While February is dental health month for pets, it should be front and center all year long – just like with humans!

Here at SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, we are spreading the love for our shelter animals this February!

Here at SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, we ended 2024 with the birth of nine beagle puppies in one of our amazing foster homes, and then started off 2025 with a bang, and the birth of three lab mix puppies in another amazing foster home.

Going into the holidays, we had seven senior cats (all between the ages of nine and 14 years old) looking for their new retirement homes after their owners had either passed away, or had moved into assisted living facilities.

At the end of November, two beagles were relinquished to our shelter; a two-year-old male and a one and a half-year-old female who was very pregnant.

Another year has come to a close here at SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, and we wanted to share some highlights with our amazing and supportive community

Here at SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, we wanted to share some helpful holiday hints to help keep your furry family members safe during the festivities. From food and flowers to electronics and the decorated Christmas tree, there are potential hazards everywhere to avoid an emergency vet visit.

Here at SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, we get asked many questions. Some are easy, like “How do you not take every animal home?!”

Timber and Roxy were a pair of beagles whose owner bred them and then realized she couldn’t afford to keep them.

SHAID Tree Animal Shelter is all decked out for the holidays and all our resident pets are hoping to find their forever homes.

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Daisy and Diesel, two six-year-old Doberman/beagle mixes, who were abandoned by their owner when they moved out of province.

One of SHAID Tree Animal Shelter’s biggest annual fundraisers is our Firefighters for Felines calendars.

Oct. 30, we received a phone call from a woman who was on our animal intake waiting list. She wanted to update us on a kitten born to a feral mom in a barn. She said his head was swollen, he couldn’t walk, and his mom had taken the rest of his siblings and moved, leaving him cold and hungry.

Daisy and Diesel are two six-year-old canine siblings who, up until very recently, lived with their owner in Springfield, Lunenburg County.

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that attacks and weakens the immune system of cats. Historically, cats who tested positive for the virus were euthanized upon diagnosis, however, thanks to modern day research it’s now understood that FeLV positive cats can live normal, healthy and happy lives with the potential of a shortened life span.

We are nearing the end of October, and it is safe to say this will again be
