Meet Chandler and Milo




We have 2 new canine friends that I thought you should all meet. Their names are Chandler and Milo and they used to live at the Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue. But now they live with us.


Chandler, the golden retriever mix, had been living at the Saint John shelter for just over 6 months and no one wanted to adopt him! We don't really understand why...he's so sweet and so friendly, and he loves everyone that he meets. I guess the right family just hasn't come along yet. We think that he might have better luck here. He definitely deserves it. So if you know someone who might be looking for a handsome, loving new friend...Chandler is here waiting!


Milo is a 1 year old mixed breed dog. He had been living at the Saint John shelter for a couple of months too. People kept overlooking him because he has SO much energy! But he's only young...and he wants to play. You'd act silly too if you didn't get enough exercise and attention every day. So we are working hard to make sure that Milo gets walked every single day, and at least 10-15 minutes of playtime and running around so that he can burn off some of that fun energy that he has. He really wants to find a family that has time to play with him...maybe even people who like to do dog sports like agility or fly ball....he would LOVE that.


So come and meet our newest additions. And tell all your friends to visit too. Together we can find these boys just the right home!

Wanna win a Montreal Canadiens Jersey?


The Oromocto Veterinary Hospital is a HUGE supporter of our shelter and the animals who live here. And along with all of the medical support that they give us every day...they also do a fundraiser for us each year. And this year...they are selling tickets on a SIGNED Patrick Roy Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey.

Imagine...it's even signed by Patrick Roy! That's pretty cool. Even for a non-sport loving kitty cat like me.

So....tickets are limited. Only 500 are being sold. And the draw is on February 1st. SO you better hurry and get yours before time is up.

And don't forget...all of the money raised helps us orphans. And we need your help.

More Happy Updates!




Remember our bunnies? Grayson and Tanner? They had been living here for just over 8 months...sweet little fluffy guys. Well...they have FINALLY found a home to call their very own! And we are very very very very excited. It's so nice to know that they are now in a home where they will get lots of attention, and brushing and treats and love. They deserve it!


Remember Madison? She was one of my feline friends who had been living here for 1 year! Not as long as me...but she was second in line for the title. She has found her forever home too!


And remember Clayton? He was the 10 month old lab mix who had been living here for just over 5 months. He has found his new home too!!!!


So as you can tell...the weekend was amazing! Lots of smiles and hugs and good-byes. The best kinds of smiles and hugs and good-byes. :)

Million Penny Challenge-Update


I know it's been a few months since I've mentioned the million penny challenge. It might be because I've been so busy rolling pennies...or maybe just because I've been so busy watching everyone else roll pennies. Either way...I just wanted to let everyone know that we are almost at the $3,000 mark!! Wow...that's ALOT of pennies!!

So...we still have a little way to go to reach our goal. But I know that we can do it with your help. And just remember...every single penny goes into a special account that is marked for our "Yelp for Help fund". This fund helps us pay for special medical attention for cats like Polar, who needed his tail amputated. And for Benedict, our mastiff mix who needed a lump removed from his foot. Without your help...these special souls might not get the care they so desperately need.

So...remember...we can do this together. Every single day I see little miracles happening right here in this building...we can make this one happen too.
