Every Dog Deserves a Forever Home

Every Dog Deserves a Forever Home

Last year there were an estimated 6.3 million pet dogs in Australia. 22 311 dogs were surrendered to RSPCA NSW alone.  Of these, 19 809 dogs were lucky to be rehomed and the remaining 2502 dogs were euthanized. The number of surrendered dogs per year in Australia is much higher as we have  many animal shelters throughout the country. An estimate of the  number of dogs and cats that were euthanized in 2021 was around 200 000. This is a shocking statistic that would break the heart of any animal lover.

Separation Anxiety Survival Guide

Separation Anxiety Survival Guide

Dogs are social animals, and they love companionship. Separation anxiety is the panic and anxiety that a dog experiences when they are left alone. Separation anxiety can be triggered by a number of circumstances. Sudden changes to your dog’s routine such as being left alone for increased periods, unpredictable periods or being left alone for the first time may leave your dog confused and unsure if you will come back.

How we avoided a puppy scam

How we avoided a puppy scam

My daughter and I recently had a touch of puppy jealousy. Two of our friends recently brought home an adorable cavoodle puppy, Molly and Scruffy. These puppies were $6000 and $4500 each. Like all puppies they are so cute. We wanted our own little bundle of joy. A google search instantly found a site that was offering 10-week-old cavoodles for $1500 each. With that price we thought we could have two puppies for less than the price of one!
