January 16, 2025 | 
Author Benji, Male, Labradoodle, 1.5 years old, 78 lbs.

Benji is a special dog. He is one of three boys who were dumped and it took a while before they could be secured. He was the little brother of the bunch and is still very shy. But he is also sweet, gentle and sensitive.
A fenced yard is a must for Benji to enjoy his favourite pastimes of running and playing, preferably with another dog or two. He loves other dogs of all shapes and sizes. Benji will do well in a home with a canine companion or two to help his confidence and trust grow.

Benji has come a long way since arriving at his foster home. He is house and crate trained. Benji feels secure in his crate, where he will take treats and enjoy being petted. He’s still unsure of accepting treats and pets outside of his crate. Benji travels well but would greatly prefer to stay home. He finds traffic noise terrifying. A rural environment or quiet residential area would suit him best.
Benji is looking for a true rescuer—someone who will take the time to allow Benji to bond and learn that humans aren’t scary. This person will know Benji is worth the wait and that the journey will be rewarding.

Benji has been neutered, microchipped, and his vaccinations are up to date. The adoption fee for Benji is $600.00.

CATS FOR SENIORS
Home Again expands its services to include one for seniors who want the companionship of a cat but want to ensure the cat will have a home if the cat outlives the senior person.
The senior pays no adoption fee because he/she would take a Home Again cat that would otherwise not be adopted because of the cat’s age or unsocial nature.
The senior would pay for the cat’s food, litter and veterinary care, for life. If the senior passes away before the cat, Home Again brings the cat back into the program available for the next senior.
This program would allow Home Again to save so many cats that need to be re-homed because their owner died or went into a nursing home and the cat is used to a quiet home without any other pets. Adult cats are difficult to re-home because they like what they are accustomed to. If a cat lives without other cats, they strongly object to re-homing into a house with cats.
All Home Again fosters have other cats, so soloist cats cannot be fostered by Home Again. This program is a winner for many needy cats, seniors, and the people who must help seniors settle their affairs.
CONTACT US if you need a cat to love or you need to re-home a senior cat into a like-home.
Bake Sale March 23, 2024
Volunteers raised over $1900 selling baked goods and gently used pet accessories at the Bancroft Village Playhouse.
All money goes to the animals because there are no salaries paid and no shelter to pay for.
Pets are fostered in volunteers’ homes until they are adopted.
Wagging tails are gratitude enough for volunteers. The huge support of the Bancroft community is icing on the cake.
Thank you Bancroft!
Karina Vega and Christine Walker manned the pet accessories booth.
Some available-for-adoption Great Pyrenees puppies delighted shoppers with free kisses.

Bonnie – PENDING
Bonnie, female, Beagle/X, 14 weeks old, 15 lbs
This fun, outgoing little girl is Bonnie and she loves everyone even the vet. Bonnie is also a brave and curious little pup. She is great with all the other dogs in her foster home and is very respectful of the dog savvy cat in her foster home. Bonnie is house trained and crate trained. We estimate she will be a small to medium size dog at maturity

Bonnie could do well in a variety of homes as long as they can give her the time, attention and exercise that a growing pup will need.
If you can give Bonnie the love and attention that she needs and deserves you will have a great canine companion.

The adoption fee for Bonnie is $650. There will be an $100 rebate when we receive proof that Bonnie has been spayed at 6 months or when your vet recommends.
Bonnie has been vet checked, vaccinations are up to date and she is microchipped.
For more information or to inquire about adopting Bonnie, please email Home Again at info@homeagainbancroft.ca

Happy Tales: Otis
Click to Enlarge
Home Again displayed kittens at the Maynooth Christmas 2023 Market where Otis was adopted by Barb and Clayton, who report this about him:
“Otis has found a wonderful place in our home and having him is such a joy. He is so playful and rambunctious and has such an adventurous personality. He is always getting into things and following us or our other cats around. He really enjoys watching the fish and hamsters through the glass as well as

getting into any spot he can such as the cupboard, the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, the empty mop bucket, the closet, inside Christmas presents while we are trying to wrap them, in bags or boxes, in shoes, he has fallen into the toilet several times no matter how many times we put the toilet seat down, in the trash can, even in the fridge every time it is opened. So we always keep an eye out, ha-ha.

“He is a small ball of mischief for sure! He loves playing with the other cats and even the dogs. Our elderly cat Tommy is not too interested in play, so they just cuddle. He loves toys so our house is covered in cat toys – feather ones, string ones, cat balls and bells. He loves treats and raw meats like venison and fish from the lake. He likes frosting too and is always trying to sneak some when we aren’t looking (he’s not very successful).
He likes to sit in windows and watch the birds.
“Overall Otis has been such a wonderful addition to our little family and he has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. He sleeps in our bed and naps in our laps. He is growing into such a beautiful cat and we enjoy seeing his little personality develop in our new year!”
Who is more entertaining – kittens or puppies?
Happy Tales: Kimmy
Kimmy was adopted by first-time cat owners Ally and Dylan, who, on day two after adoption, say:
“Thank you so much for making this adoption such a smooth process! Kimmy has settled in wonderfully. Cozy, eating and drinking, using her litter box, and sleeping/playing! She sleeps soundly after we brush that long hair.”
Kimmy’s birth mother walked away from her. Lucky she was near the home of fosters extraordinaire Bev and Art. 
Lucky again that they had a lactating mother cat inside who took in Kimmy with her own two kittens and fed and raised the three of them in that foster home. Bev named her “Lucky”, now known as Kimmy.
Maynooth Market 2023
Chris Hass invited Home Again to her Maynooth Market Saturday December 9, 2023.
She understands that Home Again adoption fees alone do not cover veterinary expenses and food for the many dogs and cats in foster care, so fundraising is necessary to continue this important work. Joanne Freeman, baker extraordinaire, made pies for purchase. Donated pet-related merchandise was purchased by Christmas shoppers.
Volunteers Rosemary Dixon and Clasina Weese manned the booth in the morning. Bev Guthrie, Pat Drummond and Lynn Taylor did the afternoon shift.
Kittens were available for adoption (one was adopted)..
