Bluey has been missing since Tuesday, high winds loosened the gate on his property and being such a timid boy, Bluey ran.

He’s been across the highway multiple times, back to the vicinity of his home running around the streets. Sighted at Sweetwater Creek in Frankston, Bluey is now way out of his home location and been spotted in Eramosa Road Somerville, near to the police station.

Bluey is obviously frantic and in full flight mode, he won’t come to anyone when sighted, he just runs.

Milly’s Search, Trap & Reunite are a new team of volunteers who are working with Blueys owner Kaz to bring him home; please give them a follow on Facebook, a great team doing amazing things for the lost dogs unable to find their way home.

If you could keep a lookout for Bluey and SHARE this or Milly’s posts we’d be grateful 🤞

Running possibly the smallest dog rescue charity out there!! it means the world to us to know we have an amazing team of professionals we can call on for help and support.

The fact they do it for FREE! means we don’t have to dip into our bank account to pay for their services; did you know every single cent of the donations and the money we raise at our events goes directly towards the dogs in our care. Not one cent is spent on anything other than that, and the general costs we have no choice but to pay in keeping the charity running legally.

A shout out to James from Sherpa Digital - Websites, SEO & Digital Marketing for working on a few issues with our donation button, we’re all back up and running perfectly now; thanks James, we really appreciate your help 🌟

Melbourne based agency delivering digital services to businesses across Australia, including Website Development, WordPress Maintenance, SEO, Electronic Marketing and Social Media Management. Get in touch today to chat about your next project.

Max has a new home with Dad Paul!

The updates are that Max has formed an incredible bond with his new Dad, and it seems he has Paul wrapped around his paws already.

We extend our warmest congratulations to both as they forge a bright future together 💙

Leaving our gang inside at home while we popped out to catch up with friends for lunch; with cool water to drink, the blinds pulled down to keep out the heat, the aircon on and the ceiling fan blowing out the cold air - at 1pm we saw our first dog being walked in the already searing heat.

For the next 2.5 hours we were all discussing the amount of owners who obviously had zero consideration for their poor dogs as the temperature kept on rising.

One couple emerged from the beach with 2 border collies and a small Akita who were hopping around on the blistering road as the stupid woman tried to dodge the traffic and drag the poor dogs to what I can only imagine was the inferno inside the car they then put them into.

What the hell is wrong with the owners? Are they honestly even paying attention to the warnings plastered across the news channels/social media/radio stations or do they live underneath a rock.

Heatwave warnings, fire warnings, the past two days we have been aware of the dangers and then to still see dogs outside with owners who don’t give a toss is unacceptable.

By the time we drove home it was already past the forecast top of 36c and we’d hit 41.5c, and still people were carrying dogs off of the burning sand into their cars.

Honestly people are way past stupid…..no wonder I prefer dogs!

When it’s too hot to go for a walk, but they still want to go for a walk!

A quick walk (for me) up and down the street and they think they’ve been on an hours journey…..😊

Wishing you all a safe and happy NYE everyone! Thanks again for the support as we continue past our first year….

Beau sailed through his vet check, he’s booked in for a dental this week, and we just know this super sweet little guy will have the most amazing new life to look forward to.

We are all very excited for what 2025 has in store for us, there are so many little ones out there who need a helping hand and we will always do our utmost to take those we can.

Thanks again for joining us in our journey ♥️

Just hanging with my foster siblings; Fred being my first favourite, followed by Poppy, who generally likes to sleep!

I love pretty much everyone apart from George, who loves me regardless ♥️

You can find us at 1100 Nepean Hwy, Mornington 3931, from now until 4pm.

Big thanks to our BBQ sponsors today - All Washed Out and Rene at Ninch Solutions!

Our feisty little man Benny’s training is a work in progress.

He has a few triggers that are being addressed, and with our commitment to him and the way he handles certain things in life, we’ll continue to do everything possible in order to make sure he has the best chance of being able to find his own family.

It’s obvious that in his previous home he was very much allowed to do what he wanted without any boundaries to guide him in what is acceptable behaviour.

Being a small dog with a big attitude is not something that should be taken lightly - it’s oh so easy to think this tiny dog is super cute and therefore shouldn’t be trained to play nicely, as was the case in Benny’s past. Imagine if this was a large breed exhibiting the same behaviour, you could see how things would turn very ugly, extremely fast.

The fact is Benny needs to learn how to behave in a respectful manner in order for him to be able to be rehomed.

We’re 90% of the way there, just a little way to go to get to the end goal 💙

Yesterday we welcomed Beau to our Sweet Paws family, one of 5 surrender requests since Friday, sadly we’re unable to say yes to anymore due to having so few carers.

We’re taking a little senior man next week, and with the 6 we currently have in foster care we desperately need carers to join our mission.

Beau is an almost 9 yr old Shih Tzu x toy poodle, a shining star with a few things we’ve been made aware of, and he’ll be going in for his vet check very soon.

We’re hopeful he’ll settle in in the next few days, with the hustle and bustle of Christmas this little man just needs to have some quiet time to relax, unwind, and feel safe in his new surroundings.

Welcome Beau, we’re overjoyed to have you 💙

Scarlett is learning to use the doggie door and happily takes herself out to the garden to toilet.

For a dog that was returned twice after being adopted from RSPCA due to toileting issues in the house, we can safely say Scarlett has had no such problems since being in foster care.

We are confident that Scarlett is almost ready to take the next step in finding her new home, watch out for a soon-to-be announcement!

In the meantime, she loves her daily walks at the beach, even dipping her paws in the water to cool off - daily walks are definitely a 'top of the list' option for little Scarlett 💖
