‼️UPDATE‼️

We have now been informed by the primary microchip company that they are not able to do this as they first advised us in an email last week.

At this time all of your digital data you provided will be held by SPARQ securely until we have an outcome.

Unfortunately everyone has to wait for the outcome of the sale of the company 😞 including rescue groups.

You may have heard that Home Safe microchips have vanished.
They have gone into receivership.

At this time - there is no way to retrieve details therefore if your animal is registered and they are lost or stolen, there is no one to help you.
(Logins for shelters, vets and councils have been disabled)

The phone number is disconnected and emails are bouncing back as undelivered.

We are taking a necessary step to help anyone with pets registered to them to assist you to obtain registration with an alternative company.

This will ensure that your pet is safe and the microchip will be searchable to vets and councils.

The following form is a very quick one to help you.

We may need to make changes on the fly but we encourage you to check your pet’s microchip urgently.

Please donate if you can and help save this little one who deserves a chance at a good, happy and healthy life 🤍

This holiday season, we need your help to give a little puppy named Matzo Ball the chance at life he so desperately deserves. 🐾

Matzo Ball’s journey began tragically at just 2 weeks old. He was being sold by teenagers outside a shopping center when a kind-hearted Samaritan stepped in and rushed him to the vet. What they found was heartbreaking—his tiny body was covered in painful, oozing sores, his eyes barely open, weak, and struggling to breathe. It’s clear he’s already been through more than any puppy should.

Right now, Matzo Ball is fighting for his life at SASH (Small Animal Specialist Hospital), receiving 24/7 care to stabilize his condition. We don’t know exactly what’s wrong yet, but he’s battling a serious infection and needs urgent care. The road ahead is long, and every test, treatment, and round-the-clock care will be critical in giving him a chance.

You may wonder why we’re pouring so much into saving this one tiny pup. The answer is simple—Matzo Ball hasn’t given up, and neither will we. If he’s willing to fight, we’ll be right there beside him.

But we can’t do it alone. This year, our vet bills have reached new heights as we’ve continued saying “yes” to animals like Matzo Ball—those who have no one else to turn to. That’s why we’re asking for your help. Your donation this Christmas could be the reason we can save Matzo Ball—and other animals just like him. It could be the reason we can continue to say “yes” to those who need us most.

Every dollar counts and will go directly toward Matzo Ball’s care and the care of others who need a second chance. Let’s show Matzo Ball that he’s not alone—that his short life can be filled with love and kindness.

Together, we can make this miracle happen. Please donate now and help us save Matzo Ball. 🙏

URGENTLY NEEDED, PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

🚨🚨URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED🚨🚨

We need a foster home for daisy by tomorrow.

We’ve been looking, but no success.

Daisy is a very special dog of ours. She’s been with us since she was 14 weeks old.
She has a condition called bilateral ectopic ureter which basically means she has trouble holding her urine in.

She’s had one round of surgeries and is set to have another in the new year with the specialist vet.

Until then we need a new foster family to look after her!

She is happy outside most of the time, gets along with other dogs and kids and is ok with cats.

If she’s inside she will need to wear dog nappies until her surgery and she needs her bottom washed daily to stop any infection.

Other than that she’s a very happy girl and you will love looking after her.

Please click the link below and in the comment section of the form type “DAISY”

Please be careful!

Yesterday afternoon Cookie was outside exploring the backyard, as she does, her dinner was being prepared and when ready she was called inside. No one noticed anything unusual about her entrance into the house until after she started eating, when someone rounded the corner and saw a strange thing on the floor. Upon closer inspection it was clear it was a half eaten rat. While Cookie looked fine, her owners ran around asking neighbours if they had left out baits for mice/rats and found they had.

They rushed Cookie to AES and she was given meds to empty her stomach. They were onto it within 35-40 minutes which made for a much better outcome.

They were LUCKY, Cookie had brought the half eaten evidence inside so her owners could be onto it immediately. This obviously won’t always be the case. Some will eat all of the evidence, others will leave it in the backyard and another animal (bird) may grab it. This means your pets could get sick and you will have no idea what is wrong or what has caused it.

Be vigilant. Check your pets’ areas. If you have a rodent problem, use other means to deal with it. If you choose to use bait, alert your neighbours so they can be more cautious when their pets are outside.
