SNAP-A Burlesque Review

Hey...did you know that a whole bunch of animal groups are getting together to put on a really neat Burleque show? It's true...on May 7th..at the Ecole Sainte-Anne Theater in Fredericton. There are 2 shows...one in the afternoon and one at night so everyone can attend! And tickets are only $22.50 if you buy them beforehand.

And here's the best part...all of the proceeds are going to help a whole bunch of special animals. Animals right here at the Oromocto and Area SPCA (like me)...animals at the Fredericton SPCA who are homeless too. The Kindness Club...they teach kids how to be kind and how to treat animals properly so that they never end up homeless or abused. Ca-R-Ma..they're a group who helps feral cats by making sure they can't have more babies and making sure that they are healthy and warm and have full tummies. Chickadee Cat Club who is a group of people who like cats ALOT...and the Ferret Lovers Society of Atlantic Canada..they help ferrets who can't stay in their homes anymore by finding them new loving families.

So....as you can see...alot of deserving animals are going to be helped just by you going out and enjoying yourself by seeing a GREAT show!

So drop into the shelter and get your ticket!!! It's for a good cause!

Lyme Disease IS in New Brunswick.

This week we recieved a dog from the NBSPCA who had been found in pretty bad shape a few weeks ago. After a trip to the local veterinarian and some blood work, it was discovered that Huey has Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is caused by ticks who carry it and it can be debilitating with no treatment.

Huey is on medication and is doing VERY well! His message is clear...PLEASE talk to your vet about flea and tick medication! Do NOT buy over the counter products.

Spring is just around the corner...please help protect your companion!

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.
