LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT ROSIE!
Our beautiful Rosie, the Border Collie cross, is still waiting for someone to realise just how special she is.

Honestly, we cannot fault this girl! Yes you can debate her breeds but really it is her personality that just shines. She is the all-round, wonderful family dog — and we are completely puzzled as to why she hasn’t been snapped up yet! Rosie absolutely LOVES playing ball, which would make her a fantastic companion for an active family or a child who would love a four-legged best friend to play with. She has been fostered with children. She has great recall, knows some really good commands and is a lovely, clever girl who is eager to please.

Rosie really is the complete package — loving, fun, clever and ready to be someone's best friend. She has been socialised at doggy daycare and just loved it. Could Rosie be the missing piece in your family?

If you would like to meet this gorgeous girl, please fill in an adoption application form on our webpage and then send us a PM. Let's not let Rosie get overlooked any longer. She deserves her forever home.

Chance the bayfair cat is doing fine
Chance was at Coastal pet vets this morning for a desex and check over. He is starting to realise he is a social cat who just lost his way. What a brave boy he was!

MEET MILLIE – LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME 🐾
Sometimes the dogs who have had the hardest start in life become the ones who appreciate every little bit of love they receive.

Meet Millie, a gorgeous mixed-breed girl who came to us from the streets. When she was found, she was frightened, hungry and clearly had not been well cared for. No one came forward when she was advertised, and of course she was not registered or micro chipped. We stepped in before the pound were called as it was a long weekend and no place for this dog.
But look at her now…

Millie has been incredibly lucky to spend time in an amazing rural foster home, where she has discovered what it means to feel safe, loved and part of a family.

She has a lovely, calm doggy friend who she enjoys spending time with, and she absolutely adores her special human. In true spoiled-dog fashion, she sleeps on the bed and loves being close to her people. She even gets to go to work with her fosterer, riding on the back of the truck — she is happiest when she can be included in life rather than left behind.

Her fosterer would love to keep her, but his work commitments make managing two dogs difficult, so he is now hoping we can find Millie the family she deserves.
Millie has had some experience as a hunting dog, but she is not looking for a life living outside or in a kennel. She needs to be part of the family — a warm bed, companionship, adventures and people who want her by their side.

She loves to play, but she also loves simply hanging out with her special people. We think her ideal home would be with someone who enjoys getting out and about and wants a dog who can come along for the ride — walks, adventures, trips and everyday family life. Could you be the one to show Millie that she never has to wonder where she belongs again?

If you can offer Millie another foster home or forever home, please make contact.
Millie has already come so far. She has gone from a scared, hungry girl on the streets to a happy dog who knows what love feels like.
Please contact us if you think Millie could be the missing piece in your family.

Obi and delta ❤️

Here is a update for you all.
A few months ago now we were called to help with the rescue of two dogs their beloved older owner had been taken away in an ambulance and no one had access to check them. All family lived out of town or out of country. We managed to make entry to the house and sort these wee babies out. Checking on them while their owner was in hospital. Unfortunately their owner passed away and the family asked us to find them a new spot.
Obi a 14 year old Japanese spits
And Delta a 4 year old Pomeranian.

We took our time gaining their trust as the family worked tirelessly to empty the house to get it ready for sale.

We found the most incredible experienced new adoptive home for these babies and omg have they come to life!

Their days are spent going for walks and trips to the local Bunnings to be trolly king and queens.

Chance – A Second Chance at a Safe Life
For the past few months, a little cat has been hanging around the transmitters at the Bayfair carpark. For now, we’ve given him the nickname Chance — because we’re hoping that’s exactly what he’s been given: a chance at a better life.

There have been comments and posts hoping that an owner might come forward, but despite the attention, no one has claimed him. Trapping Chance was never going to be easy. The Bayfair carpark is a noisy, busy place, and every sound and movement seemed to send him further into hiding, but last night, perseverance paid off.

Our wonderful Debbie Martin spent time coaxing Chance towards a trap near his hiding place — and finally, he was safely caught. Chance is now tucked up in a large dog crate, where he can relax and begin to feel safe. He will be getting a vet check and be desexed over the next day or two, so we can find out exactly what he needs.

The lovely thing is that Chance is already starting to show little signs that he remembers humans can be kind. He is beginning to trust us and is even enjoying a little gentle touch.

A huge thank you to Debbie, who simply couldn't bear the thought of Chance spending another night outside, cold and hungry. It was all about patience, perseverance and one person deciding that an animal deserves a chance. This little guy certainly does.
Welcome to safety and our rescue, Chance. Your new chapter starts here.
