Please follow the link below for the location and maps of the park. Click on the Shiba icon on the first map, and it will give you directions to the park. Parking is available on McKay Avenue, on either side of the street. There is an entrance to the dog park right on McKay Avenue. Directions

There will be another raffle held at the June Meetup for a gift basket to raise money for the BC SPCA's "Paws for a Cause" campaign.

In regards to Paws for a Cause… I will be organizing another team of Shibas for the big event… More info to come. In the meantime, click on this link for more info: BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk

May 2010 Meet Re-cap

Posted by Jen Published in Meetups

Hello everyone,

We lucked out on the weather yet again! The confirmed number of Shibas was 69, our largest Meetup yet! I know there were a lot more because quite a few people forgot to sign-in/register and pull their card.

I want to thank Janet & Katrina for helping sell tickets for the raffle. We raised $235 for the BC SPCA, the most money yet from a raffle! Congratulations to Gloria, Jacky & Skippy for winning the gift basket!

23rd

Thanks to all who bought dog treats and made a donation to Vancouver Shiba. We were able to renew the lease on VancouverShiba.com domain for two more years because of your generosity. Another thank you for the continued donations to make future gift baskets – there will be another raffle for a basket at the June Meetup and most likely for July.

The BC SPCA is just starting to kick off their annual "Paws for a Cause" fundraiser for 2010. More information to come as I will be organizing another Shiba team for this year. We raised an outstanding $5700 for the Burnaby SPCA in 2009 and over $3000 in 2008 for the Vancouver SPCA. I think 2009 will be pretty hard to top but we can sure try!

I've been having a lot of requests lately for a Meetup on a Saturday… I'm thinking of having one in June. I will tentatively set the date for SATURDAY, June 26th. I'll send out a group officially announcing the date in another week or two.

Eric was busy capturing all those fantastic Shiba moments on film and his photos are now up on Flickr. Enjoy!

See you all at the next Meetup!

Missing Shiba – Surrey

Posted by Jen Published in Missing Shiba

*** UPDATE ***

We received notice today that Sumo has been reunited with his owner and is now back at home.

~~Hi everyone,~~

I've been contacted by a Meetup member who's friend has lost her Shiba. "Sumo Lam" went missing on Saturday, May 8th around 12:30pm in the area of 157th Street and 88th Avenue, Surrey.

Sumo Lam is a red, neutered male and he is 16 months old. He was wearing a black harness with a bell and he has a tattoo on his belly. He is wearing this same harness in the photo shown below.
