OUR GOAL: 100 HOMELESS PETS ADOPTED. Let’s get them ALL home for Christmas!! We have 2 teddy bear hamsters up for adoption at the shelter. These guys can come with their cages and they make funny little pets! They are very soft and sweet. They are getting used to being handled, so older kids would make excellent guardians for these little guys!

Dave Paetkau, a hitting coach with Team Canada softball, works with Nanaimo Breakers U12 player Shyla Athey during a clinic last month at Seaview Elementary School. A boys’ clinic followed later that day.

Kabel Atwall thinks the club’s national profile will help in the search for a new coach. “We’ll try to do this as quickly and as seamlessly as possible,” Atwall said. “With the reputation the Raiders have, I don’t think we’ll have a problem attracting good candidates for the position … If there’s somebody applying from within, obviously they would get maximum consideration but at the same time, there’s a lot of other good people in the country and even in the city of Nanaimo who might be interested.” The Raiders might shuffle some duties around, as Matt Blokker handled many other roles aside from coaching. But one coaching
duty will always remain the same. “Any coach that we hire will have to be in line with the Raider philosophy, and that’s winning,” said Atwall. “We’re not looking for a drop-off in any regard.” Blokker said he’s grateful to the community for embracing the Raiders, supporting them, sponsoring them and cheering them on over the years. “I was always extremely honoured to be the coach of this team and I leave that way,” he said. “At the end of it I just hope that sports fans and people in Nanaimo will remember what I’ve done here as a coach and remember me as a winner … It’s been one hell of a run.”

Mom is a very sweet girl. She came to us with a broken pelvis and is now healing up and ready for her own home. She will need an indoor only home as her pelvis is still a bit tender. She is a quiet, affectionate cat and we will be offering a discounted adoption fee if we can find the right fit for someone looking for a companion and willing to give her the retirement home that she deserves! MOM We currently have 3 rabbits up for adoption at the shelter. These little guys can wait far too long for their own homes. If you are considering adding a rabbit to your family, please come to see us today! BUNNY FACE

Misty is a sweet, tiny dog. She came to us with matted fur and an ear infection and seemed sad and scared. Not anymore! This little girl is cleaned up and happy! Misty has a neurological issue, so she will always walk with a wobble, and does fall over from time to time. She doesn’t let it stop her though! She loves to run around! She is just waiting for her spay appointment and then she will be ready for her own home! If you are looking for a sweet, little dog, this might be the one! MISTY

Robbie has been a stray cat for the past couple years, we tried to find his home but we didn’t have any luck. He has just had dental work and is now ready for his new family. We don’t have any info on his previous life but he has been around other cats and seems to keep to himself. Robbie does have a longer coat and will need to be brushed every couple days to help keep it nice. This kitty has been quite shy so far but is getting a bit more settled, we are still getting to know him. ROBBIE Little Gypsy is a sweet and comical dog! She came to us when her owners could no longer care for her. She is smaller than the photos seem, but she is a lot of dog! She will make an excellent agility partner as she is fast and agile. This little fence jumper bonds quickly with her people and is very easy to train. She will need an active home, and one that can provide her with the mental stimulation that her active brain craves. If you are looking for a dog to work with, consider Gypsy! LITTLE GYPSY
We have learned that Daisy would prefer a home where she can be the only cat. Daisy would do best in an indoor/outdoor home as she gets a little stir crazy inside. She has a short low maintenance coat requiring occasional grooming, Daisy loves attention and cuddles as long as it’s on her terms. she may not be suitable with small children.
