FREE/TO BE GIVEN AWAY
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

TAURUS
(Apr. 21-May 20)
Putting new things in place that involve home or family could prove to be beneficial financially, as long as your focus is in this direction, rather than increasing spending. Practicality is required when it comes to the more pleasurable side of life. It might be time to scale things back to the more necessary rather than indulgent.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
The New Moon has just occurred in your sign and with it can come some benefits, especially in any situations that involve you with a group of people. This might also be connected to friends. If there is somebody who could put in a good word for you, don’t hesitate to ask. You might realise you have forgotten to pay something.
GEMINI (May
21-June 20)
Unexpected new opportunities can present themselves that should have a degree of excitement or anticipation connected to them. There might be something similar to past experiences you have had but this time you will be in a better position to sit back and let things take their course slowly, allowing you to analyse the true picture.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
Someone who seems generous may be thinking more of their needs than yours. Don’t be tempted to put your own priorities to one side or leave something to later that should be dealt with straight away. You need to be sure that you will be appreciated, not just praised, for any new obligations you consider taking on.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
New people that might enter your life can be a lot of fun. It might also be that you should perhaps generate some of the enjoyment you see other people producing in life, into your own. Try to avoid getting too tied up in trying to work out the true intentions of others up to late August. Just ensure you keep control of your own situation.
Venus, the planet of balance and harmony has now moved into your sign where it will remain until the 29th August, joining Mercury, the planet of thought and communication. Itmightbetimeto reconsider something on a personal level, mainly to bring a more settled or amicable tone to it. There could be hidden benefits.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
Someone else could be very generous when it comes to what they are willing to provide or promise in the future which will open up new directions for you. This will not be without its obligations and though you may not want to analyse these in detail, it would be wise of you to consider them through to the end of August.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
There could be a burst of self confidencetotackleanyjobsyoumight not enjoy so much that will bring much enjoyment because of what you are able to accomplish. This in itself will encourage you to keep at it. Somebody else could change their mind or their position up to late August. Best you simply go with the flow.
CANCER (June
21-July 22)
There can be much for you to consider to the end August. Don’t make any decisions in a hurry or you might need to change your mind later. Any new way of dealing with your finances because of not really knowing what might develop in the future could actually bring benefits if you stay on the cautious side with spending.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You could feel it is time to take a new approach when it comes to important things in life and how you want to develop them in the future. Being able to take time out here and there will possibly seem more essential than it has in the past. This would be a wise choice because it would give you more time to think things out.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Youneedtoremainfocussedonfuture goals or possible directions life can take up to late August. Involved in this can be separating what is best for you because of what needs to be managed on a regular basis and what somebody else may expect you to manage. There is no point in becoming a slave to others expectations.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
It won’t hurt to leave usual routines to one side and take advantage of any new social activity that might present itself. You could come away from that with a totally different way of looking at things. This might include involving yourself with more pleasurable ways that benefit your health as this still needs attention to late August.
The year is 1958, the year of British Columbia's Centenary, and in celebration, the Northwest Brigade Canoe Race has been established to commemorate BC's 100th year. In this photo from around 1958, the scene is the Nechako River. My dad, Jim Sellars is in the bow and Albert Ennis is in the stern. This was one of their practice runs for the Northwest Brigade Canoe race, unfortunately, they turned over in the Isle Pierre Rapids and did not finish the race. It was an anxious time when they failed to appear at the end of the race. Photo Credit Dorothy Sellars. Article credit: Gerry Sellars
