The Gananoque and District Humane Society needs people with big hearts to help care for all the abandoned animals.
Volunteer opportunities include cleaning cages, feeding the animals and helping to socialize them, as well as non-shelter activities such as helping with fundraising, driving the animals to vet appointments, fostering (both cats and dogs), etc.
If you have some time to spare, please contact the shetler at 613-382-1182. We -- and the animals -- appreciate it.

Discarded Yellow Labs Need Forever Home!
The Gananoque and District Humane Society has just taken two beautiful yellow labs into care due to a family break up.
Simba (on the left) is a nine year old female yellow lab. She is extremely friendly and has a sweet disposition. She loves kids, people and other dogs. Simba barks nervously with men but settles when she realizes there is no threat. She has been raised as a house dog with a fenced back yard. When she goes for a walk she tends to pull a bit. Simba loves to show her affection by giving hugs. Simba has been raised with her sister Nala and takes on the “big sister role” by cleaning Nala’s ears and eyes. These two sweeties are never more than a foot apart. Oh yes and we can’t forget, Simba loves to be vacuumed!
Nala (on the right, above) is also a nine year old female yellow lab. She is also quiet and sweet much like her sister. Nala is short and stocky compared to her tall slender sister. Nala is definitely the couch potato of the two. She enjoys going for nice slow walks, forget running! Nala is also great with kids, she loves the attention. These two cuddly dogs would make excellent family pets.
Both dogs would make a family complete. They miss their family and rely heavily on each other so hopefully they can be adopted together. Both have been vaccinated, wormed and have had a health exam. Booster shots for both will be required in about three weeks. Simba has a slight tartar build up which may be resolved by diet. Both dogs have slightly pink ears but no sign of mites or disease. Otherwise both appear to be in good health. Neither of these two girls has yet been spayed. Some question has arisen about their actual age and it has been suggested that they could be as young as six. We have not been able to get a definitive answer to this. Considering the degree of bonding between the two it is very important that they go to the same loving home.
Attached are photos of both courtesy of Lyn Sargent at Howl-a-Day Inn.
To enquire about adopting these two beautiful ladies, please contact the Gananoque and District Huimane Society at 613-312-1512.

An Unwanted Pet's Lament
Life is harsh out there.
Did you know? Did you care?
You picked me up in your arms
And took me in your car
To a place so near to you
And yet so very far.
Life is harsh out there.
Did you know? Did you care?
You took me to the country
You said “you will find a space.”
You left me in a ditch
By some farmers place.
You left without a glance
Life is harsh out there.
Did you know? Did you care?
The farmer didn’t take me.
His barn was already full.
I guess there are others like you.
Who really just don’t see
that…..life is harsh out there.
Did you know? Did you care?
And so my life began
Searching for a shelter safe
From the cold and from the rain
Searching for a little food
And running from the dangers.
Life is harsh out there.
Did you know? Did you care?

Oreo Needs His Forever Home!
Oreo
Large-sized Male, Domestic Long Hair, Black and white
PetFinder ID: c116-07-08
It's hard to believe that gorgeous Oreo was abandoned by his owner, but so he was, on July 1, 2008. He is a wonderful lad who is reserved until he feels comfortable with you (not surprising, given his experiences with humans), then he becomes a chatterbox. Oreo is approximately 2 years of age and has many years of love and companionship to offer.
Oreo is neutered and is up-to-date with all shots, including rabies.

Help the Animals Give Thanks at Thankgiving!
GANANOQUE, ON (OCTOBER 1, 2008) – Throughout this Thanksgiving season the Gananoque & District Humane Society encourages the public to remember the animals spending their Thanksgiving in our shelter and to help the animals give thanks.
Through your donation of food we can fill our animals’ bellies with a festive Thanksgiving meal.
Your donations of blankets, carriers and toys will make our shelter a warm happy home for all the animals currently waiting for a forever family.
Why not give a pet something to be extra thankful for this Thanksgiving by visiting our adoption centre and giving an animal a new home! There are so many ways pets can bring Thanksgiving into our own homes – every day of the year! They greet you at the door, offer constant love and affection, and share their continuous joy for life! The animals will be eager to share their thanks with a flurry of licks and purrs!
The Gananoque & District Humane Society would like to thank the public for all their continuous support and for remembering our loved animals this Thanksgiving season.
For more information on the adoption process and how to donate please contact the shelter at 613-382-1512 or visit us on the web at http://www.ganhumanesociety.ca/
