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.

OUR APOLOGIES!! Last week we posted an urgent request for adult dog food and asked that donations be purchased or dropped off at either Pet Valu Southdale or Pet Valu Kenaston. We also said that food could be purchased over the phone with a credit card.
We are sorry but just found out that Pet Valu stores no longer accept credit card numbers over the phone. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to our generous supporters that called the stores and to the staff and management in the stores!
We are still in need of more food donations and if you can help, please go directly to either of these two great stores to help with a donation of dry adult dog food. Thanks to those that have donated food already!
Our wonderful dogs and pups thank you!

A happy post to put a smile on your faces! This is TEAM P.A.W. (Peyton, Ace and Winner) and they all have such a great relationship! Both Winner (previously Winnie Bear - adopted 3 years ago) and Ace (previously Sinai - adopted almost 4 months ago) are MASR alumni and Peyton the cat is their forever "brother". We loved the photos so much that we felt we had to share with everyone. Enjoy!

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.

INTRODUCING RIVER |
Gorgeous River is a male Shepherd cross pup, approximately 4 months old. We estimate his date of birth as October 24th, 2017. River came into our care from a rural community after being found as a stray. He is settling in well to his new safe life with a loving foster family. River is not yet available for adoption but should be soon. More photos and information shortly.
TASER UPDATE:
Our gorgeous Taser is now looking for his forever family! He is available for adoption to the right home, where he will have the training and exercise he requires. Taser has not been accustomed to rules and/or boundaries in his short life and had rebelled against the crate and the leash. But he has made remarkable progress in the 2+ weeks we have had him!
Taser is a wonderful young male Shepherd cross with so much to offer the right family! (We have estimated his age as 9 months old.) He is happy and outgoing. Loves absolutely everyone he meets including other dogs. He is very bright and eager to learn new things. He loves going for walks where there is so much to see and always the possibility of meeting new friends.
Taser requires a home with experience in training and understanding of a strong willed challenging young dog. If you feel you can provide this type of home, please email our adoption coordinator at: adopt@masrescue.com and she will put you in touch with Taser's foster family for more information and/or to arrange a meeting.
Here is what Taser's foster mom has to say about him:
"Taser is an energetic smart young boy. Determined to have his own way and not live life with rules.
Over the past couple weeks he has gotten better at listening. He knows sit, down, leave it. Getting better at wait, off, and no.
Used to mouth forcefully to get his own way or to demonstrate his frustration, but we've seen progress in these couple weeks. Doesn't mouth as frequently but still gets in his flighty mood of not wanting to listen.
Didn't like having a leash or collar on but has gotten a lot better at wearing them.
Hated the crate and would hurt himself attempting to break out. He's now able to be crated for hours at a time (secured in a plastic crate), he will still voice his dislike but later settles down. Night time crating in a wire crate was an issue but until recently he has settled himself down to go to sleep.
Loves chewing on antlers, loves playing with the dogs, loves treats.
Taser is a dog that loves to work for his food, whether it's obedience, puzzles or brain games, he's happy to do something and get his reward.
Taser is happy just to meet anything and anybody, super friendly dog. Likes to be around people and animals.
Loves to sit and watch birds, squirrels,and even the planes fly over head.
He's fully house trained.
He will chew anything he finds out of boredom so a job and plenty of physical and mental stimulation is required.
Will benefit from a confident strong leader.
Taser shouldn't be left to make his own choices."

Thank you to Mary, Paul & Roberta and Darcy & Laura for their recent donations to MASR of large crates! Very much appreciated...
HUGE thank you to the three Pet Valu stores that invited MASR to attend this weekend. Our volunteers, our fosters and their dogs were treated wonderfully by the management & staff at all three stores and our rescue received lots of exposure and interest in our dogs & puppies!
Thank you to all of our volunteers that helped, thank you to all the fosters who brought their dogs, and thank you to our amazing bakers. Thanks also to all who came out and supported our efforts.
Thanks again everyone!

Some candid photographs from our four events this weekend. Special thanks to Pet Valu Marion and to Pet Valu Selkirk for inviting us to attend on Saturday!
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!
