URGENT!!! URGENT!!!

We love to spoil our dogs, and we have run completely out of "Dog Treats", so if your considering donating food, please throw a packet of "Smackos" in the trolley too..... the dogs love them and we think they deserve it. Bribery works wonders when it come to bath time........

BREAKING NEWS

We are seeking expressions of interest in New Sponsorship Opportunities, go to our Pen sponsorship to see what we have available.

DONATIONS NEEDED

We are currently running extremely low in our canned puppy and wet kitten food (chicken variety's) stocks. MY DOG canned food is also needed for our aging dogs. Any donations of doggie or cat treats and toys are also gratefully accepted. If you can help, you will find our food bins in most supermarkets around the coast. Thank you to everyone who donated rice and pasta, we now have plenty. We have also been inundated with blankets, so much so that we have filled our shed to the roof, so please consider donating them to an alternative charity, until we deplete our stocks. Many thanks for your support.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE / BUSINESS' FOR MAKING OUR OPEN DAY SUCH A SUCCESS. WITHOUT THEM, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HOLD AN EVENT SUCH AS THIS. WE RAISED JUST UNDER $20,000 WHICH WILL BE USED TO BUILD A NEW VETERINARY HOSPITAL FOR THE REFUGE.

ANIMAL ADMISSIONS

We accept Cats, Dogs, Kittens and Puppies from many sources, including surrenders.
As the refuge maintains a strict non-euthanasia policy, there may not be enough room in the refuge for new admissions. Surrenders are made only by appointment, and when space is available. We reserve the right to reject any animal without explanation. A fee is payable upon surrender to assist in caring for the animal.

LOST DOGS & CATS - NEW INFORMATION

If you have lost your dog or cat, visit the Maroochy Council website at www.maroochy.qld.gov.au. They now have photos of all animals inpounded, check with them regularly. If you have found a pet check our lost pets page to see if you have found a lost pet. We can also post a picture and information as to where you lost your pet.

ADOPT-A-PET

We have dogs and cats arriving each week, for the vets to desex, heartguard, micro chip, worm and vaccinate. They then are given a flea bath and capstar, before they are to be rehomed.

The Refuge has a strict NON-EUTHANASIA POLICY.

Pets will give a lifetime of love and affection in return for a good home, food and lots of tender loving care.
We would love to have caring people welcome one of our four-legged friends into their family. If you're thinking about welcoming a loving dog or cat into your family, please consider our four legged friends requirements.

Shire councils have different regulations regarding animal ownership, A permit may be required to keep more than 2 dogs on residential premises.

Please Note: If you are renting a dwelling, confirmation in writing from your landlord about animal ownership at that dwelling is required.
