The Only LOYAL Cat Around

LOYAL has one cat who needs a home...

This cat's name is Church - that's right, like the holy place.

She is a brown and black tabby about two years old spayed female with a medium coat. She was thrown from a vehicle in Peterborough just before Christmas in 2007. Her tail has been broken in two different spots. She has turned in to a sweet gentle loving cat. At first she would not even let me touch her. She was unfamiliar to love. Someone has been awfully mean to her in her past. She is cute but has a razor tongue when she gives kisses. She likes to sleep in bed and is totally FOOD motivated in life. : ) A regal and affectionate girl. She had a difficult life before rescue, and is missing part of her tail as a result. She is very scared in new situations, but once she settles in she is a wonderful, affectionate kitty. And as you can see she is gorgeous too.

Adoption Fee: $135.00

Special Boy Helps Out In A Special Way!

Mason is one of the youngest volunteers for LOYAL. He helps on transports with dogs and fostering alongside his dedicated parents.

This year for Mason's 11th Birthday instead of gifts he asked for donations to LOYAL to help the puppy mill victims. Mason raised $300 for the dogs! Please read his amazing story below!

We started with Loyal rescue as most people do , we adopted a great dog.We had two already , and My son mason wanted a dog for him.So we contacted Loyal , went to visit a few dogs at their foster homes , but done seemed a good fit for us.The we saw Wyatt on the web site.We drove to TO to see him along with another dog.I have to admit , I was leading towards the other one.But when we got there, Wyatt jumped in Mason's lap and went to sleep.That sealed the deal!He has slept with Mason ever sense.

Our two rescues are such great dogs.It is hard to believe that no one wanted them.We decided that we wanted to help.The more we found out about the rescue organization , and the things that these poor dogs have gone through , it broke out hearts and made us mad.We decided to start with helping in the transports that happen on the weekends.Mason would come with me and wouldn't let me put the dogs in crates.He was covered in drool and hair and loved every minute of it.Then the two big mill busts on Montreal happened.It was hard for me to explain to Mason what was happening.he couldn't understand what someone would not love their dogs to death like we do.We are now a foster home and I help with the phone screening and home visits.
When it was time for his birthday , I asked what he wanted.he wasn't sure , and I said "do you really need more gifts"That's when he decided to ask for donations for Loyal.He even included Grammy and Grampy in his list.The response from his friends,and their parents, was great.Everyone wanted to help.He ended up raising $300..One of his friends who is having his birthday in December is going to ask for donations for Sick Kids hospital.
We are very proud of him , and I think he is proud of himself.

Collar Fundraiser

Help Tyga!!!!

Tyga, our precious little Lhasa Apso had to recently have knee surgery called a cruciate repair. You can donate via paypal using the chip in on the side of this blog!

This unfortunately is major surgery and will require six to eight weeks of bed rest and very little exercise. The surgery was $1516.44 to keep the little guy out of pain and walking. If you can chip in even a few dollars, we would be very grateful for your kindness, as I'm sure Tyga would as well.

And now, a few words from me:
My name is Tyga, and I'm a 4 year old, 27lb, beautiful Lhasa Apso boy. I am looking for new guardians who will commit to taking care of me for the next 10-15 years. I have been a loyal and wonderful companion to my family. Unfortunately I am not comfortable sharing a home with small children. I'm a pretty happy go lucky guy, but am a bit apprehensive when confronted with new people and situations, and I am hoping to find a home where my new people will be keen on helping me work on these things. It's a good thing I'm really food motivated!

My mom and dad are really sad that they have to find a new home for me, they have taken very good care of me, and love me very much. I am so happy to see them when they come home from work. I love to sit on the sofa, and get a good rub, or even better a nice massage. I love to cuddle and relax! I just love my Nylabones too. Being a Lhasa, I will let you know when someone approaches the house. I currently live with another dog, and perhaps would like share my new digs with another pooch if the chemistry is there. If my new people worked part time, or even better worked from home would be fantastic. A home without cats would probably be good, since I have never been exposed to them.

Like all Lhasas, I respond well to positive training methods. Did I mention I was very food motivated? :) If you think I'm the guy for you, fill out an application so we can talk!
