Grayson and Tanner

I want you to meet some of our longest residents here at the shelter. Grayson and Tanner are male angora bunnies that have been living with us since May. That's 6 months!! And while they are quiet and don't make alot of fuss...we all think that it's time for them to find a forever home!

As you can see from their picture...they are pretty hairy little guys. They need a home where they will get brushed ALOT. They also need to eat fruits and veggies and hay every single day. (I've tried that stuff they call hay and I'm REALLY glad that I don't have to eat it!)

Tanner and Grayson are also really good buddies so they have to go to a home together. Apparently, rabbits get very sad, just like people, when they are seperated from their best friend.

So...maybe you should come in and meet them. They really just need a chance to show you how sweet they are. They are even good with cats and dogs!

Hope to see you soon. And if you bring a treat for little òl me..you might even get a cuddle from yours truly!

Did you know that all across North America, shelters are celebrating next week? It's National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week and we hope that you come in and celebrate with us!!

On Sunday (weather permitting), we will be having a free bbq to say thanks to everyone who volunteers, adopts and donates! Come by from noon to 3pm and get a bite to eat and visit with the staff and animals.

All next week we will be holding a Pet Photo contest. Drop your pet's cute pictures off at the shelter for a chance to win a cat or dog bed filled with goodies.

Visit Sobey's, Pawsative Rewards, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire and Giant Tiger (all in Oromocto) and donate something from our wish list. There will be special boxes set up in each location.

Visit the shelter for specials on microchipping and meet some of our Luv-a Life cats. There will even be a special art corner for kids to show us their talent.

Without animal shelters...there would be many hundreds of thousands of homeless animals. I would be one of them! Next week....let's all show out appreciation for the shelters in our areas. And for the hard work they do...saving lives one at a time.

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!
