We hosted nearly 20 classes of students from all over Toronto. We saw so many bright young faces stop by to work their reading magic on some of our shy shelter animals\, all while learning about animal welfare\, pet behaviour and communication. \n Now that we’re in 2019\, we have a whole new gang of listeners who can’t wait for story time! \n \n Reading Buddies is a great experience for both students and pets: students get to practice their reading skills in-front of the furriest\, friendliest\, and most non-judgemental audience ever; at the same time\, our shelter animals get that much needed company and socialization which\, in the end\, helps them get adopted. \n \n If you are a teacher with a class of animal lovers who are interested in being Reading Buddies\, please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)/*’\,’a’\,’/’\,”\,'”‘\,’ 109′\,’ 111′\,’ 99′\,’ 46′\,’ 121′\,’ 116′\,’ 101′\,’ 105′\,’ 99′\,’ 111′\,’ 115′\,’ 101′\,’ 110′\,’ 97′\,’ 109′\,’ 117′\,’ 104′\,’ 111′\,’ 116′\,’ 110′\,’ 111′\,’ 114′\,’ 111′\,’ 116′\,’ 64′\,’ 110′\,’ 111′\,’ 105′\,’ 116′\,’ 97′\,’ 99′\,’ 117′\,’ 100′\,’ 101′\,’:’\,’o’\,’t’\,’l’\,’i’\,’a’\,’m’\,'”‘\,’=’\,’f’\,’e’\,’r’\,’h’\,’a ‘\,’= 0)out += unescape(l[i].replace(/^ss*/\, ‘&#’));while (–j >= 0)if (el[j].getAttribute(‘data-eeEncEmail_jgdgojudZO’))el[j].innerHTML = out;/*]]>*/.

After strolling through an undecided December\, it looks like winter’s finally blowing its way in. As we bundle up\, shovel our way to cars that won’t turn over\, and dream more and more of the sunny days of summer\, many of us are already scouring Expedia for some last minute flight deals. \n For pet parents\, air travel can be quite an ordeal. Where is your pet being kept? For how long? What did the vet say again? Is the house even locked?! Deep breath. If you plan ahead and ask questions\, it won’t be nearly as bad as you might think. Here are some quick tips for both the experienced flyer and the first timer. \n \n Doctor’s orders \n Make a visit to the veterinarian to update all vaccinations and grab any legal documents you’ll need. It’s also important to note that pets very young and very old\, pregnant\, ill\, or injured should not be flying anywhere. \n \n Keep calm and carry on \n Head out to purchase a good quality travel carrier for your pet. Make sure it’s large enough for them to stand up and turn around in. You’ll also want to ask your airline about size allowances and any kind of special requirements. \n \n Baby steps \n Instead of surprising your pet with a new carrier the night before your flight\, it’s best you introduce them to it gradually\, several weeks before your flight. By becoming adjusted to their carrier well before the flight\, they’ll cope better the travel. Pro tip: start by leaving the carrier door open and placing treats\, meals or toys inside! \n \n Training day \n Provide your pet with some exercise before leaving for the airport; give them a light meal three to four hours before take-off; and give them water right up to the time of travel. It’s also a good idea to take your pet for a walk and quick bathroom break shortly before boarding (ask your airline ahead of time if this is allowed). \n \n For more information on safe air travel for pets\, check out what the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association has to say.

Add a few of these resolutions to your list for this year and your companion will thank you for it. \n Extracritticular activities \n Try out a new activity with your pet. For the homebody pet and pet parent\, there are interactive feeders\, obstacle courses\, tunnels\, and a whole lot more for those rainy days indoors. For the outdoorsy pets\, head over to a nearby park or even check out some trails in the city! \n \n Brush up on it \n Grooming your buddy on a daily basis has a ton of benefits beyond looking their best. Brushing lets you check for fleas and flea dirt and even catch the early signs of some health problems. It also spreads natural oils throughout your pet’s hair\, keeping it dirt and irritant free. It’s also a great way for you and your pet to bond on a regular basis. \n \n Trick and treat \n Training and socialization are great ways to bond with your pet while also keeping their brain active and healthy. We now offer a variety of dog training classes and puppy socialization classes every weekend for you and your best friend. Sign up here and join our highly skilled team in a constructive\, supportive environment where you and your pet can start 2019 off on the right paw!

DESCRIPTION:According to Amazon Canada\, it’s the citizens of London\, not Toronto\, like to pamper their pets the most. They were the ones filling up their digital shopping carts with all sorts of pet supplies\, “out-pampering” us like it was no big deal. \n This was Amazon Canada’s sixth annual list of the top 20 cities in Canada that pamper their pets the most. \n \n Now\, 19th out of 20 is pretty bad. But you don’t need to shop online to pamper your pet. Especially since you can pamper your pet right here at our pet store! \n \n Whether you’re looking for every the feline favourite Da Bird toy\, the canine craze KONG chews\, or just some tasty (and healthy!) pet food\, we have everything your pet would ever need right here at Toronto Humane Society. \n \n What’s more\, every dollar you spend in our store goes back towards providing the animals in our care the care they need. You can save an animal’s life by shopping for yours. \n \n Come visit us at 11 River Street and starting pampering your pet! We’re open Monday-Friday from 11am to 7pm\, Saturday-Sunday from 10am to 6pm.

DESCRIPTION:Thanks to our many partnerships and alliances with animal rescue organizations across Canada and around the world\, our Rescue Transport Program has helped rehome thousands of homeless animals around the world. \n 2019 is already off to a great start! With the help of the Guelph Humane Society and the North Bay Humane Society\, we have changed the lives of 75 cats living in Northern Ontario. \n \n Four different rescues groups and animal shelters coordinated the drop off to our friends in North Bay. From there\, the North Bay Humane Society made the trip down to us where we and some of our friends at the Guelph Humane were waiting excitedly with open arms. 37 of the cats remained with us\, 38 went to Guelph! \n \n Janet Bredin from North Bay Humane Society was thrilled to have taken part in the transfer\, remarking that the assistance we’ve provided smaller organizations “can hardly be expressed in words.” And according to Samantha Westphal from Guelph Humane Society\, they were thrilled to have been involved\, telling us everything went smoothly on their end! \n \n This transfer is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished when we work together\, 75 cats whose outcomes were uncertain now have the opportunity to find their forever homes here in Southern Ontario. Stay tuned as many of these little guys will be looking for their forever homes in the coming months! \n \n A huge thank-you goes out to all the staff and volunteers in Guelph\, North Bay\, and neighboring areas for helping to save these lives.

He was coughing one minute\, gagging the next. He was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open. \n We performed an examination and could feel a sharp\, solid object protruding from the right side of his neck region. We brought out the x-ray equipment and performed two skull radiographs. This is what we saw: \n Lodged deep inside of his neck\, just to the right of his trachea\, was a sewing needle. We knew we had to act fast. After a brief discussion\, Bandicoot was rushed to an emergency hospital where the needle (and any remaining string) would be carefully removed by a team of surgeons. \n \n The procedure was a complete success! Bandicoot was needle free and already improving. He’s now at home with a loving family\, getting back to his cuddly ways. \n \n We were lucky to have the resources and personnel ready for the emergency consultation and surgery\, all of which cost a significant amount. That’s not even including the transportation costs\, daily medication and day-to-day care. \n \n Without the continued generosity of our donors\, animals like Bandicoot would likely not survive their struggles. Thank you so much for reading and for continuing to support Toronto Humane Society.
