In the early hours of a quiet morning, Uma, a young American Staffordshire Terrier, was fighting for her life.

After a brutal attack on her by two other male dogs in her home, Uma was surrendered to our care, absolutely covered in deep lacerations and bite wounds on her legs, stomach and back.

Uma's injuries were so severe that she required immediate surgery that would cost nearly $10,000. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Lort Smith was able to save Uma's life and give her a second chance.

As we approach one of our busiest time of the year, your support is more critical than ever.

Right now, we are striving to raise $180,000 by December 24 to provide urgent, life-saving care for animals like Uma, who have endured unimaginable hurt and trauma.

Your generous donation can help save a pet's life this Christmas https://bit.ly/3RKsL4H

Pumpkin and Peppa are brother and sister looking for their new home.

Once they both feel comfortable, they both like to welcome you with a roll on their back to show off their beautiful tabby tummy markings!

Pumpkin is the more affectionate of the two, but Peppa soon warms up with the chasing wand games and gains that cheeky confidence around you.

Both cats would benefit from an enriching and safe outdoor area that they can explore as a dynamic duo.

They would be best suited to a quiet and calm home.

If you think you can provide the perfect home for Pumpkin and Peppa, please come into our adoption centre during open hours or fill in an expression of interest.

Today is Wombat Day, and what better way to celebrate these delightful marsupials than by sharing some fun facts about these furry creatures.

1. Wombats are the only animal in the world that have cube-shaped poo.
2. Wombats might look big and slow, but they can run up to 40 miles an hour.
3. Wombats carry their young in a pouch; however, unlike other marsupials, their pouch is rear facing.

What is your favourite wombat fact?

Meet Rhino, Rhino loves people and wants nothing more than to be your best friend! He’s looking for a family that will give him daily walks, have a backyard for zoomies, and let him snuggle on the sofa with them after a big day.

He is very well-rounded and loves kids, so he could definitely fit in well with a family that doesn’t mind the odd jump or two. Rhino could live with another calm, well-socialised dog who knows to interact gently and help keep things relaxed. But he would also be quite content as an only pet, so he can soak up all the attention. Due to his breed and instinct to chase, he isn’t suitable to live in a family with any small animals.

Could Rhino be what’s missing from your family? To meet Rhino please visit our Adoption Centre at 25-35 Berwick RoadCampbellfield VIC 306, or apply online via our website. https://lortsmith.com/adoption/available-for-adoption/rhino/

Have you booked your pet for desexing? Desexing prevents unwanted litter, reduces cancer risk, and improves behaviour.

By getting your pet spayed or neutered, you're playing a crucial role in reducing the number of homeless pets and lessening the burden on shelters.

Desexing your pet is essential for your pets and our community.

Contact us at Lort Smith to book your pet for desexing or more information today lortsmith.com/

Meet Nurse Jess, the Head Nurse of Surgery at Lort Smith. She loves being a vet nurse because she can see the immediate impact of her work on the animals in her care. Recently, little Frida arrived at Lort Smith with an eye injury, and Jess was there every step of the way to nurture her back to health and help her adapt to the world with only one eye.

This week, we're celebrating Veterinary Nurse and Technologist Week! Our incredible veterinary nurses and technicians at Lort Smith play a crucial role in caring for our patients and making a meaningful difference each day.

We are grateful to have been selected as recipients of the 2024 Foundation Day fundraiser by the Nelson Alexander Charitable Foundation.

This year, all funds raised via Foundation Day will be directed towards organisations working to support those affected by abuse.

Lort Smith works with human agencies to provide temporary, loving foster homes for the pets of people going through a personal crisis, including those experiencing domestic violence. By securing a protected environment for pets, our Emergency Assistance Program helps remove barriers that prevent many people from seeking safety.

Please feel free to join us on Saturday, 12th October, at 10.00am, for the auction of 4 Cornwall Street, Brunswick West, an event that will generously support our cause.

Pablo is a smart, energetic Kelpie mix looking for a home where he can put his mind to good use learning new skills and tricks. Like most Kelpies, he is highly food-motivated.

Once Pablo has burnt off his energy, he loves nothing more than a good snuggle on the sofa and some neck tickles. He also loves to get groomed and will sit politely in the bath and then melt while getting a good brush and pamper.

Pablo has lived with older children before so could do so again, and would prefer to be the only animal in the home so he can soak up all the attention.

If you’re an active person or family looking for a loyal and loving companion, Pablo might be the perfect fit for you! Please fill out the expression of interest form, and we’ll be in touch!
