A very special thank you to the staff and patrons of Bins and Bins. This year the North Bay Children's Aide and All Heart Pet Rescue were presented with more gifts for the children and animals than we have ever had.

Not only are we grateful for all that you've done, but also your true kindness at Christmas time. All of you certainly do know the true meaning of Christmas.

Also, special thanks for everyone in the store for giving up such a large space for all our stuff!!

Happy New Year

 

 Dan Ross has been an essential part of helping the dogs at All Heart Pet Rescue.. Dan committed two years to the rescue coming aprox 4 days per week. He is a Certified Trainer that helped many dogs to learn how to be a better dog! Dan has moved to Nova Scotia and is doing dog training full time now. Dan has adopted my sweet boy Magnus which was an orphaned German Shepherd that I nursed from 10 days of age.  Best of luck to you Dan! We appreciate everything you've done.

Adam and Madison Jeanneault, two of my precious children. They've spent countless hours socializing, 'child testing', loving, and helping to care for the animals. Mom is very proud of you both!

Matt is the eldest of my three children. He is a wonderful kid that certainly has done a lot of hard work around here since he was a little boy. Im very proud of Mathieu and the difference he has made.

Jean and Reg Stone of the Dawgs Den and Canadian Hound Rescue has been an essential part of seeing that dogs get from one rescue to another. Jean has traveled countless miles at her own expense to help save dozens of animals and bring them to All Heart Pet Rescue.

Kari Van Mierlo of Precious Paws Doggie Daycare Inn  was once a very shy young girl that worked for two years as an employee of Bear Creek Kennels. She spent most of her time researching dogs and cats as a child therefore came to our place with much knowledge. Kari has adopted a kitty from All Heart Pet Rescue a few years ago. Kari has spent a lot of time doing fundraising, being an animal advocate, purchasing pet supplies and helping with the animals at All Heart.

Chessa and Talia Sabourin have been a wonderful help at the rescue. They spent one year while doing home schooling with their mother coming out to the rescue and cleaning, socializing, grooming  and helping the rescue in general. They are a great bunch of animal lovers. The girls along with their mother Tina and their father "Sab" have adopted a dog and a cat with three kittens from our rescue program.

Volunteers out on a Sunday Open House

Cheri Grant "The Cat Lady" (left) and Leah Wood both of South River are regulars at All Heart Pet Rescue on a Sunday morning. Cheri can always be found in the cat room not only cleaning but loving the animals as well. Cheri has done and given many things to All Heart. She's a real sweet lady, a hand made wall unit first aid kit, ceiling fans, numerous pet supplies and cleaners and two "twin seating" Bear Chairs! Cheri has adopted three cats from All Heart Pet Rescue

Leah Wood comes with her mother and sister and they float all over the rescue seeing that all animals have been properly taken care of. Leah and her family adopted a black Labrador retriever named Kobe from All Heart Pet Rescue.

Andrea Mantha  a veteran to All Heart Pet Rescue has done many things for us She's found homes for some of our dogs, transported dogs to and from Toronto Ont, done fundraising, purchased dog/cat supplies. Andrea also adopted the late Kodiak (Chow x Pom) from me several years ago.

Arlette Wood has been coming out with her two girls and Cheri Grant for almost a year now. She has obviously done a lot of dirty work around the pet rescue. Arlette isn't ever apprehensive to do any task that we've challenged her with. She has donated so many items to the pet rescue its incredible. Pet supplies, pet food, cleaners, ceiling fans, and lots of love. Arlette and her family adopted Kobe a black Labrador retriever puppy from All Heart last year.

Brenda Moffat (left) and Mary Rousseau (right) have both been Foster Kitty Momma's to many cats. Brenda has taken on some of the toughest cases that I've had. Kittens that were orphaned or about to die and she's brought them back to life. She has also donated numerous pet supplies, food, lumber :), and vet visits for All Heart Pet Rescue. Special thanks to Brenda's husband Chris for being supportive to Brenda and the pet rescue as well. Brenda and Chris have adopted a very sweet one eyed kitten that was on his death bed twice! He is now big, healthy and very well loved!

Mary has been employed with Bear Creek Kennels since August of 2003. She originally began as a volunteer that certainly worked up a sweat when she cleaned out our barn one summer. Mary has taken in five foster cats in total and found homes for all of them. Two of them with her brother and three of them with her. She is not allowed to foster anymore cats because she keeps them all!!!  :)

Miranda Wood is the daughter of Arlette Wood. She is a dog lover. She and her sister come each Sunday to help clean, walk and feed the dogs. They can be seen walking in the pet rescue with a bag of treats in their hands. No wonder the dogs love them so much!! Special thanks to Miranda for all your help.

Dennis King is like a step father to me. He has supported me and my efforts for over eight years now. He has been encouraging, and very positive. Dennis  (and his wife Carolyn) is the man that purchased all of the lumber for the All Heart Pet Rescue shelter building to be built. He has also picked up truck loads of dog food for me throughout the years.  Dennis has adopted a St Bernard mix through me five years ago, and also a cat or two :)  Thank you for being so kind.

Amy Dunn is a great girl with a wealth of dog knowledge. She was a volunteer of mine that did her College placement with the pet rescue aprox four years ago. She knows how to work hard and is very efficient in what she does. Amy adopted a black lab/ shepherd from All Heart Pet Rescue. We miss you Amy!

Hugh MacDonald is like a grandfather to my children. A true inspiration. Hugh is a man that never stops. I truly believe that he's spent more of his life helping others than helping himself. He is a very unselfish person that will always make sure that a job gets done! His organizational skills cant be beat by anyone either! Hugh pounded the pavement for days on end when we began our fundraising. He got donations from old friends down south, former colleagues in the USA and friends and neighbors from around North Bay. At one time he was also known as the trench digger around here. I'm very proud of this guy and how hard he works. He's almost 70 years old and works harder than some 40 year old people I know.

Louise Sunstrum, Hugh MacDonald, Dennis King.

Russell Turner has been the great handy man at All Heart Pet Rescue. I met Russell at one of our Open Houses in the winter time of '05 and he volunteered his services. He's fixed walls in the shelter, put in trap doors, made all the dog kennel doors in the rescue area, and fostered a couple of very sick dogs from All Heart. If any of you remember the emaciated black lab x named Max, Russell is the man that brought him back to life and adopted him to be his forever companion. Russell has also adopted Comet a yellow lab mix from All Heart Pet Rescue.

Wayne Stickland adopted a beautiful yellow Labrador named Maddy from me almost two years ago. Since then Wayne has been a foster dad for the day for a few dogs, taking them out to the beach or just socializing a timid dog that needed time spent with them. In April Wayne did a transport from Toronto to North Bay for All Heart. Two dogs named Buddy and Holly were in need of rescue so Wayne got them safely to me. They have both been adopted by wonderful homes. Special thanks Wayne!

Shawn Hand pictured with Abbie the rescued Newfie he got from All Heart Pet Rescue.
Shawn has been coming to the pet rescue with his wife Amanda for several months now. He is a real good guy that never seems to get upset, no matter who is chewing his head (or hand) off! Special thank you for all your help Shawn.

Amay Lucenti is a very special 8 year old girl. She is the daughter of Terry Lucenti. Amay is an animal lover that will do anything she can to make the animals happy. Thank you so much for all your help honey!

Cindy Grant has adopted a beautiful black Labrador retriever from All Heart at 9 years of age. Boyd is a very lucky dog!  She and her family have also adopted a kitten and an adult  cat as well. Cindy has contributed many items to the pet rescue that have helped very much. She is an assertive gal that certainly makes sure a job gets done. Thank you Cindy for all your help!

Louise and I met last August when the pet rescue was being erected. She has not only been a very hard worker on the job site, at fundraising events, and in my office..... but also an incredible friend. She is a very kind hearted, unselfish person that has taken over my book keeping chores, and has also gotten me on track to being more organized!!!! Louise was at one time a foster parent to All heart pet rescue until of course she adopted the little critter. She is the mom of Willow the lab/Weimeraner mix that came from Quinte Humane society in Belleville Ont. Thank you for everything Louise!

Jeff Barronette has done his high school co op placement with All Heart Pet Rescue since January of 2005. He has been an essential part of the rescue organization since then. Jeff will continue with part time employment with Bear Creek Kennels during the summer of 2005. Jeff and his family have adopted a very sweet kitten from All Heart Pet Rescue.

Mary Munn is a lady that has transported many dogs and cats to All Heart Pet Rescue from New Liskeard over the years. Many animals have been given a better chance at life because of Mary's hard work. Mary has adopted an older Torti cat from All Heart Pet Rescue many years ago.

Thanks for all you do Mary!

Dawn Hodgkinson, the original "Cat woman" a very dear friend to me. Dawn has worked  with me for years when All Heart first began. She dedicated countless hours volunteering and trying to improve things around here. Even though she has moved onto Ottawa she continues to help needy cats all around, and we keep in very close contact.  Dawn has been an absolute inspriation to me.
