Navan Animal Rescue Corporation (NARC)

I went to the vet’s on Friday with Aphrodite’s two male puppies for their second DA2PP and check-up, they have thumbs up again from the vet’s.

Major cleaning and re-organization at NARC’s this weekend.  On Saturday, I javexed all the walls in the back room, re-organized all the doggies’ sleeping arrangements, giving them and us more room to move around.  Took me all morning but it smells and looks great!  On Sunday, I did the same with the nursery, javexed all the walls, re-organized so that Abigal was able to move in and get the room pretty much to herself!!

I went to pick up Willy from his neuter and shots, did a poop sample and he had hookworm so is now on medication for that.  Basilissa went for her hernia repair, spay and dental cleaning with shots, she is so sweet and sat on the passenger seat all the way home and didn’t say a word.  Raphael also went for his neuter, dental cleaning and shots, he is doing very well and will certainly find a home very soon, he is a toy breed!  Naya also went for her spay, one of Nyleina’s pups – too adorable!

Now for Rex, we went for his multiple x-rays tonight and seems it definitely is Patella surgery needed for both hind legs.  The left leg being worst so we are trying to raise funds to have his surgery done next week.  I’d like to say a special THANK YOU to those that have already donated towards Rex’s x-rays, it helped tonigh as we also wanted to x-ray his hips to see if they were normal.  Luckily for him – it was thumbs up for his hips – thank god!  But, really would appreciate help so that we can get him done next week or the following week so he can start his recovery in my home and physical therapy!  Please find it in your hearts to help him and others who are still awaiting their spay/neuter, dental cleanings, shots, etc…  Thank you again for your support towards our beautiful and gorgeous doggies – we love them and see that so do all of you!  BIG kisses and hugs from all of our babes at NARC!

Even Dr. Mobarak made a face last night when I showed him the horrible teeth the two female puggles (Demetria and Agatha) and Michael the beagle had.  Although, he did say they looked quite young, considering!  It is almost impossible to tell age with these guys, the younger ones will be easy as they weren’t in the mill long so their teeth aren’t totally rotten but anyone above 2-3 years of age will be harder due to bad teeth!  I’ve already talked to Dr. Cameron, he is the one doing surgeries today and they have undergone multiple extractions each already!  Poor babies, will be on antibiotics for at least a week, possibly 10 days – will know more tonight when I pick them up and bring them back home to NARC!  Cassiel is also there today, the brown Miniature Pincher, he also will have a dental cleaning although his teeth looked 100% better than the others!

4 of our little angels are being dropped off at the vet’s tonight for their spay/neuter and dental cleaning with definitely multiple extractions, shots, check-up, etc…  Please, if you wish to support our angels by donating to help with these surgeries, it would be greatly appreciated and will help them to no longer be in pain!  I should take pictures of those teeth, amazing what they have been living with…  Bad enough that their nails were over an inch long, a few weren’t eating and no wonder, they are probably in pain so are now on soft foods only.  Unfortunately, these surgeries can’t wait, we will not let these poor souls suffer any longer than what they have already suffered through.  And their dental needs!!!  HAS to be done this week!

You may bring monies to Blackburn Animal Hospital to place on our account or send a cheque payable to NARC at 4388 Navan Road, Navan, Ontario, K4B 1H9.  You may always visit us at the farm, we are opened every weekend, both saturday and sunday from 1pm to 3pm.  There is also paypal but keep in mind that we don’t get the funds through paypal for at least 10 days.  Thank you so much for your support with these beautiful babes, they certainly deserve it!

We still are raising funds for Rex’s Patella surgery, getting his x-rays done this week, starting the process immediately.  We also have a few new dogs to spay/neuter, few need dental cleaning, one has a hernia to be removed, shots to be done, etc…  They are so sweet, little angels watching over us and pulling at our heart strings.  They are puppy mill dogs, they are coming around slowly and of course, a few have stolen our hearts already.  One of the female puggles has gotten to me and so have 2 of the miniature pinchers.  The puggle is so sweet, although very submissive, she now comes for cuddles and goes on her back for a nice belly rub, she has started giving me kisses and is just too adorable.  Although, she will have to wait for her spay as she is quite healthy and young, a few of her mates need immediate attention and are going to the vet’s tomorrow for surgeries (Spay, Dental, Shots, Check-up, etc…)!  Pictures coming shortly of our little angels and in a few weeks time, if you are looking for a smaller breed dog – come and visit us to meet our new babies!

All of us at NARC would like to wish you all the very best christmas and happy new year!  We thank everyone for their donations to help with our rescue this past year, surely you understand that if it wasn’t for people such as yourself we wouldn’t be striving the way we are at present.  Thank you is such a small word for such big help we’ve had from you all in 2013.

Another Thank you to all our volunteers for their help, renovations, construction, caring for our pooches and always having smiles on their faces, ready for hugs at any point in time and always there for NARC!  It was a great year and let’s make 2014 even better!!!  Love you all and sending you big thank you hugs and kisses from all of our pooches and you know they love it!
