“They are both putting on weight, love to snuggle and be petted, and they are getting used to humans, cats, and other dogs,” she said. Absolutely heartbreaking.”Īfter transporting the dogs to the North Island Veterinary Clinic, Laviolette was happy to announce that Bear and Tiger are now doing amazing. She noted the Tri-Port Wildlife Response Team works so fiercely to help save animals, and it hurt their hearts having to see “two dogs in distress who were in rough shape, severely malnourished, emaciated, skittish. “All we knew at the time was that the dogs were picked up from a remote island and that they were alone and starving but had been rescued.” “Social media posts went up, every water taxi that services that area was called for quotes, networking with anyone who we knew who might know anything about the dogs circumstances, trying to identify them in all neighbouring resorts, villages, communities,” confirmed Laviolette. Laviolette and Tognela immediately sprung into action.
“Merrilee Tognela got the call from the Mountain Avian Rescue Society (MARS) about the dogs asking if we could we assist.” “I was heading down island to go search for a separate missing dog from a small shipwreck and to help clean up debris from the boat,” Laviolette said.
Tri-Port Wildlife Response Team member Jill Laviolette was first alerted about the dogs on Dec. MOWI then graciously donated time and fuel to bring the dogs, who have now been named Bear and Tiger, into the Englewood dock by Dave Legault to meet a volunteer and animal foster mom, Kim Leonard Murphy. In the process, their own boat actually beached due to the amount of time it took to earn the dogs trust, but they were able to get out safely and then headed back to camp.ĭue to the incredible work of Podlasly, St Pierre and Riley, the dogs were brought back to their salmon farm camp where they were cared for by the group for three days and two nights. They then travelled over to the island to get a better look, and spent a total of five hours trying to earn the dogs trust while coaxing them onto their boat. They continued to watch them for a moment before suddenly realizing they were two starving and emaciated dogs. Krystyna Podlasly, Dalynn St Pierre, and Ashley Riley were boating by the remote island, which is located in the Johnstone Strait region of the Central Coast, when they noticed two animals walking along the shore, thinking they were simply wolves at first. Two young dogs were rescued last week from Minstrel Island by three MOWI salmon farm employees. Jill Laviolette hanging out with Bear and Tiger.
