Long Term Foster Homes Need for Cats

The Richmond Animal Protection Society is looking for some people to open their homes to some senior cats that required long-term foster care. These beautiful and loving cats simply require a safe and warm home, and RAPS will pay veterinarian costs whiles the cats are in foster care. Please contact RAPS at 604-275-2036 for more information.

My favorite dog walking places in Richmond, BC

I have two dogs at home that suggest we go for walks at least twice a day (often more). I have to keep them interested, so here's where we go.

McDonald Beach -- located by YVR airport, this is an off leash dog park on the north fork of the Fraser River. When the tide is out (and it's warm enough), dogs can run and play at will.

No. 3 Road Dog Bark -- located at the very south end of No. 3 Road, this dog park is also on the water, but the beach isn't accessible. Instead, the dogs have lots of great running space and a special drinking foundation just for dogs!

Shell Road Trail -- The off-leash dog trail is good only good for short distances off leash, but is easily accessible from the Shell Road West and Williams intersection. The trail itself intersects many streets, so keep your leash on hand!
