Some of you following this page very closely may have noticed in the Current Dogs album that there are only 7 of Sweetie's pups showing, instead of the 8 babies that Sweetie delivered two weeks ago. Unfortunately over the weekend we lost our little Tootsie. :( All the others are doing fine and mom Sweetie is fine as well.
Run free little Tootsie... never forgotten
Thank you Canvasback Pet Supplies for your generous donation of food to MASR! Pictured are Canvasback employees Jenna on the left and Chelsea on the right. And Chelsea's Gibson is the handsome pup helping out too! Thanks all!
Coming soon! Drop by and meet many rescue organizations and local businesses, all making a difference for animals in need! Manitoba All Shepherd Rescue will be here with some of our wonderful adoptable dogs... stop in and say hello.
LOUIE and BAJA Visit May 2, 2018
We had a great visit yesterday with both Louie & Baja! Two terrific dogs and either would make a wonderful addition to some lucky family.
Louie is an older adult male Chesapeake cross with a gentle happy personality. He is always smiling, especially when his foster dad speaks to him. Very easy going and laid back, Louie will play with the other dogs but is more interested in being by his people. Excellent manners in the house.
Baja is a young male Shepherd/Husky/Akita cross with a very outgoing personality. Happy and very exuberant, Baja loves affection and attention. Baja is quite large and when excited he forgets his manners so we recommend a home with older children as he could easily knock over a small child. He loves everyone and gets along fine with other dogs. Baja needs lots of exercise and some more training but he is a wonderful and bright young guy!!
Both of these terrific dogs would make great companions! To inquire about either, please email our adoption coordinator at:
adopt@masrescue.com
for more information.
NOTE: Baja is not yet available for adoption but will be very soon once his vaccinations are fully effective.

Introducing KAHLUA and CRASH
|
|
Two new dogs came into our care yesterday. Kahlua and Crash.
Kahlua is a female Shepherd cross pup, approximately 4 months old. Very sweet and friendly with all. Crash is a male Shepherd cross, approximately 1 year old. Also sweet but slightly timid as yet. Both dogs came from remote northern communities. Neither are available for adoption yet. More information and photos soon. |

Introducing Cruz
Beautiful little Cruz was recently flown into our care from a northern community after being found and needing medical attention. This adorable pup is a young male Shepherd cross, estimated date of birth as January 16th, 2018, making him approximately 4 months old now. Cruz had an abscess on his chest/back area and he went straight from the plane to Plessis Vet. The examination revealed a serious injury, possibly a gunshot wound, needing immediate medical attention. Cruz was treated, stayed at the vet's for several hours, then released to his foster family. The drain will be removed next week and we are hopeful that Cruz will make a full recovery! Thank you to all involved in getting this sweet baby into our care! A special thanks to Plessis Veterinary Hospital for, once again, showing kindness, compassion and knowledge to one of our dogs! |

Introducing ROCCO, KAJ & KIERRA

Update from Rocco:
"These past few days have been a huge change, I was taken away from my brothers and sisters and put in a strange home. At first I was shy of the humans here but I've realized that they have specially designed paws, just for giving scratches behind the ears and rubs on the belly, they also give me yummy food. The humans seem happy when I pee and poo outside and give me a treat if I do. When I pee and poo inside they look disappointed and clean it up, this is strange and I'm trying hard to figure out what it means. As for the other 2 dogs, they are nice. One is very playful and fun to be around but she plays too much for me, so after I'm tired I like to go to the old one. He smells funny but is very gentle with me. I find it amazing that even though he's old, stinky and not as pretty as the younger one the humans still love him. Foster mom said that one day I'll find humans that'll love me when I'm not as cute, smell funny and am old too. I can't wait, I've never had a human family of my own!" |

Foster home required immediately for beautiful Snowball (now named Macy) who will be coming back into our care through no fault of her own. Snowball is a two year old spayed female Shepherd cross. She is house trained, crate trained, up to date on all vaccines. Good with adults and children, good with cats and small dogs, timid around dogs bigger than her. She knows commands such as sit, down, come, stop, stay, ready, go. Sits and waits for her food until she is given permission to eat. Snowball is food motivated, loves to play catch, enjoys walks but needs some work on leash manners as she pulls a little. Can anyone help out and foster this wonderful young girl?
If you can help, please email our foster coordinator at:
foster@masrescue.com for more information, or apply online at:

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!
Our hearts are hurting today - we said goodbye to our beautiful boy Bruce. Bruce only joined us yesterday from a remote community after we were advised he had been hit by a car and was in great pain. He was flown to us as quickly as possible and went immediately to our vet clinic. Unfortunately the examination and x-rays revealed far more serious injuries than first thought and the most critical injury was a broken spine. Many of his injuries were old and poor Bruce had been suffering for a long time. The wonderful staff at Plessis Vet did all they could to make Bruce comfortable during the night and today, after an additional exam revealing yet more health problems, it was decided that the only thing we could do for Bruce was to let him cross the bridge and be free of the pain.
Surrounded by several of us, being stroked gently and told how much he was loved, Bruce quietly left us for a better place where he is now free from suffering.
Run free beautiful boy. We only knew you for a short while but you, with your gentle trusting nature, will remain in our hearts forever.
Thank you to the veterinarians and staff at Plessis Vet for their compassion and caring during this difficult time.
Thank you to both Pet Valu Southdale and Pet Valu Kenaston for the great support shown MASR during the month of April. Both stores provided draws and collected food for our dogs, as well as encouraging customers to purchase a "paw" with all monies going to support local rescue efforts. We are so grateful for your continued support... thank you all so much!
DANDI - available for adoption!
Wonderful Dandi is now back in our care, through no fault of his own. Dandi is a one year old male Shepherd cross dog. Dandi originally came to us as a very urgent situation, suffering from multiple injuries and illness. Dandi's most serious problem though was that he had given up. He had no hope left and was waiting to die.
The vets did all they could the day we got him but even they weren't very optimistic. We left the vet clinic that day in tears, feeling defeated.
Dandi surprised us all though by finding the strength to try again and he slowly improved. Once he started eating, we knew it was time to move him to his waiting foster home, where he would receive all the love any dog could ask for!
In spite of all he had endured, Dandi remained a wonderful happy young man, loving everyone he met! Dandi rapidly improved under his foster family's care (and with excellent veterinary care) and he was adopted to a loving forever home.
All went well for Dandi and his family until last week. Unfortunately Dandi nipped one of the children in his home, resulting in Dandi being returned to us immediately.
Dandi is still the wonderful dog that stole so many hearts a year ago! With observation and control of his interactions with young children, we don't believe that this type of incident would happen again. He loves children and would be fine with dog savvy children, instructed in interactions with dogs and puppies.
Dandi is available for adoption. Please email our adoption coordinator at
adopt@masrescue.com
who will put you in touch with his foster family to answer any questions or to arrange a meeting.

We urgently require large and extra large PLASTIC crates! (Sizes on poster) Can anyone help? We could also use crates (plastic) that are slightly smaller for our less than enormous, but still big dogs!
Thank you to the anonymous person for the generous donation of money "In Memory of Kim"! Your kindness is much appreciated.
Our deepest condolences to Scott's family and friends on their heartbreaking loss. And our deepest gratitude to all who donated to MASR to honor Scott's memory.
"... And think of him as living,
In the hearts of those he touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And he was loved so very much."
Rest well Scott, you will be missed.

Beautiful Ranger was a beloved family member of one of our wonderful volunteers. He recently crossed the Bridge after being diagnosed with a serious and not treatable illness, leaving his family heartbroken. In honor of his memory, a dear friend made a donation to our rescue in Ranger's name. Thank you Meghan, your thoughtfulness and generosity is much appreciated.
CAN YOU HELP?

Have any of you following our rescue ever wondered why we do what we do? Ever thought that there's always so many dogs needing help and surely our efforts can't be making that much of a difference? Ever thought that you wouldn't want to foster because it may be too hard to let them go? Maybe figured that donating money or food is just a "drop in the bucket" because the need will always be there?
Well, here's our answer to anyone asking those questions. This picture says it all! The top photo is Orion (now Diesel) who came into our care with his mom and three littermates from a very remote northern community. The bottom photo is Bair (now Bear) who came into our care after his owners moved and left him behind. Both of these photos show these beautiful dogs with their forever families. These two wonderful dogs, and hundreds of others just like them, have been helped by MASR because we had fosters willing to brave the heartache of letting them go on to their new lives. We were able to provide these dogs, and others, with the proper medical care because of the kindness of people donating towards their veterinary care. Good nutrition was also provided due to the generosity of people donating food. This is why we do what we do! "Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever." |
Want to help MASR but not able to foster at this time? We are now looking for event coordinators to manage our fundraising and events! Ideally a two person job to make it easier on both. One first person we require will be someone very organized and be able to direct the necessary tasks from start to finish. This involves (for larger events) deciding on what type of event it will be, booking venues, arranging and posting for donations (baking, crafts silent auction baskets etc.) arranging for dogs to attend (when applicable), requesting volunteers to help at events, arranging for ticket sales when applicable, looking into suggestions for different fundraising events, etc.
Another second person will be responsible for attending events when possible, doing much of the running around - selling tickets etc., picking up donations, etc.
Both or either persons can be responsible for creating baskets from donations received (when there is a silent auction), working with the advertising and promotion people to ensure full coverage of our events, Both or either can be responsible for following up on suggestions received for events or fundraising ideas.
Full training supplied of course and lots of support provided. We already have several volunteers who like to help out, we need a person or people to be in charge! The event & fundraising coordinator(s) will work within a private group with those of us experienced in hosting different events and fundraisers. Expenses are fully covered by the rescue.
If you are interested in joining our great team of volunteers and wish to help in either capacity, we would love to hear from you!
