Boston Terrier and Pug Rescue of Southern Manitoba Inc. Newsletter   November 2017 Well it's been a very long time since we have sent out a newsletter to all our amazing followers. We will try our best to get these newsletters out more regularly.  Did you know that November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month?   This article by the Animal Foundation, lists nine reasons to consider adding an adult furry friend to your family when you are ready to adopt.    9 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Pet 1. What you see is what you get! When you adopt an older pet, you’ll already be able to tell its full-grown size, grooming requirements, temperament, and more. This kind of information will help you pick the right dog or cat for your family. 2. Train less, enjoy more! Adult pets are more likely to have received obedience and leash training from a prior owner. That means fewer accidents in the house, less leash pulling when out for walks, and more built-in manners from your family’s new furry friend! You can spend your time and energy welcoming your pet into the home instead of having to completely train a younger animal. 3. Old dogs (and cats) can learn new tricks! Even if your new, older pet hasn’t received any formal training, adult dogs and cats are calmer and more focused than their puppy and kitten counterparts. That makes them the perfect candidates for learning basic commands or more impressive moves for treats. Former owners may have already taught your new furry friend how to sit, stay, or lay down, too! 4. Age is just a number! Senior pets provide just as much love, companionship, and excitement as younger ones! No matter the number of years lived, pets still enjoy regular exercise, playtime, and Netflix marathons on the couch with you. Let an adult pet lead a more relaxed, caring life by your side. 5. Older shelter animals aren’t “problematic” pets! Older dogs and cats lose their homes for a number of reasons, usually having nothing to do with their behavior or personality! Common reasons older pets are surrendered to shelters like ours include moves, career changes, new babies, death of a guardian, allergies, and more. Don’t make the mistake of assuming an older pet is available for adoption because something is “wrong” with them! 6. Years of love and fun are still ahead! Dogs and cats live for 10-15 years on average, and many live even longer than that. A 5-year-old pet has lots of love and adventures to share with you, and providing a home to an animal in its “golden years” can be just as rewarding and special! 7. Senior pets need homes, too! Adult pets are often passed over by potential adopters for younger animals. By adopting a shelter senior, you’ll give that dog or cat the second chance at a happy, healthy life they deserve. 8. Many shelters offer senior discounts — for both pets and people! November is recognized as “Adopt a Senior Pet Month” nationwide, and many animal shelters offer discounted or waived adoption fees for pets above a certain age to celebrate the occasion. They may offer senior pet discounts year-round, too! Call or visit your local shelter to see what promotions might be going on when you’re ready to adopt. Shelters often offer adoption specials for senior citizens, too — our Seniors 4 Seniors Adoption Program allows adopters 60 years and older to take $50 off the adoption fees of all dogs 3 years and older and cats 1 year and older every day! 9. Pets don’t outgrow cuteness! All pets are cute, no matter their age! Need we say more? Love has no age limit, and our senior pets are ready and waiting to meet you! When the time comes to open your heart and home to an older dog or cat, be sure to visit our Facebook Page or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Scarlett has found her forever family. We still need to sign the papers to make her adoption official. While recovering from her first TPLO surgery, Scarlett tore the ACL in her other leg, so she will be undergoing her second TPLO surgery this week. Please send positive healing vibes for this sweet girl.  Update on Patrick... Patrick has completed all his Heartworm treatments and had the lump removed from his head. He has met a wonderful family and will be starting adoption trial with them this weekend. If all goes well he will have a new Min Pin sister named Hazel. Keep your fingers crossed for Patrick that his adoption trial goes well. :) Meet Gizmo and Gabby... Gizmo and Gabby are a bonded pair of pugs. They are only 6 months apart in age and grew up together. They are looking for a forever family that will adopt both of them together. We will not be separating them. They are okay with children over the age of 12 years of age. A home with another dog is okay, but must be submissive as Gabby is a little bossy.  If you are interested in learning more about Gizmo and Gabby, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Meet Herman and Lily... Welcome to the rescue!!! Meet Lily Sparrow(left) and Herman Jack(right). Names were Halloween themed and inspired by Herman and Lily Munster and Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. They were surrendered by a family from Sapotaweyak Cree Nation. They are Pug x and approximately 7 weeks old.  Thank you to Tracy M. and her group for asking us to help out. We are honoured to give these two sweethearts a new start at life. These two babies will not be ready for adoption for about another 4-5 weeks. We will post when we are ready to accept adoption applications. Donations of puppy food (canned or kibble) (grain-free and premium quality), disposable puppy training pads and of course monetary donations to help pay for their heath checks, vaccines and future spay and neuter.
