A Boxer Male named Cougar
Cougar is presently Adopted
We are extremely happy to announce that Cougar has a home.
UPDATE - June 18th: Cougar has the okay from Dr. Plasse to resume the life of a normal dog—he can go for walks, play with his pals (not too rough) and just enjoy being a healthy dog again. All he needs now is a fur-ever home; that would be the icing on the cake for Cougar.
\Update - June 2nd: Cougar continues to show great progress. The thyroid meds have taken effect and he is healing normally. He can go for short walks throughout the day but no playing fetch or rough-housing with his pals just yet. The most difficult part of Cougar’s recuperation is giving him the one-on-one attention and TLC that he so deserves. Much as he has lots of people who talk to him, pet him, and take him for short walks, the Centre is not a home. Cougar would benefit so much from a normal life as a cherished companion and pet. If you have been thinking of adopting and are looking to make a difference in a dog’s life, please consider opening your home to Cougar.
Update - May 13th: Our Courageous Cougar is back at the Centre and on his way to recovery. One of the reasons the healing process was taking so long is that Cougar needed thyroid medication. Thyroid problems are not uncommon in dogs and with the right medication, it is a condition that can be kept easily under check. Cougar did go through another surgery for a torn cruciate ligament—it was difficult to see the problem in the first surgery due to the raging infection. Dr. Plasse, our amazing Animatch Vet, has done incredible repair work on Cougar’s torn ligament—his love of animals shines through. Cougar will spend the next few weeks with little activity (not an easy feat at the Centre). Much as he is loved and doted on by Helen and all the Volunteers, the Centre is not a home and he does not get enough individual attention. Cougar needs his own person to dote on him and give him some TLC. So if you would like to be part of this incredible boy’s recovery and new life, please don’t hesitate to think about adopting. You won’t be disappointed.
Update - May 4th: Another bump in the road for Cougar. He went for his follow-up visit with Dr. Plasse today and unfortunately the Vet feels that his knee is not heeling properly and he is not putting enough weight on it. So, Cougar must undergo another surgery. He is an amazing boy and was just starting to enjoy the sunshine and his 15-minute walks. We are still hoping for a full recovery and he we intend to find him a home that will love and cherish him for the rest of his days. As one of our readers mentioned in the comments, Courage would seem to be a good name for this fellow rather than Cougar. More updates to follow.
Now and then we receive comments from people who feel that the Animatch adoption fee of $300.00 is a little steep. The fee includes a vet exam, sterilization, vaccination, anti-flea treatment, de worming and for adult dogs a blood test for heartworm. The adoption fee does not begin to cover the expense of treating a dog like for Cougar. If Animatch had to do it all over again, we would definitely make the same decision to help Cougar. He is an amazing dog who did not deserve the suffering he has been through. We count on the public’s support through donations to help dogs like Cougar. We need your help to continue to come to the aid of these dogs – even the smallest donations help.
There is a cost to sharing your life with a dog which goes beyond just dog food. In addition to routine Vet care, there may be unforeseen expenses. The dog you adopt does not come with a 5-year warranty. No one can predict the future – the unexpected occurs all the time. In a perfect world, dogs wouldn’t get sick. Guardians must be aware that it is always prudent to set aside some money for the unexpected visits to the Vet.
Cougar was given up by his owners. He arrived at the Centre with an inflamed and oozing ear – an infection that had been going on for quite some time. The infection had spread to his throat. The morning after he arrived, he could not put weight or walk on his hind leg. Cougar was rushed to the Vet and spent a week at the Hospital. In addition to a horrible ear infection, the infection had spread to a weak spot in his body – the ligament in his hind leg. Cougar needed surgery and Dr. Plasse, our Vet, performed surgery on his leg. This dog had been in pain for quite some time and despite how humans had let him down, he is so sweet and forgiving. Cougar is recovering and lapping up the all the attention that is now coming his way. Cougar should make a full recovery; we will know more as time goes on. Happy days are definitely in this dog’s future!
“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.”

Cougar is very stunning in person. A real sweetheart.
Shame on his previous owners! Some people do not DESERVE to be pet owners! If the reason is that one cannot afford to have a pet’s unexpected medical condition taken care of, then take some other kind of positive action BEFORE things get out of control! Sorry, if I am passing judgement, these kind of stories make me CRAZY!!! Poor little COUGAR!
“Adoption fee of $300.00 is a little steep”
Se peut-il que des gens veuillent adopter un chien “clef en main” à moindre coût que $300.00??????
Ces gens ne sont jamais allés chez un vétérinaire. Ils devraient oublier l’idée d’adopter un chien.
Et comment…...
J’ai acheté quatre chiots, dans ma vie. La première année coûte très cher…..en soins vétérinaires.
Je suis maintenant propriétaire d’un chien, qu’on m’a donné, chien superbe âgé de 9 ans. Les chiens sont comme nous. À un certain âge, et bien, petits problèmes de santé. Voilà.
Je sais tout le bonheur, l’exercise qui me tient en forme etc. etc. que me donne un chien….Il faut les aimer, en prendre soin. Ils nous le rendent au centuple.
Ohhh! Stories like that make me soooo sad :-(
But at the same time, I am relieved Cougar is now in good hands with Animatch. I am sure his new life will be great from now on.
Personnally, I think 300 $ is not expensive at all for a dog who is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, etc.!
Good luck Cougar!
Je partage tout à fait les opinions de Debbie et Geneviève.
Comment peut-on laisser, sans soins, une otite qui dégénère à ce point??
Je crois à un juste retour des choses.
Cougar, je suis sûre que tu redeviendras ce beau chien adorable et en santé, avec les bons soins prodigués par Animatch et le Dr Plasse.
Tout ce qu’il y a de meilleur pour toi.
Bonne chance, Cougar.
$300 is not steep for everything that is included. I know that some dogs arrive at Animatch already neutered but any money recovered is there so some other precious dog can be saved by the wonderful people at Animatch. I have found out that other shelters in a 100 mile radius charge $400. Thank god for shelters such as Animatch—this is where I got my sweet Bernese Sadie (Onyx) and I tell everyone I can in my city about Animatch. Keep up the great work.
If someone is unwilling to spend $300.00 for a dog then they certainly should not even consider owning one. These are often the people who are not really committed to dog ownership in the first place. People are quite willing to spend hundreds of dollars on gym memberships (which they often don’t even use), flat screen t.v.‘s, and all kinds of activities for their kids. A dog covers all of those “needs”.
They are great at forcing us to excercise daily, they give us
endless amounts of entertainment and they teach children
how to care about something other than themselves while also giving them countless activities to enjoy with their dog.
If anything the price is probably on the low side.
De toutes façons, quand on adopte un chien d’un refuge, il faut tout de suite prendre rendez-vous avec notre vétérinaire pour faire un examen complet et définir les traitements nécessaires. C’est ce que j’ai appris récemment et dans la douleur. Le traitement anti-puces et de-worming peut se révéler insuffisant pour certains chiens, et il peut être nécessaire de le refaire tous les mois pendant un certain temps, dépendant de l’état du chien avant son adoption. Le fait qu’il ait été vu par le bon docteur d’Animatch semble donner une sécurité, mais en fait c’est une illusion, et même peut se révéler un inconvénient, dans la mesure où notre vétérinaire n’a pas vu le chien dans son état d’arrivée à Animatch et n’a pas de communication précise avec le Dr Plasse. Je me permettrais de suggérer que le Dr Plasse ajoute à son dossier un document qui décrive plus précisément l’état du chien et ses origines lors de son arrivée chez Animatch, ainsi que ses recommandations pour son confrère qui va prendre la suite.
Et non, je n’ai pas trouvé que les frais d’adoption étaient trop chers pour les services rendus.
Et tout ce “people bashing” et “shame on you” me semble inutile et bien désagréable. Comprendre, éduquer et informer sont plus efficace que blâmer sans savoir de quoi ni de qui on parle, ni pourquoi ils ont négligé ce qui nous paraît indispensable. Il y a aussi des gens pauvres, peu intelligents et peu instruits, ou avec n’importe quel déficit dont la vie les a gratifiés. Les blâmer d’être ce qu’ils sont ne sert à rien.
Sorry, ...poverty, being uneducated, unintelligent, disadvantaged, etc….is never an EXCUSE to not be able to RECOGNIZE that a living creature, be it animal or human, is in need of care or medical attention, even IF one cannot AFFORD the treatment. (Even a three year old child would say: “Mommy, what is wrong with Cougar’s ear?”) Anyone who was able to purchase, or adopt a pet and keep it alive through feeding it, etc., etc. OBVIOUSLY has some level of COMPREHENSION…I stand by my comments!
Inutile pour le bien du chien et désagréable pour le site. I stand by my comments too.
Il ne sert a rien non plus de passer sous silence la négligeance que Cougar a subi. Nous sommes sa voix et par le fait qu’Animatch l’ait pris en charge sous son aile et lui procure les soins médicaux pour alléger ses souffrances donnent amplement le droit de dire les vrais choses. Cougar mérite que nous connaissions son histoire.
Je voudrais rendre hommage à tous les bénévoles de Animatch. Cette générosité, cette maitrise de soi Accueillir ces chiens abandonnés à leur sort ou pire : maltraités.
Prendre soin d’eux. Laver, nettoyer leur habitat. Les marches à des températures extrêmes. Ceci pour une moyenne de 15 chiens par jour et ce, jour après jour, année après année.
Organiser les Meet and Greet, répondre aux commentaires sur ce site. Et que penser de cette paperasse!!!!
Ces bénévoles ont aussi des responsabilirés familiales, travail à l’extérieur et quoi encore.
Chapeau à cette équipe gagnante.
P.S. Je dois avouer que je n’ai pas et n’aurai jamais cette générosité, cette maîtrise de soi. Je serais en colère ou en pleurs et ce, quotidiennement.
(Pour ce qui est de mes précédents commentaires, je n’en retire aucun mot, et je répète aucun mot.)
I think we were quite “restrained” in telling Cougar’s story. There is absolutely no excuse for letting a living being (four legged or two legged) suffer the way Cougar did. It has nothing to do with money, intelligence, education—it has to do with being a compassionate human being.
C’est étrange, tous ces commentaires… Bien sûr, il faut raconter l’histoire des chiens - de tous les chiens sous la garde d’Animatch et pas seulement quelques-uns. Et c’est l’affaire de tous les gens qui ont de la compassion pour les chiens, dont fait partie l’équipe d’Animatch, et dont je fais partie aussi. Mais l’attitude de désigner des coupables sans jugement me hérisse le poil, il vaudrait mieux peut-être quelquefois aider les gens à prendre mieux soin de leur chien. Ce qui compte maintenant c’est que sa vie soit meilleure. Bonne chance Cougar.

I was trying to resist making a comment, since there are already 15 made, but I just could not hold back….
Thank you to all shelter workers, investigation officers, vets and of course, the very important volunteers such as those at Animatch. I too love animals, and do my little bit, HOWEVER, I am not in the frontline and can only imagine some of the sad and cruel cases. Dogs often endure suffering and as one poster said, we are their voice and their stories need to be told. Only then can there be change such as promoting spaying and neutering so that we can reduce these vulnerable unwanted animals. I’m sure the dogs that come into Animatch are not all picture ready and require attention whether it’s is just grooming or more serious health issues. I think $300 is minimal to find a friend for life. After all that Cougar has gone through, he should be renamed Courage. Thank you for the work you all do!
Bonne Chance Couger!
Bon rétablissement Cougar. Tu m’as l’air d’un chien très très courageux. Une nouvelle vie t’attend maintenant…
Bonne chance xx
I’m not in a position to adopt, but if I could Animatch would be where I would go. My eyes swelled when I read about Cougar and I hope he can pull through this second surgery. He’s beautiful and his eyes are full of trust and character. I wish….....
Poor little sweetie! At the hands of KIND and CARING, and COMPASSIONATE human beings, you hopefully will make a prompt and uneventful recovery! Hang in there courageous Cougar!
So very sorry to hear that Cougar has to endure yet another chapter in his poor life——————all because his previous owner neglected to have his ear taken care of from the beginning. Maybe one day in his life he will come to know what it is like to suffer a tragic experience & no one to help him. Cougar, you are well rid of such a person & even though right now it looks dark in your life your future will be so full of light when your new guardian takes you to your forever home. At least your in a place where we all love you!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo et merci a Animatch pour tous les bons soins et l’amour donne aux animaux.
A bientot au marchethon.
Don’t worry Cougar, Animatch team and Dr. Plasse will take good care of you. Please be strong.. If I was to adopt you, I would call you Victor for “Victory” after all you went through. Hang in there buddy !!!!!
xx
Greetings.
Stories like Cougar’s made me hopping mad, but I think that’s precisely the reason why they need to be told—to remind us that there are too many animals out there being poorly looked after (if at all) and that we humans as a collective—not just animal lovers—have a responsibility towards making their lives at the very least bearable. This is the very same responsibility we have for helping people in developing countries achieve decent standards of living.
I strongly believe that word of mouth about why neutering and spaying are important are steps in the right direction. But I also think that as long as humanity doesn’t achieve a higher state of consciousness (which though I am hopeful, will probably take a “little while” longer…), there will need to be laws in place to punish those who behave so irresponsibly towards animals so that theses matters will be taken seriously and not endured in silence.
Those who want to be “nice” and “pleasant” and choose to forgive abusive and neglectful owners are doing the victims the same disservice as those who choose to ignore abuse of women and children. Animals in particular don’t have the option of bettering their own lives as we humans do and we MUST take actions as a society to enforce the decent treatment of animals.
The situation as it is currently makes me think of what things were like back in the ‘50’s when alcoholism, smoking and corporal punishment were all taken for granted as things that were acceptable and “normal”, even if not necessarily talked about. I wasn’t around then, but I choose to be vocal about my opinions on controversial matters because it is the only form of activism I can engage in at the moment and I refuse to sit back and stay quiet about situations that could relatively easily be turned around.
To get things to change, you first have to TALK about the real situation without trying to make it any prettier. If it’s ugly and painful or even disgusting, it must be said. Then those who have the energy and stamina to fight the good fight can find the support (via petitions and the like) they need to sway politicians to put policies in place to effect REAL change. This will only happen we enough of us speak up and form large collectives.
Helen, Joanne & Co., I salute you for not only making these animals a priority in your lives but also for being able to keep your cool with those responsible for the horrible mistreatment of these helpless creatures so that at least they will be brought to shelters instead of being abandoned and left to fend for themselves.
I will also put money where my mouth is as soon as my next pay cheque comes in to help poor Courageous Cougar.
I think the Animatch adoption fees are more than reasonable considering some people are willing to dish out THOUSANDS of dollars to “reputable” breeders for the simple privilege of knowing their adoptee is a “purebred”. But then somehow, the very same people seen to have no qualms about opening the door and letting puppy wander off when they find he/she is too much trouble to have around. How else can you explain so many purebred dogs finding themselves in shelters? No matter what the dog’s pedigree is adopting another living being comes with real responsibilities, not the least of which, financial and the costs shelters face need to be covered by those who benefit from the services provided with such compassion and dedication.
I strongly urge those reading this to consider pet insurance. For a reasonable monthly cost, you can plan for those times when your pet will need serious medical intervention, which will inevitably happen if you keep your animal “till death do us part” (of natural causes, I should add).
This is a long and rambling one, but I felt these things needed to be said. I certainly wouldn’t wish upon the previous owners of Cougar to cross my path because, as nice a person as I can be most of the time, I wouldn’t mind delivering a swift kick in the shins to cruel abusers like that. Because THAT’s what they are—neglect is one of the most pernicious forms of abuse—of course that wouldn’t help anything at all, but I do strongly believe that Karma comes back and bites those who’ve disrespected the natural order of things.
I’ve said my peace and stand by every single word herein.
You told it, Ilana: delivering a kick in the shins to cruel abusers… wouldn’t help anything at all. And I also believe in karma, we make karma and our actions do have their consequences. that’s all I said before.
More: people who have compassion for animals have also compassion for humans too. Compassionate people do not spend their time and energy to blame, judge, become angry and violent against “bad” people. Nobody’s completely bad nor good. Cougar was given up by his owner, maybe they knew that something had to be done for the dog and they couldn’t do it themselves. In a way, they have done more for the dog than some persons blaming them.
At Animatch, they say that their client is the dog. But this cannot be true. The client is the person who decides they want to adopt a dog and pay for that. If the human deciding to adopt isn’t well taken care of - given complete information, support, respect of their needs - the “match” will not work and this will be detrimental for the adopted dog too.
J’ai bien conscience que j’introduis de temps en temps une note légèrement discordante dans le concert de louanges adressé à l’équipe d’Animatch. Je crois que c’est nécessaire, pour qu’ils aient conscience (je suis sûre que c’est le cas), mais surtout que leurs futurs clients humains en aient aussi conscience, qu’ils ne sont pas parfaits, qu’ils font ce qu’ils peuvent de leur mieux pour les chiens mais qu’un deuxième avis vétérinaire est nécessaire lorsqu’on adopte un chien. Et que le 300$ qu’on paye pour le chien - et qui est tout à fait justifié - n’est qu’un début. Il faut après payer notre vétérinaire pour qu’il voie le chien dès son adoption pour un “follow up” correct. Certains de ces chiens ont plus besoin de soins vétérinaires que d’autres.
We appreciate hearing both sides and as long as everyone is respectful of each other, it is good to have exchanges and different view points.
One thing will never change and that is the dogs are Animatch’s first priority and yes, they are our “clients”.
Our bios “tell it like it is” without condemning. In fact, many people who have given up their dogs have done so solely for the benefit of the dog. However, we do see cases where humans have not lived up to their commitment—there is no escuse for abuse and neglect. Seeing it first hand only reinforces the need for stricter laws.
Just wanted to say how great your organization is, all the great things that you do for all the animals that come on your path, they are so very lucky to have you.
Just a note my family in Michigan have several boxers, one is on thyroid medication, it is a good medication, but please ask the vet about putting him on milk thistle, can be purchased anywhere, a half pill a day it will prevent the liver from getting damaged from the medication. It is a fantastic supplement for animals taking these medication on a daily basis, including cortisone.
That’s excellent advice.
I just wanted to comment on what a wonderful job is being done in helping these beautiful animals. If it wasn’t for organizations like animatch, many of these poor souls would not have had a future. I’ve worked for many organizations myself fostering and adopting and understand completely what the costs involved can run up to. My last dog in my pack which my husband and I adopted in october is a 9yr old deaf pitbull with many medical conditions which we were fully aware of prior adoption. Even though “George” has cost us an arm and a leg in medical bills, I wouldn’t think twice about paying the $400.00 adoption fee again. He has been a wonderful addition to our family of 6 other dogs and I am thankful everyday we have with him. I truly hope that “Cougar” finds a home that will be able to give him everything he needs in life and will love and cherish him forever.
I hope Cougar recovers quickly, and gets adopted by a loving home, that will spoil him like crazy, take him for nice walks, enjoy the great outdoors and enjoy being around other dogs, too. I really wish that Quebec (and Canada) get serious about animals rights and animals welfare. It’s time to take a stand against animal cruelty, and have tougher laws in place to protect these defenseless animals. All these animals want is to go out, socialize with their humans and other animals, and be fed and receive proper medical care/checkups. What they give back to us - you can not put a price on that. I look at my Benji, everyday, and he puts a smile on my face. One of my friends, who is petrified of dogs (don’t ask me why?!) even laughs at Benji, and his antics. He is entertaining- there is just something about him. Animatch, and other places like it, serve as reminders that there are people out there that look out for animals, and only want to protect them and advocate on their behalf. If Quebec leads the way, and puts down a firm hand and zero tolerance about animal cruelty and abuse, people will (hopefully) wake up and smell the cafe. I’d like to see an end to pet stores selling animals, reptiles and birds (who have been torn away from their homes/families), and puppy mills and animal cruelty in general. I hope that 2010/2011 will highlight a government that has become serious about animals rights, and influence people in the right direction.
Madison: I strongly support this idea of working seriously at a governmental level to obtain laws against puppy mills and pet stores selling animals. And I like the expression “influence people in the right direction”. That’s what I would like to be able to do.
To get action we must write letters, hundreds if necessary, to our members of parliament. Send emails, whatever it takes. Senator John Bryden and MP Mark Holland are on our side. Bills need to be passed then the laws change!
so handsome!
Pour le beau Cougar….......ont est bien décidés à le rencontrer, à l’aimer et à le chérir….......si seulement on nous donnais la chance! J’ai rempli la fiche pour lui et téléphoné à quelques reprises, mais je n’ai pas de suivi :(
Nous avons l’habitude des boxers, et notre dernier bébé avait lui aussi besoin de médication thyroïde. On a même une bonne amie qui est vétérinaire, qui je suis certaine, pourrait nous aider dans la poursuite de sa guérison.
Nous sommes toujours dans l’attente….......et en espérant le rencontrer ce beau garçon!
Youpie!! Finalement après beaucoup de malchance, c’est à ton tour de profiter d’une belle vie remplie de bons soins, de bonheur et d’amour. Belle vie à toi cher petit Cougar.
Yeah!!!! Good Luck courageous Cougar, we all love and care about you. Have a great new life.
This news really made my day !!! A brand new start for this courageous dog…all the best my friend…and to you who adopted him…thanks
I am sure you will not be disappointed ! xo
Congratulations precious, courageous Cougar! I wish you and your new family all the best! xxoo
Thank you animatch…this handsome Boxer can now have a chance at life! Look at that face…his old owners truly didn’t deserve such a sweetie! We take in pets through sickness and health ..they are PETS- Pleasing, eatable, truly deserving sweeties! SHAME on those who give them anything less and especially those who allow them to go through needless suffering…xo Cougar!
