Half Way Home Rescue

Another beautiful day in one of the best places to live on earth ...a little cloudy due to smoke but nevertheless we are blessed to live here in Alberta and Canada. We also need to think and feel for the families and the many animals running for their lives in northern Alberta because of the fires. Our hearts and our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Yesterday we got a call from a friend who cares deeply about animals -- and in the past we have taken in the ones she and her family have rescued. Mavis called us yesterday that a friend of hers who works in a camp in High Level had come across five 4-5 week old puppies - they had no mom. Her friend carefully gathered up the puppies and called Mavis for help. Mavis called us. We called our friends at Sundance Animal Rescue to see if they had foster families and room to take in these five little orphans. There was no hesitation and last night, close to midnight, Jan drove from St. Albert to Spruce Grove to meet Mavis and her friend who brought the puppies from High Level, after a long, long tiring drive.

Jan kept the pups overnight and today they were placed in a foster home. None of this would have happened without a team of selfless compassionate animal advocates. We thank everyone who made the rescue happen.

Welcome to Half Way Home Rescue...we hope to showcase our many cats and kittens that are in our care; and those of other rescues too. We want to keep this page as positive as possible - to highlight the beauty of our animals; the dedication of foster families and the incredible support from our volunteers and especially the many stores and pet food suppliers that help us to look after so many unwanted, abused, abandoned and neglected animals as well as those that are surrendered to us. To everyone and our Facebook Friends.... we will start this new page by saying THANK YOU.

Our first story is about a lady who called to surrender her kittens because she thought the mother cat had been killed, We took 2, and a third one was at the Parkland Animal Shelter. A day later we got a call that the mother cat had not been killed but in fact she came home, a little battered but in good health. Now she had no kittens ....and they were crying for their mom. .After a few conversations and a couple of text messages the lady who owned the mother cat and handed her over to us to care for the 3 kittens. Our promise to this lady is to allow her to look after her little ones; and then when they are weened Mom Cat will be spayed, vaccinated, and micro chipped by Half Way Home Rescue as a thank you for her allowing her good conscience to rule her heart.
