Penny the Poodle formerly Enya 06-022-DX |
We regret to inform you that we had to have our lovely Penny the Poodle (formerly Enya 06-022-D) euthanized August 10, 2021, due to liver failure, dementia, and overall old age. According to the estimates of her age at the time she came into NASAP's care, she was anywhere from 17 to 20 years old, so as the British would say (hi Mary), she had a good long innings.

Bonnie 10-121-DX |
Hi folks,
With sad regret we want to let you know that our beloved Bonnie (10-121-D), the 3-legged wonder-dog) had to be euthanized May 24, 2022, due to the congestive heart failure she had dealt with the last 3 years or so. She was a one of a kind character and had the quirkiest personality of all of the dogs we have had the privilege to care for. She is now playing on the other side of the rainbow bridge with her old wrestling companion, Penny the Poodle, who we sadly lost to old age just last year. We will miss you greatly Bonnie.

In Loving Memory of Tashi 🌈
From her family ❣️
"I’m heartbroken to say we released Tashi from this world on June 21. Her systems were shutting down (endocrine, digestive, sight and hearing) and although I’m certain she’d keep up a stoic front for me I would never ask that of her. Most know what a special dog she was to me, she was my soul dog.
She came to us with the name Missy at 6/7 months old from NASAP - Northern Alberta Society for Animal Protection in Edmonton, we were her 7th home including the foster she ended up at. It was evident right from the start she was very bright but also quite the high energy wild child. We immediately decided her name should be changed to Tashi (meaning lucky in Tibetan…lucky for her to find us and us her). On more than one occasion I spent time in the bathroom in tears wondering what the hell I’d done those first months…maybe years; however she turned into the most incredible balanced dog and a wonderful partner. She helped bring along so many dogs during my dog walking business days, welcomed dogs we adopted and helped mold two puppies here. She was a mentor, role model, a friend to many dogs and just incredibly cool. She did agility, tried out barn hunt and got her novice trick dog title at 12 years of age. To say she was always up for an adventure was an understatement and we had a blast. She taught me a lot about myself and about being a dog person. She almost made it to 15 years with us, I respect and honour her for the beautiful dog and partner she was and she will most definitely be running free with her pals that have passed before her (especially Kaya).
A favorite quote to help me know I did the right thing at the right time:
After a dog dies, her soul is released into the world around us. Her soul is released to run in the world, run through the fields, enjoy the earth, the wind, the rivers, the sun, the woods. Tashi has been released. ❤️ ~The Art of Racing in the Rain"

Archie 20-020-C  |
Hey I’m Archie, I first came to NASAP in the early summer of 2020. Before that, I was on the streets with a few close cat friends. I was cared for by a nice lady who fed me and let me in to rest from time to time. Once the lady realized I was friendly and needed medical care, I came into NASAP. I had a bad bite on my tail with an abscess. I was on my own for a long time. Sadly, when I got here, I tested positive for Feline Leukaemia (FeLv)… My life expectancy was estimated to be about a year or less. Inquire today so I can share my itty bitty kitty heart with you!

Teddy 15-049-C  |
We first met Teddy in 2015 at Black Gold pound. He was very thin, his teeth were in rough shape, and he was suffering from a skin condition over most of his body that had caused irritation, scabbing and hair loss. We figured he was about ten years old and immediately took him into NASAP's care. Teddy recovered his health in foster care and was adopted out quickly but due to no fault of his own, he returned to NASAP in 2017. Because he was showing early signs of renal and dental disease, the decision was made to keep him in permanent care with NASAP. Many wonderful and caring foster homes looked after Teddy during his time with NASAP and we thank each and every one of them for opening their homes and hearts to this truly special cat. Teddy had the best personality and Jenny always felt he was the nicest cat that crossed her path in over a decade volunteering with NASAP cat intake. Teddy loved love and he always wanted to be near people. He wanted to sleep on his own dedicated pillow right beside your head or under the covers, snuggled up against your body with his head rested on your shoulder. He was always crawling into warm caves that he fashioned out of blankets and he never missed an opportunity to play with string toys or ask for cat treats. Teddy had the most luxurious long, orange/cream tabby coat and the amazing staff at Catty Canines donated a bath and grooming every six weeks for him. Thank you so much to Chelsea for providing this incredibly important service to Teddy and so many other NASAP foster cats. Teddy also received excellent care from Dr. Fredlund, Dr. Ho and all the staff at Brintnell Veterinary Hospital. For the past several years he has required medications and subcutaneous fluids every couple of days and he always accepted everything like a true gentleman. He made it so easy to care for him. When his health finally took a turn for the worse that could not be managed, the decision was made to let him cross the rainbow bridge. He was humanely euthanized at Guardian Vet on November 20, 2021 while we held him in our arms and told him that we loved him.
