• from my desk 2016 End of financial year appeal

Dear Supporter,

A year of change and challenges — I’m pleased to be able to give you
an update on DoggieRescue and our work.

Monika with Feta at Ingleside Shelter In the last year, I’ve seen a change in the profile of dogs needing our
help. The good news is that fewer small dogs are ending up on death row
at the pounds since they are becoming more successful in their own
adoption programs. But as a result, DoggieRescue is now getting more
medium and large sized dogs which bring new challenges – such as the
need for higher and more secure fencing than our original facilities were
designed for. It has meant we are forever repairing fences while making
permanent improvements for as little cost as we can. And being strong,
some of our larger dogs, such as Mufasa (p24) and Penny (p22), need
two people rather than one to walk them safely from their indoor
overnight pen to their outdoor garden area.

The smaller dogs that are entering our doors now seem to be either the
more mature ones who tend to have more medical issues or younger
ones with behavioural problems. Both groups test our resources but
fortunately, we do have dog training expertise on board to help with
these problems and make the dogs more adoptable.

• As a result of these changing times, I have to share with you

that the last 12 months have been the hardest financially for
DoggieRescue since the GFC first hit back in 2007.

CLICK Your support is making a difference : Thanks to your support, Doggie
HERE Rescue has been able to respond to these changing times and with your
help we continue to save lives. Dogs needing treatment for medical
issues receive the best of care at The Cottage Animal Hospital. Whilst the
fees are heavily discounted which we are so grateful for, the fact remains
that veterinary costs are our largest financial outgoing after labour costs.

where he is being totally spoilt. dogs. We immediately started chemo treatment before he showed any
symptoms of being unwell. I knew it would be a costly exercise but I also
knew that if I did nothing he would be dead in six weeks. I knew I had to
act and I knew I would have your support. Giles is doing very well, having
finished his chemo treatment and the cancer is thankfully in remission.
The average life expectancy post treatment is 18 months to two years,
but many dogs who have had lymphoma live a lot longer than this and we
hope Giles will enjoy a long and happy life. Now in a foster home he has
some young children to play, with whom he loves. I never thought this
would happen when I began his treatment. It just shows there is someone
out there for every one of our rescued dogs. You just need to be patient.

TYSON

By Lucy Beaman, his Mum

If Tyson had just one fault it was that he was perhaps too accepting
and uncomplaining – he seemed taken aback to be chosen in the first
place (there’s younger and faster dogs Mama? Why would you want
me?) and confused at the attention lavished upon him. Wide eyed and
hesitant at his new spacious surrounds and garden he slowly and
wondrously explored as if to say, “this is all for ME? Really? Golly.”

With enough space and gentle reassurance, after a few weeks he
decided that being a cherished only fur child was a pretty good place to
be, adoring being the sole object of attention for once and loved for
nothing other than being himself. His loving and affectionate side
came out and whilst always sparing with licks you knew you had truly

by their scarcity.

ANIMAL WELFARE

AND THE 2016 Roland Briefrel is an educator and an animal
ELECTION welfare advocate who is not hesitant to speak about
topics for animals who have no voice. He is a long time
supporter of Doggie Rescue.

Most Australians really care about animals and with the 2016 Federal election to be held this year, it is
essential to make animal welfare an election priority. The Australian Government used to be a leader in
animal welfare. That was until 2013 when funding for the Australian Animal Welfare Strategy and animal
welfare science research was withdrawn, departmental and administrative structures removed, and
mechanisms to provide independent advice to the Government were dissolved. Yet the Australian
Government has a key role to play in leading and coordinating progress in the development of animal
welfare policy and standards, scientific research, and national educational initiatives.

Many animal welfare advocates insist that the Australian Further, they go on to say that recently, a meeting of

Ralph here!

I just wanted to give you an update on how
my new home is going. Firstly, I have a
new name! I am now known as Teddy, or
Ted for short, as my Mum says when she
picks me up I look like a little teddy bear
side on. Mum keeps telling me she's madly
in love with me, and I'm pretty fond of her
too, I've been following her around a lot
and I get excited when she comes home
from work. I always give her lots of kisses.
I am so thankful to you for rescuing me and
looking after me for so long until my Mum
came to adopt me. She tells me everyday
how much she loves me and how lucky
she is to have me in her life. I am feeling
very loved and special.

Lots of love, Teddy (aka Ralph).

Hi Everyone,

When Mum brought me home for
my ‘cat trial’ over two years ago
now she was so nervous that it
would not work. Well I proved her
sooooo wrong!!!! Do you know that
cats make the greatest cushions
( and so do dogs!), they keep you
warm when the weather is cold. So
all you cat lovers out there don’t be
scared to give a dog a try.

It’s been nice catching up but I
have to go now, my dinner is
ready.

Big licks from Lola ( was MIssy )

Dear Monika,

I have been to the groomers and am
sparkling white now. I have decided
that everything before my Elizabeth
Bay penthouse apartment was just a
bad dream. I had my first visit to a
nursing home last Sunday and was
perfect, I am quite a hit in the building
and already a popular local in the
surrounding parks. Mum also says
I am her ‘little treasure’ and my friend
Rosie loves me!

Also you will note I have
already mastered the most
winning look for my
close-ups!!!!!

BIG DOGS NEED HOMES TOO 2. Patting under the chin is where you’ll begin. After you have
received permission to pat a dog, you should pat the dog under its

Female Sponsor: Lisa Suters, with love... and what you are doing. Many dogs don’t like to be patted on the
top of the head. They might think you are trying to hurt or dominate
them.

3. A dog sniffs your hand in order to understand. A dog’s sense
of smell is much greater than our own. Dogs use this sense of
smell when getting to know newcomers. If a dog smells you to get
to know you, let him sniff the back of your hand. This keeps your
fingers out of the way and doesn’t threaten the dog.

4. If a dog has a bone you must leave him alone. If a dog is
eating or is chewing on a bone or other item, he/she might think
you are going to take it away, which could cause the dog to
protect what it has by growling, snapping or biting.

5. Respecting their space can save your face. It is common
sense to keep a respectable distance between a child's face and
the teeth of a dog or a cat, even if it is the family pet.

6. If you run and shout, it can freak a dog out. The way you
behave can influence the way a dog behaves. If you scream,
shout, run or swing your arms or feet around dogs, they are more
likely to chase or attack you.

7. Whether you’re a girl or a boy, never tease or annoy. If you
are teasing or annoying a dog or a cat, they can’t tell you in words
that they want you to stop; but they can tell you to stop by
growling, biting or scratching.

8. Quiet and slow is the only way to go. If you are scared of a
dog, do not run or scream. It is safer to walk away slowly and
quietly. Calmly walk away, try not to stare into the dog’s eyes.

Stay cool!!! C/u…. The Chip Boy

What is a DOG trying to tell you?

Since dogs can’t speak the way people talk to each other, they try to share their feelings using their bodies and
voices. Below are some pictures of dogs. Look at their bodies. Can you tell how each one is feeling? When
approaching a doggie look at them before you touch and make sure that they are HAPPY to be patted or cuddled!

Max imprinted on my son Blake. I have never seen a dog love

someone immediately, like Max did with Blake….” Robyn

Hello Readers,

It was the Australia Day long weekend, we had asked to
meet two dogs at Monika’s DoggieRescue. My husband,
16 year old son Blake, our very bossy 13 year old dog
Jessie and myself.

With Jessie being a dominant dog it was important that
any new dog got along. Riley was introduced to Jessie. I
think she fell immediately in love and we had found a
match for our family in Riley ( now called Max ).

Max is coming out of his shell a little bit more everyday
and we are so glad that we adopted him. He and Jessie
love their long bush walks and both adore the beach. He's
a funny boy everyday he makes me laugh. We just love
him and I know he's happy. I wanted to thank Monika and
everyone at DoggieRescue for taking such good care of
Max for 4 of his 6 years.

bronchitis, pharyngitis…lotsof 'itises.
I am so much healthier.

Getting your dog used to being
handled is both a practicality
and a necessity of ownership.
It makes grooming and a visit to
the vet easier, and it also offers
you and your dog huge benefits.

Dr Deirdre (Dee) Clack COMPILED BY DEIRDRE CLACK
BVSc (hons).

The Cottage Animal Hospital
Ph: 9890 7220

Throughout your dog’s life there are many situations in which he will be touched or handled by people he is not
familiar with. Your vet will have to be able to examine and check him ( eg. teeth, feet, eyes, ears ) at least once a
year, and be able to administer treatment and it is important that if possible you teach him how to behave from the
start, rather than allowing problems to develop which can cause much stress for both you and your dog.

VISITS TO THE VET

Understandably a visit to the vets can be an
overwhelming experience for your dog, as things
that happen at the vet can be unpleasant and
build up a negative association for return visits.

Your dog will encounter an unfamiliar
environment, and unfamiliar dogs and people, as
well as being examined and having his injections.
However if you prepare your dog for these sorts
of experiences then you are much less likely to
come up against handling problems later on.
