Great with all people he has met – movers at the home, people at work
Travelled great in the car from his pick-up in Quebec to KAH

Now on my way to meet up with his emerge temp foster home Judy in Westport. She will then bring him to her home in Kingston. Thank you again so much Judy, Ron & BHRR’s Peanut for stepping up so we could save him! 

I have a new leash for him from my stash and a gently used collar for him for a new beginning.

I am told he loves water so he is going to adore Judy’s place! 

If anyone would like to donate to his mounting Vet Bills, you can call Kanata Animal Hospital directly at 613-836-2848 – he has an account ‘Bear’ under the Birch Haven Rescue account.
