If you remember before the holidays there were a whole bunch of Huskies rescued and many of them were pregnant. The puppies have all been born and now they are ready to go home!

BARK Rescue has many husky puppies available so if you have room in your family for one more (cute) member, give them a call!

There are only 5 spots left in each store for the Happy Howliday Photos for BARK Rescue. Call the store today!!

Bark & Fitz Westboro’s very own dog walker and community angel extraordinaire, Rolph Almstedt, single-handidly raised $1,170 for the Ottawa Humane Society with the support from Westboro Village folks who are lucky enough to cross paths with Rolph on a regular basis.

According to Rolph, the best part of his day is when he’s walking a dog.

They visit the ‘dog friendly’ stores, shops and grassy church grounds and stop to chat on occasion with fellow dog lovers taking a stroll in the trendy shopping and dining area. Rolph cares for the dogs like they are his own and he extends his love of dogs by helping to raise funds for B.A.R.K. rescue and the Ottawa Humane Society.

For this year’s Woofs & Wags Walkathon for B.A.R.K rescue, he raised over $840–combine that with the Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walkathon pledges and Rolph has a total of over $2000 in donations for two local animal rescue organizations that rely on the Ottawa community’s support. Stella, Molly, Bogart, Prince, and Corduroy (just to name a few) give Rolph two paws up on behalf of all the rescued dogs & cats from local shelters. Thanks to people like him, the OHS and B.A.R.K. get a little help to cover some of their vet bills and operating expenses. If Dog is God spelled backwards then Rolph is an angel in disguise and we are honoured to have him watching over our family pets.

We also think that Rolph deserves a special award for being such a huge part of representing the dogs of Westboro, so we have made him one! Rolph is the official Dog Ambassador of Westboro Village and we are so happy to be presenting him with this award.
