It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Yes it is, because this is the time of year for our Annual Paw It Forward Campaign, where through the generosity of our advertisers, we are able to donate our ad dollars back into the local rescue community. We are proud to announce that we are able to donate $4000 this year!
Where the money comes from:
The money comes from all of our generous advertisers! Those are the ads you see to the right of the screen, as well as everyone in our drop down Montreal Resource section. Please check them out and support them as they’ve been wonderful supporters to us and this campaign. We couldn’t give back without you folks! Thank you so much for your support!
Who’s Getting Big Fat Checks this year:
The money has been divided up among our four top bloggers, so they can donate to whichever rescue(s) they like. They each have $1000 to gift this year. Let’s see who they chose and why.
Paw It Forward
Once again I have been awarded the pleasure of sending donations to some of my favourite animal charities that I am proud to know. Once again, I find myself in the dubious position of deciding- there are so many, and so much good that goes on. But of course, we tend to go with who we know, who we represent, and who we want others to support.
So this year I would like to send $300 to Nature Pet Center – who should be applauded in no longer selling dogs and cats, but instead, running an active adoption program of unwanted cats, and occasional dogs. We at the Timberlea Vet Clinic have found ourselves calling them to take in “one of the strays” and they have never let us down. All of their animals are spayed, neutered, dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped before leaving- and the girls are very diligent.
My second $400 goes to Rosie Animal Adoption – because, well, we all know they do a great job of finding forever homes. There are 3 dogs in 3 different homes in our family just alone, and all of them are great dogs.
My final $300 will go to the birds. That sound so funny! But Le Nichoir has been doing what no one else can- helping our song birds survive in these inhospitable times.
Continue all the good work everyone!!!

I can’t believe that this is our 7Th annual Paw It Forward Campaign! Seven years of giving back to our local rescues, what a wonderful feeling! And it’s all in thanks to our amazing advertisers! Pet supply stores, daycares, boarding facilities, pet care, dog trainers, pet waste removal, poop bags, groomers, pet pharmacies, dog walkers, pet sitters, pet photographers, and pet funeral and creation services. I know that our advertisers feel great about their ad dollars being put to great use in supporting our local Montreal Rescues too.Each year I think of which deserving rescues I want to donate my allotted amount to. I always try to choose an ethical rescue, one who does right by the animals in their care, and who also do right by their fosters as well as their adopters. This year I’ve chosen two rescues.
The first rescue, who will receive $500 is Chatopia. Chatopia is a rescue dedicated to rescuing and adopting pure bred cats, and they are a wonderful rescue, helping thousands of cats over the years. They have a very special Siamese named Jax who has had a slew of medical issues, one after the other, and the veterinary costs have been exorbitant. I am so happy to be able to forward this money to the care of Jax, so he can find his purrfect forever home. You can get to know Jax and his story here.
My second rescue, who will also receive $500 is Compassionate Animal Adoption Montreal (CAA). Such a well deserving rescue, with an amazing team of volunteers, and such caring fosters who will do anything for the animals in their care. Compassionate Animal Adoption is a foster based rescue, and they’ve placed so many animals into their forever homes. They take in animals from kill shelters as well as helping families who need to rehome their pets. I’m proud to know and support such an amazing organization.
Again, oodles of thanks and gratitude to all of our advertisers who make this all possible! We couldn’t do it without you!
Happy Pawlidays!
