Lonhro (p42 was another long termer who was scared of
the world. His foster Mum Andrea knew he needed
special care. Lonhro’s doggy sisters helped him feel
comfortable and develop his talent but they knew if he
had to be transplanted to another family that would
really set him back so they decided to adopt him. A
very lucky Lonhro!

In the last weeks we have experienced an increase in
small old dogs often with little or no vision. Normally in
winter the number of dogs entering the pound
diminishes, but not this year. We are getting more senior
dogs that need extra care to restore them to good
health.

We have many mature dogs that are blind (see p24-25).
Our fundraising through Every Day Hero has highlighted
what is happening with George and Sunny, just two of
our blindies. Sunny has just undergone a complex
surgical procedure and we are waiting for all the
inflammation to settle around his eyes. He is already
showing signs of vision.

Any vision is better than none so DoggieRescue’s
commitment to help dogs see is a must if the dog stands
a chance of finding a home. We continue to fundraise

Pinky is a gentle, fairly quiet boy.
When he first came into the shelter
Pinky was timid and nervous of so
many things including clipping and
being touched around his head. Pinky
prefers female kennel companions
and over the years has seen all his
little ‘girlfriends’ adopted by loving
families, while he still waits.

Pinky waits patiently for a caring
person prepared to give him time,
patience and a whole lot of love. Is
that you? Ideally Pinky needs to form
a bond and spend time with his new
family before adoption.

confronted with stressy situations or

with an energetic dog who wants to play

and quickly learns new routines. This
loving, boy needs an understanding
family to bond with him.

Dusty comes under the bracket of
SPECIAL NEEDS DOG and as such
must have a family who understand and
are willing to form a bond with him

Neanderthals? Who Us?

One of the great conceits of humanity
is thinking we are evolution’s finished

to indulge considering that

and we have ruled the planet ever
since. Just ask the Neanderthals who
ignored us when we turned up with
our puny skulls, slight builds,
jewellery and cave paintings.
They no longer exist!

So as we reach the half way point in
2015 what are some of the impacts
humanity has had, so far this year,
especially in Australia, on the animals
with whom we share this world?

particularly in cases where greyhound owners were
also housing small bait animals. According to
Australia's premier animal welfare enforcement agency,
the inference was clear "that live baiting probably

legislation is insufficient for prosecution".

However, it would be short-sighted to Cartoons by

West Australian Liberal Senator Chris
Back introduced a so-called "ag gag"
bill into Australian Federal Parliament.
The law, if passed, would make the
type of investigation Animals Australia,
Animal Liberation Queensland and Four

industry impossible. That is, of course,
the point of such legislation.

Last year I wrote about the debate over

they do so with a twist. Typically, they

police; and make it a crime to seek
employment with the aim of

BONNIE WAS ABANDONED AND
PATIENTLY WAITED AT THE
COTTAGE ANIMAL HOSPITAL
FOR HER FOREVER FAMILY….

When she met the Edwards family
it was love at first sight!

Hello Readers,

We had been looking for a cat to
join our family and had our hearts
set on adopting a cat from a
shelter. When we met Bonnie at
The Cottage Animal Hospital we
knew she was perfect. Affectionate,
loving and patient with my 2
daughters (aged 5 and 1).

When we got home after picking up Bonnie, she settled I would like to encourage anyone who is thinking about
in so well. She checked out the whole house, explored adopting a cat from a shelter to go ahead. We are so
and got to know all of us. It was only a matter of hours glad we have found Bonnie, she is a truly adorable
before she was snuggling with my daughter on her bed cat. It also makes us feel great that we have given her a

only thanks to the generous help from

YOU SO MUCH from the bottom of our

but the lovely ginger Mummy still waits.

It was a cold, wet day at Blacktown Pound. In the cattery the spirits of the volunteers, some from
Rescue Cat Project, were low—too many cats and kittens, not many adoptions. It is hard to
volunteer when you know that some of the animals you care for will be euthanized. It is not the
pound’s fault for the volume of dumped cats, kittens, mother cats with baby kittens is never ending.
But on this day even though it was raining, the sun shone because armed with her carrier & boxes
Michelle arrived to rescue as many as she was able to. The picture at left is her leaving Blacktown
Pound (not all the cats rescued are in the picture ). This is only possible due to the commitment
from veterinary surgeries who care for these cats until they are adopted. THANK YOU!

fact that many people don't know where to look for a

extraordinary number of wasted lives but with networking

“ Sunny has just been dropped at the vets for cataract surgery. We are keeping our paws crossed for him. His
surgery is a little more complex as he also needs a Gunderson’s Flap done at the same time. The cost is likely
around $4,000. This is of course a more costly procedure but it is so worthwhile when you watch them when they
first get vision. It is simply an amazing experience for me! It is an opportunity to give them the world. Without vision
their world is darkness and their chance of getting a home is almost zero. Little George is patiently waiting his turn

Sofia raised another $200.60 thanks to her local school
community and Woolworths (Sofia wrote a letter to the

“ Sofia shows a commitment and caring way beyond
her tender years and deserves support. She has so
far raised over $700.00 for the DR doggies.” Monika

A DIARY OF COMMITMENT By Larissa Ricco

This picture was taken Each year thousands of dogs are abandoned. Of
shortly after her arrival. the lucky rescued ones many are adopted quickly
and settle in well with their new family. Others
take a little time to adjust, some take longer and a
few need extra special care….

It is tragic to see a dog terrified of humans, like
Pandora. To see her cringe, wet herself and try to
make herself as small as possible. Look into her
eyes - she wants to run. Far away from hands that
hit, from pain, hunger, misery and fear. When
rescued she had recently had pups and was skin
and bone. Abused Pandora was a broken dog.

This is the story of a special family who have
begun her journey of rehabilitation teaching her
that human hands also give pleasure, voices are
soft, that pain and hunger are memories. Pandora
is learning that HUMANS can love.

“ Where do I start? I guess at the beginning. I am a volunteer feeder. When I first saw Pandora she was so
frightened of people that no one could get near her. I came home and spoke to my husband about fostering her.
We started fostering Boomer (now adopted) from DoggieRescue 18 months ago. Boomer was also a very timid dog
and would “freeze” when scared, which was often. Since living with us, Boomer had made such great progress with
his confidence that we thought we could give Pandora a good home.” Larissa

got home her from DoggieRescue (which we did) so she
would get familiar with the area. Little did we know, we
would need to make use of this advice straight away.

Back to the drawing board, we changed how we took
care of Pandora. If Pandora wasn’t supervised outside,
she was locked in the house with the dogs. We also
increased all fences and gates by another foot. Pandora
loves inside living, being outside scares her. Keeping
her in the house calmed her and sped up the bonding
process with our dogs, she was more settled and the
constant lapping of the house stopped.

The first few days she was so stressed that she had an
upset stomach. We went back to basics and put her
back on the diet that she was used to at Doggie Rescue.
Then slowly we introduced other foods.

By Dr. Dee
In April this year 3 little orphans were brought into THE COTTAGE ANIMAL HOSPITAL. This is a
diary of their survival and growth. It is also a story of love and hope….
27/4 : 3 tiny baby girls - brought into us in a cardboard box -

no Mummy - we estimate as only 2 days old. One still
has her umbilical cord attached. We will do our best to
raise these babies but they have a tough road ahead...

29/4: Pepa Pig is doing her best to be a
‘Mummy’. Kittens are 4 days old.

JUNE 2015 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 45

3/5 : Raising orphan kittens is
a big job - they need
feeding every few
hours, toileting,
temperature control and
of course love - here
are two of our
wonderful nursing staff,
Courtney and Crystal,
toileting the orphans
after a feed. They are
now 8 days old- this
photo was taken when
they were 2 days old

4/5 : 8 days old - the three babies are so far doing
well & because they arrived just after ANZAC

❤weekend they have been named Poppy,

Biscuit & Dawn

5/5 : Eyes are open—day 9

12/5 :18 days old and so far so good! These little
babies are a part of Monika's Doggie Rescue
cat rescue program. Found at 2 days old they
had little hope.

The kittens are thriving on a cat
milk replacement called Biolac
and have started to walk around
and explore in between drinking
warm milk and taking looooong
naps….. They are so precious.
