Navan Animal Rescue Corporation (NARC)

We picked up a very sweet and cute border collie?  she is quite small and possibly around 6 months of age.  Will have her vetted then ready for adoption.  She is shy with strangers right now but will come around in time.

We get many calls daily from pounds to see if we can help with certain dogs, this week – the story of the puppy that was beat up to almost death… bloody and barely breathing… just pulled my heart strings.  Why do that to a 2 month old baby!?  We are looking into getting him to NARC, he had x-rays done yesterday to see if his upper jaw was broken, if so – then he won’t be able to survive and will have to be put down…  If not, we will try hard to get him to us!  But first, let’s get him vetted and better before transport!  Donations always needed to help rescues such as ourselves deal with situations like these on a daily basis – please help today!

As many of you know, when we pick up dogs at pounds or other shelters – they are not in the best of conditions.  We often have stitching to do, hernias to remove, spays/neuters, rabies & DA2PP, dental cleaning and extractions… but most of all when they come in emaciated – what we really need is something as simple as Puppy Food to help them gain so they can undergo their surgeries.  Right now we have Goddy that came in way under nourished and although he is on 4-6 feedings daily, we often have to get new bags of puppy food to keep him and others fattening up.  Faith was one that came in like a rack of bones, although she has gained, she is still on puppy food so that her back bones stop showing.  Please donate today, a bag of puppy food or Pedigree Vitality +.  We have canned goods that were dropped of which will definitely help them but mixing it with puppy food is even better.  Here is a picture of our poor little Goddy – who is slowly now gaining but needs so many more pounds on him!

Ricky, Foxy and Molly have adapted very well to their new home, they are very sweet and lovable – they certainly got used to the baby bed very quickly Ha! Ha!  Foxy and Molly prefer I go outside with them from the back door, they actually wait inside until I step out before then following me which is cute!  And then we have Scooby, I really love this dog – can’t get enough puppy loving from him.  His paw is getting better, he did sprain it on Thrusday just before his vet appointment so of course on Friday it was all swollen but it was better by Saturday.  He is now able to put some pressure on it and run around the house.  He is a very good dog, someone will be very lucky to have him!

We still need dog food, preferably the small kibbled Beneful which is what the Chihuahuas are on now mixed with canned goods.  We are opened sat and sun between 1pm and 3pm – come meet our lovely dogs as they certainly won’t last long!

Brought Scooby and Alis at the vet’s last night for their neuter/spay and Scooby for his DA2PP and Rabies.  The surgeries are done already this morning and they are recovering for the day at the vet’s.  Will pick them up later tonight and bring them home.  Some of you may remember our little Alis from when she was placed as a puppy at NARC, she came back for her spay and is definitely not little any longer Ha! Ha!

We also have our three little dogs arriving by airplane tonight at 7:30pm.  Molly – you may have seen her rescue video on facebook, Ricky and Foxy the chihuahuas.  They have been living in NARC foster homes in BC the last week awaiting their flight to Ottawa and have done extremely well.  Fosters said they were clean in the home, sweet personalities and great on walks.  These three are available now for adoption so feel free to come and meet them this weekend, we are opened from 1pm to 3pm.  Spay/Neuter, rabies have all been done during their travel to NARC.  They have travelled a long way in the last few weeks from LA to BC with road transports, now BC to Ottawa by air.  They are actually being brought to the airport now – 11:30am and on their way to the Vancouver Airport!  Quite the challenge but it was fun to get everything organized in getting them home.

Thanks Caroline for all your hard work in organizing and going to pick them up in the US; Monika for driving a great distance to pick up Molly and bring her to the kennel; Dora for picking up Ricky and Foxy from the pound and driving them to the kennel and of course Tamara for organizing the transport for all three to finally get them close so we could cross to Canada!  All in all, we made a great team, few issues on the way but we worked it all out.  Now it’s time for Mommy Michelle to step in and do some puppy loving while they get adopted lol.

We are in need of Beneful dog food, beef or chicken for our little dogs and some puppy chow for the puppies in the house!  We could also use some Pedigree Vitality + for the larger dog – only Verona left in the larger breeds – for now!!!  Thank you in advance for your donations and support to NARC over the years.

Faith & Hope are coming around, they are loose with Tila & Casey and learning from them to come greet people at the door.  They were quite timid but now follow me everywhere, even come to volunteers and strangers.  They certainly love the kids bed we have in there and are spending their day basking in the sun coming in from the windows!  Verona our Black German Sheppard is also learning not to bark in the house, she is very sweet and affectionate.  Right now she needs a good bath but we are waiting for her to get used to NARC before stressing her even further!  At least we got all the burrs off of her and she did get a good brushing!
