Navan Animal Rescue Corporation (NARC)

We would like to say a big thank you, sending hugs and kisses to everyone who has donated lately.  We had 400.00 donated by Help Ottawa Fur Kids; a young girl asked for money on her birthday and raised 220.00 for us.  One of our rescues Buddy and his mom Rachel came with harnesses and other donations, few volunteers got together and brought a trunk full of food, treats.  The Manotic Classic Boat Club got together and brought towels and donations.  All in all, a busy weekend mowing the front property, weed eating in the dog runs and visitors with gifts for or doggies or money for our vet’s.  It was nice and hot and although we had to bring the doggies in a bit earlier each night due to the fireworks in the area, it was quite pleasant!

The female black labrador that was found on 10th Line Road has been reunited with her family last night!  We were so happy for this beautiful older gal…

Last night I dropped off Zeke and Gabe at the vet’s for their neuters, rabies, DA2PP and check-ups this morning.  I also brought Jiji, Bear and the new male lab puppy for shots and check-ups.  They will now be ready for adoption!  I went back to PetCetera last night and bought more doggy bones at .05 cents each which was quite a great deal!  We now have enough bones to last a few months, every night before bedtime, our doggies get a chew stick or bone so this was definitely a good buy.  We now have over 1,800 bones for them – YIPEE!

On 10th Line Road near Navan Road, Labrador mixed.  E-mail us if you have lost your female lab this morning.

We often have kids coming to donate to NARC, as young as 2 years of age which always makes me feel so proud of our young generation!  A few of our cliets daughters always ask for NARC gifts for their birtdays and bring over the donations they have received.  We have a young boy celebrating his b-day this weekend, donations to NARC is his request and he will be dropping them off sometime next week.  We had a young 2 year old lately that came and donated some items she raised funds for and now… 

As some of you may recall, we were one of the charities selected for the Fundraising at Avalon Public School and they have presented us with a cheque earlier this week – we are so proud of all of them for having supported two charities in their community!  I wasn’t able to go personally, Dave represented NARC twice at this event.  But, I do wish to send out a big THANK YOU personally and from all volunteers.  We send you big HUGS and KISSES from all the pooches we have at the farm!

We are working on our testimonials, taking clients comments sent by e-mail and placing them where people can see!  It is starting to look great and will get better every week, keep your eyes peeled, you may want to know how one of our dogs you liked is doing – might be posted very shortly!

This is your baby girl Cloette, when she arrived at NARC…  This is how the dogs get to us, matted, dirty, stinky, bad teeth, not spayed, no shots…  Just to give you all an idea!  I am sure Sara will post an after picture on facebook and send me one so you can see her cute little face now!!!

For those of you who don’t know Sara is one of our volunteers, she adopted Cloette after fostering her for a while, she fell in love with this cute little girl who definitely loves her mommy!  Sara and her mother Kim are also the ones who named her when she arrived at NARC – although they had never seen her this way – I had already groomed her by the time volunteers met Cloette!

We picked up 3 new puppies Thursday night who really needed a Tea Tree Oil Shampoo bath and quickly, they were quite stinky and dirty!  We dewormed them with Strongid-T, gave them a doze of Multi-advantage for any external parasites and scheduled a vet appointment for their 1st shot on Saturday.  Now they have their 1st DA2PP and are ready for their loving homes.  The male is black, one female is black with a hernia and the other female is brown with black nose and also has a smaller hernia.  We think Shiba-Inu mixed Labrador but not 100% sure, their ears are quite small…  They are definitely cute!  We also have a new pomeranian, 5 years of age that will be ready on the weekend – he definitely loves humans!
