This is Phoenix. She arrived at her rescue with an uncomfortable case of double cherry eye. With your help, we were able to cover the surgery she needed. Best of all, she found her forever home at her very first adoption event, within just 24 hours of moving into foster care ❤️‍🩹

An update on Gus, Oct 22, 2026. Gus had a follow-up appointment with his veterinary team today and he’s recovering well! On Oct 13th, Gus had surgery to remove a bladder stone. The surgery was successful and he has responded well to his post-surgery care plan.

Not one more Data Centre in Canada, until, at minimum, every single indigenous community has reliable, potable water!

Big data centres could mean big power bill hikes for Nova Scotians and risking to our natural resources. Yet the Tim Houston government green lit a data centre with no legislation or regulation to protect Nova Scotians or our province. Take action: nsndp.ca/datacentres

Look. Just because there’s no paywall on this doesn’t mean you have to read about a likely assault and forcible removal of two grandmothers from an EverWind announcement event. You shouldn’t share it either.
