With temperatures expected to reach over 40° today, it's best to walk your dogs in the cool of the morning before things heat up or in the evening when things cool down 🌞

If you’re not sure whether it’s still too hot to head out, just follow the 5-second rule. Simply place the back of your hand on a surface for five seconds. If you can’t handle the heat, your dog can’t either 🖐️

Dogs cool themselves through their paws and by panting and simply can’t do this if the ground and air are too hot! 🥵

If you think your pet has overheated or is suffering from heat-related issues, call an RSPCA veterinary hospital or your local veterinarian immediately.

Recently Marston passed his 200th day in care and has sadly received very little interest since being returned from what he thought was going to be his forever home 💔

Most of the time this sweet, affectionate boy can be seen keenly watching those passing by, often pressing his paws up against the glass in the hopes of being noticed. The same paws sometimes even reaching out from under his door in the hopes of catching the attention of anyone willing to give him a second chance 🐱

As a kitty who does like a little extra space, Marston has been lucky enough to stay in one of our Lazy Cat condos while he waits for his forever home. Here, he’s got the space he enjoys as well as many other toys, and hidey holes to keep him happy. He’s especially fond of his hammock 😌

Everyone here absolutely adores him and we know if you take the time to meet him, you’ll fall in love too. Marston deserves the world, and we know there is someone out there who can give it to him ❤️

Our shelter is running very low on medium-large and XL harnesses and collars for our pups. 🐶 If you have a harness or collar you can donate for a dog over 20kg (especially 35kg+), our large doggies would really appreciate it. 💙

We don't think Odin here can squeeze into the extra-small size... 😂

Donations can be dropped off at our shelter located at 1605 Elizabeth Drive, Kemps Creek NSW, 2178. 🏡 We're open seven days a week between 10am & 3:30pm. Please remember, adoptions and surrenders are by appointment only. 📆

You can see more of our model, Odin, at:

We are super proud of our awesome vet nurse Jenna (JJ) who was featured in the June 2022 edition of the Australian Veterinary Nurses Journal. JJ is not only an amazing vet nurse, but also a bright, bubbly, funny and enthusiastic star in the Vet HQ team.

Way to go JJ ! ✨
