Urgent Foster Needed!
|
Nika is a dog who's in need of an urgent foster home. Nika is approximately 1 year old, she gets along well with most dogs, is probably too bouncy for very small children. She loves walks, runs, and learning new tricks. She is okay with dog-savvy cats, as she tends to chase them.
If you are interested in fostering Nika and joining our team of heroes, please email: foster@masrescue.com. Thank you! |

We need donations!
|
Manitoba All Shepherd Rescue was founded in 2006 and has been able to save hundreds of lives because of all the wonderful supporters and donors. MASR, for the first time in many years, is in an urgent plea for monetary donations. We have THOUSANDS of dollars in veterinary debt that we MUST pay off before the end of June. The lack of funds is causing us to move towards going on an intake freeze until further notice... this is NOT something we ever like doing because as a rescue, it is our mission to help as many dogs as we can and place them in forever loving homes.
So this is our plea. We are hoping our supporters can help us recover and continue doing what we love doing. We have almost 10000 people who follow our page on Facebook, if even each one of our followers donated $1 each month it would help us stay afloat. We understand that everyone has their own financial commitments and support more than one charity, but we are hoping we can generate enough monthly sponsors to be able to continue for many more years. |
We have a few things going on right now that help support our rescue.
1. Our sponsorship program (see details in the green sponsorship poster) 2. Our Cash Raffle running all summer 3. Weekly/Monthly commitments All monies can be donated through e-transfers, cash or cheque. All donations $25 are eligible for a tax receipt. Treasurer@masrescue.com -- e-transfers 82 Norham Road, West St.Paul, MB R4A2A8 -- cheques Or in cash at any one of our events. Please be sure to include ALL contact info should you want a tax receipt. We are grateful for the continuous love and support and hopeful for the future. With gratitude, MASR Admin team. Charity number: 769665498RR0001 |

Dog of the Week: Tick!
|
Tick is our next dog of the week for this week. She came to us with her sister Nika when they were roughly 8 weeks old, estimated DOB is March 2018. Tick was adopted and returned to us through no fault of her own and she is waiting so patiently for her forever family. Tick is good with dogs, she can be a bit timid but she does enjoy being active and playing. She is crate trained and knows her basic commands.
Does she sound like your next best friend? Email: adopt@masrescue.com |

Introducing Donut!
|
Donut is a female German Shepherd cross, estimated at 4 months old. She was a single stray from a remote community. She is settling into her foster home where she is with a cat and some awesome kids. Donut's foster has said she already knows: sit, lay down, stay, and shake a paw. She loves being outside, she loves people, she is working on crate training, and leash training while in her yard. She is not yet available for adoption but keep checking back for updates. Isn't she just the sweetest? Welcome our newest MASR rescue!

Watch Ash on Global!
Scam Alert!
|
It has been brought to our attention that there are individuals collecting fraudulent donations on behalf of several rescue groups in Manitoba. These individuals are accepting cash or etransfers through their personal email accounts and the funds are never forwarded to the rescue they claim to be representing. They are falsely identifying themselves as rescue volunteers and are committing fraud by targeting the generosity of those who support animal rescues.
Manitoba All Shepherd Rescue only accepts etransfer donations to the following email address: treasurer@masrescue.com |
We also accept donations directly to our account at Plessis Veterinary Hospital.
We never solicit donations by phone, email or go door to door. To confirm whether or not an individual is associated with MASR, please email us at the above address. If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, please contact Winnipeg Police Service to report it. |

Our New Sponsorship Program!In the spirit of thanksgiving weekend, we wanted to introduce our new sponsorship program. This sponsorship program is designed to help vet and feed all our puppies and dogs in care, as well as any unexpected costs.
We are currently almost 100% out of food for our dogs. But to keep it simple for everyone, and keeping things easier on our dogs stomachs, we are now looking for monetary donations so we can purchase large quantities of food, and still be able to issue tax receipts to all those who donate $25 or more. There are 4 levels of sponsorship, and you can choose to donate as monthly sponsors or not. You can also choose if you want to be the sponsor for a certain dog or puppy. Costs of veterinary care (including medication) has been increasing, as well as the cost of quality dog food. One of our long term residents is now on a fully raw diet, plus natural supplements in order to help finally put an end to her allergies and boost her natural immunity. Her costs alone for maintenance is $150-$200. Please let us know if you have any additional questions about our sponsorship program. Please share this poster as well as we can really use the support to keep our rescue functioning and saving as many lives as we can! |

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." |
