Bowen to the rescue!

Late last December, the call went out: a dog rescue group in northern Alberta was desperate for foster homes for pregnant dogs being rescued from a reserve, where they were living outdoors in Arctic temperatures.

Late last December, the call went out: a dog rescue group in northern Alberta was desperate for foster homes for pregnant dogs being rescued from a reserve, where they were living outdoors in Arctic temperatures. The pups would surely die if care could not be arranged.

The rescue group, Rescue for Life, contacted CAWES on Bowen, and the emails flew. After heroic measures by many, transport was arranged and Jessie arrived on Bowen.

Pam Cleary of Best Friends Dog Training had offered to take her in and keep her and her pups until the pups could be placed in homes. On the evening of March 4, Jessie presented Pam with 10 healthy puppies. There are six boys and four girls, in an astonishing range of colours.

Some adopters have been approved already, but there is still a selection available. Anyone interested in a puppy can contact Iris Carr (CAWES, 947 0032) for adoption information and to arrange a viewing of the pups.
