Pets and Animal Rescue Info

Our Lost Dog Teddy On October 5, 2009 we lost our beloved pet of 16 years.  'Teddy' decided to go for one last walk - without us. We all miss him VERY much - Thank you Teddy - we LOVE you. He was a very special member of our family. It's in honour and tribute to one of the best friends I ever had, Teddy,  - that I offer this page of information for pets lost, found, missing, etc.

This site is also about helping find or rescue other pets from a terrible fate.   April 13, 2010 we adopted 'Mika' from the Prairie Dog Canine Rescue.  We met Mika at a Dogs in the Park day.  She chose us as her new family and well, she's so cute how could we Ever say no to a face like this!  She absolutely loves it here!  Check out that smile :)

Where do you begin?  Here's the most usual contact numbers for pets.  If you have lost a pet or found a pet - the Animal Shelter and Humane Society are the best places to begin.  If your pet has a city license tag or other particular tags, collar, etc. be sure to provide all the detailed information you can.  DON'T JUST CALL the Animal Shelter.  Go there and check for yourself.  Some agencies have a policy of putting down unclaimed animals in a very short amount of time - How DISTURBING!  

If you still have no luck in finding your pet, here's some of the local veterinarians - please check your telephone directory for more listings in your area.

You can always call and leave your information with the local media in the event of a lost pet.  Some radio stations even broadcast lost pet bulletins on air.   

Posters, flyers with picture(s) and all the necessary info to help identify and find your pet.  Contact information - be cautious just what all information you do put on the poster - that information becomes very public once it's out there. 

Next (or should it be first?) Shopper's Drugmart for Kleenex and lots of it.

You can contact the rescue agencies and let them know all your information.

Other Animal Agencies

As we uncover more local information on pet rescue etc. we'll post more info here.  If you have other contact information that should be included please drop us an email 

Teddy

You know - this little dog had more character than any pet I've ever known.  There's oh so many stories and memories.  Reminds me of a time years back, I did a service call at a cowboy poet's home.  You just knew how he loved his dog.  He told me that dog was so smart, he went and rented the movie 'Lassie' for the pair of them to watch.  After sitting side by each all night just watching the movie, he says to his dog "Pretty good movie heh?" and the dog repiled "I think the book was better!".  That's character.
