Where Did He/She Come From ?

... Often times I am asked that question.. Helen.. " Where's this one from ? " There are several different ways these rescues come ( God's Grace being one ).. some are relinquished by their owners.. with a myriad of reasons.. some are from pounds.. others are from the Montreal SPCA & Trois Rivieres SPA.. I truly applaud their efforts now working with the rescues instead of euthanizing so many as before they give/transfer those we in rescue can re-home..

.. The new administration is really trying to turn things around.. now they even give bordatella vaccine to the dogs to avoid " kennel cough " while they wait to be adopted.. Just that is so helpful to us in rescue as it protects our rescue population.. We the rescues can do the regular vaccines/rabies.. heart worm testing.. sterilizing and whatever vetting thats needed.. ie: teeth extractions or cleaning.. grooming.. +++ I wouldn't expect that from the SPCA's as they don't know who will be adopted.. where we in Rescue don't euthanize ever ( unless there is a life threatening condition ) We stick it out till the right owner comes along.. or they remain with us permanently. It's the reason we do need donations so badly its quite an expensive undertaking .. and the need is always there..

All this just to let you the readers know.. that the Montreal SPCA and Trois Rivieres SPA.. deserve some recognition as they rebuild their reputation... I know I appreciate the efforts they are putting into place..
