the Moment, in tune with the dog’s way of thinking.

It is always a consolation to me when I meet families
willing to adopt or foster an “oldie”. They are a special
breed of people who put what they can do for the dog in
front of what the dog can do for them. They understand
what is involved and the sorrow that might come sooner
rather than later but they selflessly put themselves
forward to reach out and ensure the remaining years for
their doggie are going to be the best years of his life.

Neville was one of those old dogs that came to us in an
emaciated condition with bilateral perineal hernias. He
spent months at our clinic and underwent a few
surgeries before he could come to us. When he did
come we had a lot of nursing to do and slowly he

Bull breeds are powerful dogs and need aware and responsible owners who can optimise their many,

The shame is in our numbers, there’s thousands with no home.

Thousands just like me you’ll find, in kennels all alone.

My mum was “just a Staffy”, my father – well who knows?
Mum, too, became unwanted, as the last puppy goes.
And then begins the process, of money-making deals

A life of “moving on” unfolds, who cares how the Staffy feels?
If you have the cash to hand, the Staffy pup is yours

But that pup is getting bigger now, just look at those big paws.

But you’ll find my boisterous nature has already got too much.
If you had thought to train me, with kindness and with praise
You would have had a faithful friend to share your darkest days.
I would lay down my life for you, but you simply cannot see

You make sure you get your money back on what you paid for me.

And on it goes, until one day, I’m no longer worth a dime
The retail on an adult Staff – not worth the waste of time.
So what happens to a Staffy now? Do you really want to know?
Do you care what will become of us, when we leave our final home?

IMP-16-00873 Dayxia Have you ever thought to wonder, “Where is that Staffy now?” IMP-16-00846
Adopted!!!! The “Staffy” has another name; he’s become a “stray” somehow.

Me, I was put into a car and driven far away
The door held open, I jumped out, I thought to run and play.

It was with joy and happy heart I turned to look for you

You drove away with all my trust and a piece of my heart too.

IMP-16-00103 Prince Now I wait with heavy heart, trepidation and with fear.

Adopted!!!! Seven days is all I have you see, seven days for you to claim
The little dog that you threw out, for which you have no shame.

This is my last goodbye now my seven days are up
If only more thought had gone into the future of that pup
As the needle empties to my veins I lay down with one last sigh
I’m sorry I was born a Staff, because it means that I must die.

BREED: Foxy x AGE: 2yrs WEIGHT: 4.7kgs “My beautiful friend Milo . Your forever family is out
there somewhere I know it.” Martha DR Volunteer

Maybe it is Milo’s gentle nature that makes him special,
his worried eyes, his young age, or maybe it's the
feeling that you just want to pick him up and cuddle all
his cares away. He draws us to him and his carers feel
great affection for this small dog.

Milo would do well in a garden environment and would
be happy to share his life with another gentle dog and
older children. With his light 5kg build and long legs
Milo is able to jump so adequate fencing is necessary.
If you are home most of the time and have patience to
slowly introduce "a life outside" to Milo, the reward will
be a gentle and loyal little guy who will love you
forever.

"A dog has one aim in life......to bestow his heart" (J R
Ackerley). I hope you find that special person or family
to bestow your heart upon Milo. Love Janice xx

“The moment I went on Monika’s website, I fell in love with a little
senior white dog with the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen.”
Natalia, Proud Foster Mum

Neville By
Natalia
Siam

Hello Readers, Sponsor: “ In loving
memory of Connor
I read Neville’s story on Monika’s internet site and realized what a & Polly!” the Browns
fighter he was. I knew that I couldn’t leave the website without
inquiring about him. The day I first took Neville home I realized it
was the best decision I had ever made. Almost immediately my
motherly instincts came through and I wanted to lift his sprits and
give him a happy environment to thrive in. I think one of the
proudest moments I have felt as a foster mother for a senior pet is
when I saw how fast Neville was improving. Within two weeks we
managed to potty train him, all the skin irritations under his fur
cleared and his walk (which before was a waddle) has improved
to being able to run just as good as any other young dog.

When I found out Neville was deaf I had to come up with my own “Out & about with my lovely foster Mum– don’t
sign language to be able to communicate with him. Now, Neville I look fabulous in my red bow tie?” Neville
can distinguish the commands come and treat! In Thailand I have
raised two puppies into senior-hood so I can confidently say that
Neville (estimated age 15) still thinks he is a puppy. He runs
around, plays with all the children on the beach and has been
nicknamed the ‘king of Bondi’ by shop owners in the area that he
visits on his walks. Even though Neville has no teeth I swear I
almost see him smiling. Lots of love, Natalia Siam and Neville

SO WHY DID I FOSTER A

‘SENIOR’ DOG?

1. One of the reasons I will always foster a senior dog Love my boy! Neville using my lap top...
is the majority of them are extremely calm, can
learn new tricks easily and you can tell they really
appreciate every little act of kindness you give.

2. Every year 27,000 cats and dogs are euthanized in Australia, many of which are seniors due to the belief
that nobody would adopt them. I’m extremely proud to say that Neville will never be a part of that statistic.

3. If you really want to know what it feels like to save a life, and don’t know where you’ll be in 10 years time,
foster caring for an elderly doggie is a beautiful way to give back to those who love us more than they love
themselves.

Here is an adopters story...By Edward Ip

My family and I have always loved dogs but never felt we had adequate time
to care for one, but now that I recently retired we all felt this would be a great
opportunity to share some of our family warmth with a rescue doggy.

We came across the Doggie Rescue website when searching for options for
where to adopt a dog. We filled out the form on the website and sent an
email to Monika not really knowing the process. She phoned us back and
explained that since we did not have any dog experience, it would be best for
our family to come down and walk the dogs to get to know what handling a
dog would be like before we talked about adoption. We took that advice on
board and felt it was the right thing to do next as not to jump in blindly. On
our first visit to the shelter we walked 2 dogs, Jeremy and Pippi and found as
expected each dog had their own personality and that love and patience
would be needed. The staff were quite helpful as we did not know the
procedure involved, everyone there just whole-heartedly cared for the dogs.

We came to walk the dogs 3 weekends in a row and really enjoyed the
experience. It grew our confidence in handling a dog and cemented our
family's love of dogs. We knew it was not a spur of the moment decision to
care for a dog and be it’s forever home.

We emailed Monika some candidates and
she phoned back giving her recommendation
and then booked in a day to meet the dogs.

We met Stockings and it pretty much was
love at first sight. He was very calm, loved
his pats and cuddles but looked most
excited when we opened the car door and he
pretty much lunged in. Monika suggested we
take him out to lunch and have some
bonding time outside the shelter so we
went . He was very well behaved and
seemed so ecstatic about the car ride that
we knew he was it.

A staff member helped fill out the adoption
papers and went through some very helpful
advice for our first time dog owning family.
The best piece of advice she gave us was
that our dog's behaviour may change after
he has settled in and things that he didn't
seem to do at first, he might start doing.

so far is – Well, Mum says
I have not had an inside
“accident” since I arrived at
my new home. But I thought it
was a bit impolite to mention
that in a family magazine.

My happiest moments are -
running around the dog park
like an Olympic sprinter and
cuddling on the bed...

I often wonder- why birds
continue to fly over my
territory when they know I
really don’t like it.

When I heard I was to star
in DoggieRescue magazine
I – felt so excited because it
would give me the chance to
thank Monika and all the
wonderful people at Doggie
Rescue for keeping me safe.

APRIL 2016 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 33

It took a while but I was
finally trained – to sit - don’t
know why I had problems
with that????

I hate to whine but – Alfie
being a bit younger, and
naughtier, sometimes
interferes with the smooth
running of the house. I’m not
a dobber but look at him
stealing that rubber glove in
the photo and you know it’s
not the first time.

My tail wags most when –
Alfie and I jump on Mum and
Dad’s bed in the morning for
our daily cuddle.

If I impersonated a famous
star I’d be - someone tall,
dark and handsome like
Hugh Jackman or Johnny
Depp (but not when he was
Captain Sparrow).

My Family say I have
taught them to - know that
after losing 2 gorgeous
Rhodesian Ridgebacks girls,
love comes back in the
shape of 2 amazing Kelpie
boys.

The benefits of adopting
TWO dogs are - a more
balanced life for everyone,
more fun to be had and not
so much worry about anyone
being lonely or bored.

At 2AM in the morning I
like to - sleep. Alfie on the
other hand is sometimes
keen to show off his tennis
ball and Olympic sprinting
skills.

My favourite place in the
world is – with my family
because then I know
everything is ok.

Remember that pets live in the moment. One of Our pets may not be able to tell us how they are doing,
the most wonderful things about animals is how they but if we pay close attention, there are many clues that
embrace the present. Every time I walk into my house, can help us answer that question.

WHAT IS A POUND?

Compiled by Corinne Daw

I googled “what is a pound?” and what came up the most was that a pound is a place for LOST AND FOUND
PETS. A place where they are cared for until they are claimed and reunited with their owners but in reality the fact is
that pounds are holding facilities responsible for the LIFE OR DEATH of 1,000’s of our most vulnerable animals.
There is a huge RESPONSIBILITY of the Council and the Manager/Staff of each pound for the level of CARE,
COMPASSION and EMPATHY given to these abandoned pets... and to their ultimate fate.

The basic purpose of the Code of Practice for the HOW IMPORTANT
Management of Dogs and Cats in Shelters and IS THIS CAT’S
Pounds is to support the welfare of those animals LEVEL OF CARE
which may require temporary housing pending TO YOU?
release to their owners or, if unclaimed, a decision
on rehousing. The Code exists to help ensure that
a person reclaiming his or her lost pet from a pound
finds the animal healthy and sound. The Code does
this by specifying the minimum requirements for
staff of establishments, minimum husbandry
conditions including nutrition and vaccination
requirements, and minimum hygiene, security,
exercise and housing requirements.

Recently 20 cats ( some pregnant, others lactating mothers with tiny kittens ) and many healthy young
kittens were euthanized in the one day at a local pound. For horrified Rescuers this was the last resort.

These questions need to be asked: High on the list as a requirement for all pounds is…

• WHY IS THERE SUCH A WIDE DISPARITY Staff training - ensuring ALL staff members have a baseline
OF CARE IN DIFFERENT POUNDS? standard of training and demonstrate the capacity to have
empathy towards animals. There should be a transparent level
• A NATIONWIDE SURVEY SHOWED THAT of engagement with the community (including animal welfare/
25% OF DOGS AND 56% OF CATS WHO rescue groups) that is courteous and polite at all times.
ENTER AUSTRALIA’S POUNDS EACH
YEAR ARE KILLED. WHY IS THAT? POUND - SHELTER - ADOPTION

• SHOULD POUNDS BE DOING MORE
TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS AND
SERVICES TO SAVE LIVES?

• IN EVERY POUND ARE HYGIENE &
CLEANLINESS PRACTICES PUT IN
PLACE TO ENSURE THE NON
TRANSFERRAL OF CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES?

• IS IT OKAY TO EXPECT RESCUERS TO
TAKE MOST OF THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR REHOMING?

• DO ALL COUNCILS OFFER PROGRAMS
SUCH AS FREE AND SUBSIDISED
DESEXING AND MICRO CHIPPING?

• DO POUNDS USE THE POWER OF
SOCIAL MEDIA ENOUGH TO SAVE/
ADOPT/SPREAD THE WORD?

• MANY AUSTRALIAN POUNDS TAKE “ Dante is just the sweetest little soul. This photo captures
NO PROACTIVE MEASURES TO exactly what Monika's Doggie Rescue is all about. LOVE and a
REUNITE LOST PETS WITH THEIR new beginning for an abandoned, precious fur baby.” Benette
OWNERS . WHY IS THAT?
WORKING TOWARDS NO-KILL: For a LOST/ABANDONDED/
• EUTHANASIA - IS IT THE NORM AFTER SURRENDERED pet ( many of whom are young and healthy )
THE HOLDING PERIOD IS ENDED …. going to a Pound should not mean a death sentence.
OR THE VERY LAST RESORT?
“Public awareness and expectations have changed a lot in the
“Councils stand behind tired old cliches for last decade. Communities no longer want our pounds and
killing, while failing to implement evidence-based shelters to act as an extension of garbage collection and
programs that save lives (like comprehensive disposal. They want pets to be respected, protected, treated,
adoption programs, medical and behavioural rehabilitated and given a second chance. No Kill is the aspiration
programs, proactively reuniting lost animals with of every pet-loving community.” Pet Rescue
