2 Beer Puppies down - 7 to go!

The first 2 Beer Puppies flew to safety outside of On-Scario last night.  

 Leffe headed to catch her flight out of Toronto.

Checking in!

They were welcomed on the East Coast by our volunteers and their new families!  Congrats and Happy Adoption Day Moretti and Leffe!  We can't wait for updates ♥

Happy to get out of their crates.  Saying goodbye.

 7 more to go.  To find out how you can help, click HERE

SoooOOOooouper MoooOOOooose!

The focus is terrible (sorry) but this is a VERY good example of Moose's personality! He's animated, spunky and vocal (but in a cute way)! We can't BELIEVE his forever family hasn't found him yet - LOVE this dog!!!!

Puppy Party!!!

A huge thanks to our wonderful foster homes for adjusting their weekend schedules to accomodate getting their foster monsters to the vet to get UTD on vacines!

It was a bit of gong show, but all the kids are now fully vacinated and ready to be shipped to their forever homes on the East Coast.

Here are a few teaser pictures...you can see the rest on our fan page - HERE

Exporting a Fugitive

We're ready to start sending Beer Puppies to their forever homes in NS, but we need your help.

Please let us know if you (or someone you know) are traveling from ON (London, Hamilton, Toronto) to NS (Halifax) and can take a pooch with you.

All you have to do is make a quick call to the airline (Air Canada or West Jet) with the crate dimensions/weight and tack on the "cargo" to your ticket (we cover the costs).

We meet you at the airport with the pooch, do the check in/inspection with them, and then when you arrive in NS a volunteer meets you/the dog there!

We do everything! You just travel as normal, and maybe add a few extra minutes on either end of the trip for formalities.

If this is something you might be willing to do, email us with travel dates/times.
