Hitting the streets to set tails shaking
Dog lovers are urged to hit the streets and shake their tins on Friday, 15 October in one of the Dogs’ Refuge Home’s biggest annual fundraisers. Numbers for tin shakers are down on previous years so far and we are keen to top last year’s effort of $12,000.
My-O-Mya....she's a little spoilt
We adopted Mya over a year ago now, and she has definitely changed our lives! She can be pretty rambunctious and stubborn at times (like all Huskies) but she is also the most loving and friendly dog we've ever met.
Bear has his moment in the sun
We adopted Bear just over a month ago and we thought we would send in an update about how he is going.
Vollies raise $2,000 in jog for the dogs
They might not have four legs themselves, but a team of 16 volunteers at the Refuge sure set tails wagging in the recent City to Surf. They took up the challenge to Jog for the Dogs in a bid to help raise much needed funds for the Refuge.
Cuddly Spud wants to be your lap dog
Meet one of our resident studs, Spud. He's been at the Refuge around 6 months now and we seriously can't work out why he hasn't found a home yet. He is such a cuddly and friendly boy who will make a very loyal companion for someone who will commit to his training.
Stop Press! Commemorative Book now available
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Dogs' Refuge Home we decided to celebrate some of the many success stories that have been shared with us. We were absolutely inundated with contributions to the book and we had a hard time selecting which stories to publish.
Toby's growing by the day
My name is Hollie and we just bought a little kelpie cross puppy about a month ago. He was named Sebastion. but we changed his name to Toby which suits him much better!
Pumpkin's first week
I thought I would send you an update on my new life. My new owners, Alex and Emma, picked me up last Saturday. They are really lovely people and I am settling in nicely. I have also changed my name to Bear (much more me!) and am quickly learning to respond to it.
Sulzer has a face only a mother could love
Watch out, it’s a werewolf!… That dog is soo ugly!…It’s SO skinny… What is it?... looks like it needs a good feed. That’s the usual lines you over hear about our beautiful Refuge dog… it’s hard not to react like a mother when you hear it… only sometimes do you get ‘oh… she’s so beautiful.’
