What we do is collect from people, or restaurants [empties] cash in to buy food, help with vetting costs for Vanier Street Cats and Adopt Me Cat Rescue. I upcycle old quilts, blankets, towels, etc into pet beds/pads, fashion toys out of microfleece fabric for tugg toys, make cat toys, rice blankets [warm up like a bean bag] for smaller pets to lay on for warmth. In turn I also make up “pet packages” for SafePet Ottawa – they foster pets for people fleeing domestic abuse – and shelters do not take pets – the pet packages are made for dogs and cats – and contain when possible: a washable bed I have made, two bowls, collar and leash, stuffy toy to love, ball for dog, cat nip toy for cat, wet and dry food, cat litter and sometimes an animal carrier. This becomes the pet’s own stuff – so when they can go back to their family – and nothing looks or smells the same – they have THEIR stuff for comfort!
 
We also work closely with Pet Resource Bank – the 4 groups of us – PRB, Empties, Vanier and Adopt Me all support each other and work together!

DRY SKIN OF WINTER

Dogs are no different then us, in the winter they to get dry itch flaky skin.
A few tips to help prevent dry skin

Plenty of water drinking lots of want help to keep your dog hydrated.
When your dog is well hydrated it means his skin has more elasticity.

Use a humidifier in the home to put more moisture in the air so its not so dry.
Bath your dog less in the winter months, but if you do bath them, dry completely.

Grooming your dogs coat, brushing will stimulate blood circulation which will improve the condition
of your dogs coat and skin.
