Hamilton Doggy Daycare

31/12/2024

Enjoy your New Years festivities tonight folks, but don’t forget your fur family and friends. Please keep your kids inside, safe and as comfortable as possible. Fireworks are loud, bright and can be very scary for those who don’t understand what’s going on.

Otherwise though! Wishing you all a great night and a very healthy and happy 2025! ❤️😘

Please consider donating if at all possible 🙏

Hi, my name is Shelly from Hamilton Wildlife Shelter in Victori… Shelly Burrowes needs your support for GRAMPIANS BUSHFIRE WILDLIFE RESCUE AND CARE – OFFICIAL

WILDLIFE AFTER THE FIRES
Please Share if able ♡

The Department of Environment (DEECA) has spent the last couple of years creating a system and training up volunteers to be deployed in teams across emergency situations such as Bushfires. The teams will include DEECA staff, vets, sometimes darters, and wildlife carers/rescuers who have done the training. These teams cannot be deployed until the firegrounds are safe and no longer hot. This can take a couple of weeks.

The program is called WESN and if you want more information you can check it out here https://www.wildlife.vic.gov.au/wildlife-emergencies/wildlife-fire-emergencies/wildlife-emergency-support-network

Local Shelters to the Grampians include Wildwood Wildlife Shelter (Ph 0418 161 826) and Hamilton Wildlife Shelter (Ph 0409 187 625), plus some other shelters situated around Black Ranges and Stawell (don't have social media pages). Between us we have a network of carers, rescuers and transporters that can assist. Please feel free to contact us with questions or for advice if you find injured wildlife in the areas around the Grampians that aren't currently impacted by the fires.

For wildlife affected by the fires DEECA Grampians are requesting the following:
-----
"If you find an injured animal impacted by a bushfire, do the right thing.🐾 🐾 ❤️

📞Report it to DEECA by calling 136 186 or via the Wildlife Emergency App at https://wildlife.ffm.vic.gov.au/ "
-----

Be assured that animals that are found during the firefighting process are being taken to local vet clinics where they are being assessed and then will be sent to our Shelters if they are viable to rehabilitate.

I will reiterate that at this stage, going forward, we don't know what is going to happen regarding injured and starving wildlife. Please don't panic, we need to let the process unfold and let the WESN team do what they have trained for. Attempts to involve non-accredited rescuers, put up posts telling people what donations to collect, who to call, etc just complicates things for everyone and interferes with the system in place.

When we know more, we will post more ♡♡♡

Today promises to be shocker, guys... Just a reminder to keep your fur babies cool, comfortable and hydrated - indoors if possible.

Don’t forget our birds, wildlife or neighbourhood strays either. Leave out dishes of fresh water and keep an eye out for any animals in distress - many of our animal friends will be struggling today.

Please stay safe, please be kind, and let’s watch out for one another. ❤️

Due to the current heatwave with temperatures expected to reach 36°C today, and the possibility of severe thunderstorms, Hamilton Doggy Daycare is closed today for the health and safety of our doggy friends.

As well as taking extra special care of our fur babies to help them stay hydrated and comfortable today, please take a moment to put out some fresh water for our other animal friends - including native birds and animals and our stray animal population.

Everyone will be hot today and in need of a little extra love and care. Please stay safe an watch out for one another.
