Navan Animal Rescue Corporation (NARC)

A neighbour on Smith Road called to say they spotted the little Shih-Tzu on Smith Road so I left in search for it!  Last seen on the bike trail between Milton Road and 10th Line.  I parked on Milton Road and walked the whole trail to 10th Line, brought the other little girl we have here with me in case it is her friend in hopes she would come to her as she is scared of people.  The couple was very nice, looking for her too, walking the trail and driving around Smith Road (they also were parked on 10th Line so I got a ride back around to my car – thanks for that!).  I drove back slowly searching and went back, parked on 10th Line and walked the bike trail again with our little girl to leave some food still looking for the dog but it was so dark we turned around half way through.  Drove back and forth to see if I could spot it on the road but no luck.  So, had to put Finnigan’s groom aside to look for this little doggy that I haven’t once seen yet!  Supposedly it is black and white, earlier this week was seen on Navan Road with a yellow looking bandetta but today they weren’t sure if it still had a bandetta or not.  It is really scared of people so runs away when you try to come near so please call us if you see her/him and we will come with her little friend in hopes they find each other again!  Thank you guys for your call tonight, too bad we weren’t able to find her but if you spot the dog again, please let us know.  Will try to send a few volunteers tomorrow in hopes we can get her to NARC safely before either something eats her or she is smushed on the road by a car!  Keep up the good work NAVAN and passerbys – you guys are great with your stopping in and calling to inform us of this little stray doggy!

Baby Bear has gotten lost in the woods but made his way to NARC, he lost momma bear and poppa bear but will soon find his new loving family to call home.  A quick snap shot of Baby Bear’s paw – can you guess what he is?

You are right, Newfoundland puppy is at NARC.

Well, another 2 were born while I was at work yesterday so we are now at 8 puppies for Kienna – that is amazing.  She seems to be a wonderful mom, taking care of her babies although did look quite exhausted last night – poor baby!  They are all black with grey markings, the pinkest noses ever, too cute – wonder what they will look like in a few weeks time when their eyes open!

Bringing Isis’ last puppy for her 2nd DA2PP tonight and dropping off Bo for his neuter!

Such an exciting day!  For those whom have met our wonderful Alaskan Husky this past week, she is not only gorgeous but was very pregnant when we picked her up last Monday, March 31st.  You can see her gorgeous face under available soon…  She has given birth overnight, woke up to 6 little baby Alaskan Huskies this morning.  We will not be showing them until they are 6 weeks old so please refrain from asking volunteers to disturb mommy and babes until they have their first shots around May 21st.  We are not sure whom the sire is but if the puppies are as nice and friendly as their mother – they will be exceptional little bundles of joy.

Yes, Joanne had spotted Agatha in the back yard, coming from Canary Street into the horses field…  Dave and I got so excited, I ran on one side of the house in the foot deep snow to see if I could get her to come and Dave ran from the other side of the house.  All we did was spook the crap out of her, she was coming home but then ran deeper into the forest when she saw us coming at her!  Got Kim and Sharon to bring me snow shoes, impossible to walk in that much snow and was waiting for the day to calm down, no clients, all dogs inside quiet and I went alone for a few hours in search of our beautiful Agatha.  Binoculars in hand, still wasn’t able to locate her anywhere so I finally gave up when it got dark in hopes to start my search again today.  BUT, this morning, a barking dog woke me up, jumping at the door and making quite a lot of noise – I AM HOME, I AM HOME, OPEN THE DOOR, I AM HOME!  It woke me up with a start, knowing there are no dogs outside but hearing a bark from the outside so I ran out to see if it was our girl and so be it…  She was at the NARC door, running from there to the window and barking at her friends inside to OPEN THE DOOR – I AM HOME!  I called her name when I got closer, she didn’t even hear me come being that she was barking up a storm!  She turned around and ran to me jumping up to say hello, she was so excited, I just opened the NARC door and she ran in, ran into the other room where all her buddies are, ran around the room – you should have seen how excited she was.  I gave her a bowl of food and water and settled her into her crate.  She didn’t eat right away, guess the excitement of finding her way home surpassed her being hungry.  Although I got my regular licks on the hand as a Thank You – Agatha, I am so happy you are back!
