Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Hello Pupsters! October was a fun month! I got to spend lots of time with one of my hoomans at the University, going to meetings and different areas around the campus. It was very exciting, and I did my best to stay quiet. At one point, I even fell asleep in one of...

Zuby | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I left the nest and came to my Foster parents at 9 weeks on October 17. I say foster because they are helping to raise me until a permanent raiser is found. I settled in nicely, but it took about 2 days. There is another PADS dog at the house named Lumina. We play...

Fawn | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

October didn’t go as planned, friends. I spent almost all month having the time of my life at a sitters house as I went into heat. My timing was impeccable, and going into heat meant my spay date to move onto the next steps got pushed back. Right before I went into...

Ripto | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Goji | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates
