini-golf, games, a bbq, pet pics, and the best thing ever...a pumpkin catapult!

I really wish I could go. But I have to stay behind at the shelter to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Without me....things just might fall apart. SO...I hope that all of you get a chance to go to the Bucket Club and have lots of fun! If you happen to get some pictures of the great time that you had...let me know...and I'll share them on here. Have a great Dogtober day!

MUTINY at the Shelter!!

The CATS and KITTENS at the Oromocto and Area SPCA have declared MUTINY! It's Adopt a Shelter Dog Month...BUT...the felines want in on the fun too....so they've banded together and decided to waive their own adoption fees and replace it with a by donation adoption fee! This will still include first vaccines, deworming, spay or neuter and microchipping.....there's no better deal than that! Help the cats and kittens at the shelter get revenge on the dogs...and come and adopt your new friend today

Busy Autumn Days!


As you all know...October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month. (Don't worry...I'm not jealous...June is Adopt a Shelter Cat month). And we've been doing lots of fun things here at the shelter this month.

We had the Rubber Duck Derby which helped raise over $1500 for the shelter. We're also having a coloring contest, a raffle for a HUGE dog bed filled with tons of stuff, an essay contest in the elementary schools, a Dogtoberfest festival at the Bucket Club at the end of the month...AND...we have special trick or treat boxes so that kids can help raise money for the orphans at both our shelter and the Fredericton SPCA. It makes me tired just thinking about it!!

You'd think that we would have our hands full with all of that stuff...but we also have a wonderful calender coming out VERY soon called Heroes for the Homeless. Every month is a different hero (firefighter, policeman, soldier, or paramedic) posing with a cat or dog. And they're all very cute! And I don''t just mean the animals!

We're also working on some special things for National Animal Shelter Appeciation Week which is November 7th to 13th.

AND to top it all off....our Pet Photos with Santa will be at Scott's Nursery on November 27th from 10am to 3pm and at Pawsative Rewards on December 4th from 10am to 3pm.

So much to do....so little time. Maybe...if you have some time to give to help out with any of these upcoming events...you could call us at the shelter. 446-4107 Just ask for Tracy...she's my assistant. I'm sure I can find you something to do to help us out!

Trick or Treat


Did you know that kids can help homeless animals in a BIG way this Halloween??

Trick or Treating is taking on a whole new meaning in the Oromocto and Fredericton areas this year when kids collect money for the Oromocto SPCA and the Fredericton SPCA while they're collecting candy.

Pick up your special Halloween box, decorate it to be as scary as you want, and then on October 31st, help orphan animals like me recieve medical care, good food, and a second chance to live long healthy, amazing lives!

Drop into one of the shelters to pick up your box....saving a life is easy and fun this Halloween!
