Sheryl Crow joins ARC (Animal Rescue Corps) to End Puppy Mills! PSA

To say I was overjoyed when I heard about Sheryl Crow joining ARC's Team and promoting the work they do to save animals, is an understatement! I couldn't be more happy that she's done a PSA  called Educate 2 End Puppy Mills.

I have good reason to feel the way I do about ARC and Scotlund Haisley as they hold a very special place in my heart.  It was a year ago this past October that ARC went into a reserve in Quebec called Lac Simon,  dubbed 'Operation Anishnabe' and trapped and spayed/neutered/vetted several hundred stray animals on the Reserve, as well as those owned by residents of Lac Simon; the strays were sent into various rescues throughout Canada and the U.S.  This was where my 8 former foster babies, Dane/Newf pups came from.  I cannot thank each and every one of them enough for saving our 8 newborn (former) foster pups from certain death and bringing them into Loyal Rescue and my life.  They were still are my heart as I was mum to them; unfortunately the family who had their fur-mum didn't want to surrender her along with her babies, so the pups, my husband and I, with the help of many rescue friends and volunteers over the months took turns feeding and caring for them.   Today they are all gorgeous, happy and very healthy young pups.  You can view many more photos of their rescue efforts on Facebook.  Below are our Anishnabe Pups 8, just before coming into rescue.  Happy 1st Birthday my little ARC Angels!

Sherman and Ruby at the dog park

We had the pleasure of dogsitting one of our former foster boys, Sherman, of the Anishnabe Pups who had been saved by Scotland Haisley and Animal Rescue Corps. (ARC) dubbed 'Operation Anishnabe'  in late October, early November 2011, and brought into rescue.  There were 8 puppies in total  (less then 10 days old) when we first got them.  We bottle fed them until they were old enough to be weaned.  Can you believe we held this guy in the palm of our hands once?  lol   In the Facebook album 'Operation Anishnabe' you can see Sherman and some of his siblings being carried out.  In this HBO Documentary, One Nation under Dog, you can see the conditions of where they came from  *tissue alert*.  This makes me appreciate how far they have all come.    I'm so thrilled to report that all the pups are happy, healthy and thriving in their new homes and couldn't be more loved!! 

 I'm happy to report that all dogs that were caught by ARC were all vetted and medical needs taken care of and all were taken in by rescues and are safe.  Most have since been adopted.  

Here is Sherman playing with his new girl (friend) named Ruby recently at a local dog park.  I guess you can say it was a 'meeting of the minds' as Ruby is 2 years old and still very much a puppy herself.  Ruby is a puppy-mill survivor.   Ruby's (human) mom is also in rescue and we met up with another rescue volunteer (Anna) whom Sherman and I were meeting for the first time.  Anna had the pleasure of meeting Sherman's dad, Veteran, who was lovingly being fostered and nursed back to health by Birch Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation before he was also adopted and is now living the great life too!.   I love full circle moments.  : )

Sherman and Sable - Sibling love like non-other *VIDEO*

I was so blessed to be asked to take care of Ms. Sable, our former foster girl

of the Anishnabe Pups, this past weekend.  All were rescued by ARC - Animal

Rescue Corps. last November 2011 in Quebec, dubbed 'Operation Anishnabe.'
where you will see my former foster babies being rescued and saved by Scotlund
Haisley, President and Founder of ARC, along with his ARC Angels.  Please
'Like' them on Facebook and Share...let's support them however we can.  They do an
invaluable service to all animals anywhere and everywhere the need is.

To say culture shock is an understatement by far!  When I first took in all 8

Dane/Newf x pups, they were days old (7-10) to be more exact...and no mom.

 My husband and I, with the help of other wonderful LOYAL Rescue volunteers

 and friends, bottle fed each and every one of them for the first 4+ weeks until they

 could be weaned and started on solids.  It was truly a labour of love, multiplied!

I'd do it all over again if I had too, without hesitation.  These were 'my' babies and

I was mom this time (not just the mid-wife) as I had been previously with other litters.

A true Labour of Love...of epic proportion.  Lol  I love each and every one of them

and made sure I told them many times per day.  Well, my former foster babies

are now 9 months old and all are exceeding 100+ lbs each, except for Simon, who we

now suspect who's daddy is a 'Golden' .  They have the same mom, but could have

different daddys; however, we believe the other pups all have the same dad, given the

 circumstances they came from, and process of elimination.  I was one very happy

(former) foster mom to have Ms. Sable come to stay.  We couldn't very well have

a 'sleep over' with Ms. Sable without inviting brother Sherman, who lives only minutes

away, for a play date/reunion!  and so this is the result of that reunion and both pups

were overjoyed to see one another again.  Yes, they still do remember each other after

all this time.  As matter of fact, once Sable saw Sherman, I swear she was going to

jump through the car window! she was that excited.
