Can you identify the stress signal in this video? Much of dog body language is quick and subtle and you will miss it if you don’t know what to look for.

BRING BACK THE BAN ON GREYHOUND RACING

📅 Friday 17th October 2025
🕔 5:00pm
📍 Wentworth Park, Wentworth Park Rd, Glebe NSW 2037

Greyhounds are dying every day on Australian racetracks.
In 2024, 128 dogs were killed and over 11,450 were injured.

Already this year, at least 26 greyhounds have died and almost 2,000 have been injured in NSW alone – the highest injury rate in the country.

Yet the NSW Government continues to hand over millions of taxpayer dollars to keep this cruelty alive. And now, in the heart of Sydney, Wentworth Park, Crown Land meant for the community, is still leased to the racing industry, where hundreds of dogs have suffered.

It’s time to show decision-makers that enough is enough.

My foster dog Lexi eats much too quickly so I am using this muffin tray to slow her down. It works pretty well.

Yesterday, I had the privelage of giving a presentation about Dog Rescue Newcastle and safety around dogs to students of Merewether Heights Public School.

A foster carer was kind enough to bring her foster dog Lucy and talk about fostering. Lucy was an absolute superstar 🌟! She adored all the kids and wasn’t at all worried about all the people and being on stage. She was a shining example of how amazing rescue dogs are!

I can’t praise the children enough. They were very interested and well behaved. I had such a wonderful time.

If you live near the state border of NSW or travel out of state with your pet, it's advisable to register your pet with the Australasian Animal Registry. It only costs $15 and you can do it quickly online:
https://www.aar.org.au/

AAR is a nation wide registry. This registration also ensures that if your pet is stolen and taken out of state then no one else can register them and claim ownership in the registry.

The Australasian Animal Registry (AAR) is a core pillar of the RAS, operating since 1989, through which we seek to support and protect lost pets to return them to their owners.

This is the ideal shape for dog harness. It’s called a “Y” harness because the chest piece meets the collar piece in a “Y” shape under the throat. This is good because it doesn’t impede the forward movement of the legs and doesn’t choke the dog.

The harnesses in the photo have a lead attachment at the back plus at the front. The front attachment can be used during the early phases of training loose lead walking.

You can buy this “Vari-Fit Harness” from https://www.politepaws.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=137_138

It’s what both of my dogs wear.

Found a lost or injured animal? Don't expect the RSPCA to help. 😡 But be sure to send them all your donations though, because that's all they're interested in. 💲

Vets won't hold lost animals anymore and council do as little as possible.

Found a lost animal outside of the middle of a weekday? Too bad. You're on you're on. Council will tell you to hold it until Monday or let it go. 😡 Animals are their lowest priority. But they always have buckets of money for sports facilities and playgrounds.

RSPCA NSW has spent years accumulating enormous wealth, while doing less and less animal welfare work. Intakes have fallen drastically over the past decade, while making annual profits of $8-10 million which is piled into its investment portfolio.
Now it has gone a step further, advertising that it won't take strays - even injured ones - to transfer to council pounds. Because it's costing them money, the poor dears. Maybe they are at risk of making only a $5 million profit?
It's past time to strip RSPCA of any special status and powers. To subject them to the same reporting requirements as the rest of us. And force its to use its accumulated wealth to help the animals, as its donors intended, not locked up in the stock market.
