Clumping Cat Litter still desperately needed!!(Jan. 26, 2010) GBAR's usual supplier of complimentary litter is unable to provide this necessity for 400 cats in care!! AND there are NO funds to purchase the needed clumping cat litter because of extraordinarily high outstanding vet bills.This is an "URGENT SITUATION" since clean litter is needed to provide a healthy environment for the cats. An appeal is being made to the public to donate clumping cat litter, or mail in financial donations which will be used to purchase cat litter. If you are able to donate cat litter, please drop it off at Bellbrae Animal Hospital, on County Rd. 124; or at Pet Valu, Wasaga Beach; or at special shopping cart set up at Metro(A & P) Food Store, Collingwood. Donations by cheque can be mailed to GBAR, P.O. Box 492, Collingwood, ON L9Y 4B2, or click the CanadaHelps button below to donate Online. Click 'Operational Funds' for your donation and indicate 'Cat Litter Appeal' in the Remarks section.   On behalf of the animals, THANK YOU!! | Missy's story will break your heart.... Missy's story will break your heart.... Missy came into our care after a concerned citizen noticed that she was having some discomfort with her back paw. After being brought to a vet for an examination, it was discovered that Missy had been shot with a pellet gun and the bullet had lodged itself into her spine between her vertebrae. This resulted in intermittent nerve damage to her back leg which is why it appeared as though she could not step with it normally at times. According to the veterinarian who examined Missy, it was suspected that the bullet had been in her spine for quite some time as it had completely healed over and it was recommended that it would be safer to leave the bullet in her spine rather than risk possible full paralysis if the bullet were to be removed. In no way does this condition restrict her mobility or ability to jump, walk or run like the other cats in the facility with her. She just occasionally loses use of her back leg temporarily. At the present time, Missy is in one of our satellite facilities and is progressing extremely well. She has turned into quite the little "love-bug" and her favourite thing to do is to get "head rubs" from the volunteers who care for her. |

VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED! 
If you, or anyone you know, have 2 - 3 hours per week (minimum) to assist in cat care, by dispensing food, providing fresh water, cleaning litter pans, cleaning beds/linens/sleeping areas for the cats, AND providing much needed TLC (Tender Loving Care) to the many homeless, needy animals in these shelters, especially the young kittens, it would be so greatly appreciated by GBAR and the animals.
Training is provided, and hours are flexible. If you are able to help, please call GBAR's phone line at (705) 445-5204 and leave a message, with your day and nighttime contact information. An Animal Care Volunteer will contact you within 24 hours. |
Meet Tasha!
 Tasha was born May 22, 2008. She weighs about 45 lbs. and is about 24 inches off the ground. She is a Boston terrier/Boxer mix. Tasha is very smart and knows some basic commands such as "sit", "lay down" and "give a paw", especially for an almond as a treat. She is house trained but occasionally has an accident if she is really excited, for instance when someone comes in the front door(this can easily be fixed). When it comes to other dogs, she loves them - especially bigger dogs. She will play submissive with them, but lives to chase them around. Tasha is not that good with cats, she thinks they are her personal play toys, not in a mean way just too playful for the size difference. She has been around children (7 and 10 years old) but is not good with children who are too young. She loves things that are soft in her mouth, socks, gloves and hats. She thinks it’s a game to steal them and hide. One of her favorite pastimes is chasing snowballs. She will do this until your arm falls off. She also loves to have her belly rubbed and will lay there waiting for you. She has been crate trained and would benefit from some basic obedience training as well as with a family that has another dog for company or with someone who can spend a lot of time with her. Her current family does not have the time to spend with her and as a result she is in her crate too often. Can you open up your heart to this little darling? Please call GBAR at (705) 445-5204.

Please help us help the animals by making a financial contribution towards the every day costs that we incur because the animals depend on your generosity.
