Moose Jaw Humane Society invites its supporters to take Fat Boy on “vacation” with them this summer.
909-High Street West
Maybe you already live in a faraway destination; perhaps an interesting roadside attraction or stopping by a famous landmark (like the attached photo of FB checking out Mac the Moose right here in Moose Jaw) might suit his fancy – the possibilities for Fat Boy’s journeys are endless. The shelter has chosen a reclining photo of FB from its archives for the promotion, making it ideal for visits to the beach, going for a ride on the boat, or even just living large by pool – just don’t forget the floppy hat and sunscreen! The Moose Jaw Humane Society is fortunate to enjoy such a relationship with its supporters, and the shelter is hopeful that by using their popular mascot for a bit of summer fun, it may also help to raise awareness about pets’ healthy weights. While attaining this balance of regular exercise, not overfeeding, and keeping pets happy isn’t always easy, the benefits are certainly worthwhile for the health, well-being, and life expectancy of beloved companion animals.

This month marks the two-year anniversary of a diet that helped to make the Moose Jaw Humane Society’s rotund mascot cat “Fat Boy” famous around the world. To acknowledge this milestone in the popular flabby tabby’s life (and to celebrate his weight loss from 24lbs down to 17.6 lbs), the shelter has launched a fun, summertime activity for all friends of Fat Boy to take part in. The humane society would like its supporters to help send Fat Boy (or FB, as he likes to be referred to) on holiday; the shelter has prepared a photo of the big man, available on its Facebook page and website (www.mjhs.ca) that can be printed off, cut out, and taken on summer travels. The MJHS hopes that Fat Boy’s friends will then take photos of his paper likeness in different spots of interest wherever they are vacationing this year, and then share the pictures on its Facebook page. Submissions are encouraged over July and August, and the most creative, unique, and adventurous photo will win a MJ Humane Society prize pack to be awarded at the end of August. Fat Boy also has his own Twitter account (@FatboyMJHS), and he will tweet his favourite photos as well throughout the summer.

We would love to share the rest of our lives with just “YOU”

Cuddles – 8 year old female Pomeranian Pepper – 9 year old female Pomeranian Sisters Cuddles and Pepper have lived together their whole lives. These ladies were surrendered to the humane society and are having a hard time adjusting to shelter life. Luckily they are able to spend their nights at home with a staff member getting some extra love and attention! Both girls, once in a home setting have shown that they are well behaved and enjoy nothing more than a nice lap to spend the evening in. They came from a house where they were only paper trained but are working hard at learning to use the great outdoors as their bathrooms. As we look for homes for these special souls, we are really hoping that we can find a home that will take them both. Relying on each other for confidence it would be hard on them to split them up right now. If you are interested in giving both these girl a fresh start in a loving home, please contact the shelter to talk about our special adoption fees. Sniper – 10 yr old neutered male DSH Sniper currently spends his time in the boss’s office; which really is very fitting for this cat, as he loves to think that he is the boss. Sniper is a full figure male looking for an understanding family who “gets” grumpy cats. They understand how he will let you know when he will be touched and loved. We do believe Sniper may have trained with Jackie Chan as he is very quick to swipe if you have pet him too much! Good news though… he has no claws, and is an all-talk no action kind of guy! Sniper’s adoption fee has been sponsored!
Darla – adult female DMH Believe it or not, but this pretty kitty was a stray that no one has come forward to claim. She was found in the middle of June and has been waiting patiently to find her forever home ever since. Darla has a beautiful tabby striped coat and remarkable eyes. She is still active and playful, and enjoys her time spent with the shelter’s volunteer cat cuddlers – Darla would like nothing more than a family to call her own!

Bessie – adult female Mastiff It’s hard not to notice Bessie, the big dog with the enormous head lying resignedly in her kennel. It’s even tougher not to fall in love with her — this gentle giant has proven to be huge softie. Though Bessie came to us from an animal rescue situation, we see this as an opportunity to make sure Bessie gets the royal treatment for the noble dog she is. Bessie has lived with small dogs and cats and is gentle with everyone she meets.
Keely – adult female DSH Keely was abandoned in the shelter’s front porch back in midJune, so sadly we don’t know anything about this sweetheart’s history. We do know that she is an extremely friendly and affectionate cat who likes to stop and chat with passers-by, and her interesting orange on white markings make her a very attractive feline indeed. If you are looking for an outgoing and social feline to add to your family, Keely would be a perfect match.
