Good Manners=Good Dogs

We've been running classes for several years now for dogs. We like to call them Manners Classes. It makes sense that if your dog has good manners, they're a better part of your community and your family. (Cats don't have this problem...we're always good mannered).

To date...we've helped hundreds and hundreds of families teach their dogs how to be good citizens. And now...we want to make it even easier...we want to make sure that all dogs have a chance to attend class. So we've come up with a plan...

From now on...all dogs adopted from the Oromocto and Area SPCA and the Fredericton SPCA will be eligible to take the classes for only $50! We want to make sure that these special dogs have every opportunity to become special members of their new family.

Sometimes, it's about being proactive instead of reactive.

Silly Boy Dog!

It was a beautiful warm day at the shelter today. So the dogs decided to have a little swim...well...Milo sort of hogged the pond! Now you see why cats don't like water!

Gunner and His Ears

This is Gunner. He's a shepherd mix who has been living with us for a couple of months now. He came to us with raging infections in both of his ears. His "people" obviously didn't take him to a veterinarian to get him help. So we did.

With the help of our Yelp for Help Fund, we were able to have both of Gunner's ears operated on. That was a month ago...and now...he's feeling much better. Well enough that he has started to play with the other dogs here at the shelter.

We are so happy that we were able to help him. Now we just have one thing left to do...and that's to find him a home with people who will love him as much as we do.

Sometimes, I find it truly amazing that animals like Gunner, loving, sweet, and forgiving, find themselves with no home too call their own. Even me.

I wish we could talk so that we could tell all of the people here at the shelter how much we appreciate them. I hope that they know.

To all shelters and their staff and volunteers...thank you! Even though we don't have words to say it...you are appreciated!

3 More Days...

There are whiskers up to the ceiling,

There are whiskers all over the floor,

So if you should get that feeling

To adopt a cat or more...

Please come to the shelter to visit,

There are kitties that wait for you there,

With dreams of a home and a person to love,

One who will show them they care.

A Great Day!

Every day is a good day when animals find a new home. But some days...are GREAT days! Days like today...when one of our long-time, senior residents finds a home.

Tracker, our senior german shepherd, was adopted today and is on his way to his new home in PEI. His new family understands that he needs a retirement home. That he has tons of love to give but just needed the right people to give it to. We think he found that.

Thank you to his new family who was willing to take a chance on an elderly dog. We hope that you love him as much as we do.
