“ LIFE INSTEAD OF DEATH ” - A NO-KILL SHELTER



However now people are coming forward and taking the
plunge. Never in the 30 years of rescue have I heard of
pounds having almost no pets and even Blacktown
pound currently has no cats and dogs needing rescue
help, though there are plenty on offer for the public.
Extraordinary times.

Our featured cover girl big Mama Chrissy came from the
pound to us with one day old pups. We hear some of her
pups are bigger than her now! She is still patiently
waiting for some Mother’s Day love. We also visit some
of our other previous Mums, Primrose who is quietly
recovering from a foot injury and an ex DR doggie Bonita
who was adopted with one of her sons! That is such a
beautiful story, where the family adopted a pup, and then
came back for Mum as she was still here waiting. Mother
and son are now inseparable.

I guess for me the most precious story in this magazine
is the adoption of my beautiful Stevie Wonder our
disability dog who came to us as a tiny pup and has just
found a beautiful family with the talent and care needed
to love and spoil him. Tovah has taken some beautiful
Mother’s Day shots with some of our gorgeous kids too!

Meet Primrose —Labrador x 4 years 22kgs Female

I’m looking for a kind family to love me. I want to trust but am sometimes afraid, but given time, I’m an affectionate,
gentle girl. With security and love I could put my sad past behind me. I’m best suited to a calm household with
secure fencing. I like to walk at a good pace, love to jog and have some basic obedience. I love pats and cuddles
and I hope that this Mother’s Day finds me snuggled up with my new best friend beside me. PLEASE, PICK ME!

sunglasses and not fond of children as they
make noise and are unpredictable. They do
scare me at times. I love to jog, and have
many friends who love me to bits because they
know the real me. I need a special person,

me and love all my funny little quirks.

with my food and I can be a bit ‘snatchy’ but please
understand food is important to me. Sometimes I need
encouragement, I can be scared of different things. I’m
not perfect but you could train me as I’m only young. I
could relax with you, in your arms, and we could grow
to love each other but we need to meet.

Hey Everyone!
Looking for an affectionate, nicely mannered boy?
Well, I’m here!!! In my past life I did not receive much
love or attention, I lived a lonely life as an ’outside’ dog.
Since being at DoggieRescue I have gotten used to
sleeping indoors and even having a warm, comfortable
bed and clean blankets at night. I love to receive
affection from people I know and I walk pretty good on
a loose lead, and have a gentle nature. Come closer..I
can be a bit food possessive, I mean, I know what it is
like to have nothing so you can’t blame me and I would
be better in an adult home. I don’t like rough handling,
loud voices screaming at me or to have people come at
me in a rush. It brings back bad memories. Walkers
say I’m a "beautiful boy" "and am becoming more
affectionate than before” and I even climb into laps now
to have a rest. Some volunteers I really love now.

CELEBRATING


By BONITA Simpson
MOTHER’S DAY
ADOPTION UPDATE




Hello Readers,

I don’t really remember much about my
life before I came to DoggieRescue only
that I arrived with my 5 pups. Everyone
there was so nice - they told me I was a
good Mumma and that I was beautiful. We
were all looked after very well at the shelter
and taken on walks, had delicious meals
and were given lots of love and cuddles.
Eventually, all my babies were adopted and
went to their forever homes.

One day a family came to take me for
a walk. They came back to visit me a
couple of times and after a while they came
to take me in their car. That day there were
kennel hands and volunteers all standing
around crying, patting me and saying
goodbye. That was the day I ended up in
my forever home. I was adopted!!!!

“ My new life had begun!”

MAY 2020 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 13

“ When I first arrived, everything was so new and unfamiliar and I was a bit unsure until I realised that
there was one very familiar thing in my new home.....one of my pups, Benji!” Bonita


Benji,
Bonita &
Brittany
























Benji & his
Mummy (me!)

That was just over two years ago now and since then, I have
grown more confident and have had lots of fun. I’m always
getting told that I’m a good girl and that I’m beautiful and very
special. We have lots of fun going for walks, chasing a ball at
the dog park and going to the beach - swimming has become
one of my favourite things. I have lots of delicious food and
I’m allowed to sleep on whichever couch or bed I choose. I get
endless pats and cuddles which suits me just fine as that’s
when I’m happiest. I have even had play dates with two of my
other puppies—that’s my daughter Brittany above with me and
Benji on the beach and also another son Bolt has met Benji
and I in the park for some play and catch ups!
Bye, for now!
Benji and I are so happy and we do everything together.
My family say that we are like mirror images of each other.
They also say that they are so happy we adopted them and
that they can’t remember life before us.

This Mother’s Day is my second in my forever home and I
will celebrate it surrounded by my son and forever family.

4. You help DoggieRescue learn more about the foster
dog’s personality. Whilst the kennel staff interact with
the dogs every day, it is hard to know much about a dog
when it is living in a shelter environment with dozens of
other dogs. Placing dogs in foster homes helps Doggie
Rescue learn if the dog likes children, begs at the table,
chases cats, barks when crated, knows any basic
commands or has high or low energy. The possibilities
of what a foster family will learn about a dog are
unlimited.

5. You may appreciate even more your own dog’s good
behaviour, or maybe you will realize that the foster dog is
better behaved than your own dog! It makes it a whole lot
easier for the foster family to show a foster dog the rules
because they have another dog to copy. When your dog
heels at your side the foster dog is more likely to walk
appropriately around you. Your foster dog, if necessary
will learn more quickly how to sit on command with your
dog as a role model and that it is OK to be left home
alone or in a kennel. As long as your dog is in sight, and
the foster dog does not feel alone, separation anxiety will
be reduced or eliminated. If your dog has calm energy, it
is amazing how often this transfers to the foster dog.

AURORA’S
SAVING AURORA


FUNDRAISER



BACKGROUND: Aurora is a granny who came from the pound.
She is a 13yo Malamute x Rotty, according to the microchip.
We quickly ascertained she had a fast growing lump on her
front leg that worried us greatly. The biopsy revealed it was a
Grade 1 Soft Tissue Sarcoma. Sarcoma’s are very vascular
(they bleed a lot) and grow quickly at the same place. They
often burst but tend not to spread to other parts of the body.

SURGERY : We have had a specialist operate and remove the
lump and we are trialling a new anti-cancer vaccine developed
at North Shore Hospital as a follow-up treatment post-surgery.
Luckily these tumours are slow to regrow, if they do at all, so
Aurora has a good chance now of a complete recovery.




























A BRAVE GIRL : Aurora has recovered from the operation—see the huge amount of stitching needed in the photo
above. It took her a little time to get over the anaesthetic and to want to try and walk again but after bandage removal
(which was a bit uncomfortable) and some visits from people who she knows Aurora is walking well now with little
swelling on the surgery site. She is also eating well. Aurora is doing really well for a granny! We are so proud of her.
She has shown such bravery and resilience through a very tough time, especially for an older girl.

IF YOU CAN HELP SWEET AURORA ON HER WAY TO RECOVERY, SHE WOULD APPRECIATE IT!

PETS LIVING We catch up with some ex DR dogs
and find out how they are coping
in lockdown. What do they get up
to and how has their life changed
IN LOCKDOWN!
since the scary pandemic called
COVID-19 arrived in Australia.

Hello from Honey,

My Mum has set up full time office in
the house while this scary virus is out
and about. This is making me really
happy as everyday feels like a
Sunday! There are a few people at
home so even if one is busy you can
be sure I will get a cuddle or treat
from another member of the house-
hold. I do like to help during very
important conference calls, I get to
jump into that thing they call "zoom"
apparently it is the new trend when
you work from home and you speak
to your colleagues. Well I get to
speak to my doggie pals that are
keeping company to their humans
as much as I do with my family.

“ I love my routine, so if they get too
carried away with their emails or calls
I do make sure to jump on the table
and give my best look to make them
understand it is MY time to get to play
and have full attention! “

As you will see in the photos I am
sending you, I have managed to find
my happy place in every way possible.
On the outdoor lounge chair hanging
out with the family, on the bed sleeping
with my Daddy, on the lounge in the
living room if I have pushed my Daddy
of the floor I am definitely always
between my loved ones!

MAY 2020 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 27
I have been with my family for
5 months now, how crazy! It
feels like I have always been
part of their clan for ever. I
have made them so happy,
they keep telling me they
couldn't live without me and I
must say I do feel the same
about them! Mummy keeps
saying that I keep her relaxed
as she loves watching me
sleeping, I think her second job Nanna, You don’t
at the moment is paparazzi have to practice self
she keeps bringing her phone distancing at home
out to take photos of me, she
sends them to her colleagues
to cheer them up and calls it
the "Honey update".

Stay safe everyone, doggie
and kittie pals, enjoy this time
to regroup with your dear ones
give them the strength to push
through the uncertainty.

Love from Honey Bun (as they
like to call me! )

ISOLATING WITH MY

BEST FRIEND TILLY

Written by: Frankie aged 11 years

Hi Readers,
Tilly is definitely the best dog for staying home with
Now that I’m doing my schoolwork at home, I’ll be especially at a time like this. She loves to have a little
spending a lot more time at home. My siblings and I nap in the office when Mum is working and if we go
are getting fed up being home so much so to keep us outside to play she loves to come to join us and have
occupied we have been taking our dog (Tilly that we a sunbathe. And when my mum and I play netball in
got from Monika’s just over a year ago) on lots of the garden she loves to come and watch until the ball
walks. We go on lots of walks around our suburb or gets near her! When I sit down to watch TV, Tilly will
take a car trip to Bayview dog beach where Tilly can come charging in and wag her tail. Then once she’s
run and swim and have fun with the other dogs. calmed down, she’ll fall asleep knowing I’m there.

MAY 2020 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 29
These unprecedented times could see children embark on an unprecedented remote education
experience to help halt the spread of COVID-19. If that happens Tilly will be right by Frankie’s side!







On weekdays when I’m sitting at my
desk doing schoolwork, Tilly will
come, sit by me and lie down by my
feet, and it’s nice to know she’s
there to comfort me. Sometimes in
the evening when we’re all together,
we sit around Tilly and rub her
tummy, and she loves that. Once
you start rubbing her tummy it’s
hard to stop because she loves it
so much! It’s like doggy heaven!






































“ Having Tilly at home with us during this time is lovely and comforting, she is always ready for a game
or a pat or a walk. And I think Tilly is enjoying having us all home all of the time too!” Frankie

FRED HAS BECOME

Written by : Sonya King
AN ISOLATION BUDDY!


A few weeks ago Fred was just one of the many
homeless dogs at DoggieRescue hoping for adoption.
The blind 10 year old Maltese x caught the eye of a
weekend volunteer at the shelter and the rest is now
history. Fred went home with his new Mum Sonya to
settle in to what could be a long period of his Mum
working at home due to the Corona Virus.

Hello Readers,

I know Fred had many friends so I wanted to send an
update on his new life. Fred is an angel and is settling
in well to his new home, We brought him home in late
March and already we can’t imagine life without him.
He is a very sweet , gentle boy which was really
important given we have a 10 year old indoor house
bunny named Bella. Fred was gentle and let her sniff

and check him out from day one but Bella Bunny But it was only a few days till she adjusted and they have
wasn’t sure of her new little brother for the first few now both settled and now sit together on the couch with
days and every time he fell asleep she would hop me every night and watch TV. He will come up to me while
over to his bed and get up on her hind legs and on the couch and ask to be picked up and often when
watch the little snorer! sitting next to me on the couch will climb up on my lap.

MAY 2020 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 31

Fred has adjusted to his new house and Fred and his bunny sister Bella
backyard and even though he is blind he has bond with quiet times together
already figured his way around and gets up
and down a little step in the backyard, he is
gaining more confidence every day and
doing well on his little walks in the morning
already he knows the routine and the route.

Here is a photo of my baby boy Fred with his
sister Bella on the couch. He is already
famous – being featured online on MSN,
getting a 2 page spread in the SMH and
featuring on my company intranet and
social media, showing others just how great
rescues are!

“ It is unbelievable in a time of such crisis I
fell in love and gave a small, sad dog a
forever home and a second chance in life!”


AN INTERVIEW WITH “ZEUS”
Written by

Jen Barbour Mastiff x 6yrs 28.6kgs

Hey gentle boy, how are you doing? I’m OK! I’m lucky I
have some special friends at the shelter (both dogs and
humans) so I get lots of love and attention. I have some
special kennel hands Kat & Kelly who take me out for
nice sniffy walks in the bush where I’m less likely to
bump into people and get a fright.

Any fun facts we should know? When I get really
excited I scoot my legs up under my bum and just GO!
Everyone thinks it’s funny and I like making people laugh.

“ Zeus has spent a while at DoggieRescue, he's a bigger
doggy and quite nervous. Hopefully someone will see
past his fear and realise what a gentle, sweet dog he is.
Once he likes you Zeus is affectionate and really lovely.
He gives cheeky kisses when he thinks you are not
looking. I want him to find someone who is patient, kind
and understanding. Someone who will keep him safe
from the things that scare him, and slowly introduce him
to the world. Once he trusts you, Zeus just closes his
eyes ( see photo at left ) and loves cuddles.” Jen

This interview is not only to highlight Zeus, a doggy who
needs a lot of love to get over his sad past, but also in
remembrance of Zeus’s kind long term sponsor Hughie
Wray who only recently passed away with cancer.

LOCKDOWN




IN NEW YORK





Dear Readers,

Normally a bustling city with lively restaurants, cafes and
shops just outside my window, now Manhattan has gone
silent apart from the sirens of the ambulances that you can
hear going by throughout the day and night.

The apartments here can be on the smaller side, so it can
make it difficult to stay in for days on end. We are also finally
able to put away our giant winter coats and are heading into
spring. The weather has started to warm up and the trees
have bloomed with pink and white flowers. We are allowed
to get out for some exercise so long as we keep the 2 metre
distance, which people have been good about obeying. It's “ Usually my walk consists of heading
actually easy to remember to do this when those walking to Central Park which is a few blocks
around you all have on their masks and plastic gloves, away. It's easier walking in the park
which reminds you there is something dangerous around. because it's much more spacious so you
can spread out from others.


MAY 2020 DOGGIESRESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 35

We catch up with Tricia who with her husband us currently going through COVID-19 isolation in New York….



I also go to the park because tons
of people take their dogs for walks
through there, and there are some
good off-lead spaces for them to
run around and play with other
dogs. It's so sweet to watch them
be their happy, goofy selves, and
takes everything out of me to not
to pet them when they come close
by and are looking for a little pat!

My husband Mark and I moved
here from Sydney about a year
ago, and I've been volunteering
with a local no-kill rescue
shelter. Since the virus started
however, they have been able to
foster out all of their dogs and
cats and are managing all
adoptions online now to stay
safe.


I do miss my normal routines including going
to the animal shelter, but one new routine we
now have is, every single day at 7pm (this is
the normal time for shift changes in
hospitals) New Yorkers open their windows
to clap and cheer for all those essential
One of the workers still working on the front lines -

from the group delivery people, grocery store workers,
I worked with. pharmacists, etc.

“ Neighbours blare music like
Sinatra's 'New York, New York' and
some people even go out on their
balconies to dance.”

I do miss the buzz of the city, the excitement
of trying new restaurants, walking around
different neighbourhoods, people watching,
and petting lots of dogs, but this is temporary
and we will get through it. Hope everyone
and your families are staying safe and
healthy during this worrying time.

POSTCARDS!




Hi Monika,
Just hanging out with my
family watching the kids play &
occasionally doing this crazy
puppy lap of the backyard.
Mum has left a patch of yard
for me to hide & sleep in.
Love & licks to all my friends,
Valentine



















Hi Monika,
Having lots of fun. If I come back to
Sydney I will visit but I can’t ever come
back to stay...Mum loves me too much!
Wish you were here….Yogi

Zeus has seen the
worst of humans, will
you show him the
best? Meet him p31.
