Copper Kettle does not like the heat but enjoys the shade and the comfort of the couch. Copper has had his vetting and it turns out he has a bad heart with a grade 4 heart murmur. He also limps badly on his front leg and we are thinking it is a torn ligament. He […]
Melvin is a Big on Beagles dog who is permanently staying at Sheba’s Haven. A re-cap on our marvelous but somewhat misunderstood Melvin: Melvin came to us from Toronto Animal Services back in the spring. A sweet dog with a flawed future. Approximately 10-12 years old, Melvin had been sporting a large tumour on his […]
Stella was brought to the Haven on November 15, 2015 by another rescue Bow
Wow Acres. They found her wandering a country road. She was one big matt and
more fleas than you can imagine. They brought her to the Haven as she had a
grade 4 heart murmur. It has now been upgraded to a 5. Stella aka Miss
Attitudinal is about 10 years old. She is the apple of her daddy’s eye and
will sleep on his lap while at the computer or watching TV. She lets the
other dogs know when they are in her ‘space’ and they have learnt to respect
that. Stella will also let you know when you are taking too long to get her
meals ready.
Kya who came into the Haven on December 7, 2015.
She was a stray from the North Bay area. Kya is approximately 12 years old and has osteosarcoma. She likes to play ball but has not learnt to give the ball back yet. She will walk into the house with it still in her mouth and not give it up until a good time has passed. She loves running around the yard with the other dogs, greeting visitors and getting cuddles.
Prince came into the Haven on October 23, 2015 from the Oakville and District Humane Society.
Prince is a 16 year old Shih Tzu who is blind and deaf. This has not stopped him from figuring out our home and yard. He manages the stairs to the yard very well and will find them most of the time when he wants back in. He is a happy little dog who will bark along with the other dogs and wag his tail.
Yoyo came into the Haven on October 23, 2015 from the Oakville and District Humane Society as a stray.
Yoyo is approximately 3 years old. He has a neurological and/or orthopedic disease. He has to wear corrective/supportive braces on his back legs to help him walk. He also has to be bandaged and wear Muttluks on his front feet. Eventually the front legs may also need braces. Yoyo has to be bandaged and braced every morning. At night, everything comes off and he sleeps in a playpen. He is quite use to this routine and just lies on the table. Yoyo is in good spirits and a very busy dog. He loves to play and run. Yoyo will have to make trips to Toronto several times a year for repairs to his braces and check-ups with the neurologists/surgeon.
Enoch came into the Haven on October 31, 2015 from Brampton Animal
Services where he was a stray. He is estimated to be about 10 years old. Like a lot of these tiny dogs, he needed dental work. it appeared that he had had so many mouth infections that it caused a fracture on his lower jaw. There was also a problem on his upper where the teeth were ‘communicating’ with the nasal cavity, which when pulling these teeth, the area may not heal. Enoch did have to have surgery on one side of his mouth for the oronasal fistula. This was completed by Dr French in Toronto at the VEC on Thursday February 18th. Enoch is very affectionate; he loves anyone who sits on the couch. He gets really excited around meal times barking and biting toes (gumming) 🙂
The Haven was contacted by a social worker of the owner of Baby Girl who could no longer take care of her properly. She came into the Haven but went directly into foster care on 28Sept15. Baby Girl is called a Tartan Terrier because she is a Scottie Westie mix. Baby Girl is a diabetic and going blind. Baby Girl is now living at the Haven and doing very well. She likes to play with some of the dogs but is a terrier so can get a bit dominate around her food bowl. Other than that she is a loving girl who looks forward to her walks. Baby Girl is available for adoption to an experience person who likes to walk and does not mind giving 2 insulin needles every day.
