Why oh why do people feel the right to do this?? & why do people feel it’s ok to encourage them by buying little “ freaks” just because they are in some eyes “cute”?
Get yourself a stuffed toy if you must, leave live animals alone!

I’m reposting this from Chloe Barker at Blue Cross- with her permission 😢🫣🤦🏼‍♂️…

Can you believe this is a French Bulldog?

Brachycephalic pets already struggle because of poor breeding now people are pushing for ‘fluffier’ and even ‘hairless’ versions, making their health even worse.

As a brachycephalic rescue owner, I’ve seen the suffering firsthand. We need to be their voice and do better. They deserve better.

A reminder once again, please don’t give these to your dogs, they are not healthy, not good for them but in fact dangerous!!

Rawhide is often marketed as a popular chew for dogs but it carries risks that pet owners should be aware of.

Rawhide chews are made from the inner layer of animal hides, typically cow or horse.
The hides are cleaned, chemically treated and sometimes bleached to remove hair and odours.

Choking Hazard: Rawhide chews can soften as dogs chew on them, leading to large pieces breaking off. These chunks can become lodged in a dog's throat or block airways.

Digestive Blockages: Pieces of rawhide can swell in a dog's stomach or intestines, causing blockages that may require surgery to remove.

Chemical Contamination: Imported rawhide products may contain harmful chemicals.

Poor Nutritional Value: Rawhide offers no real nutritional benefit and serves only as a chew distraction, making safer alternatives a better choice.

In Australia, rawhide products are widely available but not all are safe. Imported rawhide, particularly from countries with less rigorous quality controls, poses the highest risks.

If you still want to provide a Rawhide treat to your dog, consider rawhide made only from 100% natural animal hide without added chemicals, dyes or preservatives.

Always supervise your dog when giving chews or toys.

I hate seeing dogs in the back of a Ute….. it is just so dangerous, even if they are chained, they can fall over the side & hang themselves, or slowly “ cook” in the hot sun.

Every year, about 100,000 dogs die because they ride in the back of trucks. And that’s just the number of dogs that die—even more get badly hurt.

Truck beds don’t protect dogs from the weather. On hot days, the metal floor can get so hot it burns their paws or skin. If a dog is left in the sun without water or shade, it can get heatstroke very quickly.

Even though dogs might look happy with the wind in their faces, dirt, dust, and other stuff in the air can hurt their eyes, ears, and lungs.

Never tie your dog to the truck bed. If the dog falls or jumps out, it could get strangled by the leash. This can happen in an accident or even if the dog just tries to jump out.

If your dog has to ride in the back of a truck, put it in a crate. Make sure the crate is tied down tightly so it can’t move around or fall out. This will help protect your dog from the wind and weather.

Keep your pets safe!

Every one is someone else to others. Apathy is such a dangerous emotion, but one most people suffer from….
We are all the “ somebody else “ to others!

We had a great day yesterday at Caringbah markets.
We raised some money to cover vet bills, met some of our previous rescues, namely Colin, Daisy & Grace, the puppies got lots of pats & attention ( especially from Amanda) & fingers & toes crossed we may even get an adoption!
Thank you for coming along & meeting our rescues & particularly the volunteers who gave up their Sunday to hang out with the pups… Debbie, Simone, Lisa, Brooke Michael & Anna.
Thanks also to Cathy & the crew from Rotary for their assistance & generosity!
Couldn’t ask for better weather either!!

Just how beautiful is our Sammie girl?
She is so calm & serene most of the time, she is just wonderful!
She was so well behaved at the Dogs Day Out Markets on Sunday, still a little nervous at times but she has come such a long way, since arriving with her puppies a few weeks ago.
In a quiet home, with not to much stimulation, gentle owners & perhaps another quiet dog for company, she will continue to gain confidence @ be all she can be .
She just needs that chance
Sammie wins hearts where ever she goes.

It’s a wrap! Tina, Tristen, Trevor, & Tully were exhausted after a day out at Caringbah Rotary Markets. They had so many pats, cuddles, and treats it was all a little overwhelming for these four 14 week old pups from Lightning Ridge. If you want to learn about how to adopt them contact us on [email protected]

Don’t forget CCAR are at Caringbah Rotary markets until 1.30-2pm today. If you are thinking about popping down the pups and volunteers would still love to see you!
