Shuggie is home from her dental!

She needed two teeth pulled. She also had a small umbilical hernia repaired, got up to date on her vaccines, had a snap test done, and received more prevention. She already has a home lined up once she’s fully recovered, and we are so excited for her!

Thank you to Dr. Middleton and the entire team at Dundas Animal Hospital for always making sure our animals receive the very best care.

Our family has taken our personal pets to Dundas for as long as I can remember, and we are so grateful for the compassion and care they give both our own animals and our rescue animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have a vet clinic that is so understanding and makes everything so easy. Even when I’m in there making their lives more difficult with all my crazy rescue shenanigans 😂.

Thank you as well to all the Salty supporters for helping us afford the care Shuggie deserves.

Now there’s just one more step to her rescue journey…forever!

🚨PLEASE SHARE OUR FUNDRAISER SO WE CAN KEEP SAYING YES.

Animals continue to lose their lives at a heartbreaking rate across Ontario. Endless happy, healthy, loving souls are being euthanized in local shelters or left suffering while trying to survive outside. The only way we can continue taking in these animals is with your help.

We are fully volunteer run and receive no government funding. Right now, we need to raise at least $3,000 before I can comfortably commit to another intake. We have multiple upcoming vet visits, and the little dog dentals have really been draining the rescue account.

I truly hate that rescues have to rely on begging for donations to help these lives, and I wish there was another way.

We’re hoping this raffle helps us reach our goal.

If every follower purchased just one ticket, we wouldn’t have to say no to an intake, solely due to lack of funds, for the next year.

🎟 Virtual Tickets:
$10 for 1
$20 for 3

Each ticket enters you into a draw for a chance to win 1 of 2 amazing gift baskets!

📅 Draw Date:
June 1st at 7:00 PM

Winners will be contacted directly and announced in the post.

To enter, please send your e-transfer to:
[email protected]

Please include the word “raffle” in the transfer notes, along with your email address if you would like confirmation of your entry.

Prize pickup can be arranged within one hour of the Brantford/Hamilton area.

If you’re unable to donate, a share, comment, or little bit of engagement goes a very long way.

A huge thank you to for getting us the donations to use in the prizes!

Thank you so much to anyone able to participate so we can continue helping even more animals.

It’s Buttons’ 4th birthday and his mama Twix’s last time ever having to give birth day too!

All they wish for on this special day is for a forever home. If you’re able to share their post so we can finally find their humans, it would be so appreciated.

This mother and son pair are still looking for the perfect people to give them the home they deserved from the start.

Twix and Buttons have been through being dumped twice now. We will be very picky about the home they end up in. They deserve bun savvy humans that can be committed to giving them both only the best for the rest of their lives.

Twix was originally found dumped on a trail, pregnant. She had her babies at our local shelter and we couldn’t say no to taking them. Twix is approx 6 months older than Buttons.

Mama is a typical shy bun but will do anything for a treat! Buttons is a bit shy too but is the cutest kissy boy. They are both gentle and sweet natured. They will need some continued help with socializing but with time, and some extra treats, they warm up to new humans quickly! They are somewhat litter trained. They would like a quieter home where they can continue to be spoiled and loved for the rest of their lives.

These two have had some amazing fosters along the way, but we can’t wait until they finally find their forever!

Twix and Buttons are spayed/neutered, microchipped and will be up to date on their RDHV2 vaccine.

Also the biggest happy birthday to Twix’s other two adopted babes, Nibs and Skor!!

We are now accepting applications for Skye!

Skye
1.5 yrs
Dogs ✅
Cats with proper intro ✅
No small children ❌

Skye does still need her spay and remaining booster/prevention, but we would love to have a home lined up for her once she’s fully vetted.

Skye was found as a “stray” dragging a large chain before ending up at our local shelter. Shepherds rarely do well in a shelter setting and we couldn’t say no to taking her on.

Skye seemed to lack exposure to a lot of things when she first arrived at her foster home and was a bit insecure. Thanks to Jordan, she’s thriving and has shown just how much of an amazing dog she really is.

Skye is a goofy, happy girl and has been nothing but a love bug while in our care. She has a surprisingly low level of reactivity for a Shepherd. She’s great in her crate, does well in the car and loves a good belly rub. If you have a love for Sheppies, she’s your girl!

She is young and is still working on her manners. She can be a bit play mouthy and jumps up when excited, so small children would likely not be the best match for her.

She’s been a good girl around the kitties in her foster home. She’s been great with other dogs and would love a buddy.

Skye will benefit from continued training. Providing structure/boundaries will ensure that she keeps the label of “goodest girl ever”. She would do best with people that understand and respect the breed and are willing to set her up for success.

Skye absolutely loved joining her foster mom for canicross. She would love to find a family that will make sure she gets to enjoy even more outdoor adventures.

Jordan recently found a used canicross harness the rescue purchased and we know it will help Skye and future Salties receive the fullfillment they deserve while waiting for their forever homes.

If interested in giving Skye her perfect forever home, please fill out an application on our website.

Happy Victoria Day from the Queen herself, Shuggie!

Poor Shug is so scared of the fireworks. I tried to see what I could use for a makeshift thunder shirt. This dress fit her perfectly😂

She’s been loving life at Salty HQ and getting her steps in. She’s already making progress towards her weight loss goal and is the sweetest little thing!
