Good things come to those who wait and, in this case, good means tasty. 

We're so proud to announce that Red Deer's favourite brewery, Troubled Monk, has chosen to collaborate with the Central Alberta Humane Society by creating a beer just for us, and animal-lovers, alike. Introducing 'Raise the Woof' - a Kentucky Common as smooth as it is tasty, much like all the beers we've come to love from the expert brewers at Troubled Monk.

A big thank you to Troubled Monk for supporting our work and contributing this generous donation to our shelter. We couldn't do this without community supporters like you. Little known fact: Kentucky Common has the addition of corn and therefore is lower in gluten! 

For more information please visit: Troubled Monk's Blog Post  

Thank you in advance for your support - we couldn't 'Raise the Woof' without you!

#CAHumaneSociety to spread awareness & to help our animals in care!

Troubled Monk’s hours of operation: 11am - 8pm

Why Senior Animals Make Great Pets

If you are looking to adopt a furry friend, here are a few reasons to consider adopting an older senior pet:

• Senior pets have usually been in the shelter a long time:

As you can probably know, senior animals take longer to be adopted and spend quite a while in shelters. Puppies and Kitties get scooped up pretty quickly. It's a kind gesture to adopt a senior at they are just looking to for a family to love them.

• Senior pets have lots of love to give:

Their love is unconditional and so many memories are waiting to get made. They are just looking for companionship and are ready for hiking, walks and lots of snuggles. 

• Already house trained:

Skip the step of chewing on house furniture and cleaning up after accidents, your older pet will already have this down, will sleep through the night, so no need to stress!

• Easier introductions:

They are usually mellower and can more easily be introduced to other pets and settle into new environments with more ease. They have already grown into their personality, so there won’t be any surprises.

• It feels good!

You can be a hero to a deserving animal. They are much wiser, know the rules and are always aiming to please their owner.  -  it really does make you feel good adopting a harder-to-adopt pets.

It really does take a special person to adopt a pet knowing that you might not have as long of time with them as you like, but they need your help and are just as deserving and you will be the love of their life.
