We’re waiting on the biopsy results from Faith’s mammary tumours and are hopeful they’ll be through this week.

In the meantime, Faith is showing us all what true resilience looks like. She’s taking everything in her stride, radiating kindness and love to everyone she meets.

A gentle soul with the most beautiful spirit, reminding us why we never give up on these precious ones 💕

Gemma came into our care in February 2024 after being surrendered by her owner.

In May, she was adopted by a caring family who gave her the love and comfort she had always deserved.

Yesterday, at 16 years of age, Gemma passed away peacefully, surrounded by those who cherished her and gave her the life she had once been denied.

Run free sweet Gemma, forever loved ✨

Lucy has been adopted!

At just 3 years old, Lucy found herself surrendered to the shelter, timid, shy, and easily overwhelmed. With time, patience, and the love of her foster family, she began to flourish. And now… Lucy has her very own forever home!

Her new family tells us she’s adored by Roxi and Sunny, but it’s big sister Chloe who has truly stolen Lucy’s heart. Chloe is now Lucy’s favourite ball thrower, and the two spend endless hours together - best friends already.

A huge thank you to Malcolm and Sandra for their incredible foster care. With their guidance, Lucy blossomed into the confident, happy young lady she is today.

We are so proud of you Lucy, this sweet girl now has the life and the family she always deserved 💖

Our sweet senior gentleman Dash, who was adopted in early July, has sadly been surrendered back into our care.

We are heartbroken for him — this was never the outcome we had hoped for. Dash will visit our vets on Monday for a full health check, and from there we’ll begin the search once again for his true forever home, where he can finally be the centre of someone’s world.

In the meantime, we are thankful to have a foster home ready to welcome him. His foster carer will be supported by our wonderful foster mum Giulia, who will continue to make sure he has everything he needs while we search for that very special person to be his family for life.

✨ Please share Dash’s story and help us find the special someone who will open their heart and give him the lifetime of love he so deserves.

✨ New Arrival – Pixie ✨

We recently welcomed little Pixie (not so little just yet – she’s on the road to shedding some extra kilos!) into care after a sad surrender from her late owner’s daughter. This was never a situation anyone expected, but Pixie’s behaviour had become increasingly difficult to manage.

Thankfully, foster parents Marion and John – who bring a wealth of rescue experience – have opened their home and hearts to her.

Pixie is settling in well so far. She’ll be on a strict diet and exercise plan to help her health, along with some gentle but firm boundaries to guide her behaviour. With time, patience, and structure, we’re hopeful this spirited girl will soon flourish in her new chapter.

She may be a little growly now, but behind that is a grieving girl whose heart needs time to heal. She has a vet check booked early next week, followed by a much needed bath and hairdo at our wonderful groomers – small but important steps toward helping her feel more comfortable in herself 💕

Tess had her vet check yesterday and we know her dry eye will require lifelong medication.

She remains extremely quiet, which is completely understandable given her background – progress for this timid little lady will be taken in baby steps. We know Tess’s journey will be a long one, and like the other Bichons who came to us from the same place, she is very wary of the world around her.

One thing Tess does love is her food, and she’s already gained some much-needed weight. She also finds comfort in the security of her bed, her safe place where she can quietly observe the comings and goings of her foster family while she slowly learns that she is safe and loved.

Please cheer Tess on as she continues her journey – with patience, kindness and time, we know her world will begin to brighten 💕

Wow!

Thank you to Dashing Designer Dogs Mornington for your ongoing support and kindness. On Friday, Mitzi enjoyed a wonderful makeover – and what a stunner she is! She looks absolutely gorgeous, and we are so grateful for the care you provide to our foster dogs.

Mitzi also had her vet check with Dr Teresa and received a clean bill of health. Other than a very low-grade (1–2) luxating patella (so avoiding big jumps will be best for her), she passed with flying colours – and we couldn’t be happier 💕

When foster mum Giulia went into sheer panic mode this morning looking for Jordy to give him his brekky… nowhere to be seen!

She ran outside, checked everywhere… and then found him right here ⬇️😅

🎄🐾 A huge festive thank you to the amazing Tania from T's Dog Coats!

Tania is a long-time supporter of rescue and once again she’s spoiled us with a bundle of her gorgeous Christmas bandanas. These always fly off the table at our fundraisers (and speaking of… keep an eye out for our Xmas celebration/fundraiser/bring-your-pooch get together is coming soon!).

We’re so grateful for your generosity, Tania – your kindness, creativity, and ongoing support make such a difference for our dogs ♥️

Yay – Grace has been adopted!

This beautiful girl is off to live her very best life with her forever family. We couldn’t be prouder of how far Grace has come since her very first day in care, blossoming into the sweet, gentle soul she is today.

A huge thank you to her foster mum Judith, who gave Grace the love, patience, and guidance she needed to learn just how wonderful life can be.

Happy tails, Grace – your new adventure begins now 💕

We’re looking for foster carers!

Do you live on or near the Mornington Peninsula (Vic) and are able to get to our vet partners at Penvetcare?
We’d love to hear from you!

We are a small breed dog rescue only, and we provide everything you’ll need to care for a foster dog – bedding, a walking set, food, and of course we cover all vet bills. All you need to provide is a safe and loving home while they wait for their forever family.

If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart and home to a little one in need, fostering is a truly rewarding way to help.
