We want to introduce you to our friend Lola. She was brought into our care on Nov 6th after poorly healing from a car accident and needing more medical care than her family could provide for her. This sweet and loving girl is not weight bearing and is obviously painful on her left hind leg, she is also dealing with a bacterial skin infection that is causing her to itch and loose hair over her hip and one ear. Her foster family took her to the team at Orchard Veterinary Care who were able to prescribe the necessary items to make her skin feel better, yay for antibiotics and medicated shampoos even if she is a large dog to get in and out of a tub 3 times a week (thank you to our constant supporter Pet Planet Primrose for giving her time to be bathed in their tubs!), and they think she may have a luxating hip. We are now waiting for Lola’s next appointment where there will be x-rays done to see what the prognosis is for her. We are hoping that she will have a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) where the head of her femur will be cut off allowing scar tissue to form around the joint to keep the femur in place. Update: Lola has had her FHO on November 21st. Due to suffering from 2 vehicle hits that resulted in a significant hip injury that did heal properly, the damage was great and this made the surgery significantly harder. She is back at her foster home recovering and not loving having limited access to the house due to stairs but she is moving around and using the limb a little. She will start her rehabilitation physiotherapy at Bridge City Veterinary Rehabilitation next week to promote the healing and build up of muscle and scar tissue to ensure she can continue to keep and better use her leg. We are so thankful to the dedicated vets and their teams that work tirelessly to help dogs like Lola. Update: Lola started her physiotherapy at Bridge City Veterinary Rehabilitation the week after her surgery. 4 sessions over 2 weeks and she made surprisingly good progress. She is now going to the clinic once a week and enjoying laser therapy as well as time on the water treadmill. The treadmill is helping her to relearn a smooth walk and she definitely is working on it, a preference for a slightly higher pace it seems, the laser therapy helps to break up the scar tissue to allow her leg and hip a better range of motion. While it is not always smooth sailing and she sometimes goes back a bit she continues to find her way forward. She continues to be slightly underweight and her foster family is encouraging her to eat and gain what she needs. Update: What a difference the last 3 months have made for this gal. Lola has made great progress since her surgery and has been cleared for adoption. Her potential adopters need to know that Lola is 100% lovebug that should not be run too hard or over exercised and will need to continue her rehabilitation program after adoption, including bi-weekly appointments at Bridge City Veterinary Rehabilitation until they give her the clear. It is expected that she will not be fully healed from her injuries and surgery for another 6-12 months. Please see adoptable dogs to learn more about Lola’s personality or apply to meet her today! We cannot thank everyone who have been a part of her journey enough, without your support she would not be where she is today! Update: We are so happy to share that Lola has found her people and was able to move to her forever home today. We are forever grateful for her home of origin, the front line rescuers, her fosters, and the clinics that stepped came together for this moment. We know that there were tears of gratitude, joy, and sadness today, Lola graduated and is going to continue to know a life filled with love.

On Feb 7th New Hope was contacted by our partners with Canine Action Project about a small breed dog and another young dog that were not going to be allowed in the home, out of the cold. In the photo sent to us it was hard to even see little Bingo, she was huddled up just as much as she could to stay warm with the larger pup. Thankfully we had 2 foster homes offer to take each of the dogs. The younger one appears to be healthy, but little Bingo would not have lasted much longer. The foster took her to see the wonderful team at Orchard Veterinary Care within 12 hours of arriving. Bingo weighed in at 2.8kg, her ideal weight is 6kg. She is on slow feed program where her foster home measures out her food for each day and slowly increases the amount of calories she gets over the next 14 days until she is getting 160% of her recommended resting energy intake. She needs to be weighed daily to ensure that she is gaining weight and seen by her veterinary team in 2 weeks to reassess. The good news, her organs are still functioning, just needing the time to become accustomed to having food readily available. Her foster home writes that Bingo is the sweetest, most resilient dog. She loves any attention she gets. She loves to be held and give kisses. She gets along great with the dogs she’s met and even enjoys cuddling with the other dogs. Although she is severely emaciated she likes food but is still respectful and not food aggressive. Despite everything she’s so sweet and just wants to be your friend. Her foster is also trying to keep her in her kennel to allow her body to absorb and store more of those calories otherwise she will walk around a lot and burn through the little bit that she has. We have included a photo of her food allotment for day 5. Update: Despite an upset stomach at the beginning of March that had us all concerned, little Bingo continues to be a feisty and fun loving dog. She has gained enough weight to receive her vaccines and she will soon be heavy enough to schedule her spay. Final Update: This funny and sassy little one has found her forever home! Thank you to everyone for your support of her.

Odis was found as a stray in a northern community. Canine Action Project was alerted to him being there when community members noticed the wound on his shoulder/chest area. It took a few tries to find him and there was a surprise at how sweet and apparently non-painful he was despite the wound. We asked Odis’ foster family to share about him as they have had a chance to get to know him: Odis came into my care 3 days ago and already has stole our hearts. He is an 80 pound loveable big bear. Unfortunately he came with a very deep big wound on his shoulder which will take a long time to heal and lots of visits to the vet. But he has been a champ allowing me to flush and clean wound daily with no issues and letting me clip and clean around the wound. And he loves his chewable medicine. He has a very low key temperament, loves his hugs and kisses, no reaction to our cat and small dog, and loves being brushed. I feel he was basically an outside dog as he loves to be out in back yard smelling and getting use to his new surroundings. Due to the weather and his injury I only let him out for short spurts very often every day. A bit of anxiety kicks in when he is in the house but settles down quite nicely. Has been in a kennel at night and has done very well. During the day he has free roaming of the kitchen. Today Odis went to see the vet and was bandaged up as he likes to scratch at his wound with his back leg and the position of the wound does not allow a cone to prevent that behaviour. Update: Odis had stitches placed to help close up the wound. Unfortunately the stitches popped out as he was being a silly boy so he did have to go back to have a shoelace wound closure implemented so the doctors could slowly pull the wound closed. The good news is that his wound is already 80% smaller than when he was first assessed. It now measures 6cm x 4cm. He now goes in every 2-3 days to have the “shoelace” tightened to continue to close the wound. Update: Odis has been given the all clear!! His vet team is satisfied that the wound is almost done healing, there is just a tiny bit left to heal, and he is ready to meet his forever people!! If you think that you are the people please apply to meet him. Final Update: Thanks to his dedicated care team, including the team at Orchard Veterinary Care and is loving foster home(s), sweet Odis has found his forever home!

We would like everyone to meet the sweetest girl, Marlo. This lovely lady came to us with a lot of extra weight, at her first vet visit we were informed she weighed 173lbs and needed to lose at least 50lbs. Unfortunately the extra weight has made it difficult for Marlo to move easily so she has also started to visit the wonderful team at WaterPaws where she gets to swim. Her foster home has diligently worked to slowly increase her exercises and decrease her calories in a careful manner, and we are happy to share that she has lost 11lbs in just a month and a half. We are so happy to share that sweet Marlo found her forever home with her foster home! Congratulations to Marlo and family!

Hi everyone, please welcome sweet Casper. This little boy was brought to a partner rescuer on Thursday, October 27th, with a big dog bite on his snout. Thanks to a foster home willing to give this boy the space to heal we were able to get him into Erindale Animal Hospital on Friday. His examination showed more issues than were initially suspected. The bite has broken his little jaw and he is suffering from biting lice. We are all relieved to have his parvovirus test come back negative. He has been referred to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine Dentistry department so they can best help him heal. Due to the complications with his jaw our friendly boy has remained at the hospital where he is being treated like a little king and stealing hearts in every direction. I am happy to report that he is starting to eat really soft food but remains on IV antibiotics and fluids. His foster home is looking forward to when he’s cleared to go home and heal. Update: November 5th Casper was finally able to go to his foster home after 8 nights in the care of the wonderful team at Erindale Animal Hospital. He has been fitted with a special muzzle that will continue to stabilize his jaw and allow him to lap up food and water. We are happy to see his progress and to watch his continued healing. Update: November 16th Casper was seen for a follow up because his foster mom noticed a piece of bone seemed to be sticking out near the surgical site. He needed a second surgery to remove 3 pieces of bone that measured 2.5cm in length, one of which was 1cm wide. The pieces were sent to the lab to check for further infections. Casper is a trooper though and he’s putting on weight and loving life in his foster home. He’s going to make a wonderful family dog when he is done healing. Update: December 16th Casper was given the all clear to no longer wear the muzzle that was stabilizing his jaw! He still needs to keep it easy and not chew too much but he is moving in the right direction. Update: January 3rd Casper is healing and now is concentrating on growing. His foster home and medical team are happy to report that he is ready to meet his forever family. Final Update: Casper has found a warm and loving family and home to call his own. We are so happy for all of them.

She will spend at least 30 days with them to ensure she is no longer shedding the life threatening disease. Sloan has been officially adopted August 5, 2021.

Ginny has a wound that fully encircles her neck, the embedded chain needed to be cut off with bolt cutters and the ring had to be dissected out. The wound was fully infected. Between the infection of the wound and the feces matted to her skin she smelt terrible when she came into her foster home. She is being seen for daily wound management that includes laser and hydrotherapy for a minimum of 2 weeks. Through all of the pain and uncertainty is is experiencing she is still such a sweet soul and learning to trust that there are people who love and care for her. Update: On Tuesday, Sept 5th the caring team at Orchard Veterinary Care found that it was time to close up the wound on Ginny’s neck. While she is missing hair and has a lot of stitches she is getting to heal and her foster home says that she is a complete sweetheart!

Benson arrived into New Hope’s care after we were contacted through a front line rescuer about a dog that had come in contact with a porcupine. He had been seen immediately for the quills a few days before he arrived to New Hope, but he still had some that were migrating out of his face. When Benson arrived into our care, he was taken immediately to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. He was lethargic but alert and responsive. The quills were removed from his left eye and multiple sites in his face, some of them were subcutaneous and required opening the skin and pull them out from there. He was discharged later that night and sent home to his loving foster home. Benson is extremely underweight and his foster home will watch for more migrating quills in the future weeks. Update: January 6, 2020, Benson found his forever home in the middle of January 2020 shortly after her was cleared for adoption. Please consider donating to help with Benson’s medical expenses. All donations to our Guardians of Hope Fund go directly to the medical cost of dogs like Benson each year.

When Pearl came to us on October 20, she could barely walk. Her back leg was broken, and her skin was badly injured. X-rays revealed that her tibia and fibula were shattered. Our veterinary team at Orchard Veterinary Care knew what she needed most: relief from her pain. On October 23, Pearl underwent surgery to amputate her damaged leg. As she began to recover, further X-rays showed three fractures in her pelvis. Despite everything she has endured, Pearl’s tail still wags. Her eyes still sparkle. And she is now safe in her foster home, resting and healing one day at a time. Update: Pearl is medically cleared! We are so excited to help her start on her next chapter, Forever Family Pearl is ready to meet you!

This sweet, 10 week old boy was found alone in a northern community and our foster home could not imagine leaving him out there to face the weather that is coming into Saskatchewan. We knew that his leg was sore when we were contacted but we all hoped that it was due to the cold weather, his foster home quickly realized that this was more than sensitivity to the cold and brought him in to the team at Orchard Veterinary Care where initial exam and x-rays confirmed that he had an old break in his leg that was starting to heal all wrong and a possible pelvic fracture as well. On October 20th, Timothy will be back in clinic to have further x-rays completed under sedation to better determine the care that he requires. Meanwhile he’s on a pain management regime that is allowing him to feel and act as a puppy should. His foster home reports that he is the SWEETEST puppy and you should all be excited to meet him when he’s ready! Update: Sedated x-rays were performed today and we were so relieved to learn that not only does Timothy not have a fractured pelvis, but that he has a really good range of motion while under sedation. That means we are going to send Timothy and his foster family to physical therapy at Bridge City Veterinary Rehabilitation to help him to relearn how to use his leg. He is likely to always have an odd angle on it, but he will be able to keep and use it. Update: While Timothy still has a long road of growing and recovery and will need a special home who can help with this he is ready to find his own home. Are you looking for the most amazing and resilient puppy to add to your family?

Right as we were starting our 2024 Christmas break Peach came into our care. When our foster home agreed to take her in we were unaware that this girl was having some big issues with her right eye. When her foster reached out to our partner clinic, Brighton Veterinary Clinic, they asked to see a photo, upon seeing it they got her in the same day! Peach was started on antibiotics in the hopes that it would clear up the issue. Unfortunately that was not the situation and she had to have an enucleation on January 2nd – talk about New Year New Look!!! Peach is back in her foster home healing and trying to figure out this new life situation. Update: Peach has had some struggles with filtering her urine as she should, an abdominal ultrasound was completed and there is a small mass near her spay site that may be the cause of her issues. She went for another surgery to have a better look at this area and remove the mass, hoping that this will make her more comfortable.

There are not a lot of things in this world that are worse that we can imagine then hearing a young animal cry out in pain and fear. That is exactly what happened this past weekend to a family who’s community is partnered with Canine Action Project when this young pup was thought to have had something fall onto his back. This poor boy, just 3 months old, was found with little to no use of his hindquarters leaving the family and rescuers to rally to him to ensure that he wouldn’t know pain for long. He was rushed to a veterinarian clinic and a quick x-ray determined that he was suffering from a small chip/crack in one of his vertebrae just before his pelvis. Because he has control over his bladder, with the exception of excitement piddles, and bowels there seemed to be hope for him that time and pain control would bring down the swelling in his spinal cord. One of our dedicated foster homes was out with Canine Action Project and met him and knew they needed to help so he was brought into our care. Patrick is currently resting and happy as can be. He is already trying to stand and absolutely loves people. While his prognosis will remain in the air until the swelling has gone down we are hopeful that this little fella will get to continue to love and grow. He will likely require physical therapy. Update: On Saturday, April 13th, Patrick lost his appetite and only ate about half of his breakfast, by noon he vomited it up, by 4pm it was decided to take him to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine where he was admitted after being tested positive for parvovirus. Over the next 9 days the phone call updates were anticipated as he slowly became sicker, including the bloody diarrhea that tells us how sick he really is. A nasogastric tube had to be placed and he had to be given multiple small meals every day. The time, care, attention, as well as his extended cheering section sighed with relief when we heard he had pulled out the feeding tube and ate his meal without stimulants. Another, louder one was given when we were told he chewed off his IV, these are just a few signs that he was healing. And on Monday we were given the best news, Patrick could come home to his foster family, those were happy tears being shed. Meanwhile a neurologist examined him prior to his discharge and their thoughts were that Patrick may actually have a parasite known, Neospora, which can cause muscle atrophy and limb contractions in puppies , so he has been started on an antibiotic to treat that as well. In other good news, Patrick is walking around using his right hind leg, he’s a goofy and slightly naughty boy who has won the hearts of everyone who has been with him and he is truly looking forward to snuggling with his forever family when he is cleared from his isolation and we learn the fate of his left leg that is still quite immobile at this time. Update: Patrick is recovering well from his parvovirus. He is scheduled to have his left leg amputated as it has not recovered from his injury like the right side. In other news, Patrick is the KING of the puppy eye and will melt your heart! Update: Patrick has had surgery to remove his left hind leg. He is back home and recovering wonderfully, he will soon be ready to find his favourite people! Update: Patrick has started seeing the team at Bridge City Veterinary Rehabilitation to build up his strength in his back and his right hind leg. He has enjoyed laser therapy treatment as well as time on the water treadmill. He has signalled that he would much rather not swim in the treadmill space because then his ears get wet and he does not care for that, thank you very much. We are so excited to see the continued strength in Patrick and he can hardly wait to find a home that will continue his physical therapy with him. Update: Patrick is continuing to get stronger but it is a slow process. We are now looking to get him a special harness that will allow his foster to help hold up his hind end while he does his exercises to help him strengthen his core and learn proper foot placement does not equal bum scoots across the floor.

Athena, arrived in our care differently than the rest. In August, the day before she was supposed to be coming into the care of our rescue, being extremely underweight and pregnant, she gave birth to six puppies. Immediately, two pups were lost and, in the arms of a New Hope volunteer, another two sadly passed away. That left Athena with two surviving pups, which she cared so well for with all the energy she had in her. Since that day, Athena and her puppies had been healthy and both puppies have found their own homes … until once again, the day before she was to be put up for adoption on the website, Athena suddenly was struggling to breathe. In under ten minutes, Athena’s heroic foster family got her to the emergency room at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. The medical team determined she needed urgent, five-hour-long surgery to save her life. Her liver, stomach, part of her spleen, and her intestines were all located in her chest cavity and had even started to show adhesion to her chest cavity. Luckily, the only organ damage she had seemed to be to her liver, which is anticipated to regenerate itself. All of the organs were relocated back to her abdomen, and the hernia was closed using her diaphragm. She was given a chest tube to monitor the pressure in her chest and a bladder catheter to monitor the pressure in her abdomen. Today, Athena is being monitored while she rests and heals and we are asking all of you for your help. Update: After 3 nights in hospital, including one emergency surgery, Athena was able to return to her foster home to continue her recovery. We could not be more thankful for her foster home’s quick reaction to her sudden change, and to the team at the Small Animal Clinic ICU/Emergency Room who took such good care of our girl. She has touched the lives of many and we are all looking forward to her being able to settle into her forever home when she has finished recuperating. Update: Athena had her 2 week follow up and is continuing to improve. In another 2 weeks she will be going for follow up x-rays, and if everything goes to plan, she is expected to go up for adoption! Update: Athena’s bloodwork is not quite right yet so her foster and her vet are working on the right support for her to get it back in line. Update: We are happy to share that Athena is cleared for adoption! Please look at her bio and photos listed on our adoptable dogs page. Final Update: Athena is being loved on in her own home. We are so grateful for everyone who was a part of her journey to wellness, she wouldn’t be where she is today without your love and support.

Sweet Juniper came to New Hope through Canine Action Project after she tried, unsuccessfully, to make friends with a porcupine. She has had upwards of 100 quills pulled from her face and shoulders between 2 vet visits and her patient foster home pulling them out. She has also been put on antibiotics to fight the infection that often accompanies these types of injuries. Juniper is a sweet and lovely girl who will make a family a great companion. We just need to try to remove as many quills as possible and be sure that she is free of infections. Update: Juniper found her forever home thanks to our partner vet knowing exactly the right person looking for a new girl like her to enter their lives. We are so happy that Juniper will live a great life in a loving home.

New Hope was contacted Friday November 13, 2020 through Canine Action Project, her name is Ginny and she is a 3 month old dog that was hit by a car. They immediately took her to a veterinarian to receive care. X-rays were done and no visible breaks in were found in her front right shoulder. The veterinarian thinks it could be soft tissue damage or possibly nerve damage which could repair itself over time but no guarantees. Her back left hip was popped out, with no visible breaks. They were able to pop her hip back in under sedation. She went to a loving foster home that evening. Update: Ginny is having hip surgery to repair her hip with a Femoral Hip Ostectomy, she is scheduled for November 23 to have it repaired. With the right limb there may be some nerve damage and it may be several months before we know if it improves or if she will have to have it amputated. Please consider donating to our Guardians of Hope fund, 100 percent all all money donated towards this fund goes directly towards care for Ginny and other dogs that need additional care. Final Update: Ginny has found herself an amazing forever home, we couldn’t be happier.

In March Art came into our care needing a dental in quite the way. He also needed us to allow him time to become used to his foster home as he had experienced too many changes. After a visit with our partner vet, Orchard Veterinary Care, it was determined that Art would need some of his teeth extracted. Art went to the clinic to have his teeth removed in May and after 2 teeth were removed, Art experienced medical distress. The procedure had to be stopped. June 6th Art returned to the clinic and had 19 more teeth removed!! In total, Art had 21 teeth removed. Art has been healing and learning an all new world in his loving foster home and is ready to meet his forever family! Update: Art has found his forever person and is now taking his time becoming fully acquainted with his new home.

July 26th Lemon was seen by our partner vet, Orchard Veterinary Care for her spay and to examine her mouth and hind leg. Turns out that Lemon is built differently than other dogs. All of her incisors and canines have not erupted although they all appear to be there under her gums, and her hips seem to be lined up a little different that leads to her having a different walk. Lemon will be returning to Orchard on August 10th for a dental as well as a closer look at her hips to ensure that she’s not experiencing any pain. Update: Lemon is back in her foster home after her appointment at Orchard, dental x-rays show that nearly all of her teeth are present under the gum line, including some puppy teeth, and they are impacted. This makes her case more complicated and she has been referred to the dental clinic at the WCVM Small Animal Clinic. At this time Lemon doesn’t appear to be in any pain or discomfort, but, if left untreated, her teeth will cause damage to her jaw bone. Update: On December 13th Lemon visited the WCVM for her first dental surgery. Despite our hopes that she would have had some of her teeth come through, the roots are now closed meaning that there will not be any further movement. Because of how many teeth are impacted the decision was made to have a minimum of 2 surgeries to extract all of the necessary teeth. These surgeries will allow Lemon to live a long and healthy life. She is healing up great from the first surgery and her next one is scheduled for February. This weekend Lemon even got to meet Santa and tell him that she really is such a wonderful good girl. Update: On February 3rd Lemon had her second dental surgery to remove the remaining impacted teeth. She was such a wonderful trooper, although it is hard to keep her still. Final Update: We are so happy to announce that this joyful girl has been in her loving forever home for some months now.

Randy arrived into New Hope February 3, 2021 after we were contacted about an injured dog who had a fractured leg with the bone sticking out from a front-line rescuer. We made arrangements to immediately go out and pick Randy up. He was taken directly to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine emergency department. It does appear it was an old fractured and he will have to now fight against an infection. He was examined and stabilized. On February 4, 2021 he was taken into Orchard Veterinary Care. He is having his leg amputated that afternoon. March 4, 2021 Randy is cleared for adoption and is looking for his forever home. Update: March 15, 2021 Randy has wonderful news, he has found his forever home and has been adopted.

Willie arrived to New Hope on August 11, 2020 after a partner vet clinic contacted us about him. Unfortunately, Willie had an accident and has a broken femur. We left right away and picked him up and took him directly to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine emergency clinic, where his surgery was a success. Willie was released on August 14, 2020 to finish recovering in his loving foster home. He will have to spend 8-12 weeks with New Hope to ensure he is healed from the surgery. Willie is only 2 years old and we know this surgery will give him the opportunity to live a long life. Update: Willie has been cleared for adoption. He found his loving forever home in January 2021.

Ripley was surrendered to New Hope in July of 2019. Shortly after he arrived in his foster home, they noticed Ripley seemed to be very stiff in his back legs. Ripley was seen at a partner vet clinic and referred to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. At Ripley’s consult, he was sedated for x-rays of both stifles to allow for surgical planning and to assess the joints. Bilateral increased stifle synovial volume, cranial tibial thrust and degenerative joint changes seen on the radiographs were consistent with cranial cruciate ligament injury in both hind legs. Ripley had his first of two surgeries on November 1st, which was Left Stifle Arthroscopy and Left Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) procedure. Full recovery is 8-12 weeks. Ripley had his second surgery on January 9th, 2020 which went great and he is currently available for adoption. Please consider donating to help with Ripley’s medical expenses. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated in continuing the care of our Guardians of Hope!

Sweet and resilient Isabella was found injured in a community with her 2 pups. She had been hit by a vehicle about a week prior and she was in pain but being a great mom all the same. Thankfully 2 foster homes said yes, one to her and the other to her pups. Isabella was quickly seen by the team at Orchard Veterinary Care where it was determined surgery had to happen.

On a Wednesday Milly found herself at the mercy of a vehicle. It was hoped that she would recover without medical intervention, but when Friday arrived the decision was made to get Milly to the clinic, she wasn’t using her right leg and was choosing not to move around much at all. Thankfully our friends at Canine Action Project got her to Park Range Veterinary Services where it was discovered that her hind right tibia was fractured. She was stabilized while we looked for a foster and brought to the WCVM Small Animal Clinic so she could be observed and monitored until her surgery. The team working with her reported that she was a very good patient, sweet with everyone, eating her meals, and eager to go for walks as her pain was controlled. She was also taken for further x-rays and a CT Scan that confirmed she did have some damage around her lungs and a fracture at the sacroiliac joint that was causing luxation. On Wednesday, April 2nd, Milly underwent a 6 hour surgery to repair both fractures. It was reported that she is a young, healthy dog, so her body was already creating new calcification near the tibial fracture that made it difficult for a ‘perfect’ repair, but it was a good repair all the same. Milly is not resting and recuperating in her foster home, it is expected that she will start some rehabilitation work in a week or two to help her through the healing process. She will need 6-8 weeks to heal before she can be adopted.

On March 12th we were contacted by Canine Action Project when they were made aware of an injured stray in one of their partner communities. She had an injured leg and no one was sure of the extent of the injury. One of CAP’s volunteers went out to the community and picked her up, she was easy to find as she was just laying on the road in obvious pain. On the evening of March 17th she arrived to a temporary foster home who took her to Orchard Veterinary Care, one of our partner clinics, where she would meet up with her foster family. The wonderful team took great care of her and were able to ascertain that Fig had a fractured radius. Thankfully, while it painful for her, it was not displaced. Meaning sweet Fig only needs to worry about going in to have her splint changed every week or 2 for the next 6-10 weeks. Now that she has been in her foster home for the past 4 days they were able to share that ‘Fig is an absolute sweetheart and gentle soul. She is a chill girl who enjoys getting attention and loves giving hugs. She is such a good patient at the vet clinic and loves everyone she meets. ‘ Update: Fig had a secret, a really big secret, that she let us in on in the early hours of May 12th. That’s right, on the morning of Mother’s Day Fig birthed a litter of 5 sweet souls much to everyone’s surprise. She sure looks proud of herself though. Here we thought her big news this week would be that she was getting her cast removed later in the week. Update: Fig’s babies are cleared for adoption and she will be as soon as her spay is complete! Update: Fig has found her family and is enjoying getting to know them. We are so happy to have been a part of Fig’s journey!

Max was found shortly after being hit by a car and brought to the attention of Canine Action Project who were able to get her into a clinic. Max came out of her accident with a fractured jaw at the madibul. We are so grateful for our team of fosters who offered to help Max. One foster is able to help her start her journey of healing and a second foster home will be able to take her at the beginning of August to continue. At this time Max is on a rest, antibiotics, pain management schedule with her food served as mush. She will be going for weekly check ups for the next few weeks to ensure she is healing well. With just over 12 hours in care her foster writes “She’s painful, I think, a bit as she kind of flexes her face and rubs the side and drools when she sleeps but sleeps all night in locked kennel no issue. She put herself in it a few times in evening when I went to check her so figured night time she will be locked otherwise she has a penned in to back door space which is perfect. When she is awake she does good wants attention and wants to just lay next to the kids outside. Ate soaked kibble very well both meals so far (I just soak it like I would 4 week old pups)” Update: Max had a follow up appointment today and is healing, but definitely has a fractured left jaw and needs to refrain from chewing which she is disappointed by. To help her with that she will need to wear a soft muzzle that will allow her to slurp her mushy food, drink, and pant. She is scheduled for her spay and for a more thorough x-ray of her mouth as well as removal of any teeth located along the fracture to assist with the healing process. Hopefully 3 weeks of the muzzle will see her healed up.

On March 7, someone in a partner community contacted our friends at Canine Action Project about a stray dog with a significant wound on her front right foot. CAP got her to a veterinarian, who stitched up her wounded toe. CAP then asked New Hope if we had a foster home willing to take her. Thankfully, one of our amazing foster homes said “yes” and the dog came in over the weekend. Welcome Ella! Her injury was significant: three-inch long, one-inch deep laceration through the pad of her third toe. It was stitched up by the vet and now, she needs to resist licking it – hurray for cones! The stitches can be removed in another week. Our foster home writes that Ella is roughly eight months old and is absolutely adorable and full of love. She gains trust easily with a few scratches and learned that not all humans are bad. She has been introduced to several dogs and has no problems fitting in with play. Ella has begun training for boundaries and obedience and should learn quickly as she is very smart and highly food motivated. Update: Ella’s toe is healing well and she is ready to find her family to run and play with. Final Update: Ella has found her new home and is now basking in their love and attention. Thank you to everyone who cheered her on through her healing journey. Ella is our newest Guardian of Hope! To support her medical care as well as the care provided to our other Guardians, please consider making a donation to our Guardians of Hope fund. The entirety of your donation to this fund supports expenses for major medical care. Thank you in advance for keeping our most vulnerable dogs under expert medical care.

We welcomed Ribsy to the New Hope family on Sunday Nov 26th. He has an infection in his left front paw, it was suspected to be osteomyelitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the bone marrow. He also had an open wound on the pad of the same paw. Unfortunately his first round of antibiotics was not successfully able to clear up all of the infection. He hasn’t been in care for long but his foster writes ‘Ribsy has been with us just under a week and we have nicknamed him Shadow due his love of being wherever people are. He does not like to be left out (FOMO) and likes to join whatever is happening. He loves having company. He is still very young and puppy like and loves to have lots of people and stimulation around. He is quickly learning house manners being an outside dog [originally]. … Working from home – he comes to remind me if I have been sitting too long that it is time to move and comes in for hugs every once in a while! He loves going out for walks and fetch which we are careful with so he doesn’t overdo it because of his paw. … He walks surprisingly well on the leash – especially as he is so alert and notices everything. He is such a good boy (and wants to be a good boy) and loves to come in for hugs, greetings at the door and nothing beats a hug first thing in the morning to start the day of right!’ Ribsy wears a boot when he goes out for walks and is scheduled to go for his neuter and possibly an amputation of the infected toe scheduled for Dec 1st. Update: The initial surgery to amputate the infected toe did not go as planned so currently Ribsy is getting regular bandage changes and taking broad spectrum antibiotics and antifungal medication. His medical team is happy to see the progress and will continue to reassess if an amputation will be needed before the holidays. Update: We are happy to share that Ribsy had a successful amputation of his infected toe on December 22nd. Thankfully only the toe needed to be removed. Quite the Christmas for his foster family as they worked to keep this active young man from running around on his wound. He is still having wound care while it heals. He will be available for adoption as soon as he gets the all clear from his veterinarian. Update: Happy news from his veterinarian team, he is healing well and is ready to start looking for his forever people! Update: All of that resting led to some sucle weakness in the leg that had the surgery and now Ribsy enjoys weekly sessions at Saskatoon Waterpaws and at Bridge City Rehabilitation. He is also getting a brace to help support his leg while he does the exercises to rebuild his muscles. Is it the exercise and therapy that is making him stronger or is it all the additional love he is getting, we will let his forever family decide! Final Update: Ribsy has found a loving home where he is already fitting right in and continuing his rehabilitation! We are so grateful for his loving and patient foster home who made sure that he was healthy and ready for adoption.

Sweet Maggie started to show symptoms of parvovirus in the early morning hours of August 10th, knowing that timing is everything in these cases her foster home rushed her to the WCVM small animal clinic along with her littermate. Both were tested, he came back negative and remains symptom free, while Maggie was positive and admitted to the isolation unit. Maggie has had good days and bad and remains in hospital at this time, but no matter the day she continues to fight. Food became unappetizing to her when she was still vomiting with anti-nausea medication and it was decided that a feeding tube needed to be placed. Once she had her first meal through the tube she became a little brighter and hope remains strong with this little one. Parvovirus in an hour by hour battle until they are symptom free. Maggie will remain in her foster home for 30 days once she is released from the hospital to will allow her time to continue to heal and regain her feisty strength while her body finishes shedding the virus. Update: Maggie is well on her way to being healed and ready for adoption! Sept 15th is coming fast so this little girl is making sure to enjoy all the food and eat all the treats all while entertaining her foster family. Update #2: We are happy to announce that Maggie has found her forever people. We know she is going to live a very good life.

On May 2nd New Hope was contacted a pup had been hit by a car 3 days earlier and had a broken femur. If we weren’t able to bring him in to foster care he would need to be euthanized. Our foster network pulled together and a foster was found for him. A volunteer drove out to bring him into Saskatoon and directly to a partner vet on May 3rd. The initial thought was that he was going to have his leg amputated. On May 4th Gio went in for his surgery and the surgical team at Orchard Vet Care took further x-rays and determined that they were confident a pin and plate would help fix the broken femur rather then complete removal of the limb, only his surgery would need to be put off till the next day as that was a more time intensive procedure. May 5th Gio returned to Orchard Vet Care where a pin was carefully placed to help his femur heal correctly. He spent one night in hospital then went to his foster care where he is currently resting on very strict crate rest. Update: May 31 Gio went for surgery to get the pin removed from his leg! We are so excited to see him thriving. He still needs another week of rest but he is ready to find his forever home!! Update: Gio has found his forever home! We are so excited for him!

On Thursday, April 7, 2022, a front line rescuer reached out to us with a young dog who was malnourished and injured. He needed to be seen as soon as we could get him into Saskatoon. We didn’t know much more about this boy but a loving foster home offered him a place to rest and recuperate so we were able to get him into the WCVM on Friday afternoon. The kind people who transported him into Saskatoon let us know that this boy was in considerable pain so the hospital could be prepared. The vets at WCVM took x-rays of his chest and pelvic bones and prepared us for the fact that he was most likely going to need surgery on his left ilium. They also found that he had a fracture already healing on his left knee. Neo was kept at the hospital over the weekend and we were relieved to hear that he most likely will not require the surgery, rather he will be placed on bedrest over the next 6-8 weeks in his foster home. He will require further x-rays as he heals and surgery is still a possibility. We are looking forward to this wonderful boy healing and finding his forever home. May 17th – we went into the follow up x-rays with so much hope that the crate rest did what was needed only to be disappointed. Neo requires surgery on his hip, an operation called a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO). The surgeon’s will remove the head and neck of his femur with the goal of restoring pain-free mobility to that hip. Update – June 7th, Neo had the FHO surgery on his left leg. He is now home with his loving foster family and moving slowly and surely towards a happier and healthier life. Update – on June 27th Neo started Hydrotherapy at WaterPaws to help him regain strength and mobility in his injured leg. While he likes the water he wasn’t quite sure what to make of it getting so much deeper than the paddling pool at his foster home. Thank you WaterPaws for helping Neo on his journey to a new life. Update – On July 12th Neo had a follow up with our partners at Orchard Veterinary Care and the results were not what we were hoping for. X-rays taken show that his bones, while healing well from his FHO, are producing normal bony growths that are not lining up normally with his hip. This is causing Neo a lot of pain and discomfort causing him to avoid using this leg as much as possible, In turn his muscles in that leg are wasting despite the best efforts of his loving foster home and the work done at WaterPaws. With this information the decision has been made to give him the best quality of life without the pain by amputating this leg. Neo will be going in for his second surgery on July 20th. Everyone at New Hope want to thank everyone for the care and support that Neo continues to receive. Final update: We are so happy to share that Neo has found his forever home in time for Christmas!

Beau arrived into New Hope’s care on December 15, 2020. He was in poor body condition and appeared to have a skin condition. After being seen by a partner vet it appeared he was severely emaciated and had evidence of lice. On the morning of December 18, his foster noticed he was not feeling well. He was taken to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and unfortunately diagnosed with Parvovirus. He is there currently receiving treatment and fighting for his life. His sister Nova and brother Sven, Olaf and Felix are also fighting for their lives with Parvovirus as well. There they can be isolated and can receive specialized care for the deadly disease. Update: Beau was released to his foster home on December 21, 2020 where he will spend the upcoming weeks recuperating from the deadly disease. Final update: Beau has fully recovered and has found his loving forever home.

Lily arrived into New Hope’s care on May 14, 2020 after another rescue organization Canine Action Project reached out to us to see if we could take on a major medical case. Lily had a broken left femur and she had corrective surgery to repair the fracture. on May 15th. Upon doing x-rays, they also found she has a C7 neck vertebral body fracture as well as a rib fracture, they are thinking the injuries may resolve with crate rest. She will need to spend some extra time recuperating with a loving foster home. Please consider donating to our Guardian of Hope fund, all the funds donated to this fund goes directly towards the medical costs of these major medical cases. Without your ongoing support we would be unable to assist these dogs with more extensive medical cases. Update: Lily found her forever home in July 2020.

Nemo came into New Hope and has been treated at the Western College of Veterinarian Medicine. Nemo has damage to his right forelimb ulnar nerve with secondary muscle contracture. It is thought that Nemo may have been hit by a car, which has resulted in damage to the nerves of his brachial plexus which supply the forelimb. Luckily for Nemo, he only seems to have dysfunction of his ulnar nerve at this stage. The ulnar nerve has a role in supplying sensation to the skin at the back of the leg as well as signals to the muscles which help Nemo to place his foot correctly. When the nerve was damaged the muscles supplied by this nerve were disused, leading to their atrophy and eventual contracture such that his foot is held in a flexed position. Nemo has learned how to walk with his foot knuckled over; we will need to stretch the muscles out so that he has an opportunity to learn how to place his foot correctly by flicking it forward. It is possible that when he is older, or as a part of his recovery, he will need an orthopedic device called an orthotic which helps to hold the foot in the correct position for him. Nemo has had x-rays of the limb and there were no fractures detected. Nemo is currently having rehabilitation sessions with the WCVM team and a splint was placed to help hold his foot in the correct position. He is doing very well in his foster home. Update: Nemo found his loving forever family just before the holiday season began in December of 2019. Please consider donating towards our Guardians of Hope fund, these funds go directly towards Nemo’s medical costs and other medical cases we take in throughout the year.

There are times when just a picture can tell you everything and the picture of Punkin as a stray in a community told our foster home everything they needed to know to say yes to bringing her into their home. Not only was she severely emaciated, she was suffering from quills and subsequent infections and her right eye was so damaged. Despite all of this she met the team in the community with love, curiosity, and joy. Quite willing to leave the cold, outside world that she was not likely remain alive in for much longer if a foster home hadn’t said yes. It didn’t take her long to make herself comfortable being inside and getting regular, small, measured meals to help her put on some weight while her body healed. The infections from the quills were quite substantial and unfortunately her eye could not be saved. But as of today she is continuing to heal, is gaining weight back in a healthy way, and is starting to adjust to having only one eye. Update: Punkin has put on weight and is coming along so well. She still needs a dental and more quills to be removed, but we absolutely had to share how beautiful she is looking for.

Pine took a little work to make it into our care as he did need to be flown into Saskatoon from the northern reaches of our province where he was a stray in the community who enjoyed hanging around the nurses residence for some attention and food. Unfortunately in his travels around the community he had come across a porcupine and was unsuccessful in becoming friends. This poor boy also didn’t want to make it easy and missed his first scheduled flight. A week later he arrived, still full of quills and now they were further aggravated by infection. The evening of August 17th, when he was safely off the plane and in the care of his foster family he was taken directly to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine for immediate assessment. The team in the ER determined that he had a lot going on and it would be best for the surgical team to look him over as well as a CT scan to see just how many more quills were hidden and if they were in a dangerous area as we know that quills can migrate and if they are close to major organs it is bad. Meanwhile they removed more than 70 quills from his face and chest. He also had something going on with both of his eyes. On August 18th the surgical team looked over his CT and confirmed that there was a fair amount of quill debris in his face and particularly around his right eye. But there was something more sinister lurking that no one was aware of, he had 3 pellets, one behind his right eye which could explain it’s condition, one on the left side of his head, and another in his belly close to his organs but not interfering. There is a considerable amount of scar tissue around these so they have been in him for some time. The ophthalmologist also looked at his eyes. His right eye could not be saved so it was carefully removed along with many more quills from the eye area and his mouth on August 19th. His left eye is thought to be viable given time to heal, but he will have a follow up with ophthalmology later this week. Update: The evening on August 20th saw Pine move into his foster home for the first time where he will be given time to decompress and adjust to life as a pet. Update: Pine has come a long way and is starting to show his goofy side he is adjusting well to having only one eye. He had a follow up appointment at the WCVM where another 5 quills were removed and it was confirmed that his remaining eye is good and that the scar from the removal on the other side is doing well. He continues to heal up but is progressing. Update: Pine is settling into his foster home but still finds some of the situations to be difficult. He is working with Sunrise Canine Behavioural Consulting and receiving continued medical support to help him refind his equilibrium. Meanwhile quills continue to make their way to the surface. We are hoping that Pine will be more comfortable in all the ways soon.

On Saturday, January 13th, Tiny Zoey was rescued from the extreme cold from a place with little shelter and not enough food. As the smallest dog in the area, Tiny Zoey finished last accessing food. On arrival to her foster home, it was obvious that Tiny had a widespread infection with bleeding, oozing, scaley skin. Tiny was immediately taken to 8th Street Pets & Vets. The vet team shaved, bathed, dewormed and administered IV hydration. Tiny Zoey returned to her foster that evening and is on her journey to recovery in a warm house with clean bedding, antibiotics, skin cleansers, ample food and lots of love. While Tiny Zoey is understandably totally obsessed with food, despite her rough start and current medical issues, she is a pretty happy girl who follows people in the house and loves to snuggle on the couch. Update: She continues to improve. Her skin is less angry/red. The gabapentin really knocks her out which is good because then she’s not scratching. She is glued to her foster mom’s ankle. Any activity in the kitchen gets her immediate attention even when she’s fast asleep! She sleeps nice overnight in her dog bed by the big bed. Her foster changes and washes bedding for the dog beds and couch covers daily. Tiny Zoey is generally quite happy and loves cuddling particularly with her foster dad who is super dooper allergic to her, but loves to give her hugs then going wash off! Update: Tiny Zoey’s skin is continuing to heal and she is starting to learn how to better live in a home with humans thanks to the tenacity and patience of her very dedicated foster home. Tiny is also getting help from Sunrise Canine Behaviour Consulting to get her ready for her forever friends.

This little gal was suffering when Canine Action Project volunteers found her, hanging on by a sheer determination only. She was had an extreme vaginal prolapse, was underweight by about 20lbs, and, apparently, when she was trying to survive, she ate a towel and that was all wrapped up in her feces and had to be removed from her body before the vet performed an emergency spay as part of the repair process. Zelda arrived to New Hope’s care after spending a couple of days healing in CAP’s care. She was healing well and our partner vet, 8th Street Pets & Vets was happy with the healing progress, she just needed a couple of weeks to completely heal and than she would be eligible for adoption. She was an energetic girl who struggled to find her calm upon first arriving, up and down and around she went. So imagine everyone’s surprise earlier this week when her foster said she seems to be really favouring her left hind leg, not putting weight on it. On Feb 12th she went to the clinic for an exam and no one was prepared for what was discovered. Whatever happened to her prior to coming in had fractured her leg, only it wasn’t obvious, not on observation or examination. Being the way she was, she masked whatever pain she felt extraordinarily well until her leg bones fully came apart and the pain was more than she can hide. Looking at the x-rays, you can see how her fracture is now complete. The affected leg went from being a normal leg to being 4″ shorter than the rest. She will be having surgery in the coming days. We are all looking forward to learning more about her personality when she is pain free. Update: On March 6th Zelda had her injured leg removed, and after a rough first night she’s started to act like she never ever had that leg. She will be up for adoption soon so keep an eye out if you are looking for your own special companion. Update: We are happy to share that Zelda is loving life in her new forever home where she is already so very loved.
