Dear Readers:

Pet Rescue Magazine is a result of combined passions for our own rescues, and the many homeless and unwanted pets still in need.

Our magazine to this point is a “labour of love” but from all of the positive and heart warming feedback we know our venture is worth pursuing. However, time and resources are limited, as we are made up of a very small group of individuals that also have day jobs, and still actively volunteer in animal rescue. As a result, it has been decided that Pet Rescue Magazine will be published every other month in 2010 to allow more time for future development. We feel this is the only way to maintain the standards we have set, while still allowing time to plan for our long term security, growth and expansion.

Our plans are to expand in size, broaden distribution, and continue to increase awareness on rescues and their need of good homes.

Thank you to our advertisers, we look forward to your continued support in 2010.

Thank you for reading PRM!

Hi, my name is Huff and I am a 3.5yr old Red Heeler X. I measure 20” from floor to shoulder and weigh in at 55lbs. I am a very respect-ful gentleman, but I can get excited when

I see people I really like. I am house & crate trained, very quiet, not likely to lick your face and I do not get up on furniture. I am a plea-sure to walk and I even let my caregiver clean my feet after so that I don’t get my dog bed (which I absolutely love!) dirty. I also play nice with my chosen companions and did great at the groomers. To learn more about me con-tact SCARS at 780-466-SCAR (7227)

Amazing Animalsby Janice Ryan

Tail Of The MonthReview by Jamie Hunter

Ok, ok, I know it’s a fi ve paw system and fi ve is the max but this book truly is AMAZING and, I enjoyed it so much, it simply deserved six! At fi rst glance you might compare it to other feel good animal story books, but this is not your common bowl of soup.

Amazing Animals is full of incredible true stories about interspecies encounters that had us all laughing, crying, cheering and smiling the whole way through. Personally I fi gured with it being short stories it would be perfect to pick up for a “little quiet time” in the evenings. Around 6:30am (the morning after I started the book) I had to laugh off my irritation of having to put it down to get in the shower – but not before fi nishing the story about an octopus named Otto who creates the most comical confusion with his out of tank evening escapades!

Along with the many remarkable stories from around the globe, there’s also some amazing Alberta animals featured bringing welcome local fl avor and spirit. Bailey Jr. a 1200lb Alberta buffalo literally hangs out with his family watching TV and cruising in the convertible, a special rescued horse named Sweet Nothing from Big Julie’s Rescue Ranch gives inspiration to us all and Riley a rescue dog from SCARS heroically saves the family bunny.

An added bonus comes with the “Creature Features” found throughout the book. These informative excerpts give the

reader an opportunity to learn about some of the marvelous animals featured, and, by keeping them short and packed with interesting facts your sure to stop and read each one!

From the breathtaking encounters with grizzlies, crocodiles, lions & gorillas, to the precious stories of interspecies surrogate mothers, all ages will appreciate these astonish-ing stories and thoroughly enjoy the humor & heart in which they are delivered.

Janice Ryan is a local, born and raised, Albertan with a background in Zoology and Marine Biology. She has been an active volunteer with the primates at The Edmon-ton Valley Zoo for several years, rescued many animals (including her SCARS rescue dog Zorro), produced/hosted several features on animals (including “The Edge” taped at The Edmonton Valley Zoo & “All About Pets” aired on CBC) and also won the AMPIA Award for Best Narrator on a wildlife documentary for The Discovery Channel. Janice believes that it is within everyone’s scope to make a difference when it comes to walking kindly and softly on this wondrous earth.

I am Whiskey Girl! I am a very happy, healthy and well behaved 8yr old senior. I love long walks, playing Frisbee & ball in the backyard, and cuddling. I am too old

to keep up with little guys although I wouldn’t mind a mature teenager to play with and walk me. I would also prefer a home that is not too crowded.

I’m Willow, a 1yr old girl in need of some guidance. At first I was afraid, but now I think cuddling is the best thing ever. I am still shy but I think some socializa-tion/obedience

classes would help raise my confidence. I play with other dogs and dog savvy cats, but some-times forget that the cats are much smaller than me! I am crate trained but wouldn’t mind sharing a bed.

I’m Dodge and I am full of energy! I am 1.5yrs old and I have a lot of love to give to people, other dogs, and cats. I do need some training as I have not yet perfected walk-

ing on the leash…whatever that is. Oh and I think I should have a playmate cause it’s fun and energy draining.

I am a 2yr old boy named Calvin. I am quite calm and like to sleep close by but I’m still working on some of my manners. I get along with other dogs and kids are OK too. I

have some anxiety about being outside alone, and feel my kennel is a very safe place to be. I would love to go for long, energy draining, walks and would prefer a bully experienced owner as I can be a handful at times.

My name is Titan, which may sound tough, but really I’m just a big 1yr old goofball! I love my foster siblings, but it took me awhile to get along with everyone

due to my energetic & persistent nature. I am always in play mode but do not share my toys very well - they’re mine! I would do well with an experienced owner who is willing to walk, play, and train me to keep me busy.

I am Ciara and I am almost 4yrs old. I love to lie on my blanket or close to my foster mom as she works. I also love long walks in the country and walk well on leash. I

get along well with other mature & laid back dogs (and kids). I would like to live in a quiet household with just people as my hip gets sore when I run around too much with other dogs or lay on it too much.

Hi my name is Chico and I am a 7yr old Chihuahua. I am super sweet, hand-some and I get along with everyone! I was surrendered due to a family illness, but I’m looking forward to finding my new forever family. I am house & kennel trained and I love to cuddle. One secret you need to know about me is that I will do anything for peanut butter.

Hi my name is Charlie and I am a hand-some Lab X around 5yrs young. I have a great disposi-tion so for any of you looking for a BIG dog with a puppy personality - I’m

your man. I came to SNAP from the pound so little is known about my past. One thing I know for sure is that I LOVE belly rubs!

I’m still here, waiting for you to come and meet me! My name is Savan-nah and I was found at the dump with my puppies. All my pups have been adopted into wonderful

new homes. I am a 5yr old, loyal, Golden Retriever X with a wonderful personality. My nickname here is Sweetie!

Hello! I am one of three puppies that SNAP rescued when it was 40 below. My two brothers and I look like we are Black Lab crosses around 3mths old. We are typical pup-

pies and life is all fun & games to us now. If your family is looking to adopt a puppy please call, we would LOVE to meet you.

I’m Frankie. I am a 1yr old Chihuahua and I am super duper sweet. My foster mom says my name should be Sticker because I follow her everywhere! I love, love, love to cuddle. Hanging out, going for car rides and playing with my foster buddies are my favourite things to do. I am currently in foster care with dogs, cats and children & we are all one big happy bunch.

Hello? Hello? I can’t hear you, and that is because I can’t hear. I am one of the special needs cats that SNAP has available for adoption. My name is Beaker and I am a

beautiful, 5yr old, friendly and social boy. Can you find it in your heart to give a special cat like me a home?

Spay/Neuter Action Program (SNAP)

Hi everyone, I’m Icicle but you can call me Ice. I am a handsome 4mth old with beautiful eyes. One is blue and one is green! I am almost all white but I have a

smudge of black in the middle of my head that my foster mom says gives me character. I am social, friendly and playful...could I be your next playmate?

Hi, I’m Nutz… I mean my name is Nutz, but please don’t let it fool you as I’m a pretty relaxed cat. I am about 4yrs old and extremely hand-some. I came from the pound

so my past is a mystery, but because I am such a friendly guy I know I will find my perfect home soon.

My name is Maggie. Don’t you think I’m the most beautiful, elegant little lady that you’ve ever seen? Don’t worry, I’m no Prima Dona. I love my playtime and going for walks. I’m good with dogs and I’m even OK with cats. I do get lonely though so I would appreciate a home with another canine companion where my humans don’t leave me alone too long.

Beagle Paws Rescue

www.beaglepaws.com ~ (780) 488-4636

My name is Marley - but not the one from Marley and Me (I’m even better than that Marley!) I’m a typical Beagle that has lots of energy and needs to be walked. Even on these cold winter days, just give me a nice coat and some boots to keep my feet warm and I’m ready to go! If you would like someone to share your winter walks why don’t you give me a try?

I am a large Rhodesian Ridgeback X named Jack and I already know the com-mands sit, down & shake a paw. I love to be in the centre of family life and I am good with

children of all ages. I am ok with being crated but I can be suspicious of new people at first. I need a home that will continue my training & socialization, while loving me for the sensitive & affectionate dog I am underneath my macho looking exterior!

My name is Reba and I am a young Lab/Collie X. I’m shy and try my best not to be noticed. At first I wouldn’t leave the kitchen and kept my head down all day but now I’m

more adventurous! I surprised everyone when x-rays showed my pelvis was once broken and healed awkwardly. I can look a little crooked as a result and I often rest my hind leg a bit like a horse when I’m standing. I would do best with fairly minimal activity, I am happy just to hang out with my people and be loved.

I am a 5mth old German Shep-herd X named Felicity. I was seen being thrown from the back of a van on the highway. I am ok now though and ea-ger to start my new life. I’m

a laid back, easygoing and I get along with everyone. I am also house & crate trained. I’ll be a large dog when I’m full grown but I still need an indoor home.

Hi, I’m Caleb and I’m a long-haired cat lover’s dream! I have a beauti-ful coat and will require regular brushing to keep it in tip top shape. I am about 4-5yrs old, quiet and

very sweet. I just want to be snuggled at every opportunity. I would love a calm home without children, but with lots of love!

Hello! I’m Freckles and I am a 2yr old friendly guy looking for a forever home! I’m very so-ciable and love to get cuddles and attention. I also get along great with other

animals and love looking out of windows.

www.nasap.ca(780) 922-0250

I’m Bear, a big beautiful 9yr old with eyes that you will just fall in love with. I can be a bit shy in new situations but once I’m given some time and patience, I’ll show my fun-

loving side. I would love to remain with my best buddy Daisy, but would also be happy as an only cat with people that can give me lots of love and attention.

Hi, my name is Charlee and I am a 1yr old Australian Shepherd X. I weigh 30lbs and I love to be on the go. I have more energy than I know what to do with, and

might be best suited for a family without small children. I get along with other high energy dogs and love to be glued to you human folk. Oh, and I should confess something, I absolutely must go to a home with a tall wooden fence as I have been known to climb chain link.

Jarvis here! I am a young Smooth Collie X and I am just a big puppy at heart. I’m about 1.5yrs old and I LOVE everyone.I’m good with kids but I’m not so great with cats

and for the sanity of felines it is felt that I might be best in a no cat home.

I’m Cedric and I’m very hand-some! I’m a 1yr old classic tabby with beautiful green eyes. I’m very outgoing, ultra affectionate and gentle with people. I’m not too sure about

other cats and dogs yet, so a quiet and loving forever home would be ideal for me.

I’m Daisy, and I have the most beauti-ful big green eyes. I am 6yrs old, very friendly and I love to crawl all over you for attention. I was brought into care with my

friend Bear, and we would love to stay together or go to separate homes where there are already friendly resident cats.


This is the heartwarming story of a little pup that was helped through her sickness by a friend as told by Terra Maclean of Prairie Animal Rescue (PARS). Happy Valentines!

Ada was one of three puppies, who came to Prairie Animal Rescue (PARS) with her sisters Amy and Cara. Ada was very sick with a deadly virus called Parvo (a viral infection of the digestive tract that most puppies do not survive). Ada fought the virus for over a week before she started to show signs that she was going to make it through. However, after being released from the veteri-nary hospital into my care, something still didn’t seem right with her. It was as if the battle had stripped Ada of the will to live. She had no interest in eating, was lethargic and sad. In my attempt to keep Ada alive, I began force feedings every few hours. Ada’s vet was confused as to why Ada was continuing to fail.

Then one day Ada met Crispy, they were an unlikely couple, Ada a pup and Crispy a cat. Crispy had only been in rescue for a couple of months and was clearly display-ing the dislike he had for other cats, but Ada, well she, was love at fi rst sight.

Crispy has his own sad story to tell, tossed from a moving vehicle he sustained a skull fracture, and a concussion that caused acute blindness. He survived and recovered fully from what seemed the impossible and even regained his eyesight.

Crispy took Ada under his paw, perhaps recognizing another struggling friend. Crispy would snuggle up with Ada, and went on to licking Ada’s face. It was on a similar occasion that Crispy ate out of Ada’s bowl then started licking Ada’s face, he repeated his actions several times before Ada began eating on her own, but she would only eat what Crispy would. Over the following few days, and as their relationship blossomed, I could see Ada’s drive for life was fi nally coming back.

Today, she follows Crispy everywhere, investigating only what Crispy investigates and cuddling only with Crispy. The two clearly love each other’s company, and both are thriving.

Become a foster home or adopt one of our many furry friendsMy name is Josie, and if you thought Lassie was a keeper wait till you meet me! I think I’m a Collie/ Husky X around 5mths old. I love to play and run with other dogs and don’t mind the cats. Leash walks are fun and I am learning quickly (I love treats!). I am a little pigeon toed (which just makes me cuter) and cuddling is my new favorite word.

My name is Zelda and it’s hard to believe someone is not missing me. I wandered onto a farm in the middle of nowhere. I seem to be well cared for, only a year old and I love attention. I am a beautiful Collie/Husky X that is good with other dogs, great off leash and I weigh around 65lbs. I love attention and when I’m really happy I like to talk!

I was left at the pound by my previous own-ers. SCARS picked me and my 6 puppies up in terrible shape, we were very thin and malnourished. Sadly I already lost one little angel named Jordan. I am a very sweet and kind natured girl. I also have an awful wound to my side that is currently being treated but it will be just fine.

My name is Buck and I just arrived at SCARS. So far I’m good with people, crate trained and not too crazy about cats. I am about 8mths old and possibly an Akita X. As you can see, I also have beautiful blue eyes and brindle markings. I’m a fairly solid guy and my tail was previously docked.

My name is Beans and I am roughly 1.5yrs old. They believe I am a Doberman/Rotti X. I got the name Beans because I have beans in my pants! I have been working

with the PAWS volunteers and have come a long way. I am ready for my furever home.

Hi, my name is Theo and I am a pretty shy guy. I am roughly 1.5yrs old and they tell me I am a Terrier…likely crossed with something out of this world! I would do best

in a home with another dog and no children.

My name is Timmy because I was really timid when I first came to PAWS but now I am the life of the party. I love playing with my dog friends, getting cuddles from people

I know, and being the center of attention. It takes a little while for me to trust new people but once I know you everything is OK.

Trigger here. I am a young Border Collie X that is one handsome devil. I would be a great dog for a family that could give me a “job” to do. I love play-ing dog sports

– agility, flyball, or disc, it doesn’t matter to me. I recently competed in a disc competition and won a metal in the game High Five!

My name is Zipper and I am full of Zip (energy that is!). I have the short legs of a Corgi and the brain of a Terrier. I need a family that understands the Terrier breed and is willing to

go back to the basics with me.

My name is Lily and before my rescue some mean people decided to shoot me with a pellet gun. It was not fun for me, how could it have been for them? The last few pellets will be removed shortly leaving me good as new. I am a Husky X around 5mths old and I get along with everyone. Sometimes I just get so happy that I let out a beautiful low key song.

My name is Mira, short for Miracle. I was saved by a caring soul who took me in, however as a result of a procupine quill I lost the the vision in my left eye. I am so grateful that hart was called to pick me up along with my eight puppies.

My name is Shine and that is what I do! When I was rescued I had mange which caused a lot of irritation and hair loss around my eyes. I am all better now. I am about 6mths old, affectionate, walk well on leash and I’m good at coming back when called. I give cats plenty of distance and respect – I’m kinda scared of them!

Saving Animals From Euthanasia (SAFE)

My name is Jersey, but I look more like a Holstein don’t you think?I am a small loving girl despite my rough start to life. I am recovering from frost bite on my

ears and paws, but my doctor says I’ll be just fine. I am looking for my forever family who will snuggle and chase toys with me.

Hello my name is Sasha, I am very affection-ate and love to have my ears scratched. I am looking for my forever family who will spoil me with treats and love.

Hello, I am Pretty Peter.I am a young adult male with lots of energy.I love to be in on all the action or I will snuggle with you if that’s what you want.

Duke & Duchess Animal Rescue SocietyGuess who I am? Yep, my name is Lady Love and I’m the mother of Leah, Raffi, and Ruby. I am so grateful DDARS saved my little family! I’m still a little timid but very loving. I

was so weary after looking after my babies and being out in the cold. I weigh about 37lbs and I am around 2yrs old.

My name is Ruby and I am 4mths old too. I am very pretty and quite well behaved. My siblings and I have been working on our potty training and we keep getting better

and better on the leash. We get along with dogs of all sizes and can’t wait to find our special families.

Aries: March 21 - April 19With Valentine thoughts in the air you may find it hard to focus in February. Embrace the holiday but do not be

consumed by it, especially financially. A few well thought out words can mean more than any $6 greeting card out there!

Taurus pets love their toys and given their often stubborn natures it’s no wonder they sometimes have trouble sharing.

If you have a Taurus littermate then best you not attempt to borrow their valuables until they’re sleeping.

Every February you Gemini pets always try to search out the Valentine goodies. Chocolate is toxic to many of you so

watch out. You don’t want end up at the vet and mortgaging the dog house!

Decisions are hard to make, but especially difficult when they concern others you know. Keep your eyes open and

your ears perked so you can separate the sheep from the goats and distinguish the good from the bad.

Whether it’s for dinner, treats or attention you always seem to get knocked out of the picture. Be proud and reveal

yourself, chances are you will end up with the lion’s share once they know the real you.

Sometimes the battle is lost before we even realize we are fighting. Stay strong, keep your back straight and your

snout up! You can’t always win, but we all have to take chances and often proceed on a wing and a prayer.

Cancer: June 21 - July 22

Leo: July 23 - August 22

Virgo: August 23 - September 22

Are you, or a friend, looking for a new friend Scorpio? Think rescue! There are thousands of rescues on the prairies,

and although puppy love is always special a housetrained adult companion lets you sleep in.

It often seems you get yourself into one dilemma after another. Try to slow down before reacting and keep yourself

out of trouble. After all, the chickens come home to roost and the consequences are always your own.

Still stuck in the Dog Days of winter? Buck up cowboy! The days are getting longer and you’ll be outdoors soon. Until

then, remind your parents you need more exercise by chewing shoes and bouncing off the walls.

An appreciative gesture could inspire friendship mid March in the last place you expected. As surprising as it may be,

try not to bother figuring out your change of heart or you may end up a lone wolf.

Taurus: April 20 - May 20

Gemini: May 21 - June 20

There’s no question you’re cute, and everyone has their charms, but personality will only carry you so far if you

can’t keep your paws off the food on the counter. Mind your manners or you may end up back in obedience training.

Scorpio: October 23 - November 21

Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21

Capricorn: December 22 - January 19

Aquarius: January 20 - February 18

Pisces: February 19- March 20

Cupid’s arrow may miss a few of you Libras this year, especially if you come across as too needy. Unless you’re

a rescue looking for a new forever home, try to be patient and give others the opportunity to pursue you.

Libra: September 23 - October 22

HoroscopesWhat’s In The Stars For Your Pets This Month?

My name is Leah and my littermates (Raffi and Ruby) and I are about 4mths old. We are Shepherd/Collie crosses who love to play and be cuddled. We also think it’s

wonderful to be safe and warm with full bel-lies! I think we look pretty dashing in our new winter coats, don’t you?

My wish came true! I’m Raffi and we wanted a warm place to sleep with somebody who cared and here we are rescued at last…now all we need are forever homes. There are many

more like us that need to be rescued still but DDARS needs more foster homes. Please call if you can help!
