👻 BOO!
With Halloween right around the corner, we're trading tricks for tails, frights for furry faces, and celebrating all the little moments that remind us why we do what we do. From happy endings to heartwarming beginnings, let's celebrate the good!
So, let's kick off this Halloween edition of with a few treats for the heart!
🖤 Alanna and Nick are no strangers to HSHPE! They've fostered for years, volunteered their time grooming animals, and you've likely seen Alanna supporting the team as one of our Shelter Supervisors. These two have an enormous heart for animals, and when we had a blind puppy enter our care back in April- they stepped up as her foster parents and have now officially foster failed in the very best way! Congratulations to you all, Hinata is so lucky to share her life with you!
🧡 We share a common goal with many rescues and animal related agencies in our community. To give animals the second chance they deserve!
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION- through Furball's Choice!
Max (white male) and Lucy (tuxedo female) are two senior cats seeking to find a loving new home.
After their owner’s passing merely a few weeks ago, Max & Lucy are seeking a new home through no fault of their own. This sibling duo is looking for a quiet, more mature home where they can enjoy the comfort of staying together and showering their new pet parents with love and affection.
Max is a friendly boy who will greet you at the door, accepting all the pets you can give and ensuring you feel loved the minute he sees you.
His sister Lucy is a bit more reserved but once she has found her person, she will be sure to let you know how lovely she is too! Lucy’s favorite game is hide and seek but when she pokes her little head out, she is ready for some attention! If you have a place in your home to adopt these two beautiful seniors, please contact Furball's Choice at 613-743-3600 or email: [email protected]
🖤 Kurtis from Pet Valu Trenton delivered a whole trolley of goodie bags! Thank you so much to everyone who purchased a gift for animals in need and a big thanks to the incredible staff at PVT who's support never wavers. Thank you for all you do for the homeless animals in our community!
🧡 Zack Addy and Lance Sweets are brothers who found themselves wandering stray and later picked up through animal control. Litter mates, brothers and best friends, these two arrived very itchy! They were teeming with fleas but were otherwise in good shape. We treated them with topical parasite treatment right away, these guys were vaccinated, and neutered while in our care. They now have a pair of human brothers who promise to love them always! Congratulations! Thanks for choosing adoption!
🖤 Charlie was found as a stray by a member of the public and brought to HSHPE for his second chance. He was very timid, and had some pesky ticks hiding in his thick fur, but otherwise Charlie was in good condition. Once his stray hold lapsed he was booked in for neuter surgery, all went well and here is Charlie with his new parents! Thank you for opening your heart and home to this beautiful polar bear!
🧡 Rodrigo! This sweet pup came to us as a stray who was picked up through Tweed Animal Control. He had waited out his stray hold but unfortunately, no one came forward to claim him. Rorigo was neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and parasite treated while with us, and his wait was short and sweet. Rodrigo was adopted just shy of 2 weeks after he first arrived. Congratulations!
🍾 POP the Ch*****ne! Our girl is out of here! Damp eyes in the shelter for this farewell. After caring for this resilient pup for 226 days it's clear why she means so much. Our team and committed veterinary and rehabilitation partners helped Ch*****ne have a second shot at a pain free life. We helped her heal, encouraged her to move after surgery, while on kennel rest we laid with her. Our team worked with Ch*****ne after her surgeries to ensure she regained the use of her legs. Once she was clear to go on walks on adventures our staff and volunteers took Ch*****ne out for drives, scenic strolls, and pup cups (girl LOVES her some whipped cream) Her adoption and all the happy tails and second chances are what keeps us strong through the tough times. Thank you for giving Ch*****ne her second chance!
🧡 Lazy Mango was brought to us from a concerned member of the public. He had been hanging around her home for months and needed help. Lazy Mango is the type of cat who you must work to gain his trust, and he wasn't giving it to just anyone. Our cat care experts worked with this beefy boy at his own pace, we quickly found treats were a quick way to win him over. It took months but with time and patience, Lazy Mango made huge strides, and has been adopted. Thank you to our friends at Quinterideforpaws for sharing his story and reaching your many followers. Congratulations to his adoptive mom! Thanks for taking a chance on a big orange lug who will love you, on his own terms and in his own time.
🖤 Penny came to us in late September with another dog. She had some bite wounds on her body but was otherwise in good shape. We treated her wounds, she was vaccinated and parasite treated and she was spayed. Penny met her new parents who fell in love, but had to ensure their existing dog loved Penny too. Everyone hit it off and Penny has started her new life!
🧡 Crow arrived in our care with his siblings a few weeks ago. They were the offspring of an unplanned litter and came to us hoping for a brighter future. Crow had fleas and was treated. He was also vaccinated and dewormed. Crow and his siblings were spayed/neutered earlier this week and Crow is one of the first to start his new life. Happy tails!
🖤 Olaf arrived as a stray mid-September. His skin was red and inflamed and this poor guy was covered in scabs. He had an injured leg which he had been chewing. Olaf was vaccinated and started a course of antibiotics for his infections and within a couple weeks he was looking and feeling much better! Here is Olaf with his new mom!
🧡 Ivy was surrendered to us mid-month when unforeseen circumstances changed the course of her life. She was in good condition which accelerated her adoption! Ivy was a model guest, very sweet and a great walker. She's now been spayed. Microchipped, vaccinated and parasite treated. Ivy has started her new beginning, thank you for choosing to adopt a homeless pet!
🏒 HSHPE has been chosen as the charity of choice for tonight's Belleville Senators game! We can't wait to see you there!
A few reminders to keep your furry family members safe this Halloween:
🍬 Keep candy and chocolate out of paws' reach.
🚪 Watch open doors to prevent accidental escapes.
🐾 Make sure costumes are comfortable and don't restrict movement.
🕯️ Keep candles, cords and decorations out of reach.
🏡 Give pets a quiet place away from trick-or-treaters.
🦮 Use reflective gear for nighttime walks.
A little extra caution goes a long way! Have a safe and happy HOWL-oween!
