Just wanted to let you know that Cuddles & Padama are doing great…they are two playful & lovable kittens..we changed padmay to Padama..When we brought them home first Cuddles was no problem , but Padama was still nervous…But she is doing really well now.They both sleep with us or the kids and they are two very playful kittens…They are eating really well & we just love them both dearly…Thanks from Tonya & Rodney Hillier

Re-Gifters Wanted… Christmas is over and we’re sure you received some wonderful gifts that you’ll cherish always but we are sure you received some stinkers too. How many kettles do you have now? More candles? Towels? Who wears those socks? We’d like to take those gifts off your hands. Call Lisa at 891-4146 or drop them off at the Candi Shop in the Marystown Mall… We certainly appreciate every single item we receive. All our regifts are donated to the online auction. Our next scheduled one will be around late March or April…

Good news… Candi Shop in the old mall now has a can at their kiosk where you can drop off any spare change or Canadian Tire money. YES, you can donate your Canadian Tire money into any SPCA can. You can also drop off canned goods, toys, treats and other items at the Candi Shop that will go directly to the shelter. Now, we have a place in the old mall for those who shop there to donate to the shelter.

You sooooooooooooooooo need to go take a look at the Shiba Inu puppy cam… click here Watch the puppies and their mommy live..

Thank you Ms. Leanne for sending in this adorable e-mail.

Aweeee sweet little Mya aka Tiny all dressed up for the holidays.

Hi,
Honey, Cujo and Blueberry had an excellent Christmas. They all behaved so well, except for when taking down the tree Blueberry decided to climb it!! It was funny!!
Take Care TRACY

I see by his coat he must be a stray,
the untidy look gives him away.
He’s lost his will and is so thin
hasn’t eaten, since God knows when.
I know as I coax him through the door,
There’s always room for one more.

The other night in the freezing rain,
That little female came again.
Matted and soaked crying in need,
lost and alone with babies to feed.
Her pleading eyes I couldn’t ignore,
There’s always room for one more.

There’s a new face on the docks today,
hungry but clean, to our dismay,
I stroked her head, her body rippled,
when she got up, I saw she was crippled
she started to go, but fell on the floor.
There’s always room for one more.

There’s the poor doggy standing in the rain.
I’ve tried to entice him, time and again.
One ear’s lopsided, the other’s been torn,
Blind in one eye, lost and forlorn.
He’s coming now, so I’ll open the door.
There’s always room for one more

Instead of exchanging gifts this year the Burin Girl Guides collected their money and made christmas cards for all the animals at the shelter.They also raised $65.00. Burin Girl Guides You Rock!!!!!!!!

URGENT! Silver is a very special cat, who was in a loving home with one adult after being adopted from us last year. Unfortunately, her owner is ill and is unable to take care of her properly. She is back at the shelter with us and though she’s not causing any problems with her roommates, we can tell she’s really unhappy and we’re afraid she’s becoming depressed. If you are thinking of adopting a friend, then Silver might be the one for you. She would make a great companion and we’d really like to find her a new home soon. Come by the shelter to meet her…..She’s one in a million.

The Staff at Grinders donated $238 to the Burin SPCA which they raised from having Jeans Day Fridays… How awesome!!!! If you haven’t been to Grinders, go now and get cheesecake.. Seriously, log off and go get cheesecake..

Zachary & Zoey Paul made the donation on behalf of Lynette’s Touch of Class. The Christmas Tree in support of the Burin SPCA raised $109.25 along with donations of food, treats, toys & so on. This is the 2nd year Lynette has done this fundraiser.. How cool is she? Thanks Lynette. You my lady, certainly rock!! Don’t yah just want to squat the cheeks off of Zachary and Zoe? Awee…

Roxanne Hackett, Emily Whiffen & families from St.Bernards, Jacques Fontaine & surrounding areas for these wonderful goodies… Wow.. You are awesome..
