As you head into your weekend to hang out with your friends and family, please tell them about these companions still in need of a home. It’s just a matter of luck — whether good or bad — that has created their homelessness.

Buster and Patches took it into their own hands to save their own lives by breaking out of the barn; Bentley was discarded after a divorce; and Stary was left behind when his family moved out. You can read their stories by clicking on their names.

We can change their lives. We can help them start a new life in a new home. Please SHARE their stories.

Buster and Patches

Currently living in the Moose Jaw area
Since settling into their foster home, they have become more confident and independent. It seems they will do okay separated and so we are looking for a home that will adopt either one or both of them. They have been vetted, are current on their vaccinations and are neutered. They are ready to start a new life as Canadians!

Bentley

Currently living in Vancouver
UPDATE: Bentley has been adopted! Bentley is a very loving boy, but he still has some issues of insecurity and occasional outbursts towards other cats and dogs. He loves people. He needs a special home that will help him adjust. The by-product of a divorce, he was tossed out when the Mrs. left. We need to find foster and/or an adoptive home for beautiful Bentley.

Stary (formerly known as Stray Guy)

Currently living in Ottawa
Stary has been neutered and vetted. He is current on his vaccinations, however he has tested positive for Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). This is not a death sentence! His immune system is compromised so he has to be treated quickly if a secondary infection occurs. Here is a link to the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine’s webpage about FIV that explain FIV. So far, he has shown a love of everything and everybody. I think he is genuinely happy to be off the streets.

Imagine this. You are driving down a desolate stretch of North Dakota highway when you notice two dogs running down the side of the highway towards you. You pass them. When you look in your rear view mirror, you see that they have turned around and are running in your direction.

What do you do?

If you are a rescuer or an animal lover, your knee jerk reaction is to pull over and help them. And this is exactly what one of our members did. She stopped. There were no houses in sight and no cars on the road. The dogs were thin, matted, filthy and covered with sores and ticks. She and her friend put the dogs in the back of her car.

They stopped at the nearest farm house and, through a phone call, the dogs’ story came out. Buster and Patches belonged to Jerry.

To him, they were the world. He took them everywhere he went; his companions; his closest friends. But Jerry passed away the week before. His funeral service was that day, an hour from the time they were found.

Jerry’s family did not want Buster and Patches. They planned to destroy them. They had locked the dogs in the barn, but they escaped.

When they were found running down the highway that Thursday morning, they were already 25 miles away from home and still running. It’s as if they knew what fate awaited them if they stayed.

So with everyone’s okay, Buster and Patches went home with Robin to lower Saskatchewan.

It’s been three weeks now. Though they still show signs that they miss Jerry and their old life, they are adjusting. They have been groomed and de-ticked, and their sores are mostly healed. They are vaccinated and fixed.

And now they are searching for a loving family.

Buster (above) is a Brittany mix, about 4 yrs old. Patches (right) is a lab/collie mix, a bit older but not much. Their foster mom says they are well-behaved, good boys. (Click photos to see larger image. Or click here to see more photos.)
