Mr Bones:Male (nt'd) G.Shep/Husky (7-8yrs), G.Shep colours & build, Husky happy-dog folded-back ears & semi-dense coat. Here's his sad now happy tale:Mr. Bones was flown from the Clarenville SPCA in Newfoundland & we are privileged to care for this sweet fellow until we can find a permanent home for him. He was seized from his former home due to neglect & he only weighed 38lbs when he first arrived (thus the name). Now he has a new lease on life & he is very appreciative of all the special care he is receiving. He is sweet & loves everyone. He tends to jump up because of the excitement of people paying attention to him but this can easily be corrected. He does not mind cats & loves children, however, due to his jumpiness it may be best if Mr. Bones goes to a home with older children. This guy is a gem.

NOTE: St. Margaret's Bay Animal Hospital often receives abandoned animals. Most are healthy, though some animals abandoned with us have medical problems. We attempt to re-home all the animals abandoned at the hospital but we are selective to ensure they get the best homes possible. All animals that are re-homed are vaccinated, and nt’d. Cats are also Feline Leukemia tested. There is an adoption fee & a short waiting period prior to adoption. To adopt one of our animals, please contact Jennifer for an appointment. Consider: We are a working hospital & it may not be possible to accommodate you without an appointment. At the moment this clinic is FULL of rescued animals in need of good homes. They cannot accept any more & would LOVE to get some adopted. Please call them!
