Beautiful pictures of families
and their “ Gotcha Day”.

Our New Years Day has been marred by the loss of Charlotte
when we least expected it. Our 2yo Sharpei had just
undergone eye surgery and was ready for a home but
instead she was called to Rainbow Bridge. It is a
poignant reminder how fragile life is and that we
cannot rely on our expectations. We need to
appreciate what we have and care for those
we love and make the most of the time together.

Just before Christmas we took in 18 dogs,
many were larger in size. We struggled to
find beds for them but we managed.
Weetbix our cute young terrier boy pictured
was one of these. He is hoping his luck
will change this year and he finds a family
ready to say “forever” to him.

Our gorgeous cover boy Maxwell who has
seen a few New Years in with us is hoping
that 2015 will be his special year. He gives
kisses to the kennel hands as he goes to bed!
He has been waiting patiently for a long time and
deserves an outstanding home.

Over the festive season we had beautiful updates from Weetbix Jack Russell Terrier x 1yr
families sharing their “Gotcha Day”. Some days when the Male Sponsor: “ A Happy New Year
going gets tough it carries me through. Weetbix!” Breanna

May 2015 be a year of achievements and special moments
and I look forward to your continued support and care for
all our homeless animals.

Wishing a Happy New Year to all my fans, T’WAS THE NIGHT

I know that by the time you read this, Christmas BEFORE CHRISTMAS
will have been and gone but just so you think I am
not bonkers, I'm actually writing this before George’s version of the famous Clement Clarke Moore poem
Christmas. Holly and I got a new sponsor doggie
who is close to our heart… T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
George Coleman was stirring, not some silly mouse.
Pandora is black, a long-termer at Doggie Rescue His stocking was hung from the chimney with care.
and in need of a special family. She is so special I but George knew St Nicholas was needed elsewhere.
wrote my version of the Christmas poem for her.
There were doggies at Doggie Rescue all snug in their beds,
while visions of forever homes danced in their heads.
They needed St Nick more than George ever would,

To find them a home that was full of love and all things good.
There was one particular dog in the front of George's mind,
a dog who REALLY deserved someone patient and kind.
Her name was Pandora, she was black and she was white,

who arrived at the shelter and spent night after night.
She was terrified of people, so sad and so shy,
she wondered if the good life was passing her by.

Such a sweet little lady in need of a special home,
with someone who loves her so she'll never again be alone.

So George left a note for St Nick under the tree,
which said "Pandora needs you more than me.
Please find her a home, one that is loving and kind,

a very special family is what you must find."
And laying a finger aside of his nose,

St Nick replied to George and this is how it goes:
"George I can't promise anything but my best I will try,
to find a home for Pandora with fences secure and high.

A home that has other doggies is fine,
a home with a family that she can call mine!"
"That's great" thought George, "but what more can I do?

I know Pandora, I'll sponsor you!
And I heard him say as he snuggled in bed out of sight,
Merry Forever Homes to all doggies and to all a good night.

Pandora Pointer x 2yrs 20kgs Female Sponsor: “Hoping hard for a forever home or a foster home!” George
( Pandora is pictured above with her little friend Elmo. She loves smaller dogs and often cuddles up to one or two. )

DOGGIERESCUE’S ADOPTION OF THE YEAR

A diary of love

SAVING MIA byherMum,
Shannon
Maguire...

THE BEGINNING: I first saw Mia’s photo on Facebook A FACEBOOK FOLLOWER: I began to follow Doggie
in June 2014, when a friend shared her photo. Mia was Rescue on Facebook, and was dismayed to discover Mia
in Renbury Farm, which is the animal holding facility for a had escaped Doggie Rescue, and was missing in the
number of councils in NSW. She was listed as bush. Along with hundreds of others, I watched all day,
urgently needing rescue. Jo Lyons, an amazing as everyone at Doggie Rescue went on full alert, doing

the animals at Renbury, had photographed Mia, and message from my heart, telling her that if she went back
somehow captured Mia’s soul in the photo. I knew to Doggie Rescue, I would come and get her. Not long
straight away I had to save Mia. after this, there was a message on Facebook saying Mia
had been caught and was back safely. I called Doggie
“ Jo Lyons had captured Mia’s soul in the photo..” Rescue and asked if I could come and meet Mia.

OUR FIRST MEETING: When I first met Mia, she was
shut down, edgy, anxious, dreadfully fearful,
unpredictable, frantic and had fear aggression. She did
not connect with me at all, and I feared I had made a big
mistake. I would not give up on her though. She met
Emma, my 14 year old very laid back Golden Retriever,
and the two of them got on just fine, so I organised to
take Mia for a day trip to my home the following week.

Mia had recently had a litter of puppies. She was A CAT-ASTROPHY: I am involved in cat rescue and

with her. Sadly I took Mia back to Doggie Rescue, and
told Monika I was unable to adopt Mia for this reason.
I would not let Mia down though, so I offered to drive to
Doggie Rescue, every week to walk and train Mia, to
help her be able to be rehomed. So I drove an hour
each way 1-2 times a week for the next three months
and spent time with Mia, training and loving her.

Being at Doggie Rescue for so long was taking its toll on
Mia, she was becoming more anxious, and wasn’t finding
the home she so badly needed. Luci and Monika asked if
I would think about taking Mia home for a weekend to
see how she was with my cats if she spent some

ADOPT ME...

Hello Readers,

Meet my friend Taz who is such a happy, bright and lively
dog. He is very handsome with his long legs and beautiful
medium to long length coat ( see pictures above ) which he
loves clipped in summer to keep him cool. Taz enjoys
playing with other dogs but also loves to play with his
human friends, running laps around the garden and
playing with balls and toys. He is attentive and smart and
does a cute crouching trick on his hind legs. His abundant
enthusiasm is really infectious and he makes me smile!

Taz is very affectionate and enjoys being picked up and
cuddled. He gives me generous licks; I think it is his way
of showing me he is happy for his special time with me as
he seems a little overwhelmed sometimes with the noise
of the other dogs. Walking on lead through streets is a
work in progress as he has obviously not had a good
relationship with traffic. Taz is still quite young and he is
eager to please. He would benefit from his family being
around a fair bit and would get on well with slightly older
children being in the home.

Good luck young Taz. 2015 might be your year! Love from
your friend, Geari xx

2014….THE GOOD TIMES

The good times are not only when dogs find their forever families but when dogs, especially long term ones,
find a foster home and one on one care with a family willing to give their time and love to a homeless dog.

FOSTER OF THE YEAR: Rupert was an
abused, terrified boy when rescued and it
has taken years for him to trust. His is a
special story of patience, love and hope….

Day 2: The first time I saw his tail - a real
breakthrough- signified he's just that little bit
less petrified! We worked a little on recall (on a
loose leash) and he came for treats. I'm not
taking all the credit- it's my boy who got him to
walk and showed him the ropes. Troy gives
Rupert the paws up for today’s efforts!

Day 15: Roo is doing FABULOUS! Graduated
from quiet Tempe to Sydney Park this week-
amazing progress! He responds when I signal
him to come over for "contact time" at home-
and will take the initiative to come sniff at me
occasionally. Just super! Introduced brushing
after walkies since Monday - tolerates without
stress or attempts to escape. Since we are all
in a generous mood- I shall say his breed has
been promoted to just 90% Chihuahua (ie silly),
3% Mini Foxy and 7% Cat (affection on his
terms). Happy New Year June, Troy & Rupert

My gr eatest achievement is: Keeping my Dad’s chair
warm when he leaves the office even for a minute.

If I was a movie star I would be: Gene Kelly – and it’s

not just because of his dashing good looks – apparently
my prance-like walk reminds everyone of his moves on
the screen.

The food that makes me drool is: Whatever Frank who
does volunteer and relief work for my dad brings in for

lunch. It always smells delicious but he never seems to
notice my plaintive eyes when I sit watching him eat.

If I wasn't me, I would like to be: A postie. My Dad One last question Max. If you could send a message
says I should try to walk around in posties’ shoes for a
while to stop them making me mad. Seriously postal to all the dogs waiting now on Death Row in pounds,
workers in bright vests manage to make me bark!!!! what would you say? I’d say….Never give up hope
because DoggieRescue might come for YOU today!
If I had one wish it would be: That all dogs find a safe
and loving home like me.
