for this month’s State election!!

It is March 2015 which means that those of us eighteen years and older get our once in four years

right of third parties to initiate proceedings under 9. Do you agree with the phasing out of intensive meat

18. Do you think it is a good idea for the adoption of

14 MARCH 2015 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE

The number of 56 billion does not even include
those animals who live in water, or those who are
killed for other reasons, such as for clothing,
experimentation or “sport”. In the US alone 10
billion land animals are killed for food every year; far
more than the entire current human population. In
Australia it is believed to be around 500 million.

Further, “at this rate of killing, the number of deaths
is greater in five days than the deaths we’ve
inflicted on humans in all wars and all genocides in
recorded human history (approximately 619
million)”. Therefore, take the time to talk to all the
candidates in your seat and find out what they really
believe in the area of animal welfare and let’s see if
we can make a start in NSW to better treatment for
all animals. We really cannot wait for another four
years.

Mahatma Gandhi acutely observed that "the Cartoons by Ryley Miller
greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be
judged by the way its animals are treated." To seek under one's domination, and unable to fight back, is
to reduce the suffering of those who are completely truly a mark of a civilized society.

Another monthly blog from GEORGE COLEMAN, ex DoggieRescue STAR
doggie, Facebook ICON, Magazine AUTHOR, POET and 1ST PRIZE WINNER
of Australia’s 2014 TOP DOG Competition http://www.mediaanimal.tv/

GEORGE COLEMAN

Under his mild mannered facade has George been hiding his true identity. Is his
alter ego faster than a speeding bullet or more powerful than a loco motive? Can he
leap tall buildings in a single bound or save the world from evil? Well, perhaps not,
but as with every dog George will always be a hero to the family who loves him.

Hello Friends!

Can you believe it’s March already? I’m not
very happy with how quickly this year is
going. Before I know it, Christmas will be
here again and Mum will be insisting on
dressing Holly and I up in these ridiculous
reindeer outfits she got half price at the
Ronnie’s post-Christmas sale! I don’t know
who Ronnie is but I am NOT a fan!

So this month we are talking about heroes.
I like to think I’m a hero. I keep my family
safe from predators like take-away delivery
men… lizards… possums...that pesky
courier...other dogs on our walks. I’m not
sure what they’d do without me to be honest,
although for some reason my incessant
barking at all of these threats never goes
down well and I’m really confused by it all?

Despite being the hero...well, superhero really… • I think all the doggies currently and formerly at
that I am, I also have some heroes that I think are Doggie Rescue are heroes and
just pawsome….
• I think other rescue organisations are heroes and
• I think Monika and all her volunteers are heroes for so are all the people who rescue them by giving
all the tireless work they do rescuing doggies like me. them loving, forever homes!

• I think Dr Dee is a hero for all the veterinary love and And in keeping with the spirit of Heroes, here are some
care she gives doggies too (& pesky cats I suppose). ‘super’ photos of Holly and I! Gotta fly….George

Remy must have been a very much loved pet
once, his manners are impeccable and he
seems to have no social issues. He would have
to be one of the easiest dogs I’ve encountered.
Remi has an enlarged heart requiring a small
dose of medication daily. He shows no sign of
this though as he trots along beside me, tail up
and wagging all the way.

He would suit most family combinations, I can’t
imagine any situation that would phase him,
although perhaps small children would not be
ideal. Remy doesn’t have a mean bone in his
little body and has obviously forgiven and
forgotten the fact that he was once left at a
pound, for whatever reason. Adopt him, for his
love could be just what the Doctor ordered.

Sponsor: “ You just keep wagging that tail
Remy!” with lots of love from the Simpsons

ADOPT HIM!

My wish for Remy is that some
kind person will adopt, care for
and love this small boy.

Production Touring is primarily a racing club, with

drivers took the expectant, sometimes nervous,
but always excited guests onto the track for hot
laps in the race cars. We did thousands of laps for
the passengers and got great "smiles per gallon".

Luci and her partner Simon attended to
represent DR and to share the race car
experience. If laughter and squeals of joy,
(squeals from Luci, not Simon), are any indication,
then these two had a ball. I took Simon for some
laps in a very special race car and I think the
smile will still be on his face.

We had a BBQ lunch and asked people to donate
or buy merchandise in support of DR. The wallets
opened wide and the money was flowing freely.
The highlights were someone buying a cap for
$100, another buying a ride in the DR Express
and young Koby doing his own collections for
the doggies. In all, this generous bunch of petrol
heads donated over $2,000 in cash and have
pledged to continue to support the cause.

A great day was had by all and a whole new
supporter base has been created. NSW
Production Touring Cars will definitely remain
involved with DR in what I hope will be a
beneficial relationship for the great work Monika
and the crew perform.

MEET MY DOG—ANGEL

My name is Joshua and let me introduce you all to
my dog, Angel. For ages, I've been begging my Mum for a
dog and now I'm 15 and my wish has finally come true.

Angel is a cheeky, but smart dog. I've already taught her: sit,
stay, drop and shake hands. She is a quick learner and she
even climbs in and gets all of her toys out of her large tub on
her own- that makes me laugh. Ever since her adoption, she
has been a bundle of joy. She is the best thing in the whole
world and I even want to ditch school every day to spend my
entire time with Angel. Josh

ADOPTION UPDATE: Kirsty Ross has come a very long way from her days as an abandoned stray...

Monika’s Rescue Doggie steals the show at the Gosford Art Gallery.

KIRSTY ROSS, EX DR DOGGIE, IS NOW A CELEBRITY!

Needless to say Kirsty has stolen the show. Art lovers are Kirsty was a Monika’s Rescue doggie (original
heard saying, “who is the lovely doggie?” and then name “Zipper”) who found a new home with
secondly ask “who is the lady in the chair?” Helen Ross in Kariong, Gosford. Kirsty was a
present from Helen’s daughter-in-law, Mara
Bontempo-Ross some 12 years ago. She is
the joy of Helen’s life and is obedient, faithful
and Helen’s constant companion.

Helen Ross was asked by artist Janelle
Thomas to sit for a portrait at her home in
Kariong on the Central Coast. During the
sitting Kirsty wanted to get in on the action and
assumed her usual position on Helen’s lap.
Kirsty refused to move and consequently
Kirsty was included in the painting. As a result
the title of the painting was changed from
“Helen Ross” to “Helen Ross and Kirsty”. The
painting has won a number of awards and has
been in the Gosford art gallery.

Kirsty is now as much a celebrity as Helen
Ross and is well known on the Central Coast
as Helen’s doggie from Monika’s Rescue.

SETTLING IN YOUR NEW DOG...

SOME USEFUL TIPS!

If you are thinking of adopting a rescue dog it is important to understand that many of these dogs have
been at DoggieRescue for some months or even longer. Some of the younger dogs may even be growing
up in kennel conditions ( like Louise, below, who was under 6 months when abandoned ).

They may not have been toilet trained, and
some have never even seen the inside of a
house before! Most have been used to living in
kennel conditions with little one-on-one attention.
Some have come directly to Doggie Rescue from
the pet shop window! Others have come from
traumatic home lives, where possibly a slap or a
shout was more usual than a loving pat or a soft
word. For these dogs, the concept of a loving
family will be a new one.

Louise waits for her forever family…. Please be patient! The natural inclination for
you and your family will be to shower your
new doggie with affection....

Most dogs will respond positively to this, but try to
give the dog some 'personal space' to settle in for
the first few days, to explore his environment and
to get to know your family. Don't be disappointed
if the dog is more interested in sniffing around the
yard than sitting on your lap! If you adopted a child
that had been in an orphanage for some time you
would know that they would need some time to
adjust to their new surroundings. It is the exactly
the same for dogs - although generally (and
thankfully!) the adjustment period is much shorter.

MARCH 2015 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 35

A FEW BASIC RULES ARE:

• It's best if your new friend already knows you; try to get to Ingleside for a few walks during the paperwork
period and learn all you can about the dog from DoggieRescue volunteers.

• Have everything already prepared and set up at home, especially all the house rules which will form your
dog's routine.

• Go for a short walk when you pick up the dog, for elimination and a bit of exercise before the car ride
(with harness and seat belt).

• If possible let the dog explore your yard first and hope it will eliminate where you wish it to - be prepared
with a big reward if successful. Take the dog outside at bedtime; if it eliminates, treat and/or praise, take
it to bed and withdraw without fuss.

• Settle with the dog in a comfortable room (with a bed or mat) and simply relax quietly with it; don't fuss
over the dog .Let it set the agenda and timetable for exploration and interaction at first.

• Walk your new dog through the house, slowly exploring
either on or off lead as seems appropriate for your dog.

Some other IMPORTANT tips are:

1. Limit excitement and strangers for the first few days;
set up routines and keep life quiet until the dog has
settled in, then gradually return to more normal levels
of activity and start introducing the dog to different
people under controlled conditions.

2. Start training immediately! At the first feed ask for a sit Casper
or stay or wait. If it does not know “sit” teach it before the
first walk and use it as the "please" command for all
situations you can think of.

3. Limit the first walks to the neighbourhood, on lead.

4. If you have children, don't let them overwhelm their new
friend, and don't let the dog intimidate them in any way.

5. Use lots of quiet praise with your new friend, and also Having their own blanket can be comforting to
teach it to be comfortable without you around—start a doggie in a new, stressful situation.
leaving it early on for short periods (with chews and toys).

And always Be Patient, Loving, Kind and also Firm and Consistent.

FOXIES ARE FABULOUS,
FUN LOVING COMPANIONS.
Fox Terriers, or cross of that breed, are
not for the sedate owner. Mischievous
puppies they grow into small dogs who
need an owner prepared to frolic with
them for if ever a breed of dog enjoys life,
it is this one. Dogs who are at their
happiest in their families company, who
love to play but enjoy their cuddles too.
Easy care, sometimes naughty but never
boring. Have you been owned by one?

ADOPTION UPDATES... Kaiser waited a long time
to meet his perfect family.

LOVED TO PIECES

“ He is so
affectionate
and loving,
we’re not sure
how we lived
without him!”

Melissa

Pictured with
Kaiser are Paige
12yrs & Tia 15yrs

Paige met Kaiser online - it was love at first sight.

Written by Melissa Heard

Our 12 year old daughter Paige saw a photo of Kaiser on the Doggie Rescue website and fell in
love. She nagged and nagged for months to go and meet him. Eventually her nagging paid off!

We made an appointment with Kaiser loves our pool, so we bought him his own pool to keep him out of ours!
Monika to meet him. When we
arrived at Doggie Rescue,
Monika brought us Kaiser and
all four of us instantly fell in love
with him. Unfortunately, he
wasn’t keen for a walk (he has
a damaged hock) so we just sat
with him and gave him lots of
pats, which he thoroughly
loved. We just knew we had to
take him home. The four of us
were a little nervous as we still
had to ask Monika if we could
keep him – if she had said
“No”, there would have been
lots of tears! But her decision
was positive and Kaiser came
home with us that day.
