Piles of Puppies
As many of you know, we currently have two litters of puppies in foster. Huss’ puppies and Patti’s puppies, between the two of them that’s 16 puppies in total, on top of that we are taking in another mom and pups from the Manitoba Provincial Vet, so that’s 23 puppies in total! Needless to say, we need to stock up on puppy food! Food donations can also be dropped of in St. Vital, St. Boniface or Osborne Village – email or contact us on Facebook for information!
**Sorry but we cannot accept Beneful, Ole Roy, Kibbles And Bits due to either recalls or other known issues that don’t make us feel comfortable with giving certain types of food to our foster pups.
Kitty Litter
Hey Everyone!
Our adoptable cats are very low on cat litter, please consider donating! We have some foster families in need and some new kitties coming into rescue soon. If you would like to help out, we have drop off locations in St. Vital and Osborne Village. Please email or send us a message on Facebook if you can help!
In the meantime, here’s a cute picture of JFFR alumni, Arthur Christmas!
Pet Of The Week
For our first POTW post, we wanted to introduce you to someone special! And so, without further adieu, meet Cruiser!
Cruiser is a Malamute cross that came to us from the Gillam pound where he was set to be euthanized. Once he was in Winnipeg, he was set up with one of our wonderful fosters who tirelessly worked with him and his shyness. After a failed adoption trial, we felt it would be best to place Cruiser with a male foster, in hopes of him learning to trust men. His current fosters lovingly report that Cruiser is adjusting quite well and is more than ready to find his forever home! He would do best in a home with another high energy dog, as he loves to play! Also, due to his prey drive, we suggest that he be placed in a home without cats.
If you are interested in meeting Cruiser, please fill out an adoption form and schedule a meet and greet!
A sad turn of events
Fiona was a very sick dog we flew down from Norway House in December, she came in with a severe case of mange. Because of the mange we couldn’t have her spayed or 
vaccinated. Sadly we didn’t know that she was in early pregnancy. Tonight we got a call from the foster home that she delivered a puppy! In complete shock I (Jenn) drove there as fast as I could. She 
has been on many meds since she arrived and I had a bad feeling that this probably affected the puppy somehow. I looked the puppy over and saw no visible signs of a deformity. Opened her mouth and saw right away that she had a cleft palate that went from front right to the back. Sadly this puppy had no chance of survival so the humane thing I had to do was put her down.
Our thoughts are with Fiona and her foster mom during this difficult time. We also want to thank every one of our Facebook followers for their kind words and support.
