condiments and cakes, refreshments, a hot dog stall. On 4th November we
also held a CHARITY DINNER and total funds raised from both events was
$6,300.00. Just amazing! Everyone had a wonderful time with all funds going

Santa does not just come on Christmas Eve,
his spirit lives all year long, if only you believe!

he knows that they’ve been good all year.
Sometimes it does take him a little while…
He scratches his head, but then he will smile!!!
Another doggie finds their forever family

All I want for Christmas.....

Hello, Santa...it's me, Bubbles. I don't want to

written to you before with my Christmas wish
because I was told that you could see ALL the
good boys and girls...and they would get their
wish from you. But...I've been waiting for 5 years
now for my wish to come true and I didn't think I
was wishing for something toooo big.

All I want for Christmas is a family of my own to
love and, perhaps, a fur-sister to play with and
walk beside. I really LOVE walking. Maybe this
is why you have missed me for so long. Maybe I
want too much, do you think? I don't want a
fur-brother, or a cat, or a rabbit, or chickens…
just a couple of humans who would also love to
walk with me and let me sit on their knees.

Maybe you missed me because I'm not unhappy To see Bubble’s

the cleaning in our area and there's my special

Waiting
for Santa

A heart warming Christmas update from a much loved ex DR doggie Gryff...
Hello Readers,
We adopted Jessie from Monika’s Doggie Rescue just
before Christmas last year. At that time he was called
Gryff but we changed his name – new home, new start!
He was very hesitant at first, being a little old chap with
bad eyesight and having been at Doggie Rescue for
about 5 years. He didn’t like to be picked up and would
wander into the garage and stay there except for meal-
time and at night, so we let him do what he wanted and
put a basket out there for him. We do have five other
dogs, all inside dogs, and gradually over a few months
he started to come in and sit with them for a while.
Now he is with the other dogs all the time except when
he wanders off to have a sleep in his inside basket, he is
never in the garage now. Jessie lets us pick him up and
he sits with me on the lounge with the others to watch
television. It has taken till now for him to really trust us
but the journey has been well worth it. He has his
permanent home now and we will make sure he is well
cared for. Happy Christmas from the Robertson family.

CHRISTMAS Seb Jack Russell
PRESENT x 3yrs 12kgs Male
Sponsor: “Sending
love from Oxy!”
John Kinninmont

By Corinne Daw

Last year I was brand new—all bright and sparkly with the joy of living. I was
purchased as a Christmas gift in a spur of the moment decision with no thought
to my welfare or my future or the responsibility and cost of adopting a pet.

At first everyone in my new family loved me. I was “sooo cute” and “precious” and
all my baby antics were laughed at. The kids fought over whose bed I would sleep
on and I had so many toys to play with! I could do no wrong - I was the MOST
loved doggie in the whole world….. but it did not last!

I wet in the house and was a “dirty dog”, the children lost interest in me - computer
games were more fun! “Have you taken the dog for a walk!” Mum would say but
somehow there was always something more interesting for them to do. Then after
the January holidays I was alone all day. I cried and I cried. Then I barked and I
barked.

Bored- I started to dig holes in the garden or pull clothes off the line, which amused
me for a while. But my family was not AMUSED. Dad got so ANGRY and YELLED
loudly at me. I was terrified and started to snap at him. I was not allowed in the
house anymore but locked in the backyard. I would be so excited to see Mum in the
morning my tail would go around and around but she would just put my bowl outside
the back door and go inside again and then I would not see her again all day. Dad
would come home late, give me my dinner and go back inside the house again,
slamming the door in my face. I would stand at the wire door and watch them inside.

It seemed that nobody had any time or love for me anymore.
To them it was as if I had just disappeared. I was so lonely and miserable.

DECEMBER 2015 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 21

Then one day a strange man came to take me away. He put
a thick chain around my neck. I was frightened and did not
want to go. I would not walk so I was dragged and I heard
the man say “does he bite” and is he unpredictable”. He
gave me a pat as he put me in a cage in the van and slid
the lock in place. I heard him say to Mum “ You know
if you surrender this dog he won’t be kept for 7 days but
euthanized almost straight away!” “ We brought him last
Christmas to amuse the kids and have no time for the dog
anymore, he is just a nuisance!” was her reply. I looked
around and noticed that there were other cages in the van
too with many other frightened dogs, just like me. I could not
stop shaking and I wet myself. As the door of the van shut
with a bang, I was in darkness and my terror began…

The steel gate shut with a clang and the locks snapped into
place. Strange dogs were barking and howling. Everywhere
was noise and confusion. I was in a Pound!!!! As I shrank
back into the furthest corner of my cage sheer terror over-
came me. But staff at the Pound took pity on me. I was one
of the few lucky dogs who were to be rescued by Doggie
Rescue, on the day that we were all due to be euthanized.
I have a chance now to start again, with a different family
this time, but sadly I now come with baggage.

I am fearful, especially of men.
I am not housetrained or lead trained.
When voices are raised I wet myself.
I want to be loved but don’t know how to

respond or how to please people.
I have separation syndrome.

I am not socialized with other dogs.
I am a living toy which has been broken,

and then simply discarded.

PLEASE HELP ME—

I AM LAST YEARS
CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!

Seb, our gorgeous model, is not the dog mentioned in this story but he represents all the dogs who come to Doggie
Rescue having seen the very worst of humans. Seb is just an amazing boy who has learnt to love and trust again.

Christmas and I’m so excited!!!

Santa, I’ve Dad brought it in the other day
been a very and I thought—WOW!!! Then he
good girl... and Mum started to make it look
really pretty with lots of stuff like
coloured balls and shiny tinsel.
They even put a star on top -
imagine:)

Mum’s put a barrier around it so I can’t
use it until Christmas Day but when I
look at it my tail just wags and wags.
No more going out in the wet and
cold anymore and I can use it day
and night so I don’t have to hold
on. It is just the best present
anyone could give to a doggie
and I can’t wait until Christmas
Day. Chippy is going to have
his own ‘indoor toilet’.

Monika that came to live with us almost two years
ago. So Ziv decided that he wanted to
donate all the money that he made to help
rescue dogs. We told him about Monika's
and he really liked the idea. We promised
to take him to see some of the rescue dogs
so he knew where his money was going
and how it helps.

Please look out for $30.20 that has been
transferred to your bank account - Ziv
made this money mostly by selling 50 cent
bracelets. That's a lot of work for a five
year old! Ziv's Dad and I are thrilled to have
him learn at such a young age how to run a
small business, but more importantly, how
to look after and care for others.

Kind regards, Dana

My name is Linda and I am Pinky’s proud “Mum”. I was asked to
write an update on him because he was so loved at Doggie

fortunate that I was the one who got to adopt him! I remember
the first time I saw him on the Doggie Rescue website and I knew
straight away I wanted to meet him. And so began a couple of
long drives from Bundeena to Monika’s to get to know him.

They can also be fatal.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE… Just because we humans like to indulge in the

feast does not mean it is good for our dogs.

Rich, fatty foods can seriously upset your dog's

stomach and even be toxic. It is especially

important to keep your dog away from the

following dangerous foods: Onions, which can

cause anaemia (high levels of garlic can,

too), grapes and raisins, chocolate, bones

(especially cooked bones and ANY poultry

bones), alcoholic beverages and any foods

high in fat, sodium and/or sugar.

BUYING A
LIVE PET

• It is easy to succumb to the
adorable puppies, kittens and
bunnies who appear in pet
store windows at this time of

a temptation for parents but

purchases often end in
abandonment for those pets
who are dumped in pounds

Readers, what's the one thing animals
want for Christmas?

Kindness.

They really don't ask for much. Whether it's a
belly rub, a kind word, or simply some quality
time with their two-legged loved ones. Kindness
is a language that all animals understand. And
this Christmas, we have a plan to bring
kindness to those animals who need it most.

The reality is, while we celebrate "peace and

goodwill" to all, Christmas is a peak time of

suffering for animals raised for food. Pigs,

turkeys, chickens — every bit as inquisitive

and deserving as our pets at home — will be

subjected to cruelty upon cruelty in factory

farms and slaughterhouses. CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE PLEDGE:

You and I know that it's come to this because To have a Kinder Christmas and we'll send you a

keeping their secrets hidden from the public.

But take heart: over one million people have watched our eye-opening street interviews where we revealed the

pork industry's biggest secret to the public. And there's more. Today, 1 in 4 Australians are choosing to cut back

on animal products or are meat-free. Maybe you're one of them!

If like me you were brought up to celebrate the "traditional" festive feast, your first mental picture of a meat-free
Christmas might have a big hole in it where the pig or turkey used to be... But this year, you can enjoy a "traditional"
and delicious Christmas spread with all the trimmings, that is 100% animal-friendly. We call it a Kinder Christmas.

Let me show you what a Kinder Christmas looks like...

world a kinder place.” Lynn

Monika’s Doggie Rescue at the Kings Cross Dog Show - A big thank you to all the brilliant volunteers who battled
the rain to be at the very first Kings Cross Dog Show. Without our volunteers we couldn't get the word out about the
rescue and the doggies wouldn't have such fabulous excursions out! A heartfelt thank you from the MDR team!

at their stall during Newtown Festival raising
money for Monika's DoggieRescue.

“ For my son Xavier’s last birthday he decided to ask people for cash
instead of presents so he could donate the money to Monika’s Doggie
Rescue. You even featured a picture of him and our dog Elsa in your
magazine. He has had another great idea( see below ) and he thought
we should donate the profits to Monika’s.” David Kraus

The Newtown Festival in November each
“ Summer Hill Public School had a year brings over 50,000 people to the
‘Mufti Day’ in conjunction with BE popular inner west suburb. The Kraus family,
KIND TO ANIMALS WEEK and raised who live locally, saw it as a great opportunity
$200.00 for DoggieRescue. Thank you to raise money and awareness for their
so much from all the doggies..” favourite charity, Monika's DoggieRescue.
Together with their friend and neighbour Phil
Monika Donoghue they got cooking and created a
stall in their garage selling homemade
produce and organic honey from their bees.

Lime Pickle, red onion confit, grapefruit &
ginger marmalade, preserved lemons and
homemade gourmet biscuits proved very
popular with passers-by heading to or
returning from the festivities. The cookies
and honey were the most popular, both
completely selling out.

The stall raised over $300 for Monika's. Ten
year old Xavier's goal had been to raise
$200 so he was pretty happy!

With his bright red Santa hat on and
standing in front of a Christmas tree this
should be a happy festive photo but...

Poor Affanoso looks so sad, forlornly staring
at the camera. What is his history? We only
know that he came into the pound some
weeks ago from Marsden Park. He is a
strikingly coloured tabby with amazing odd
coloured eyes. Do you have love to spare?

This gorgeous boy is impound 4856 at
Blacktown Pound. He is 4-6yrs old, and is
just $110 to adopt. He will be desexed,
vaccinated (F3), micro chipped and life-time
registered. If you are interested, please call
the pound on 98396161.

Shelter since 02/10/2015

Tiger is one of the most top notch kitties we
have at the shelter at the moment. This
talkative feline is so friendly she will approach
anyone for a pat and a chin scratch. Tiger may
be 11 years young, but you wouldn’t know it,
this gorgeous girl has a twinkle in her eye and a
bounce in her step that makes her appear much,
much younger. Tiger is a rare ginger tabby
female, and her special face just captures her
lively and fun-filled personality.

This senior girl still has many plans for her
remaining years and she wants more than
anything to spend them with someone who will
love her, do you have room in your heart for
this exceptionally unique kitty?
