Midnight has found a home

After months of searching, and waiting.....

our little man "Midnight" has finally found a family to call his own. 

We couldn't be happier for everyone. 

We know that he will be very happy with them, and they will enjoy his company as well. 

We are confident that Tucker and Midnight will become fast friends. 

Wanted: Someone to Love!

We have two adorable kittens up for adoption here at the clinic.  They are about 9 weeks old and have had their first set of vaccines and deworming.  The boy is a rambunctious, playful black short hair while his sister, a brown and white tabby is much more laid back and cuddly.  They are both in search of their perfect family, could it be you?  If you would like to meet them in person feel free to stop by the clinic for a visit.  You're sure to fall in love!

Beagle Paws - success story



Typical beagle in Newfoundland.
http://www.beaglepaws.com/page-of-shame/

From the Harsh Realities of a "Rabbit Dog" in Newfoundland to the comforts of her forever home in Ontario...

Inspired by a recent article found in Canadian Pets & Animals Magazine about Newfoundland's Beagle Paws Rescue, the following is a story about our own Beagle Paw's Beagle, Jaimie (Owned by Lisa B.)

While living for a short time in St. John's Newfoundland and while taking my pug Spud for a walk I came across a building with a sign reading, Beagle Paws, Promoting Beagle's as Family Pets, thinking "What else would they be?" I went in.  Here I learnt that the Beagle is the most abused breed in the province. Living by an Old-Aged Myth (as the article reads) that 'hunting dogs' do not need human interaction and do not make good pets, Old school thinking Newfoundlanders still hold this falsehood to be true. Other myths that are held true to this day are: A beagle must be hungry to hunt and should only be fed every other day, spaying or neutering a dog ruins their ability to hunt, beagles should be kept in outdoor enclosures and beagles cannot be house trained. Knowing these myths are patently untrue and seeing with my own eyes in my own neighbourhood the conditions in which beagles were kept I got involved with Beagle Paws by volunteering and becoming a foster parent. Here I met Jaimie (Beagle Paw's name, Jane) a very scared, skinny, obviously abused but sweet little beagle who I soon realized I couldn't part with as a foster dog and adopted her for good. Two years later and back in my home province of Ontario with her hard life behind her, Jaimie is one of the most loving, forgiving, loyal dogs I have ever met.

Toronto Bans Sale of Puppies and Kittens at Pet stores

This is excellent news.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/toronto-sets-new-rules-for-sale-of-dogs-and-cats/article2175317/

Toronto City Council has banned the sale of puppies and kittens at all city pet shops.
The majority of these pets come from Puppy and Kitten mills, where there is in-breeding, serious health problems, poor socialization, poor treatment and care and they are forced to live in very small cages.

If you are looking for a pet - Adopt from your local shelter or humane society. In most cases they will be fully vaccinated, dewormed and Spayed or Neutered.

Here's a story....of 3 lovely ladies....

Let us introduce you to 3 beautiful little girls who are looking for their 'forever homes'.

Marcia, Jan and Cindy....They are 3 ladies who's mother was abandoned at a farm and were brought to Royal City Animal Hospital by a very caring staff member. They had 3 brothers (Greg, Peter and Bobby) who all found good homes. These ladies would like their chance to show someone how cute and adorable they are and what wonderful companions they would make.

Take a peek at this video if you want your heart to melt......

Cindy: born April 25, 2011. She is "the tiny terror". She may be small but stay out of her way when the food bowl gets filled.

Jan: Born April 11, 2011: "the playful one". If you leave it around, she will play with it.

Marcia: Born: April 18, 2011. "The Social Butterfly". She has no fear, she will even run up to a dog and say "Hi, wanna snuggle?"

To inquire about adopting one of these girls....contact Martha at 519-763-4992 or send her an email: rcahclients@rogers.com
