matched the poems and the dogs so beautifully.
It reminds us of the real meaning of Christmas. If

to share some Christmas spirit with some lonely Monika with
dogs, you will come away feeling you have done Soldier
something good.

It is often said that volunteering is at the very core of being a human and that
no one has made it through life without someone else’s help. To see this in
action, this month we meet Caroline, from Clip and Cuddles Dog Grooming,
a volunteer who donates not only her time but also her love. For almost twenty
years now, Caroline has volunteered at DoggieRescue, doing a vital job.
Imagine dogs arriving at DR having been rescued by Monika, a mere few
hours before euthanasia and often in a confused, abused and disgracefully
neglected state, often ready to attack. Caroline is, in most instances, the first
person they meet who provides the love and attention they need to help them

Mummy says “ Bella is the dearest, sweetest girl,
who loves to snuggle. She also loves to feel the
wind in her fur and go for an occasional ride on my
bike with me!”

A couple of things about me...I love dress ups and
have been dressed as a Christmas Angel and
Yoda ( I looked so cute and got a lot of cheers from
everyone!). I also love the beach and even at 17
years of age I still have a little run just not as far as
I used to! I love to dig in the sand and chase sol-
dier crabs.

For anyone thinking a senior dog is not as much
fun as a puppy, I hope I will make them think again
for I am almost a 17 year old puppy at heart …

Merry



Christmas!









This year I had the pleasure of writing about a different dog almost
every month to show you who caught my attention and made me smile.
Jarrah and I celebrated the New Year with silly hats (above) but he is
facing another New Years Eve without someone to smooch at mid-
night. He is such a smart boy, he loves his enrichment toys and works
them out so quickly! Jarrah doesn’t enjoy the shelter life, he is stressed
and needs a home. When he’s away from the shelter he is a different
boy - he loves his people with his whole heart. I hope 2023 is the year
this boy finds his home.

them for the new year is a forever home together. back and watch, he is still a big cuddler and loves to
stand up on his back legs to wrap his arms around you.
Oslow also joined me for an event this year and stole the
show at Top Dog Film Festival. 2023 will be his year to
find his love story.

Finally in October I met Thomas, his sweet face
remains a favourite of mine. Thomas isn’t a confident
boy, he needs a handler who will love him and be patient
with him. He has recovered well from his multiple
surgeries and is now looking to start the new year in a
new life. I hope 2023 gives him this.

My time at DoggieRescue has taught me so much about dogs,
I’ve learnt to read their body language to watch for signs they
are stressed and how to respond to them. I’ve loved learning so
much from Monika and the kennel hands at the shelter.

Funnily enough the most important lessons Monika has taught
me over the years are about people. To watch what they say
when they’re not saying much, to trust how the animals respond
to a person. If a dog doesn’t like a person, the dog is usually
right.

“ Monika, you taught me to trust my ins ncts. You
have given me the skills I need to take the next step

in my journey and I wouldn’t be able to do this if it Some special volunteers like Monique,
wasn’t for you.” Kelly, Stu and Karen have even changed
my mind about cats! I was never a cat fan

IN THE MEET KHALEESI : Khaleesi is a li le deaf Staffy
SPOTLIGHT cross and one of the longer term dogs at the
shelter. We asked three of Khaleesi’s friends to
tell us what they love about her and to send her
a special Christmas wish.






CLICK HERE






















Nat Burns – DoggieRescue Volunteer ( above )
How nice is it when you arrive home after a day at work and your
pets are happy and excited to see you? That's the reaction you
get from Khaleesi every single time she sees you. Her little happy
face watches expectantly at the fence if you walk by, waiting for
you to come in her direction. Tail wagging at a thousand wags
per second, hopping from one paw to the other impatiently. Then
when it's finally her turn, you need to prepare for all of staffy love
and licks you can imagine. She has so much love to give - in
exchange for hugs and treats of course. Khaleesi is super smart
too, she knows exactly the same spot to stop, sit and ask for a
treat when we're out walking - just because we stopped there
once, now she knows it every time as 'the treat place'!

“If I could have one Christmas wish for Khaleesi it is that
someone would find the me and pa ence to get to
know her so she can have a home all of her own. But in
the mean me, if Santa could bring some indestruc ble
toys for her to chew on, that would also be great!” Nat

“There were many before you and there will be many after. Sweet souls
that discover one day, the miracle of being loved. But Olive, whose hard
life left her with scars, a few growls and a wary look towards anyone who
wasn't mum or dad... was a little different. This rescue never once forgot

forever family. If kindness and loyalty were a person, they would be
Olive. And as her dad passed, she never left her mum's side. She never
would have. But she was sent off, for her own good, even though she
was fighting the pain and the exhaustion just to stay with mum a little
longer. Little did she know, that dad was waiting.

Bon voyage Olive,
