As you all know we have had to close our doors to any and all intakes over last few days. We have been focused on collecting donations to help pay down our debit .
We are so grateful for all the support , the Amazon packages that have been delivered have been amazing and so much needed. Little Ember (who is doing wonderful) is set up for baby blankets and formula that is for sure !!
The kindness and support has shown our small team that we can do it! Rescue is hard and saying NO to any animal is a huge heart ache.
We are so pleased to announce that Animal Hero’s Rosin Jaw Contracting has joined us in our fight against animal cruelty and abuse. They have committed to a monthly donation to help us continue to fight and support the animals in our area. When they heard we had to close our doors they reached out immediately. “HOW CAN WE HELP” They are very aware of the abuses we see and help with. Even though we have had to closed our doors and posted that we can no longer help. We continue to receive several calls every day as well as messages and texts for animals that need help and the plea to surrender
animals . When these people message or call you hear the desperation , they have already messaged every other rescue who has told them they are at max capacity, have no room or they say we can put you on a waitlist. Some of these calls are dire and emergent, which makes saying no all that harder, I received a message about a litter of puppies that are in desperate need of help , I reached out to Rosin Jaw , and Without hesitation they stepped forward to sponsor the entire litter as well as foster them and bring them into care. The animals and our team are incredibly grateful for their dedication and support. Join us today in $5 Friday !! Thank you to anyone who donates today for our $5 Friday event. Our goal is to pay off more of our medical debit at the BCSPCA clinic and Ospika animal hospital . As fast as we place money on the accounts we have other animals that need service.
Donate today luv4paws@telus.net
Every dollar helps every bottle donation helps
If you have any questions or need support please text or call Andrea 250617-1419

1. Human teeth are the only part of the bodya that cannot heal themselves. Teeth are coated in enamel which is not a living tissue.
2. It's illegal to own just one guinea pig in Switzerland. It's considered animal abuse because they're social beings and get lonely.
3. The Ancient Romans used to drop a piece of toast into their wine for good healthhence why we 'raise a toast'.
4. The heart of a shrimp is located in its head. They also have an open circulatory system, which means they have no arteries and their organs float directly in blood.
5. Amy Poehler was only seven years older than Rachel McAdams when she took on the role of "cool mom" in Mean Girls. Rachel was 25 as Regina GeorgeAmy was 32 as her mum.

8. The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. It was apparently chosen because of its connection with dominance and chivalry as well as purity and innocence in Celtic mythology.
9. The first aeroplane flew on December 17, 1903. Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, with their first powered aircraft, aka the first airplane.
10. Venus is the only planet to spin clockwise. It travels around the sun once every 225 Earth days but it rotates clockwise once every 243 days.
11. Nutmeg is a hallucinogen. The spice contains myristicin, a natural compound that has mind-altering effects if ingested in large doses.

13. Competitive art used to be an Olympic sport. Between 1912 and 1948, the international sporting events awarded medals for music, painting, sculpture and architecture. Shame it didn't catch on, the famous pottery scene in Ghost could have won an Olympic medal as well as an Academy Award for the best screenplay.
14. A chef's hat has 100 pleats. Apparently, it's meant to represent the 100 ways you can cook an egg. Wonder if Gordon
TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
You might need to accept where you have got to, which may not be as much as you had planned to do from mid July. It may start to become obvious that financial expenses in other directions will be more than you had previously anticipated. This could continue on until early September, so it would be wise to pull back now.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
Something you hadn’t planned on could need your attention so that you create a balanced situation for yourself before matters move on in some way. Involvement with a group of people on either a work or personal level, also friends, could generate more than you anticipated up to early September. You may need to reassess your priorities.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
Someone who is very much an individual and determined to do things in their own way could be an encouragement for you to realise certain obligations that need to change to create more balance in your life. This might encourage you to pay greater attention, even emulate, the way they have organised things in their life to have this freedom.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
Be careful that you don’t become overly confident and as a result either take risks or overextend yourself. There is too much that is not entirely evident right now especially if somebody else feels they should have more say or have a greater degree of independence in some way. Time will bring things out into the open.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Someone else could seem secretive with their ideas up to mid August. This doesn’t seem to interfere with your need to be able to maintain a structure of doing things in your own way, which you feel is important to keep under your own control. There should be the opportunity to involve yourself in situations you enjoy up to early September.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.22-Dec.21)
The detail involved in doing something properly may be of little interest to those who would rather create an impression in the quickest way possible. This could be more than frustrating. You might need to weigh up whether this would be better dropped, especially if you realise that most of the work could be left to you.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Alternative ideas on how to make things more pleasant in situations you need to deal with on a regular basis can be a big help in getting some matters completed. This might be due to dealing with different people, particularly up to mid August. You can make a lot of progress up to early September, even if only in small but persistent steps.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
You will need a lot of patience, especially in any situation where you are working with a group of people. You would be far better to sit back and observe rather than attempting to put your plans fully into action. Give out enough information to stimulate conversation. It is what they avoid or disagree with that will tell you a lot.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You can experience others putting themselves first which puts a strain on things important to you. The realisation that this could be something that develops more in the future could be a wake up call to give greater attention to what it is that you want as time goes on. Giving yourself thinking time to mid August is a good idea.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
A pleasant and unexpected surprise could come your way from someone else. This may stimulate you to think about future possibilities quite differently, especially if it fits with what you enjoy. What you need to manage on daily basis will be busy and will tend to grow, rather than shrink up to early September so stay on track.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
Any hectic activity that has just started to take shape can continue up to early September. This can include the need for much communication or running around, even on a daily basis. It might make you wonder this week whether some sort of pleasurable activity should be wound down, so you can apply yourself properly.
Frenchy's Café, 1968. Ramsay knows that.
15.In 2014, there was a Tinder match in Antarctica. Two research scientists matched on the global dating app in the most remote part of the world - a man working at the United States Antarctic McMurdo Station and a woman camping a 45-minute helicopter ride away. What are the chances?!
16. The Spanish national anthem has no words. The 'Marcha Real' is one of only four national anthems in the world (along with those of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and San Marino) to have no official lyrics.
17. The Japanese word 'Kuchi zamishi' is the act of eating when you're not hungry because your mouth is lonely. We do this all the time.
18. The probability of a blue lobster existing is widely touted as being one in two million. Bright blue lobsters are so-coloured because of a genetic abnormality that causes them to produce more of a certain protein than others.
19. There’s only one letter that doesn’t appear in any American state name. There's a Z in Arizona and an X in Texas, but no Q in any of them.
20. Louboutins' iconic red soles were inspired by Andy Warhol. The 60s pop artist's drawing Flowers caught the eye of the famous designer which gave him the idea to add the infamous sole to his designs.
