Rescue Animals

Hi again

I thought I would feature some of our wonderful animals - our doggies and cats.

I am constantly amazed how society is obsessed with a "throw away" mentality and unfortunately this also how some treat their animals. I will only have rescue animals ie animals that someone else doesn't want (for what ever reason). It is a very sad fact that many beautiful animals are needlessly put down because the novelty wore off, people didn't want to spend the $$ or someone just didn't care. PLEASE PLEASE GET YOUR ANIMALS DESEXED!!!!


Introducing..............

Poppy (L) and Donut





These 2 cuties were probably pet shop puppies whose owners tossed them in the pound when they stopped being "cute puppies". They were about 9-12 months old when we got them.

Donut is very nervous around people she doesn't know and it took Poppy about 6 months to realise she had a home (and to STOP trying to escape the yard). All is good now though.

We got Poppy from Cordy's Rescue - http://www.cordysrescue.com.au/ and Donut from Doggie Rescue - http://www.doggierescue.com.au/

They are both lovely doggies and we LOVE them.

AND

Introducing.......

Victor (L), Honey (middle) & Cody

Victor is from the AWL & I got him as a kitten to be friends with Squishy (see my first post to see Squish and her story). Then Alex brought home Honey as a flea ridden kitten from some person she knew whose cat had kittens (grrrrrrr people who don't desex their pets grrrrrrr) and then we got Cody from my sisters vets. He is a pure bred Cornish Rex cat - chocolate in colour (and prob cost about $600!!!) and is previous owner "didn't want him anymore". Go figure....

So even "pure breed" animals are disposable (Squishy and Cody) - it is really sad.

So if you are considering a new animal for your family, please consider a rescue animal too. See my links for some sites. I so wish I could save more but we have 4 cats and 2 doggies and 2 chooks - Greg has put his foot down!! LOL

Oh, I also have rescue hen's from the battery farm (sadly I had 5 but only 1 left now). I will feature my chookies in another post - I have 1 ex-battery and 1 silky bantam now :-)
