Noah

Noah was a four year old yellow lab that was found wandering East Vancouver in early May 2006 with no collar and barely able to walk. He weighed 176 pounds when rescued by the good people at the Vancouver Animal Shelter. Kendall heard about him 2 weeks later and offered to foster him and swim him for exercise and weight reduction. Noah weighed 166 pounds and was medicated for a thyroid condition.

He was a happy, quiet, well behaved dog who loved to swim! He got along beautifully with the other pets in the house and became best friends with her standard poodle Bear. Over the next 8 months Noah had increased his endurance and gradually lost all the weight dropping to a healthy 88 pounds.

Sadly, in early December 2008 Noah had emergency surgery on his spleen and the biopsy showed cancer. He underwent rounds of chemotherapy at the Mission Vet Hospital but sadly lost his battle with cancer some months later. Thanks to Kendall for giving this delightful boy a fantastic home in his final years.

Monies ensure animals in need, in shelters or foster care have access to aqua therapy.

These dogs from shelters have had the chance to heal through Noah's Fund:

Suzy Q: (Black Lab/Rottie ) through swimming Suzy has lost weight. She weighed 147 lbs and will reach her goal weight of 85 lbs. She was too heavy to walk. The only exercise she could do was swim.
Indy: (Boston Terrier/ Pug) Indy need an operation to remove her hip bone. She limped badly and only walked on 3 legs. Through donated swim sessions from Noah's Fund, Indy now walks on 4 legs and has been adopted into a family.
