New Foxy Services

Boarding and grooming for Foxy dogs

Microchipping

We are pleased to offer introduce our new services that help with our fundraising efforts. Our foster mom, Jeniese, is our official boarder and groomer and Microchipper, the other half of the "Microchip Chicks" for Foxy dogs. By boarding and grooming with Jeniese you are helping to save dogs while making sure your dog is happy and safe while you are away, and all the while looking trimmed and spiffy. Also, have your dog microchipped, ensuring his safety and fast return, should he ever get loose and picked up by animal control or the SPCA.

For those who have adopted Foxy dogs, our foster mom, Jeniese is offering boarding at her home for any Foxy dog whose family is going on vacation or needs a daycare day. Her fee is $15.00 per day, with $5.00 donated to Foxy's, so please feel free to contact her if you have a Foxy dog and would like him/her to be in a home environment while you are away. A boarding contact form will be posted on the Foxy website within the next few days, so be sure to keep checking.

Jeniese will also be offering grooming starting in the in the next couple of weeks for Foxy dogs and non-Foxy dogs. Check the Foxy website in the coming days for more information on dates, times, location and pricing.

All proceeds from Microchipping go Foxy's. $25.00 for rescue dogs with adoption contract, $40.00 non-rescue dogs. In-home service available for extra $10.00 per dog. Discount available for 2nd or more dogs. Check out the Foxy website under Microchip Program and complete the microchip request form.

Jeneise has fostered many of the Foxy dogs you have seen for adoption on our website over the last year and a half. She currently works at a local boarding facility taking care of the dogs and she also works at Hudson Veterinary Hospital where she takes care of the dogs and cats that are staying over after operations etc, and gets the clinic ready for business, in the early hours of the morning before the clinic opens for business. She has two dogs of her own, Benny, adopted from Rosie Animal Adoptions and Ray-Charles a blind Great Dane puppy. You can check out the Bourassa families page on the Foxy website at "Meet Jeniese, Yannick, Emilie and Adrian"
They'd be happy for you to sign their guestbook too.


Give her a call at 450-458-8678 or email her at jeniesebourassa@foxyscaninecompanions.ca to book your boarding for the summer and your grooming appointments.

Spring is in the air

Here are in May already. We took a break during April to re-group and centre ourselves, although not closed completely we did the minimum.

During March we attended the Hudson Pet Fair which was great fun and there is always a good turn out. A lot of the other rescues are there too, including Rosie Animal Adoptions, Animatch, SPCA Monteregie, Greyhound Rescue, Lucky Rescue with their cats. The day just flys by.

Ziggy found his new home at the Pet Fair, his new family had just lost their lab and were ready for a new companion. Ziggy goes to the cottage every week and foster mom and dad Victor and Helene were invited up to visit Ziggy and Howard and Suzanne. They had a great time and Ziggy is doing very well.

Todd and Roxy are still looking for their new homes. Both are fabulous little dogs. I looked after Roxy last weekend while Helene and Victor had a weekend away. Both Todd and Roxy attended our adoption day at the local IGA which is great place to do the adoption clinics. Everyone in the village comes and goes so you get to see people you haven't seen over the winter, its a great social event as well. Roxy was a huge hit as was Todd. Hudson is such a great dog town.

We are, unfortunately, having a couple of returns. Vanille, a little bichon frise, along with her new little furry brother will be returning to the Foxy family and should be posted in the next couple of weeks.

Maxwell returned to us today and is having a blast at the Bourassa family's home with Todd and their two dogs. Maxwell has done a lot of in-home training with the family and with private training and is a super little dog. He was too dominant with the younger son and after speaking with the trainers we took him back this afternoon. He will only be adopted to a family with older children and who have dog experience. I played with him this evening and he is just a great little dog. He will be posted for adoption after we have evaluated him over the next week as he is not showing any signs of dominating with Janiese's kids and had not shown any signs previously with them or their friends.

I saw Daisy, who adopted in February, locally in Hudson at the IGA. She is doing really well, her mom Wanda is very proud of her and takes her everywhere with her, she also joins Wanda when she is giving piano lessons to her students and when she goes riding. She sure lucked out with that home. Plus a couple of friends of mine see her all the time and report back on her during our conversations.

Bumped into Linda and her daughters, Katrina, posted under Goodbye Fritz, about their little papillon Roxy that they adopted from us. It was good see them again and her she is doing well. Also bumped into Johane and her husband who adopted Ralph, a little red cocker spaniel, in 2004. He is also doing great. Johane and her husband fell quite hard for the Bouvier des Flandes that we had with us at the adoption clinic. It's great to see all these people and get good feedback that everyone is doing well. Susan, who adopted Oscar emailed to today and sent us an updated pic of him. Terrific dog, Oscar, really laid back and a big cuddler. It took us while to find him his home, but it was worth the wait.

It was a very hard last two months trying to decide whether to continue or close down, the decision hasn't been completely made yet, but the problem is that when rescue is in you, its very hard to let it go no matter how much you may want to at the time. The time and dedication and support it takes on a daily basis takes its toll on your families and your health, so sometimes you just have to step back a bit and take a breather. I even wrote a final post which is saved as a draft for now until I make a final decision. It took forever to write as the tears wouldn't stop as I was writing it. Yesterday's adoption day was a lot of fun and reminded me why I do this, but then today with the news about Maxwell coming back, I begin to wonder if its time to let it go now.

Anyways for tonight I'll sleep on it again and remember that any number of these dogs would now be dead if we hadn't been there for them ....... but still the doubt is still there. As much as we all do, Rosie's, Animatch, Teddy's, Canada Pet Rescue, Boxer Rescue, Great Dane rescue, and all the others they still keep coming as fast, if not faster than we can adopt them.

Speaking of Great Dane rescue, our foster Jeniese is now the official Quebec representative for Danes in Distress with Foxy's as backup, so if you hear of any danes in distress and needing a home, contact Jim at Danes in Distress and jeniese.bourassa@danesindistress.com or call her at 450-458-8678.
