The Toronto Humane Society has been in the front pages lately for allegations of not so humane treatment of the animals under its care. Too bad. But until proven, the THS officers who'd been charged, must be viewed as not guilty.
I was meaning to fetch him but because of new plans, I might not be able to bring him home soon. So, Shadow won't be home for Christmas. But I'm sure Shadow's been receiving TLC from my sis and bro in-law.
Which reminds me of my dog, Shadow. He's been under the care of my sister and brother in-law since late August.

It looks easy on paper or on the screen to transport an animal from one country to another. But I think the difficulty may lie in the country of destination (e.g. Philippines).
I checked the requirements for Air Canada and Northwest, and all they're asking for is the proper kennel. For animals up to 70 lbs, cabin transport is allowed, meaning your pet can travel with you in the same cabin as yours. For pets weighing more than 70 lbs, they would be placed in the baggage compartment.
Air Canada recommends purchasing a kennel from them. And they recommend not feeding the pet four hours before the flight and giving water up until the check in time. Water container must stay inside the kennel and the kennel should remain unlocked.
Date restrictions are also in force. Usually, transporting pets are restricted during the winter months.
Cost for transporting the pet? If in the cabin, about $100 CAD. If in the baggage compartment, about $270 CAD.
What to do with Shadow? I don't want to bring him to the Humane Society. And I don't want him adopted by just anyone.
I have to have a plan in place for Shadow, come spring time.
