Peak's Pets Of The Week

The Northwest Animal Shelter Society's goal has been to build an animal shelter to assist animals in our area. We are located in north central BC, where there are few services offered for animals, and our climate is often harsh - abandoned animals can lead a short and cruel life.http://www.refresheverything.ca/northernbcanimalshelter

If you're thinking about an addition for your family, we have the "purr-fect" solution! Join Marisca Dekkema every Wednesday at 4:20 when she introduces The Peak's Pet's of the Week. A different dog and cat from the Northwest Animal Shelter Society will be featured every week. She will chat with a shelter volunteer, and post pictures on thepeak.ca. You can see the dog of the week live in the studio by logging onto our sky net webcam feed. To get more details visit www.nwas.ca! The Peak's pets of the week are brought to you by the pet-friendly people at Dog Digs in Telkwa!

The Northwest Animal Shelter is a non-profit animal rescue group with cats and dogs of all ages looking for loving homes. You can visit their website at nwas.ca and look under animals in need. Donations to the shelter can be made at any Bulkley Valley Credit Union location. Help do your part to stop animal over population now! Please have your pet spayed or neutered.

This week will be the last week for our Peak Pet of The Week Feature for this year. The NWAS will be doing a re-cap on some of the other animals available for adoption in the shelter before Christmas.

Christian is a 5 month old white kitten with a tabby overlay.  He has been neutered, vaccinated and revolutioned, and is ready to go to a new home.  If you are interested in this friendly kitty, please contact info@nwas.ca

Reminder to all dog owners: Proper identification helps ensure that your dog can make its way home in the case of theft, loss, or other emergency situations. If your dog is spayed or neutered you can get an ID tag from the Town of Smithers for $15.00. Tags are one of the easiest and cheapest methods of identification and helps reunite you and your pet quickly - often avoiding a trip to the pound. Be sure to include your name, address, and phone number on the tag. By adding your cell phone number as well, you can even be reached if you are out of the house. If you travel or move, be sure to update the information or use temporary tags.
