Dear Animal Lovers, Advocates, Rescuers & Activists:
Happy feast of St. Francis! I love October 4th. Every year, it's just a special, special day. Time to be grateful for our rescue colleagues; time to take stock of all the good we've collectively done for animals; time to renew our faith in our efforts for animals; time to be grateful for all the things we can do, as opposed to all the things we cannot. Each week of every year, we pull off miracles for the voiceless. Take a moment to let your heart expand. Think of all those smiley faces. Those near misses. Those coincidental happenings that brought an animal in need to YOU. Think of their first night home, first night in foster, first night in the safety of caregivers who understand and are willing to meet their needs.
Amen folks. Happy world animal day to each and every one of you.

Get a button. Talk to family / friends. Get out and vote. Help others get out and vote. Canada's animals need YOU.
Why is C4P delving into election issues? Here's three great examples of how our existing government has ignored or harmed animals:
Canada opts not to block international trade in 76 endangered species:
Stephen Harper targets HUNTERS in new environmental promise:
Canada sidesteps protection of endangered fish:
... not to mention Harper's second in command pose with a picture of a bloodied, dead seal on the first day of the seal hunt ...
And the threat to our waters -- which our animals need to survive:

ANIMALS & RESCUERS IN NEED

Hi, my name is Chase! My name should tell you a lot about me! I love to run! (did I mention I love to run????) In the short time I have been with my foster family, I have managed to wiggle my way into their hearts. They say I am the best greeter they have ever known, and they look forward to the howls that greet them when they arrive! They also say I have the cutest tail they have ever seen, and it never stops wagging! Im super friendly, snuggly and vocal and on of my favourite things to do is fall asleep with my foster family at night in their bed. I would do best in a home where I am not alone for long periods of time, and where there is a bit of past hound experience (or willingness to learn). Lastly, while I do like to relax at home and lounge around, I need a place where I will get tons of exercise. I have lots of energy! In exchange, I offer you tons of love, hugs, adventures and a face that will melt your heart. I've been trying to find a home for a while now, so please contact allcreaturesrescue@outlook.com for more information.

The vet who shot the cat with an arrow gets her licence denied -- remember, she'll appeal, so it isn't over yet, but good initial decision:
Rats rock. Before I'm done, I'm gonna get me a rat (or two)...
