In the future maybe we will need to deal with dog cloning
issues as Roland points out, the way puppy milling issues
affect us today, or maybe we will all be wise and have
learnt from previous experience. Whatever happens it is
always the voiceless animals that come off second best
in these debates.

We have a magazine filled with mug shots of some of our
current residents and many more pictures and videos on
our social media pages. There are so many to choose
from just waiting to bounce into your life. Come and do
some dog walking and check them all out.

We have finally got the dog yard refurbishments to a
stage where our dogs can use them. We are already
observing a dramatic reduction in their anxious energy. It
is so good to see! Our new walkway is also aiding the
calm exit of the dogs to our front gate. Calmer, more
manageable dogs, means calmer happier workers and
volunteers too! (see photo at the top of the page)

Hello Readers,

Volunteering at the Doggie Rescue has been
one of the most rewarding experiences of my
life. Over the past few months I have been able
to help with everything from preparing feeds and
playing in the yards, to seeing off my favourite
dogs to their new happy homes.

As someone who is interested in a veterinary
career I figured volunteering would be a great
way to gain experience working with animals

Ruby & Tanami

BONDED SISTERS

Hello Readers,

My name is Keryn and I am a DR Volunteer.
In this capacity I meet many dogs of all
shapes and sizes. I love them all but there are
always some who are so special and really
touch my heart. Sisters Ruby and Tanami are
such a pair.

Ruby and Tanami are a bonded pair looking
for their "furever" home together. These girls,
while quite attached to each other, are very
friendly with other dogs of all sizes. These two
girls are often seen at our Petbarn sites, or
other Doggie Rescue events.

Both girls are child friendly, and are well • Sponsors: “In memory of Ralph, Floyd & Steffie!” Verena &

confident in your presence. BUT, don't think
you can give one attention and the other
won't be straight along for it as well!! :)

Ruby is a Kelpie x Shar Pei
approx. 18 months to 2
years of age. Ruby is a little
dependent on her sister, and
needs a family that is going to
give her time with her sister as
well as individual time with a
family member. Ruby loves a
cuddle with you. She would be
great for long walks or possibly
even a light jog, building her
confidence and trust.

cuddled up together watching

those around them.” Keryn

Tanami is a Kelpie x Shepherd approx. Waiting...

quite confident when out on walks and needs a
strong family member to give her some basic
training. Ruby loves a cuddle and belly rub and
is known for her sweet kisses. Tanami is
always looking out for her sister Ruby.

These girls do not show any jealousy with at-
tention between them, but they do nudge you to
let you know they are also there. It is very cute
to see them cuddled up together watching
those around them.

• UPDATE Where is Salty ( aka SKITTLES ) now? BY LIESL TESCH AM

“ SALTY ”

“ From a feisty little beast that has come from a sad
life, he is quickly evolving into a perfect family friend.”

We are so happy to have Salty living with us,
and I'm sure he is thrilled too! We picked Salty
from his photo on the internet, and were warned over
the phone that he was not such a friendly little four-
legged dog. He confirmed this when we met him,
nipping both my partner and myself as we ventured out
with him in the car after a short getting-to-know-you
information session with Monika. Despite his nervous
need to nip, we fell in love and had to take him home.

We changed his name from Skittles to Salty and he has
grown into the perfect dog so far as I am concerned;
friendly, warm, affectionate and absolutely adorable.

Salty loves kayaking, going out on the boat, running He is still nervous around some strangers, shoes, sticks,
beside the bicycle, hunting invisible rats, chasing ducks loud noises, and every now and again (becoming less
and guarding the yard. He is a little bit bigger than a lap often as time goes on...) forgets about his new secure
dog, but that doesn't stop him, and he has learned to life and tries a quick nip when he is startled. He is still

Dad’s... going to take a long time for the little guy to fully recover

Thanks so much to Monika and the team at Doggie
Rescue for saving another life! Mark, Salty and I are
thrilled to be together. Liesl Tesch AM
