A Chance Animal Rescue Inc.

This is wonderful news. Oreo - aka Kevin - has a home on a horse ranch with an acre of fenced area just for he and his new housemate, Peanut, to run and play straight out of the house they live in. It was meant to be and Kevin is one of two dogs instead of multiple dogs at the Rescue. Not many people are willing to take in a deaf dog but these are very special people and we have visited twice to find Kevin happy, trim, and actually walking on a leash. His next excitement is to be taken out to check on the cows on the property. We are so happy for the little fellow as life at the Rescue could be intimidating at times and dangerous as Kevin insisted on attacking the wrong dogs. Happy life, Kevin.

Wonderful news, Tia has a home with a couple who lost their furbaby three months ago. Tia is living the life with free run of the home, an inground pool on a deck overlooking a private lake, and a "man cave" Tia can hang out in at her leisure. A true diva now.

Something I did not know.

Another email..... Dear Kismutt, On January 26, 2017 we purchased a French bulldog from a lady we thought was a breeder in Newmarket, Ontario, off of Kijiji. ...When my daughter arrived, she was greeted by Oksana Medvedev and a female French bulldog that Oksana said was the pup’s mom. Oksana Medvedev, seemed to answer all the questions my daughter had for her and all seemed good. Oksana Medvedev, told my daughter that this was her last puppy of the litter. We named the little guy, Eddie, which we fell in love with him immediately. He was so little, only 4.3lbs. I took him to my vet’s shortly after we got him and I was told he had a heart murmur; but was reassured that heart murmurs can go away on their own, generally within a year. I contacted the breeder Oksana Medvedev, she seemed to be very caring and concerned when I told her. She offered me another puppy but I said no because the vet told me that it could go away and we had already fallen in love with him. Oksana Medvedev, persisted that I take her up on the 30 day free pet insurance so they would cover any pet bills that may occur with him. I told her that I was not interested, as I have never purchased insurance in the past for any of my animals. I also said the insurance would do me no good now because he has already been diagnosed with the heart murmur. Oksana, said for me to ask my vet to change the date on when Eddie was diagnosed so the insurance will cover Eddie’s heart condition. I told her I would not do this, as that was fraud. So, over the next year, I continued to send her pictures of Eddie showing her how well he is fitting in with our family and how loved he is. At Eddie’s yearly vet visit, my vet suggested that we take him to see a cardiologist because he still had the heart murmur. I called Oksana, and told her that I was now taking him to see a cardiologist and was told it would cost roughly $1,000, which she offered to pay for half. I was so shocked of her offer and thought, what a good breeder. She also told me to call her after his appointment to update her. March 2017, my daughter and I took Eddie to Toronto Veterinary Emergency Hospital to see the cardiologist to find out how severe his heart murmur is. Turns out that it’s a Grade 4/5, which is severe. The cardiologist did reassure us that it’s a good thing Eddie is a smaller French bulldog so there’s not much strain on his heart. He said that Eddie’s heart murmur is genetic, he was born with this. I was told that his breeder would have known about this when she sold him to our family. When my daughter picked Eddie up from Oksana, she was given a vet report stating he was healthy; nowhere on it, did it say he had a heart murmur. She was also given a hand written note from Oksana, stating Eddie was healthy. When I left the cardiologist, I called Oksana on my Bluetooth. I explained to her what the cardiologist said and I said, he said that Eddie was born with this, did you know he had the heart murmur? She said, he said it was a minor heart murmur and he didn’t know if it would go away. I responded to her with, my question to you now is, why would you sell me a puppy knowing full well he had a heart murmur? She said that I knew he had a heart murmur and refused a puppy exchange because I was already use to him. I then asked her why she didn’t tell my daughter he had a heart murmur when she picked him up and that she should have disclosed that he had a heart murmur to us? The line went dead. She hung up on me and refused to answer any of my calls after that. After trying to reach Oksana multiple times, with no answer, I started getting real suspicious of her. That night, I pulled the card out of my dash cam to see if our conversation was recorded, which it was. I now had her admitting she knew about his heart murmur when she sold him to me. I called her vet’s office the next day, the one that was on the letter head of the report she gave my daughter. They emailed it to me right away, and the first thing I noticed, was it said right there, twice, heart murmur. I compared the two reports and that’s when I realized that the report Oksana gave us was completely different. The report she gave us, the parts where it said heart murmur was not there at all. I was quite upset at this point. I immediately sent her a text, explaining all the evidence that I had in regards to her knowing and how she re-wrote the vet report she gave us. I told her that I wanted all the money I paid for Eddie, and the full amount of the cardiologist bill. I told her to e-transfer the amount by the end of the day and if I didn’t hear back from her, that I would be taking legal action against her. As I figured, she didn’t respond back to me so I started gathering all the evidence to submit with my claim against her. I filed a small claims court suit against her on April 13, 2018, made an appointment to see a puppy, so I knew she would be home to serve her the court papers. After serving Oksana, I proceeded to the police station, gave them the evidence I had so they could investigate my claims. My youngest daughter and I were interviewed right away. A few days later, Oksana’s vet was called in for an interview and verified that the report I was given, was not his original report. His report said that the puppy has a heart murmur. He noted it twice on his report when he examined the puppy. Oksana, was then charged with forgery and uttered a forged document. Oksana, had 20 days to respond to my claim, which she failed to do, so 21 days later I went back to the courthouse and put her in default. A court date was set 4 days later, which she did not attend. I was awarded the full amount I was asking for. That afternoon I was contacted by a paralegal representing Oksana and asked if we could basically start over. I contacted a lawyer and was advised that the courts would likely grant her request. To save time and money, I agreed. This opened everything up and things started to get messy. I had to get myself a lawyer. This whole time, Oksana has never denied not knowing about Eddie’s heart murmur OR rewriting the vet report. Oksana’s, criminal charges were eventually dropped and she agreed to a one year peace bond to stay away from my daughter and myself. She also had to pay restitution to me which she did already. My trial date was set to start on November 4, 2019. The courts heard on my behalf, my vet who first saw Eddie and diagnosed him with a heart murmur, Eddie’s cardiologist, and also Oksana’s vet. Day one was adjourned for the day and the next court date was to my family testimony. While waiting for another court date, the judge retired, which means the trial has to start from the beginning again. May 4 & 5, 2020 was set to start again but COVID19 hit and has delayed everything. I was featured on "The National" on October 10, 2020 and told my story. I then was on a podcast called Puppy Scammers, on October 21, 2020. We need to get our stories out there to stop these puppy mills, puppy brokers and puppy scammers. We have to stop supporting them!!! Debbie Port Perry, Ontario

SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST? Definitely longer than a year! According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Sc...hultz, Ph.D. Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions. What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)? Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds: Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001). Severe and fatal adverse reactions include: Susceptibility to infections. Neurological disorders and encephalitis. Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression. Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001) SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST? According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz: Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines: Distemper- 7 years by challenge Parvovirus 7 years by challenge Adenovirus 7 years by challenge Canine rabies 3 years by challenge The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems! What’s a titer test? A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet. It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination. Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE! According to Dr. Dodds: Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance. Want more on titer testing?
