• FEATURE STORY : Adopting a Senior Dog Meet Amanda and Jarrad

The Joy of
Retirement

Written By Lori Wong

DOGGIERESCUE IS BLESSED
WITH MANY SPECIAL
VOLUNTEERS BUT NONE MORE
DEDICATED THAN FOSTERS AND
ADOPTERS OF SENIOR DOGS.

Two such special people are Amanda
and Jarrad who have given over their
home and resources to adopt senior
and unwell dogs from DoggieRescue,
to give them the love and care they
need so desperately at this point in
their little lives.

At DoggieRescue, the adopted oldies
are bundled up and farewelled to begin
their new lives with Amanda and
Jarrad in the South Coast of NSW.

Amanda says... “ We adopt old
and unwell dogs and provide a
loving home to our seniors for
the rest of their life.”

Everything awaits them,
like the VIP’s that they are
– beds, blankets, toys and
their very own, grandma
and grandpa to spoil them
with cuddles! To welcome
them, are their senior
companions with whom
they can gossip away the
day or enjoy a quiet
snooze in the sun….

JUNE 2017 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 11

To date Amanda and Jarrad have adopted 15 seniors in 3 years.
13 dogs who otherwise would languish waiting for their very own
home like so many, without finding that special person at the end
to whisper “I love you and now you are free”.

A bright new day awaits the little
oldies, full of excitement or a little bit
of peace and quiet but definitely a day
full to the brim with love. Whilst
adopting an oldie can have its
heartbreaks, it is also full of joy
because Amanda, Jarrad and family,
have made another new day possible.

Please think about adopting a Senior.

Ask not what animals can do for us,
but what we can do for them.

On July 7 last year, the NSW state government gave all animal advocates across the state and country a
glimmer of hope that finally, something was going to be done about the cruelty in greyhound racing in the
state. The then Premier Mike Baird banned the sport across the state, scheduled to commence from next
month. In announcing the ban, Mr. Baird described the goings on in the industry as “chilling”, “confronting”
and “horrific”. He also stated that the industry was cloaked in ‘a culture of deception”.

Sadly, after three months of intense political lobbying subsequently followed, sparked a backlash against Mr

Remembering little This article was meant to be a fundraiser for
Willy…. Our brave boy. Willy, instead it has become a memoriam to
his bravery & resilience..

When Willy first came into DoggieRescue’s care he
lived in a dark world where fear was his constant
companion. Willy was totally blind. For this little
‘golden oldie’ life was very SCARY but it was about
to change and on the 8th May Willy had an operation
to restore his sight. “ Willy has just come back from
cataract surgery and I always find it amazing how
they react when they first see - he is so happy. He
just stood there and turned his head all around. Willy
has had lenses implanted in both eyes.” Monika

Willy recovered well, a brand new world opened
up for him and a happy future awaited, sadly for
this darling boy it was not meant to be...

Willy passed away very peacefully in his
sleep on the 24th May 2017 knowing that
he was loved and cared for.

Hi Monika,

It s a year today that we found Jack formerly known as
Puddles, or rather he found us when we took him for a walk
at Monika's Doggie Rescue. He was extremely nervous and
fearful then. He’s very happy now, always wagging his tail,
so I hope he's happy with his choice!

He's absolutely gorgeous and everyone loves him.
The photo was taken last night, he sits under his girlfriend's
balcony and waits and waits and waits. She is a Beagle.
He 's a very level-headed and faithful dog!!

Monika, thank you for saving Jack. He's adorable and we
are very lucky to have him. Margot Cuthill

If anyone reading this magazine likes the look of our boy
Jack, consider adopting Felix our sponsor doggie if you
can. His story appears above. He's a wonderful little Foxy!
He needs a home. To meet Felix call 9486-3133.
