Agnes 00-000-CA |
Agnes was a short-haired torbie spayed female cat that was impounded at one of NASAP's partner pounds in December, 2013. She had a tattoo which allowed us to determine that she was spayed in 2000 and was likely around 14 years old. Despite the tattoo, her owner could not be traced or contacted and she remained unclaimed because of her age and scrappy personality. Because of these factors, she was also not a candidate for rehoming through the rescue. As a volunteer, I found it very difficult to keep leaving her at the pound every time I went to collect younger, friendlier and more adoptable cats for the rescue. So, in early February, I took Agnes home and assumed responsibility for her. She spent time with friends from the rescue and she even proved to be an excellent mouser in one friend's apartment! Agnes was very sweet with me and my husband and she always seemed grateful for her second chance at a forever home. On the other hand, she was always a complete fractious hellion at the vet clinic. She was given excellent medical care by Dr. Fredlund and Dr. Van Boxtel at Calgary Trail Pet Hospital. Despite medical challenges including kidney disease and repeated urinary tract infections, Agnes spent a happy and comfortable 3.5 years as part of our family. She was euthanized on July 14, 2017.

Bella 01-000-DD |
Dear NASAP, I just wanted to let you know that 15 years ago we adopted Bella through NASAP. She was such a scruffy looking waif of a dog who knew nothing...lol....Bella was a nervous 1 year old puppy when we rescued each other and she grew into a beautiful, loving dog. Over the years we built up her confidence, we could open the front door with no fear of her running away. Strangers were just friends she hadn't met yet. She loved everyone, and everything. She was my gardening companion, my confidante, my protector. 15 years of unconditional love and devotion. At the ripe old age of 16 she had arthritis and degenerative myelopathy. She was on 4 different medications and still in so much pain so as heartbreaking as it was for all of us we made the decision. We had a cheeseburger party for her and the vet came to the house and with all her loved ones gathered around her she went over the rainbow bridge, pain free and chasing rabbits. Thank you so much for bringing us together. I can't express how much we loved this wonderful pup. Shelley Cardinal (Paskall) and family

Cookie 16-005-DA |
Cookie came into our lives in February 2016 and was a really important addition to our family. She was approximately 13 years old at that time. Very well-behaved and super affectionate. When she first came into our lives she loved to go for walks not long walks but shorter walks through the neighbourhood. She loved visiting all the dogs that lived near us and was friends with everyone around. Except rabbits and squirrels for some reason she not only wanted to chase them she actually howled at them. People would open their doors to make sure someone wasn't beating a dog as she sounded as though she was in pain. The neighbours did get used to it after awhile.
As time went on the walks got shorter until finally just going to the door and out on to the porch was all she could manage. She would do this every time if Jim or I went out or if Hailey came over. She was our dog from the get go and we loved her as much as she loved us.
It did finally come to the point though that with the Cushings disease we had to let her go. Our happy baby was in pain and that just wasn't fair to her. On November 23rd, 2016, we had to make the very sad decision to let her go. Thank you so much to Dr Chapelle at the vets for being so understanding and helping us through this time. Even though she was a senior dog and not well when she came to us she gave us a lifetime of pleasure in the short time she had left and we are so glad we got to know her and love her.
Love,
- Her loving Permanent care foster mom, Judy!
She is a very lovable sweetheart! She returned to NASAP February 2016 very ill with a pancreatic flare up and extreme diarrhea. She has been an amazing addition to the NASAP family. She is well loved by adults and kids; and gets along great with other dogs. She is quiet and calm in the house. Even with her age she is still active and playful. She loves walks, laying next to her people, and watching out the window of the house or the car! She travels great in the car and loves scratches and belly rubs. During Cookie's time with us she has been monitored for her thyroid condition and pancreas. At the beginning of August cookie had a bad case of diarrhea and we found that she had developed Cushing’s disease. She is being monitored and medicated to manage the condition.

Percy passed away February 17, 2017. His bladder issues have gotten worse over the years and he now has a blockage . His little legs have also been causing him more and more issues and we do not want him to suffer . He has been an amazing little dog and he will always be my special little boy and will be taking my heart with him . I am thankful every day that I have had these years with him and I am always thankful and grateful for what you have done for Percy and most of all thank you for allowing me to adopt him and be his Mommy . Percy sends you all kisses . I’ve also lost touch with Sheila , but if you could please let her know that she will always be Percy’s favourite foster Mommy and he will never forget what she did for him
