Meet Little Willy! Willy is one on the many pets that
have been fortunate enough to be rescued by the Valley Animal Rescue in Renfrew County, Ontario.
Willy, like so many other dogs and cats being fostered through this organization, is
in need of a loving forever home with caring and patient people who can tend to his needs.
Valley Animal Rescue- or VAR- is a registered charity
organization that relies solely on foster parents for the animals they take in.
They run off of the donations and support of their community and local animal
lovers. But unlike some of the other wider known animal shelters or rescue
organizations that have more funding, VAR has to do quite a bit of the legwork. VAR has a network of community members who put in time for these animals without any pay- just the reward of giving a helping hand and a temporary home. Since it’s a foster run charity 100% of all donations go to the
animals.

Pet of the Month July 2013: Baby and her pet parent have a special bond

Meet Bracken- or Baby as she is lovingly referred to.
Baby may be small for a Bernese mountain dog but her heart is ten times her
size. Despite all odds and regardless of what the world throws at them, Baby
and her pet parent Jessy enjoy life together with a positive outlook and a
whole lot of ‘puppy’ love.
Baby has a rough start to her life. When Baby was adopted
from her breeder she had the Parvo virus, which can be deadly for dogs-
especially puppies. Baby spent a lot of time in the veterinary hospital trying
to recover so she could be in her forever home. It took a lot of time and a lot
more love from her family to get Baby to where she is today.
