Unnamed Flat Coated Retriever puppy mix

This Flat Coated Retriever pup, transferred in from Val d'Or, lasted all of maybe an hour in adoption on Monday morning before she was whisked away home. All four of the dogs from Val d'Or have got their own great personalities and this girl is demure with just the right touch of sweetness.





This girl is one of four dogs who recently arrived from Val d'Or SPCA. Val d'Or is a community hard hit by the economic downturn and so the SPCA there is severely underfunded. When the dogs arrived off the truck in Toronto after their all night drive from Quebec, the driver removed their grungy collars and when James asked her why she was doing that, she replied they didn't have any more collars back at the shelter - which is pretty sad.

So, we're having a leash/collar drive for them. If you've got any old, unused collars or leashes lying around the house, please consider dropping them off at Toronto Animal Services South (15 Nova Scotia Ave. on the CNE grounds) where they'll be collected and sent off to Val d'Or or you can mail them directly to Val d'Or SPCA at:

    My Junebug came from Val d'Or and she has the loveliest personality! I'll definitely get some collars together and send them along.

    Dear Fred,

    I have been lurking on your blogs for years now and I am so touched by the situation in Val d'Or. Do you know of any way I can donate money to them? I tried to email them at the email listed on animalshelter.org, and the email bounced back as "failed".

    Do you know of a way I can send them some money to help?

    Thanks!

    A long-time reader
