It was a snowy, windy morning when Dave went out to start up the TG Bus for today’s run to Burns Lake. But he wasn’t worried – he has 4 brand new snow tires!! Arctic Blizzards no less the best ones too. Today is spay day for Gracie and Sugar Plum. Both have new families waiting for them – both on the Island too. Thank you Bev of Second Chances for facilitating their adoptions – you rock – big time!
Gracie is Moe and Curly’s mom. They don’t look like her at all!
Sugar Plum is the sweetest, neediest little girl! A treasure for someone looking for a lap dog.
Spay day is inevitably pound pick up day too! Today was no exception. Turtle Gardens welcomes a nameless but oh so very nice, well trained, obedient, excellent in the vehicle, smart, good with other dogs chow mix!!
And today is also PET of the Week day at Abbotsford Today! They have an awesome Pets section – where TG writes a column weekly and you have to read Sagacious Sadie too. Check them out!
And Jean wrote an awesome story for King!! You can read it on her blog – a wonderful wonderful write up – Lucky TG and King to have such support. Thank you Jean!
©Turtle Gardens Animal Rescue Society. Have your pet spayed or neutered today.
Oh what a great write-up about King on Jean’s blog – we’re all rooting for you big boy. We hope your
“happily ever after” will come real soon!

I loved your story in the Abbotsford paper as well as the other pet stories.
Hopefully that will generate more attention for adoptions.
Until I started reading your blogs and rescuing all the cats I have, I absolutely had no idea how severe animal abandonment was as well as the huge numbers of strays.
Some people should be ashamed of themselves. Shouldn’t they??
I also thought all people knew to spay and neuter, I mean if you love animals, isn’t that what you are supposed to do.
I just assumed all people thought like me and Loved Animals.
It makes me very sad knowing there are so many in need of homes, so many out in the cold with no bedding or food, so many neglectful human beings.
But now I know and I will keep my eyes open always for some lost animals, unfed, or even out in the cold with no shelter.
I drive by often to check out dog’s yards, are they sheltered? Do they look skinny?
I feel for you at Turtle Gardens, as you pick up where other humans did not, you find homes for these poor unloved pets and strays. fix there wounds and their souls.
I hope things get easier one day for you.
You have tons of happy stories but I can’t help but be angry at the other people!!!!!!
Congratulations on your ongoing adoptions. Those are truly happy stories.

Jeans story on King brought tears. Although allwergies keep King from our home I pray he finds his forever home very very soon.
You people do such wonderfull work and there are so many needy animals out there!
When will irrisponsible owners start getting it into thier heads that spay/neuter is the most loving thing you can do for your pet and if you can’t afford that then you can’t afford the pet.
