Daisy must think she has died and gone to heaven. Here she is with her favourite pink bear, which she takes with her everywhere. Here’s another with her mom having her first spa bath. We’re pretty sure there were no pink bears or spa baths on the streets of Cairo. Cairo has also changed her new granny’s life by visiting...

Forrest arrived in Toronto covered in a fine dust, hair all matted, and an odour only a mother could love. Once out of the crate, walked, and watered, he jumped into the car apparently all ready for the five-hour drive to Ottawa. Within minutes he was lying with his head on our lap.

Cairo, as you can probably guess, is from the streets of Cairo. This amazing boy has adapted to Canadian life very well.

When Azura arrived at the Toronto airport from Cairo, she would not come out of her crate…she was so frightened. I had to drive her home in her crate, which I placed in my office. I opened the door so she could come out in her own time. By the evening, we were watching TV together on the couch. Each...

Rio was rescued from a terrible life in Cairo but if you ask us, Rio rescued us. His name when he arrived was Cupid, which is fitting because he brought so much love to our family. Our two daughters are in therapy to help with anxiety and ADHD and we all believe that Rio is the best therapy of all....

Our relationship with Stevie truly is a love story. When she arrived in Canada, we gave her the name Stevie but sometimes we’re convinced she thinks her name is ‘Good Girl’. She responds well to either which is great. Her Cairo Golden neighbour Abbey is a constant companion. In fact, if it wasn’t for Abbey, Stevie might not be in...
