Dear Readers,

Merida introduces our magazine this
month looking very spooked in her
Halloween outfit. It has been a long while
since we have had one of our kitties
featured on the front cover and Merida
does it so elegantly! She is also getting
her ghostly pal Toby into the swing of
things but he was too spooked to be on
the cover!

Our dogs are also dressed up – look at

our devils Angel, BooBoo, Yogi and

Detective Scraps as well as Marley and

Hazel. Don’t they look amazing? There

are more inside the magazine. Rosie and

Khaleesi, Percy and Blaze are all taking

part in the fun. Oznur does an amazing

and photography are my two passions
and I'm so happy that I can use one of
them to help the other.

It's so much fun photographing the dogs
and cats each month with different
themes and getting to spend one on one
time with them. The best part of it is
seeing the ones that I photographed get
adopted. The humble feeling of helping
others in need without expecting any-
thing in return gives me a true sense of
happiness. That's why I love
volunteering. Oznur

Doggie Rescue has a huge support network of
volunteers from drivers, feeders, customer service,
events, foster families etc and whilst for the most part it
all works well - each division being run by a separate
individual co-ordinator - nobody to date had really stood
back and objectively looked at our Volunteer System as
a whole. Our Kennel Manager, Luis De Florio, studied
the existing system and (frankly) found it to be a bit of
a "dogs breakfast" (no pun intended).......

AND THE MAIN DRIVING FORCE BEHIND
MAKING SOME CHANGES WAS SAVING MONEY.

So how can we re design the system so that it costs
us less and have trainees and volunteers supporting
and working alongside our regular kennel hands?

• IN THE SPOTLIGHT HALLOWEEN AND ALL THAT STUFF By Scrappy Beedell

Hi! My name's Detektive
Robert Cornelius Scraps,
but you can call me Scrappy!

The only thing I love more
than eating raw chicken is
dressing up. As you can
probably guess, Halloween
is my favourite time of year.
I get to dress up and try to
spook all the people near
my house in Newtown!

Sometimes I'm a Samurai,
sometimes I'm a chimney
sweep, sometimes I'm ‘Super
Dog’, but I'm always
comfortable, and always
happy for a photo shoot.

If I'm not comfortable,
I'll always let my mum
know by running away
or giving her a yelp!!!

Have a
happy
Halloween
dudes!

If you're dressing up a pooch and they don’t seem comfortable or happy, please
give 'em some space! Maybe try again in an hour, or tomorrow.. And if they're sill
not happy, there's always next year. Who says you can't teach an old dog new
tricks?! My friend Bob actually doesn't like to dress up at all. There's nothing
wrong with him, he's just not into it, so we just photo shop hats on him later on,
or use Snap Chat to make him look like a unicorn.

Remember in Australia, it can get hot around Halloween, so please keep
your doggies costume light! Last Halloween, my other buddy Magic ate
some human chocolate and he was sick and had to go to the vets!!!
Chocolate is no good for us, but sometimes we forget, so keep it out of
our way! Enjoy yourselves and keep your furry pals safe! Scrappy

When he came from the pound Bazza had a huge soft
tissue sarcoma between his back legs. After consultation it
was removed and the prognosis seemed positive. Luck
looked like it was finally smiling on Bazza and we began to
look for a forever family for him. After some months the
tumour began to grow back.

Bazza needed more surgery. We sent him to see Dr. Peter
at Collaroy Veterinary Surgery. Peter operated after using
some chemo drugs to try and shrink the tumour down prior
to surgery. Unfortunately when he opened Bazza up he
found the tumour down his hind leg, totally wrapped
around his urethra and around his anus. Peter said he
would be so debilitated post surgery that it would be best
to send him to sleep whilst under anaesthesia, so we let
him go.

“It is a very sad day today. Unfortunately none
of us really had time to say good-bye to him,
which is tragic but from Bazza’s perspective it
was the best option. Bazza felt no pain. He was a
very special boy at DoggieWood and we all
loved him. I did not want him to suffer.” Monika

us for a week and had a vet check. The owner
was going to come in and collect, but today
decided he will surrender her. She is very lame
and the staff are carrying her around when they
need to move her. She lays on her blankies all
day and we rug her up at night (see photos). She
does not give two hoots about other dogs and
keeps to herself laying quietly in her kennel. Her
appetite is minimal and staff have been assisting

Reading the vet’s report of a large mass found in
her stomach it sounded pretty sinister. Why did
we rescue her? She sounded like such a
sweetheart who has never had any care or love
in her life. We felt no one would take her and we
did not feel comfortable leaving her to die in a
pound. Before she left this earth she needed to be
surrounded by people who loved her and wanted
to give her the very best, for whatever time she
had left.

Shep went to our vets, The Cottage Animal
Hospital in Parramatta. When she arrived she
scoffed a BBQ chicken and some ID food like
there were no tomorrows. Our vets put her on a
drip as she was dehydrated and she was resting.
We took bloods to determine what her prognosis
really was.

Sadly over the weekend whilst being on a drip
and well hydrated, Shep did not turn around. She
had kidney failure and her readings were off the
scale. She ate BBQ chicken hand fed on Monday,
but that was it. She did not wag her tail. We
decided to let her go to rainbow bridge where
she could run and wag her tail again……

What is the tragedy of poor Shep? Yes
she was a very sick, elderly girl... Her
prognosis was never good but her owner
knew where she was … and left her to

die amongst strangers.

With sad regrets..

IT’S TIME TO SAY FAREWELL

Hello Readers,

My first association with DoggieRescue came about through my daughter Kelly when
we did volunteer work at Monika’s when the shelter was at Homebush. A lot of the dogs
were in the open so I began knitting coats ( with another lady ) to keep them warm.

OCTOBER 2017 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 31

When my husband Fred and I ( pictured with Monika at Ingleside
above ) relocated to Lake Haven, I came up with the idea to knit dog
coats and sell them with all proceeds donated back to DoggieRescue.
Initially the Central Coast Ladies Knitting Group started with me and
Doreen Watkins, then expanding with Elaine, Janet, Betty, Lynne, Pat,
Patti (Sydney), Myra (Wollongong), Alethia and Margaret with Fred
being a huge support behind the scenes.

Over recent years, due to health and relocation reasons the group Doreen Watkins with her precious Brittany
has diminished with only me and Fred, Alethia, Lynne and Margaret
remaining. Alethia, Lynne and Margaret would like to continue Wagga Market Place Shopping Centre,
knitting but they do not have the sales or marketing skills required. with many recent orders from customers
Should DR wish to continue with this venture it will be necessary to appreciating a quality product.
have some volunteers interested in going to shopping centres,
markets and conference venues where these coats can be
displayed and sold. I am prepared to assist in training up anyone
that is interested with the relative skills to do this.

Over the past 15 years these coats have been sold at Lake Haven • Over this period, and with the
Shopping Centre, Winston Hills Shopping Centre and Wagga winding up of sales activities, it’s
conservatively estimated our little
knitting group, made up entirely
of seniors, has donated through
the sale of our hand knitted dog
coats approximately
$125,000.00 to Doggie Rescue.

“ This has been an exciting and very
enjoyable journey for us and it is regrettable
we are unable to continue. It would be
nice if someone could take up the reins and
run with it because it is a viable
business opportunity for DoggieRescue to
generate an ongoing source of income.”

Teena Wratten.
