{SPECIAL ALERT - MISSING PUPPY MILL POOCH and FORMER LOYAL FOSTER DOG!!}
Carter, a LOYAL pooch and puppy mill survivor adoption in late May 2012, has gone missing from his forever home in Newcastle, ON. Carter has been missing for days, but we can report that there have been a few sightings in the Mill and King area of downtown Newcastle. Posters have been distributed far and wide and Carter has been listed on Helping Lost Pets.
Carter is a white, 11-pound Bichon-Poodle mix who was lost wearing a brown and gold collar with a blue LOYAL ID tag (shaped like a dog house) and a red rabies tag. Carter will be scared and confused, so please do not chase him. If you spot Carter, please call the number on his LOYAL tag (705-772-4916) so that someone can immediately come to the area.
Search parties are being organized and volunteers have been scouring the area. If you are interested in joining a search, please contact Linda at lstriemer@sympatico.ca for more information. And, of course, if you spot Carter or know of his whereabouts, please immediately contact us at the number above.

{VOTE FOR LOYAL starting JULY 9, 2012!}

{NEW ARRIVALS}
New dogs are arriving weekly into foster care, and once they are ready for adoption they will be posted on our website.

{VOLUNTEERS}
LOYAL can do what LOYAL does because of the amazing volunteers - phone interviewers, home visitors, foster homes, transporters, event organizers, etc. - that work within our organization.
