We’re facing a wave of urgent cases, and we’re doing everything we can to prioritize each one. Right now, it’s a mom and her five eight-month-old puppies, all suffering from porcupine quills. Quills are among the most common and life threatening injuries a dog can endure; they can migrate, cause severe infections, and prevent eating or drinking. If not treated promptly, dehydration and starvation become real risks. It has taken two long trips (about two hours each way) to safely trap five of them, with a third capture needed for the last. The first two dogs have already been treated and are resting, three more are en route for care, and the sixth is being planned. Plus add another bottle baby to the mix. ♥️Donate: give.scarscare.ca/give ‼️Chase the Ace: rafflebox.ca/raffle/scars-ct… 👋Join our Event - Tails on the Trails: scarscare.ca/all-events/tott… 😊 Become a Foster by emailing us at FosterProgram@scarscare.ca

Did you know it’s National Volunteer Week? And at SCARS, we’re taking the time to shine a light on the incredible people behind everything we do. First up… our foster homes ❤️ They are truly the heart of our rescue. They open their homes and their lives to animals who need a safe place to land. They drive to vet appointments, show up to meet & greets, pick up food and supplies, attend events, and most importantly… they pour love, patience, and stability into every animal in their care. They take the scared, the sick, the overlooked—and help them become ready for their forever homes. None of this happens without them. To every foster who has said “yes,” rearranged their life, cleaned up messes, lost sleep, and fallen in love over and over again… Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, and on behalf of every animal whose life you’ve changed—you are everything. 🐾❤️ (Next up… lots more volunteer loving 🥹🥹🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️) To foster email us at fosterprogram@scarscare.ca

To Melania Trump on her FosterProgram. How about working on preventing children from having to enter Foster Care. Fix the problem. In 4 years, our country could eliminate welfare, stop child neglect and abuse, and force single moms to get an education, training, and jobs. At the same time, keeping children safe from hunger and abuse. Giving them an environment conducive to learning and having structure. No more welfare. No more boyfriends living with their moms. No more drugs. No more childhood diabetes. Only healthy kids with a future. Read my book. WALLFARE. Margaret Aune. Amazon books. Until you fix the cause, you will never end the need for fostering.

Alberta animal rescues are facing an unprecedented crisis. We're seeing a surge in the number of cats and kittens arriving at our doors, pushing our resources to the absolute limit. This isn't just a busy season; it's a full-blown emergency. ❤️Mama & Her Magnificent Seven: A recent arrival is a mother cat with seven adorable kittens, all requiring constant attention and feeding. 🙈Another Mom & Three: And another mother cat with three kittens arrived 2 days ago. 🙈The Unending Stream: Sadly, these are just two examples of the many cats and kittens arriving daily.

We're facing yet again, another serious emergency at our Morinville Rescue Centre. Just when we thought we'd seen it all, a volunteers friend discovered two boxes of 13 cats and kittens abandoned on an acreage. How does this happen? Why does this happen? When will these type of calls end? These animals are now in our care, but we're already at capacity with our Morinville facility currently dealing with an upper respiratory outbreak, leaving us with extremely limited options. We're desperate for solutions. We need your help. How You Can Help? ❤️Foster: Providing temporary homes is the most immediate and impactful way to assist. Opening your heart and home to even one cat or kitten can make a life-saving difference. ❤️Spread the word: Share this message with your network and encourage others to get involved. ❤️Adopting makes space for the ones waiting at ScarsCare.ca ❤️SPAY & NEUTER YOUR PETS! Tell your family to spay and neuter their pets! This demand and amount of requests per day, needs to end.

Please keep Wesley in your thoughts as he recovers from a particularly nasty case of mange. He's a sweet boy who deserves all the love and care in the world. And hey… he needs a foster home too! If you're in a position to offer Wesley a foster home while he recovers, please reach out to fosterprogram@ScarsCare.ca Your support can make a huge difference in his life. Mange is tough on dogs. Early detection, proper veterinary care, and community support can make all the difference. Thank you for caring!

Blizzard and Family! What a difference a few days makes! What a difference a loving foster mom makes! What a difference healthy food, clean water, and a warm, safe house make! What a difference SCARS supporters make! You really are life savers. Blizzard here, and I know it is early days, but I am filled with hope. My family is very large, but I have this amazing foster mom, who seems to have all the answers to all my needs. I literally just gaze at her with adoring eyes sometimes. On top of my poor condition and huge family to care for, it appears I am also deaf. Not that it will affect my quality of life, I just communicate in my own special way. Please keep me in your thoughts. The road ahead is long to grow my sweet babes to adoption age, but the SCARS team is on our side for sure. If you can please: Adopt ScarsCare.ca Donate give.scarscare.ca/give Foster email us at fosterprogram@scarscare.ca Sponsor adopt.scarscare.ca/sponsor-r… Volunteer email us at volunteers@scarscare.ca Share. Spread the word. Adopt don’t shop. Everything makes a difference. A life changing difference.

It has been a flurry of activity. I can barely catch my breath as the winds of change blow through. SCARS runs spay neuter programs in several remote communities that have no veterinary care. The day before our team headed out, a community member called in, pleading for help for one more. One had been found and needed assistance in the worst way. That was me, Blizzard, and SCARS came not a moment too soon. Not much is known about my back story, but my condition speaks for itself. Things have clearly not been easy. SCARS knows that when an animal is found in distress, often there is a human struggling as well and always hope they too find support, just as I have. Caring, dedicated, comforting volunteers carefully loaded me into a SCARS truck. This team would drive 500 kilometers that day, bringing me to the loving arms of my foster mom. I arrived, breathed a sigh of relief, and a very few hours later, a snowstorm of tiny white babies made their appearance. One after another, after another. Ten new souls, my sweet, sweet babes. Ten lives that have a chance at life. Without SCARS, they likely would have perished - no home, no food, and an emaciated mother. There would have been little hope. All that changed because of people like you. Please support SCARS. Each and every day, they change the world for the better. If you can: Donate - funds are low right now.

Our rescue centers are currently facing a critical situation. We are experiencing unprecedented levels of intake for cats, dogs, kittens, & puppies. The number of animals in our care has reached a point where we are struggling to provide adequate space for the constant requests. We get numerous requests daily to take in more animals and surrenders. Individuals reach out to us constantly, hoping we can offer a safe haven for abandoned, neglected, or surrendered pets. Unfortunately, with our current space constraints, we are finding it increasingly difficult to accept new animals. This means more animals remain in potentially dangerous or unsuitable situations. ❤️ How You Can Help ❤️ We urgently need your help to create space and provide care for these vulnerable animals. Here are several ways you can make a difference: 🥹Adopt: Consider opening your heart and home to a deserving cat, dog, kitten, or puppy. Adoption provides a permanent, loving family for an animal in need and frees up space at our centers. ScarsCare.ca 🥹Foster: If you are unable to commit to adoption, fostering is a wonderful way to provide temporary care and socialization to an animal. Fostering helps animals adjust to living in a home and prepares them for adoption. Email us at fosterprogram@scarscare.ca to get started Donate: Your financial contributions enable us to provide food, medical care, shelter, and enrichment activities for the animals in our care. Every dollar makes a difference in improving their well-being. give.scarscare.ca/give Volunteer: Dedicate your time and skills to directly assist with animal care. Your hands-on support is invaluable to our operations. Email us at volunteers@scarscare.ca Spay/Neuter: Promote responsible pet ownership by advocating for spaying and neutering. This helps reduce the number of unwanted animals and prevents future overcrowding at shelters. Every action, big or small, contributes to improving the lives of these animals. Please join us in our mission to provide them with the love, care, and forever homes they deserve. ❤️❤️
