Without a doubt, my favourite thing to do in my spare time is watching Netflix with my wife and our two majestic beagles. For those of you who feel the same I offer this two-fold piece of advice: the 2009 film Hachi: A Dog’s Tale is perhaps both the greatest and worst film to watch with your dog. You have …

I’d always been rather domestic but recently took a trip to the wild side. Interning at a wildlife rescue taught me so much and changed my perspective about the world around me. Working with wildlife fostered a deeper love for nature and one thing became incredibly clear: coexistence is key. Living in urban areas, our relationship with wildlife can easily …

Hi Montreal Dog Blog readers!  Hope you’ve had a wonderful summer! Baby Jasmine Rose is doing so well! I love being a human baby mom!

  Last year I posted a beautiful letter that was sent to Montreal Dog Blog by our friend Suzannah Vanson. Here is a wonderful update on her furbabies.

They sometimes won gold,  sometimes not, but their pride in our country was palpable from so many thousands of miles away.  It is the same when you represent your country in …

As you all know if you follow my blogs we are just finishing up our last seizure which began last September at the SPCA Annexe. Some had a home for the holidays and many more found their way out of the shelter in January. Surprisingly we still have 6 little souls looking for a place to call home. Each one …

                  For 100 plus little souls and a mountain of volunteers and staff Christmas came early this year. Over the past week  dogs that finally found compassion and comfort in our arms over the past 3 months were liberated. What does that mean to them? No more babies being born, no longer …

The SPCA Annexe has recently developed an exciting and dynamic 10-month pilot project for teens, called the Youth Ambassador Program (YAP). It offers the opportunity for small groups of youths aged 12-17 to participate in a series of 6-week sessions and become actively involved with the Annexe through supervised interaction with designated animals and structured fundraising activities. The goal of this project is twofold: to teach youths empathy and compassion and …
