🌟 Good News: Genevieve's (Now Luna's) Happily Ever After! 🌟

We are beyond excited to share the heartwarming story of Genevieve—now lovingly named Luna (or Luni)—and her incredible new life with Jess and her family. Luna is thriving in her forever home, surrounded by the love of her humans and her furry siblings, Java 🐶, Indi 🐶, and Jupiter 🐱.

Jess shared this beautiful update with us:
*"I can’t tell you how much love she has brought into our home and to our little family. The first few days navigating the big, wide world involved a bit of hiding, but I would sit with her until she came out for cuddles. After just a couple of days, she was little miss brave, adventuring around the house and checking out everything and everyone! 🥰

Since then, she’s been nothing but a big ball of love. She adores belly rubs, loves laying on her back in my arms for little power naps, and has started making friends with our other cat, Jupiter. She runs around the house like a crazy kitty with her toys and balls, bringing endless laughter to our home.

This is the second animal we’ve adopted from Sweet Pea, and we can’t imagine life without either of them. Thank you for giving us the chance to love and care for these beautiful souls. We promise to give them the best lives we possibly can!”*

The first animal Jess adopted from Sweet Pea was Indi (previously, Tasman), a sweet and gentle dog who shares a love for belly rubs just like Luna! Indi has blossomed in their home, bringing her own kind of joy to the family with her lovable, goofy nature.

Genevieve’s story began in February when she was heart-breakingly abandoned at our gates in a cage alongside her mum and sister. A note left with them read, “They are not my problem.” It’s a sad reality for many animals, but thanks to the love and care of our team, Genevieve has found the life she truly deserves.

At Sweet Pea, Genevieve quickly became a volunteer favourite. Her sweet purrs, chatty nature, and playful energy melted everyone’s hearts. Whether scaling the highest bookshelf or curling up in someone’s lap for cheek scratches, she proved to be a perfect mix of adventurous and affectionate.

Now, in her forever home, Luna is living a life filled with belly rubs, playtime, and so much love—just like her furry sibling, Indi.

Thank you, Jess, for giving Luna and Indi the love and care they deserve, and for choosing adoption not once, but twice! 💕

If you’re inspired by Luna and Indi’s story and are thinking of adopting, there’s a special furry friend waiting for you. Check out our adoption page and help us create more happy endings like this one.

🐾 Big News for Pet Owners Renting in NSW! 🏡❤️

Great news for renters in New South Wales who dream of sharing their home with a furry, feathered, or scaly friend! The new rental laws are making it easier for tenants to welcome pets while balancing fairness for landlords. Here’s what’s changing:

💌 Landlords Must Have a Valid Reason to Say No

Landlords can only decline pet requests if there’s a valid reason, such as:

The property isn’t suitable for the type of animal.

The pet is likely to cause damage beyond what the bond covers.

The pet breaks local council laws.

If there’s disagreement, landlords can apply to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) for help.

⏳ 21 Days to Respond

Landlords now have a time limit—they must respond to pet requests within 21 days. If they don’t, your pet is automatically approved! 🐶✨

🦮 Assistance Animals Are Always Welcome

Landlords cannot refuse registered assistance animals. If someone does, tenants can take action through Anti-Discrimination NSW or the Australian Human Rights Commission.

🚫 No Extra Pet Bonds

Good news for your wallet! Additional bond money for pets is not allowed in NSW.

---

Why This Matters

Pets bring unconditional love, joy, and companionship to our lives. These new laws mean more people can experience that magic, without unnecessary barriers. For many renters, it’s a step toward creating a true home—a place where both humans and their beloved pets can thrive. 🐕🐾🐾

Let’s celebrate this win for pet-loving renters across NSW! If you’re as excited as we are, share your thoughts (and pet photos!) in the comments below.

📢 Spread the word! Together, we can make sure everyone knows their rights and responsibilities. ❤️

🩷 Life is Better with Ace Around 🩷

Some stories touch your heart and fill it with warmth—Ace’s journey is one of those tales. Once part of the “Futurama Puppies,” Ace was one of eight tiny siblings abandoned at Taree Pound. Thankfully, Sweet Pea Animal Rescue stepped in to give these precious pups the second chance they deserved.

Ace’s happily-ever-after began when Tracy and Evan welcomed him into their family, alongside their three energetic sons: Isaac, Eli, and Leon. Now living near the picturesque Redhead Dog Beach in Newcastle, Ace has traded uncertainty for a life bursting with love, joy, and adventure.

Tracy and Evan often share updates with us, and each one paints a picture of a life well-lived. Whether bounding along the sand, giggling with the boys, or soaking up endless cuddles, Ace is the heart of the family’s activities. He’s not just a pet—he’s Isaac’s teammate, Eli’s confidant, and Leon’s snuggle buddy.

“Ace is the missing piece we didn’t know we needed,” Tracy shared. His boundless energy and sweet, gentle nature have made him the perfect fit for their busy, loving household. From beach walks to backyard games and cozy family evenings, Ace is always at the heart of their happiest moments.

Ace’s transformation from abandoned pup to beloved companion is a testament to the incredible power of rescue. Stories like his remind us why Sweet Pea Animal Rescue exists—to change lives, one wagging tail at a time. 🐕🐾

🌟 Meet Nerida: Your Sweet and Gentle Best Friend! 🌟

Are you ready to welcome a truly special companion into your life? Say hello to Nerida, a 1.5-year-old Catahoula x Staffy (our best guess) who’s as loving as she is beautiful. She is the perfect size for cuddles, and trust us—she’ll be leaning on you for plenty of those!

🐾 A Little About Nerida:
💖 Gentle, affectionate, and incredibly friendly—her heart is as big as her playful spirit.
🎓 Smart and well-mannered, she knows basic commands like sit, drop, and shake.
🎾 Loves chasing a ball and bringing it back, with an adorable skip in her step that’ll melt your heart.
🚶‍♀️ Walks beautifully on a leash, keeps her kennel clean, and is eager to please.
🐕 Adjusted wonderfully to shelter life but dreams of a forever home filled with love and fun.

Nerida has a sweet nature that shines through in everything she does. Whether she’s spinning in excitement, trying to sit in your lap for extra cuddles, or soaking up all the pats she can get, this playful girl is guaranteed to brighten your days.

⚠️ Important Note: Nerida is wary of other doggies at first, but as soon as she sees they are not a threat, she is playful and submissive, using all the correct doggy language to show she wants to play. She walks well with her kennel mates at Sweet Pea. As with all our adoptions, she’ll need to meet any potential dog companions first to ensure a good match, or she’d thrive in a home where she’s the only dog.

✨ Why Choose Nerida?
Nerida is a true gem—a dog who’s equal parts playful, loving, and well-behaved. She adores human company and will make a loyal, fun-loving addition to any family. If you’re looking for a furry best friend who’ll shower you with affection and be your partner in play, Nerida is your girl.

🌟 Meet Bella: The Playful and Smoochy Queen! 🌟

Are you ready for a furry companion who’ll fill your days with love, laughter, and plenty of smooches? Meet Bella, a young and spirited girl who’s ready to start her happily ever after with a family as amazing as she is!

🐾 Bella’s Personality
Bella is a bundle of joy with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. Whether she’s chasing toys, wrestling with her bestie Roxy, or following you around as your loyal little helper, Bella’s zest for life is truly infectious. Her smooching skills? Second to none! She’ll never hesitate to shower you with affection and purrs, proving time and again what an incredible companion she is.

This sweet girl didn’t get the chance to enjoy being a kitten, as she became a mum at just six months old. But Bella embraced motherhood with grace and gave her kittens the best start in life. Now, with her kittens adopted, Bella is finally free to rediscover her playful side and embrace the carefree life she deserves.

🏡 Bella’s Ideal Forever Home
Bella dreams of a safe, loving home where she’ll be cherished and cuddled to her heart’s content. She thrives in the company of humans and other cats, making her a perfect match for families with existing feline friends. As with all our rescue cats, Bella needs an indoor-only home to keep her safe and happy.

If you’re looking for a companion who’s as playful as she is affectionate, Bella will be your perfect match. She’s ready to share her smooches, her heart, and her playful spirit with a family who will love her unconditionally.

💔 Bella’s Story
Bella’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was found abandoned in the bush alongside her friend Roxy, both left to fend for themselves with nothing but a cardboard box of biscuits nearby. Thankfully, our dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to rescue them, and Bella and Roxy found safety at Sweet Pea Animal Rescue. Despite her rough start, Bella has remained as sweet and loving as ever, ready to trust and bring joy to her future family.

✨ Why Choose Bella?
Adorable, playful, and endlessly loving, Bella will bring so much joy to the lucky family who adopts her. She’s a devoted companion who’s ready to give and receive all the love in the world.

💝Hoping for a Christmas Miracle: Meet Beckie! 💝

Beckie is dreaming of a loving forever home this holiday season. Could you be her Christmas miracle?

This 3-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix is a sweetheart through and through. With her soulful eyes and heart-melting smile, Beckie craves affection more than anything. Every day, she presses her head against her enclosure, hoping for a kind hand to pat her and a heart to call her own. 🐾💕

Why Beckie is special:

Beckie is the ultimate human companion. She’d much rather spend her time snuggling up to people than playing with other dogs.

She’s got her foot-warmer skills perfected and her "thigh lean" game on point—just try resisting her charm!

Playtime with her humans is a joy, but she’s also a pro at relaxing and simply being by your side.

Beckie’s happy wiggle and adorable stumpy tail will bring endless smiles to your day.

The perfect home for Beckie:
Beckie will thrive in a quiet, loving home with plenty of affection and companionship. A secure yard where she can chase balls and stretch her legs is a must, as well as daily walks to keep her happy and healthy. While she’s happy to hang out with other dogs, her heart is set on human connection.

Beckie's story: 💔
Beckie’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. Rescued from a central west NSW pound, she narrowly escaped death row thanks to the incredible team at ROAR (Rural Outback Animal Respite). Likely a mother to multiple litters, Beckie has left her past behind and is ready to embrace a bright future with a loving family.

Heart-breakingly, Beckie has now been in a shelter environment for one year. Despite her resilient, happy nature, a shelter can never replace the warmth of a real home. She’s been patiently waiting for a family to give her the love she deserves.

Why adopt Beckie?
This clever girl has mastered the basics—sit, drop, stay, heel, and leave. She’s smart, affectionate, and full of life, ready to thrive in a home where she’s both mentally and physically stimulated.

Beckie is waiting for her chance to be someone’s Christmas miracle. Could that someone be you?😇

❤️🏡 Interested in adopting?
Could Beckie be the one to complete your family? This sweet girl has a heart full of love and is patiently waiting for her second chance. 🐾

Thank you to everyone who cared and shared. Special thanks for all the transport offers. And a very special thank you to our very own Chris Burt who just happens to be returning from Sydney in the morning!

🐾 Roxy’s Personality
Roxy is a delightful mix of playful energy and gentle affection. Whether she's chasing a toy mouse, exploring every corner of her home, or lounging in a cozy sunbeam, Roxy’s zest for life is simply infectious. She’s a confident and charismatic kitty who will proudly remind you when it’s time for dinner—or when she’s ready for her favorite chin scratches!

Once the adventures are done, Roxy’s favorite place to be is right by your side, purring softly and offering cuddles that will melt your heart.

🏡 Her Dream Home
Roxy is looking for a forever family to share her love with—a home where she can feel safe and adored. She would thrive in a warm, indoor environment filled with cozy spots and sunny windows. Roxy gets along well with other cats and, with the right introductions, could even adjust to life with a dog.

💔 Her Story
Roxy’s journey has been one of courage and resilience. She and her sister Bella were abandoned in the bush, pregnant and in desperate need of care. Thankfully, they were rescued just in time. Despite her tough start, Roxy’s loving spirit shone through as she nurtured her kittens, who have all found wonderful homes. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s special girl and know the joy of being cherished.

💌 Why Roxy?
Roxy is more than just a pretty face—she’s a true companion with so much love to give. Her sweet nature, playful antics, and affectionate snuggles are sure to bring endless joy to the lucky family who welcomes her home. Could that be you?

💜 Tippie’s New Chapter: 3 Months of Love and Joy 💜

It’s hard to believe it’s already been three months since Tippie — formerly known as Pippin, our spirited little pocket rocket — found her forever home! 🏡🐾 After being found alone near Green Point in January, Tippie spent months spreading joy, playing, zooming, and cuddling her way into everyone’s hearts.

Tippie's life changed forever when she met Kevin, Amanda, and their Bull Terrier X, Pepper, at one of our Bunnings events in August. Kevin and Amanda had been thinking about adding a new furry family member to their rural property in Nabiac, and when they met Tippie, it was love at first sight. 💕

Soon after, they brought Pepper along for a meet-and-greet. We were all a little nervous about how Tippie, with her history of reactivity, might respond. But she surprised us all! She instantly accepted Pepper as the boss, and the two hit it off like lifelong friends. 🐶🐶

Fast forward three months, and Tippie is thriving in her new home. She’s living her best life on a beautiful property, exploring the outdoors, and sharing endless adventures with her big sister, Pepper. Amanda tells us that Tippie has settled in wonderfully and brings so much joy to their family every day. 🥰

We owe a huge thank you to John and June, Tippie’s foster carers, who played such a big role in preparing her for this new chapter. With their love and patience, Tippie blossomed into the calmer, happier dog her family fell in love with. 💜

We couldn’t be happier for Tippie and her new family. Thank you, Kevin and Amanda, for opening your hearts and home to this special girl. Tippie, we’ll always love you and are so proud of the amazing life you’ve found. Enjoy every moment, sweet girl! 🐾💜

🐾💙 Meet Archie – The Affectionate Adventurer 💙🐾

Archie, formerly known as Timon, is a gorgeous 13-month-old mixed-breed boy who’s still searching for his happily ever after. This playful, cuddly bundle of joy has an enormous heart and a zest for life that’s infectious.

Archie’s journey has been one of growth and discovery. He was found as a stray in Forster back in February, taken to the pound, and never claimed. Since then, he’s blossomed under our care at Sweet Pea Animal Rescue, growing from a bouncy puppy into a confident and loving young dog.

In August, Archie thought he’d found his forever family when a lovely couple welcomed him into their home with their two male dogs. While Archie got along famously with his new furry friends at first, the household dynamics proved a little too intense for him. With too much testosterone in the mix, Archie decided he wasn’t quite ready for that specific setup, and he’s now back with us, patiently waiting for his perfect match.

💖 Archie’s Personality
Archie is an affectionate and adaptable dog with a playful spirit. Whether it’s chasing balls, splashing in the doggy pool, or engaging in a game of tug-of-war, Archie loves staying active. He adores other dogs and thrives on having a playmate but is also confident enough to enjoy some solo time exploring the yard.

When the playtime winds down, Archie’s cuddly side shines through. He’ll always check in for reassurance or a snuggle, proving that his heart is as big as his love for life. Archie’s favorite outings include attending local soccer games with our volunteers, where he happily meets new people and charms everyone he encounters.

🏡 Archie’s Ideal Forever Home
Archie would thrive in a home with another canine companion for him to play with, or with an attentive family that will shower him with love and patience. A secure yard with plenty of room for zoomies and a family who enjoys outdoor adventures would make him the happiest boy. Archie does best with a little company while he settles in, so a household where someone is around for part of the day would be ideal.

Could Archie be the one to complete your family? This sweet boy has so much love to give and is patiently waiting for his second chance.

🌟 Cherry’s Bright New Beginning! 🌟

Cherry, once known as Amy Wong, is one of the eight Futurama puppies who faced a tough start after being abandoned at a young age in Taree Pound. But today, her story is one of love, hope, and happiness!

Adopted by Kelly and her son Jarrod, Cherry is blossoming into the sweetest, most well-behaved pup. She’s been soaking up every moment in her new home, where she’s surrounded by love and care. Despite her puppy energy, Cherry has proven to be gentle and calm—even when a brave family of ducks decided to move in nearby! With seven ducklings under Mother Duck’s watchful eye, Cherry respects their space, proving what a good girl she is.

Her new yard has become her playground, and exciting improvements are underway, including a nearly finished deck and a brand-new gate. Cherry’s future is looking brighter than ever, with puppy school on the horizon to help her grow into the best version of herself.

From her uncertain beginnings to the cherished life she now has, Cherry’s journey is a powerful reminder of the magic of rescue and adoption. She’s not just surviving—she’s thriving, bringing joy to her family and her happy ending is only the beginning! 💕

💙 Yesterday we took our special big boy Buddy for a session with Jason Harris Dog Training at Port Macquarie. 💙

Jason was amazing with Buddy - kind and understanding. He was generous with his time and knowledge, and shared some valuable advice and tips that will help us ensure Buddy’s future is bright and positive.

Big doggies are often unfairly judged. Behaviours that are seen as normal and acceptable in smaller breeds, can be seen in a very different light when displayed by larger doggies.

We are extremely grateful to Jason for sharing his time and expertise with us. What a legend! 🤩

😋💙 TIMON - YUMMY ENRICHMENT 💙😋 This morning the gutters in our shed were being cleaned out. Timon was a bit anxious having someone stomping around on the roof of his enclosure, so we made up a quick peanut 🥜 butter 🧈 frisbee 🥏 for him and he was happy as Larry! 😁 Timon has been in our care since he was just a little puppy. As you can see, he is a big puppy now! But still only a puppy 🥺. He is such a sweet boy, always happy, never any trouble, gets along with all the other doggies and has recently been enjoying some outings to soccer games and social walks ☺️. He is an absolute delight! We all love him to bits! ❤️ #whynotadopt #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescue #adoptdontshop #rescueanimals #sweetpeaanimalrescue #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedog #takemehome

☔️🌧 Spare a thought for our precious rescues on this rainy Saturday 🌧☔️ All of these beautiful animals don't yet have a warm, cosy home to curl up in on days like this. That doesn't stop the doggies having the best time running through puddles though! 🩵💜 #sweetpeaanimalrescue #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuecat #rescuedog #whynotadopt
