Blue...A Rescue & Adoption Story To Remember 💗

This dog used to hang around a persons home when he could get loose and the family would feed him and take him in whenever he was around. For days they hadn't seen him and would go out calling for him but he was nowhere to be found.

Continuing to call out for 'Blue', after a while of walking around their property they could hear a faint whimper. Following the sound, there he was in the snow and looked as if he was trying to crawl to their home. 

Arrival at the HVGB SPCA in Labrador

He was brought to the Volunteers at the Happy Valley Goose Bay SPCA in Labrador right away and taken to the vet immediately. He was in hard shape and upon examination the vet had counted over 16 puncture wounds all over his body. 

Factoring in the spacing of the puncture wounds it was thought the weapon used to assault him was likely a BBQ fork. There was also a cut in his neck that was suspected to have been inflicted by wire. it is likely that these injuries were inflicted while he was tied up. 

 Injuries sustained 

While in Foster Care after approximately 2 months most of his injuries had healed except the cuts down around his private area which had abscessed and took longer to heal.

Even though he was going through all of this and was in so much agony, he never once growled. He only offered complete love and affection. I Don't know how many tears were shed over Blue but now he is happy and has the most wonderful loving life with an adoring Family in Nova Scotia.

My Perspective: In my life I never imagined the desperate state of the Animals which I have seen in Labrador Canada. If it were not for the selfless volunteers at the Happy Valley Goose Bay SPCA in Labrador the population of stray, abused, abandoned & neglected animals would be even more of an overwhelming concern than it is today in 2012.

Having adopted three beautiful rescue pups over the past three years & offering the little financial & social media help that I do I have never been more inspired or motivated to help anyone or any animal organization.

Who Is The HVGB SPCA? Happy Valley Goose Bay SPCA is a non-profit animal care facility completely run by volunteers.

We service ALL of Labrador and offer the following:

We operate a shelter for animals that are lost, abandoned or given up for adoption
We investigate cases of animal abuse or neglect and all complaint calls received by the shelter
We deliver notices to owners who allow their pets to remain outside in extreme weather conditions (hot & cold)
We find suitable and loving homes for unwanted animals
We issue pet I.D. tags and micro chipping for all animals adopted from shelter
We keep computerized records of all adoptions, surrender of animals, etc.
We also accept lost and found animals and make every attempt to re-unite these animals with their owners

The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and Executive, with the assistance of supporters & volunteers.

The Happy Valley - Goose Bay SPCA is funded through public donations and the proceeds from fundraising events. Costs are substantial, and your help is very much appreciated.

Where is Labrador? A Northern community, Labrador (Highlited in Red) is the furthest Northern territory in Atlantic Canada. Spanning 294, 330 square Kilometers. With a population of just under 30,000 people (comparable to the town of Bedford NS) the funding & resources to support an SPCA are just not extensive enough to service the demands of an increasing animal population. Funding from Government is minimal offering the ONLY SPCA servicing all of Labrador $10,000.00 yearly. If you have one animal under your care you know that for any organization saving hundreds of stray, abused, neglected & abandoned animals this is no where near the funding required for even basic care such as food.

The Current HVGB SPCA:
An SPCA initially constructed out of used building materials Happy Valley Goose Bay SPCA is in desperate need of a new Building. Having very little space for the daily intake of pups, cats & dogs they rely on the Fostering community in Labrador. With a population of just under 30,000 people coverring a vast territory multiple animals are fostered by caring homes at any given time to help as many animals as possible.br />

Northern communities such as Labrador are frigid & can push past -40 degree temperatures during the Winter months. This makes for an even more desperate situation trying to find enough Foster homes to place animals especially those suffering injury who require medical care. The HVGB SPCA has provided care for an incredible amount of animals, some with frostbite, others with severe malnutritin, those suffering traumatic physical abuse & all without the daily access to any veterinarian care.
