MEET DOGGIE RESCUE’S YOUNG DoggieRescue is incredibly grateful for the support and dedication
of our many young volunteers who make a real difference at Doggie
Rescue in a variety of ways. Below are some of their stories...

Will Gorman chose to support
Monika’s DoggieRescue as he
thought it was terrible for a dog to
not have a home and so he wanted
to try and help. Last year Will took
part in the Spring Cycle and raised
$3,700 for DoggieRescue. Will also
built a beautiful dog kennel that was
auctioned at the Woofmas in July
trivia night, raising $145 for the DR
doggies. Will was to do the cycle
again in October but an accident in
training resulted in a fractured wrist.
Despite not competing Will still
raised nearly $3,000. Amazing:)

Jackson Perri volunteers at
DoggieRescue and loves to help
train and give affection to all the
dogs. Jackson is often seen
teaching the dogs to sit, shake
hands & high five and a little
training helps a dog find a home
so Jackson’s job is a vital one -
besides, all the dogs love him.
Jackson says “It’s great to have a
dog as your best friend and if you
adopt a dog, I tell you, you better
be good to them because no
matter what they’re always going
to be there for you!”

It does not matter what your age is if you have compassion, a little time and a caring heart YOU can help. As
you can see there are many different ways that these amazing young people have changed the lives of the
doggies at DoggieRescue. The rewards? Perhaps a little lick. Or the many tails that wag with happiness
when they see you. Or perhaps just knowing that YOU have made a difference! What a great feeling:)

IS THAT OPTIMISM? Sam Be Brito for the appropriation.

With 2015 rapidly coming to an end it has dawned on me that issues of animal welfare have once again, seemingly,
taken a back seat. A cursory glance through the year around the world is sufficient to demonstrate this – think of
Cecil the lion, as merely one appalling example. Of course, there are the numerous organisations like Doggie
Rescue.com (now amazingly including cats!!) who successfully toil away tirelessly in support of animal welfare. Just
how many Monika Biernacki’s do we need to clone around the world? Yet it appears to be the case that for most of
humanity we survive existence by shutting our eyes to the cruelty we continue to inflict on animals.

Cartoons by Ryley Miller

The writer Thomas Ligotti once described optimism as that human rights and happiness are “self-evident truths”
the “undeclared policy of human culture-one that grew rather than stuff we have made up so that we can feel
out of our animal instincts to survive and reproduce- better about actually being little more than particles in

KNIT ONE….. PURL ONE….. SAVE ONE!!!

It is with pleasure that we can announce that the amazing Central Coast
Ladies Knitting Group (and one gent) have again supported DoggieRescue...

Money raised this year alone - $7,109.40…... which is just FANTASTIC!!

I am EXTREMELY proud of the commitment and dedication of my Central Coast
Knitting Team! Sadly a very special friend of ours, Patty Stuart who always supported our
efforts, has passed away and is very much missed by us all. Right now we are busily knitting

to re build our stocks ready for the coming 2016 season.

DoggieRescue would like to thank Lake Haven Shopping Centre and Bay Village at Bateau Bay.
Through the generosity of these Centre Managements and their patrons the amounts raised were

achieved! Yours sincerely, Teena Wratten, Central Coast Knitting Team

“Thank you so much for such an amazing effort. We really appreciate all your team
are doing. Indeed knitting is something of a dying “trade” amongst our young people
and that our mature ladies do so well! Thank you from all our doggies for all your

amazing commitment and your co-ordination.” Monika

Monika’s DoggieRescue is urgently seeking some very special people - committed Foster Carers to help look after
abandoned dogs and cats! DoggieRescue is currently almost at full capacity and for the desperate animals waiting
on Death Row in pounds ( like the dog above ) that means less chance of being rescued. Fostering a dog or cat for

only with the help of some special people with COMMITMENT, EMPATHY, PATIENCE and lots of LOVE to give.

Do you have what it takes? To be a Doggie Rescue Foster Carer, you need to provide a loving home until their
forever home is found. Committing to a dog/cat until they are adopted means we can rescue another animals life
from a Kill Pound in their place. Before you consider becoming a carer it is important to make sure that you can
make the commitment. For these abandoned pets, who have been so let down by humans in the past, to be placed
into a home only to be returned a few weeks later can have a devastating effect. “It is important to think this through,
maybe come and meet a few dogs/cats before taking one home. You will have a Foster Care Co-Ordinator to help
you with any issues but it is not something to be done on the spur of the moment, much as we love to see the dogs/
cats go home with caring families. No matter how many foster carers we have...it is never enough!” says Monika

In our special ‘FOSTER EDITION’ of DoggieRescue Magazine we will share stories from some of
our foster carers and showcase some dogs who would greatly benefit from a loving foster home.

TRULY IS A LIFE
CHANGING EXPERIENCE!

By Nikki Steadman DR Foster Care Co-ordinator

I've been fostering for Doggie Rescue since 2008 and
remember each foster doggie (and there have been a lot)
with a smile and a tear. A smile as each of them brought so
much laughter and light to our house and a tear because
it is never easy saying goodbye. With that in mind, there is
still nothing more rewarding than knowing that I have been
able to help a little soul that needed some respite,
rehabilitation or an extra hand along the way in their
journey of finding a forever home.

I often get asked ''how can you foster and give them up?"
or am told "I could never do that'' or '' I would get too
attached''. You know what? You will get attached! And it's
not easy! Many times tears have streamed down my face
as a foster dog has left my home or as I have driven away
after dropping them off at their new family. BUT IT'S STILL
WORTH IT!!

These doggies are so very forgiving of all that they have Nikki with Benny a previous foster dog
been through and so very resilient. Whilst I might be sad to
let them go, when you see your foster doggie go to the right You know your foster dog better than anybody! These

Also, some do not realise that as a foster carer you have their eyes and a renewed spring in their step. You get
'first right of refusal' on any potential new homes. to witness that and it's awesome!

FOSTERING HAS NUMEROUS BENEFITS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED:

1. It saves adoptable dogs from death at an overcrowded shelter. The more doggies in foster care, the more
doggies Doggie Rescue can take from the pounds.

2. It removes dogs from the hectic shelter environment and gives them a happy home to live in (and be
trained) while they await their forever home. Some dogs do cope better with life in a shelter. I always ask
which doggies could best benefit from being in foster before choosing my next charge.

3. It gives the foster parent the benefits of having a pet without the long-term commitment (or gives their
current pet a playmate). Don't automatically exclude yourself from having a dog if you have cats. We have
always had cats at home whilst fostering dogs and it has never been a problem. Dogs and cats can and do
get along famously in most instances if introduced correctly.

4. It allows the foster family to learn the animal’s personality so they can help the forever family determine
whether it’s a good fit for them (animals don’t always behave like themselves in shelters—how would you
act in jail?).

5. It allows the foster family to screen applicants and ensure that the pet is going to a good home. As a foster
carer you do have first right of refusal. You know your foster dog better than anyone as you get to spend
24/7 with them in your home.

6. If you plan to adopt a dog or cat in the future, it gives the foster parent incredible insight into what they
do or don’t want in their own pet. Be it breed, sex, age, etc.

NOVEMBER 2015 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 23

“ I must admit that personally I am an absolute softie for the doggies that need some extra love. I was happy
to be asked to talk about the fostering experience in this edition of the Doggie Rescue Magazine. Nothing is
closer to my heart. If you can take on one of these special little souls, I promise you will not regret it.” Nikki

It’s very common for foster carers to end up adopting their charges.
I am guilty! Twice in fact! Both times it has been my teeny, tiny, little
old man doggies. Nelson and Scooter. Both were 13 when I initially
fostered them. Nelson was first. I had him for 2 glorious years before
he passed away at 15. I thought I knew so much, but he taught me
so much. Unconditional love is where it's at! Scooter is still with me.
He is a cheeky and spritely 16 now. That's him with his tongue out
looking every so comfy in my lap. He makes me laugh numerous
times per day and dazzles me with his acceptance of all that comes
his way. We joke at home every time the Comparethemarket Meerkat
ad comes on TV. Don't you think he looks like a little meerkat?

Now, as the Foster Care Co-ordinator at Doggie Rescue I am also always available to talk to anybody who is
interested in fostering. Below are eight DR doggie who would greatly benefit from the one on one attention a
foster home gives. If you have any questions, concerns or ANYTHING that you want to talk about with
respect to fostering, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected] or call me on 0410 641 871.

When a dog comes into rescue they are bewildered and
frightened. Eventually they respond to the kindness of our
helpers and start to feel safer, but they are still living an
institutionalised life. They are one of many and they accept
this and make themselves as contented as they can with
as much attention as we can give them, but it isn’t enough.

Neville’s life should have ended at the pound but the
staff took pity on him and he came to DoggieRescue.
He was just skin and bones and he looked like, and
was, unwanted, unloved - expendable. A dog who had
never, ever been loved or been special to anyone. Dr.
Dee says “ When Neville came from the pound he
needed to stay at The Cottage Animal Hospital for quite
some time. He had the worst mouth I had ever seen.
He was very underweight and also had a double
perineal hernia. After several surgeries Neville had all
of his teeth removed and his hernias repaired.”

Time passes, the rest of his life is passing. He is a
lovely, gentle boy but has not appealed to any anyone,
as yet. So he waits. Neville is old and he needs to
know what love feels like. Don’t let him live his whole
life without knowing the joy of a loving home or ever
being special, to anyone.

Hi Fans,

Play with Here are my “SUMMER SAFETY TIPS
me? FOR DOGS” just in time ‘cause the
weather is HEATING up:)

Follow my advice for a safe and happy
Summer for you and your bestie….

Malinka English Staffy x 2yrs 12kgs Female • Pets need lots of WATER— Every pet MUST have
Sponsor: “A 4ever home soon!” Susan Cassidy access to lots of clean, cool water in the hot months. During
Summer your dog will drink more water than usual so it is a
Anna from Killarney Heights has donated good idea to have more than one container/bucket of water in
some cat and dog food from her pocket case one is knocked over. A great way to keep your
money - well done Anna! doggie cool is to put ice cubes in his water ( I like to crunch up
ice cubes in my mouth) or to give him a splash with the hose.

• Dogs NEED shade— If your dog is left outside during the day
he will need lots of shade areas/trees. If your yard is all
concrete he will need access to a veranda. Kid’s wading pools
make a great area for your pet to cool off in! - I love mine!

• NEVER, ever leave your dog in a locked car— Even with
the window down. Cars heat up really quickly and dogs can
die in a short time from heat exhaustion. HEATSTROKE is an
emergency! If your dog has become heat stressed cover with
a cool, wet towel. He needs to go to the vet — NOW!!!

• NEVER walk your dog on a hot day! Dogs look forward to
exercise but make sure that you do it either very early in the
morning or wait until the sun goes down. Also if you feel the
heat from the concrete footpaths and roads on a hot day
imagine how hot it is on the unprotected pads of your dog’s
feet! Young and older dogs feel the heat more. Also over-
weight dogs, short nosed dogs like Pugs, Boxers etc, dogs
with thick dark coats, dehydrated dogs and sick dogs!

• Doggies do get SUNBURNT too! Can you believe it, they do!
White or light coloured dogs need sunscreen (available from
pet supply stores or from your vet ) on their nose and the tips
of their ears as they can easily sunburn and sunburn hurts.

• Pools can be DANGEROUS for dogs— NEVER leave your
doggie unsupervised in/near a pool. What if he falls in and
can’t get out? Or he can’t swim? Keep the pool gate closed:)

Looking for dog friendly beaches? Go to www.doggo.com.au for
lists/area maps. This coming school holidays make sure you plan
some outings for your doggie. Summer is a great time and it can
be enjoyed not only by you but by your bestie too! C/U Chips

“ There is a desperate mother cat with 3 kittens at a pound and if we don’t find a foster home
for one of the adults then we can’t take them, there is just no room….” Luci - DR Welfare Officer

Yes Jessica, we as a rescue shelter know how you feel.
It is COMPLETELY and OVERWHELMINGLY tragic.

Just in the last few days DoggieRescue has saved a
very pregnant cat (Toffee) and 3 little only 2 week old
kittens (that are being bottle fed by Dee at The Cottage
Animal Hospital – Panda, Koala and Turtle) on Friday
from Hawkesbury. We also rescued a 6 week old kitten
Sylvester from Renbury Farm who has cat flu. We are
rescuing a 4 month old kitten (that no one wants
because he is too old) from Renbury Farm tomorrow.
His name is Isaac ( see photo at right ).

There is a mum with 3 kittens at Fairford Rd if we don’t Isaac
find a foster home for one of the adults at The Cottage
Animal Hospital we can’t take them…Also Mosman Vet
is most likely taking 7 kittens from Fairford Rd through
DR. With the kitten season here it will only get worse. If
only we could find foster carers for our adult cats while
they wait for a home then we would have room to save
more of these desperate cats and vulnerable kittens.

CAN

YOU

HELP

US?

Toffee, recently rescued very pregnant Mum has an ultra sound to check
on the health of her bubs at The Cottage Animal Hospital.

Christmas is fast approaching and with the cat breeding season in full swing pounds are full and desperate cats and
tiny kittens have to be moved from the pounds or they will be euthanized. It is especially important for the adult cats
( mother cats whose kittens are now adopted ) to go to a foster home and so free up their cages for new arrivals.

See page 52 and see the available older kittens and adult cats in need of adoption or foster care at DoggieRescue.
