Our magazine is packed with the best stories

Since January 2018 almost 300 dogs have been
adopted from DoggieRescue. Each, in their own
way, was special. On these two pages we focus

2019— Let’s bring it on!


“ In the the short time that Saffy has been with us there
has been a dramatic change in her. She loves pats &
playing, and most of all walks with Piper. We still get the
occasional growl & snap but it’s becoming less & less.

everyone at DoggieRescue for keeping Saffy safe until
we all found each. Olivia, Ian, Piper & Saffy

FOSTER OF THE

YEAR ‘SCARLET’

Monika retells the heart warming story of a gentle
dog called Scarlet who, against all odds, survived
having her leg amputated and chemotherapy,
to find love and happiness with a special family.








Dear Readers,

Our search for, and successful finding of a
foster carer for Scarlet our osteosarcoma girl
was definitely our foster of the year for 2018.

Back in August we were contacted by a pound
with a 9 year old ‘RESCUE ONLY’ Boxer x
with a swelling on one foot. The reports from
the pound were that this dog had a beautiful
nature and adored hugs. We decided to give
her a chance and Scarlet ( as we called her )
was rescued.

We biopsied the mass on her foot and results
were the worst we could have expected. She
had osteosarcoma, an aggressive, very painful
cancer that spreads quickly through the body
and can result in spontaneous fractures at the
site. The prognosis was that if we did nothing
Scarlet might have just a few short, painful
weeks or months to live but with total leg
amputation and chemo she might get up to
12 months on average, perhaps even more of
pain free life. We decided on amputation and
then a course of chemotherapy.

Scarlet needed to find a foster family
“ In early November Scarlet found her foster family
and it was such a special day!” Monika before chemotherapy could begin.

JANUARY 2019 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 13
Scarlet and Jane and Kev

“ A FOSTER FAMILY ”


After grieving the loss of our little Buster, who we had for 18 years, we
ventured up to Monika's Rescue and started volunteering to walk a few
dogs each weekend. We met many dogs of various types, each and every
one a delightful character. We thoroughly enjoyed walking with them and
looked forward every week to going up to visit the dogs at Monika's. We
also met so many wonderful people who give their time to help out there.

“ After about a month of just walking dogs, I felt I would like to help out more
and was wondering what I could do. One Sunday, while waiting for my
four-legged walking companion to be brought out, I was reading the notices
that are posted around the venue. I saw the notice about Scarlet and
By Jane & Kev straight away I wanted to do what I could to help her. I contacted Monika
and arranged to meet Scarlet and was taken with her straight away.” Jane

Scarlet came to live with us and she didn't take long to
settle in. She loves to snuggle and be hugged and she loves
food and she responds so well to us. Everybody who meets
her says how lovely she is. When we walk down the street, or
at the dog park, people always stop to talk to her and fuss
over her. Children just adore her and she adores them! She
loves being with people, she loves children, she loves playing
with other dogs and she even loves cats. They all come up to
her and say hello and connect straight away with her. She is
such a beautiful girl! She has so much love to give and she is
so gentle and sweet natured, despite her size.

We are often asked why she lost her leg and when we tell
them the story they say how amazingly well she is doing.
Especially considering it is only a few months ago that she
had her leg removed. One man commented "If that dog had
four legs you wouldn't be able to keep up with her!" Oh yes!
She certainly gets up a pace and we have to run or jog to
keep up with her. The chemo gets her down but not for long.
She is a strong girl and fighting the disease and doing really
well. She has made her way into our hearts and home and
we have nicknamed her Scallywag.

We are so grateful to Monika for the heart and mission that
she has to save lives. We are so glad that she rescued
Scarlet and that she can now be a part of our lives. We are
so glad that we can get to make Scarlet's life a little better
and be able to help her through this difficult time.

I would highly recommend to anyone to give an animal BECOME A FOSTER CARER
another chance at life, love and happiness, because when We need YOU!
you give a little of what you have you get so much in return. www.DoggieRescue.com

REFLECTIONS &
2019 RESOLUTIONS
By Bianca Nati

Bianca is a long term kennel hand at Doggie

the year past and some resolutions for the future.

ups and downs, many challenges, and lots of heart issues and is pictured with me above.

Being in the rescue industry, it feels like at times you’re
constantly dealing with the negativity inflicted by humans.

of our bigger and unexpected losses was our challenging but thankfully, we have a lot more positive
lovely boy Jax. He was one who made you work moments at the shelter than negative ones. The main reason
being our adoptions and the wonderful families the dogs find!

One recent adoption that brought so much joy to me
personally, was the adoption of our gorgeous old lady
Heather—who I featured in the October 2018 DoggieRescue
magazine. Heather came to DoggieRescue in a horrible state
with huge mammary tumours, and thankfully we got lucky
cause they were benign! After just over a year and a half, she
has finally found her forever home where she can live out the
rest of her days knowing what having a real family outside of
the shelter feels like!

There have been so many happy and heart warming
adoptions, which makes what we do all worth it in the end.
We also meet a tonne of new and amazing people each
year, giving up their time to assist us with the dogs. Whether
it be to walk them, assist us at events, feed them, clean up
after them, give them massages (I’m ALWAYS jealous of the
dogs with this one!) or help organise the volunteer walkers
that come in to take them out for their big walk! We wouldn’t
be able to do what we can do now without the powerful help

ADOPT A

SUPER SENIOR
Old dogs need homes too!
www.DoggieRescue.com


Is adopting a new dog on your agenda for 2019? Have you ever thought of giving an older dog a home?
Buddy ( was Cupid ) was adopted from DoggieRescue by Kate and Martin Bevz in August 2017 when he
was 11 years old. His adoption photo appears above. This is his story….


OUR BUDDY
By Kate & Martin Bevz

The first day we met Buddy was full of
mixed emotions. He was somewhat
absent, shy, scruffy and probably a bit
confused as to what would happen next.
We took him for a walk and after a short
time felt a connection.

The first few weeks were difficult and
emotionally draining. Buddy would spend
his days scratching his tummy on the
carpet and digging at the front door when
we were not home. He struggled to walk up
the three flights of stairs to our apartment.
As he only has 3 teeth, we had to try a
variety of soft and wet foods to see what he
could eat, what he liked and what would
not upset his stomach. We had a few
toilet accidents…

But day after day, when we came home
he would greet us with such joy. He would
jump up and down, run around wanting to
play, snuggle up next to us on the lounge
and roll over for tummy scratches.

We were getting to know him, and he
was getting to know us....

With some advice from our vet, a course of Apoquel We go for a short (sometimes slow) walk in the morning

restaurants and he loves travelling in the car. He is
always flattered when people call him a puppy (despite When we arrive home from work he leaps off the bed
being almost 13 years old).” to come say hello. He loves to run around, thrash a
sock around and show off.
As an older dog, he is calm and happy with his own
company. He now spends most of his day sleeping on Buddy is strong and confident around other dogs,

volunteer positions at DoggieRescue. You know we THANK YOU ALL but this article is about a special group of
volunteers who for the last 13 years have had an annual stall to raise thousands of dollars for the doggies.

Express your love and commitment to the doggies who no one else cares about!

My name is Rachel. I am a Lifesaver and
Volunteer at DoggieRescue.

Rachel with ex DR
doggie Bodrik I know that the money I donate on a monthly basis is
(now Bodhi ) put to good use in looking after the dogs and cats at
DoggieRescue - I see this in action every time I
volunteer up at DoggieWood! Lifesavers really are just
that ! The program was set up a number of years ago
when DoggieRescue was really struggling to survive.
Through the generosity of these wonderful donors,
Monika and her team have been able to continue
saving dogs and cats (and rabbits and guinea pigs!)
from the council pounds around Sydney and NSW. I
am really proud to be a Lifesaver and would encourage
others to do the same. Just a small monthly
contribution helps makes a difference at DoggieRescue
and contributes towards food and vet bills and also
“ I am really proud to be a Lifesaver and ongoing maintenance of DoggieRescue. Rachel
would encourage others to do the same. “

JANUARY 2019 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 21






































With your regular monthly contribution our life-saving work will continue….



• Your contribution of $29 per month pays for food & shelter costs for 1 doggie
• Your contribution of $49 per month pays for food, shelter & veterinary costs for 1 doggie

• Your contribution of $79 per month pays for food, shelter and veterinary costs and contributes
to the expansion of our program – there are thousands more lives to be saved!



DoggieRescue is dedicated to saving precious lives. These dogs receive
immediate medical care, are de-sexed, vaccinated and micro-chipped and
await a loving family at our shelter, “Doggie Wood” at Ingleside. We are a
“no-kill” shelter. Our commitment to these dogs is for the rest of their lives.
Our running costs are considerable and increasing. We receive no
government funding and rely exclusively on donations.

Hi Fans,

I’m bored. We’re on holidays but
Mum and Dad have gone out. I
dug a few holes looking for my
bone I buried and couldn’t find
it...then barked for a while….
played with my Christmas
presents...barked again for a
while. Bark. Bark. BARK!

Then I had an idea! I thought I
would play the “Thinking Game”.
This is a game where you try to
work out things that confuse you.
Such as...Sally lives across the
street and is a GREYHOUND…
but she is black! Shouldn’t a Greyhound be grey? Freddie
next door is a GERMAN SHEPHERD but he was born in
Australia so shouldn’t he be an Australian Shepherd?

Thinking….Jack is a BOXER —but he never, ever fights, in
fact he is really friendly. So why is he a boxer? Poor little
Trixie is a POODLE… why would you call a dog after poo?
How embarrassing! My mate Harry is a ROUGH COLLIE but
he is so very gentle, not rough at all! Are you confused too?
JUNIOR WANTS TO PLAY BALL!
THIS HAPPY, FUN BOY NEEDS A FAMILY…. One last thought, and this really, really worries me! Dad says
there is a new dog in the street. She is a SAUSAGE DOG.

RETRAINING REACTIVE



SHELTER DOGS By Nicolle Nelde Volunteer
















Johnny & Nicolle

“ Have you ever wondered what makes a reactive dog? I have, after I met Johnny. Reactive is the term for dogs
that overreact to certain stimuli, usually barking or lunging at other dogs, which can be very scary. I have been
volunteering in the shelter for a few years now, and I noticed certain dogs just seemed to be out of focus.”


Johnny was a reactive dog. I assumed he had been Johnny and I got to know each other, and I was learning
adopted but when I asked about him, I learned that he his triggers and what to do to minimise them, while
was in the back kennels, because he was so reactive gaining his trust. It’s a lot of trial and error, it takes time
he would be beside himself if exposed to another dog. and there are setbacks. Initially he was so unresponsive,

dogs that need more one on one time. once they do open up is indescribable.

JANUARY 2019 DOGGIERESCUE.COM MAGAZINE 27


Johnny has now been adopted (after having been
returned twice!) and that is the best motivation of
all. Working with him for a while enabled me to
give the new owners some insights into his
behaviour and I hope, with the work I started, he is
now on his way to being a happy content dog.

Currently I am working with Gideon ( pictured with
me) , who’s personality is very different from
Johnny’s. He is confident and curious, but doesn’t
seem to be aware of how to interact with other
dogs politely and how to interpret their body
language correctly. As a result, his approach is
often too much and not received well by the other
dog, which has gotten him in trouble in the past.

We are working with him by slowly introducing
other dogs in a controlled way, so that he can
associate positive experiences with meeting
other dogs and learn appropriate manners.
It also helps to expose him to the world outside the
shelter so he can experience that other dogs can
be friendly or even ignore him entirely. Since we
started with him, his behaviour has already
improved noticeably. Hopefully his forever home is
not far away and I can start helping the next dog.



• Reactive dogs are often misunderstood. They may not have
been socialised, possibly even kept in isolation for long periods of
time, now everything scares them, including other dogs. Their
fears and insecurities have manifested in their reactivity,
which has become their way of coping. Each dog has different
reasons and reacts in different ways, but when you spend one
on one time with them long enough, you find the triggers and can
help them with better ways of dealing with it.

The lack of exercise, mental stimulation and training in a shelter
environment, is not working in their favour either. And because,
when they are difficult to handle, they get even less of it.


In the shelter, we are doing our best to give reactive dogs a head
start to improve their chances of adoption, but in the end
a successful adoption of a reactive dog relies on the new owner to
continue that work. After all, those dogs are in this position
because their previous owners were not doing that Every dog can

Digby was so handsome. He had bat ears, extraordinarily long,
grey and warm, like a donkey’s. One up and one down. He loved
being stroked on his head, over his pterodactyl eye bumps. His
nose was long and elegant. His eyes were kohl rimmed, dark
and calm, and his gaze level. He had the softest coat, with
spots that showed when his fur was short. A former show judge
thought him mostly wire-haired terrier. “He’s a working dog”,
she said fondly, “I bet he likes chasing things”. Did he what!
He’d flog the light rail. He delighted in drones. He chased one
filming a wedding and Moo followed him and peed on the bride’s
dress. He’d see kite surfers from the van, and be off like a
streak, swimming out to encourage them if they crashed.

Digs was a team player and loved being part of a group. He’d
play both sides of a tennis match, racing between players,
barking commentary. Too small to pick up a football, he’d
dribble it back with his nose. He greeted everyone with a toy.
He sat on everyone’s knee, moving his lower jaw like he was
laughing. He’d resourcefully push his head under your hand
and shove it up and down for auto-pats.
