Odin just returned to his foster home after 10 days of battling #parvovirus.
He fought hard and is going to be okay, but it’s left him thin and frail.
Maybe a treat toy or two would help - HINT, HINT. ⬇️
We’re sure he’ll be back to his chubby cuteness in no time! 🐶

Meringue may have been born blind but it hasn’t slowed her down! 🏃‍♀️💨
She is one of dozens of hamsters and Guinea pigs we’re trying to make room for, so if you’ve had your eye on a critter to foster, or adopt, we could use your help! 🐹

Despite intensive treatment, Montgomery, Alfie, Kipp, Buckley, Kassie, and Logan have lost their battle with #parvovirus and have crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈 We followed strict protocols to limit the spread, but this was an extremely aggressive strain.
The other affected pups are improving. 🤞

It’s the first big snow of the season and our foster pups are loving it! ☃️
Here’s Fudgesicle, Goliath and Velma enjoying a romp in the white stuff! 🥰

When you know, you know!
Thanks for the #pupdate!

These sweet pups recently arrived at Safe Haven and unfortunately brought #parvovirus with them. 💔 They all became extremely ill, and have been hospitalized!
We are desperately asking for your help, as their emergency care is expensive.

Please, donate at care.aarcs.ca/fundraiser/parvo-puppies

Mama Miley was skinny and stressed when she and her 6 pups arrived at their new foster home, but now she can focus on raising her babies in a safe, loving home. 🏡

Happy Halloween! 🎃
Have fun trick or treating and please keep your pets safe!

AARCS and Canadian Animal Taskforce have just rescued nearly 300 dogs, cats and livestock in Valleyview, AB.

It was a massive operation and we want to thank the many organizations who stepped in to take animals. 🙏

If you are able to help with their care head to aarcs.ca/media/northern-rescue.

It’s National Cat Day and while you’re celebrating YOUR favourite feline, why not help us out with ours!
This little peanut, Cardi B, is asking for more pâté! 😻
We’ve made it easy to buy and send us supplies, and we won’t say no to cold, hard cash, either! 🤑
Head to aarcs.ca for options! 🙏

Did you know a cat can get pregnant as young as 4 months old? 🐱
Asher, Ellison, Jayden, Parker, Kori, and Maverick will never know parenthood, and that’s a good thing!
Once they’ve had their surgeries, they’ll be ready for adoption!
Watch for them at aarcs.ca/cats.
