SAVED! Meet Tubby!
Meet Tubby, a charming and lovable Border Collie cross Kelpie, whose personality is as captivating as his good looks. With his expressive eyes, he has an endearing way of making those around him feel special.
Tubby particularly bonds well with those he considers to be āhis peopleā. Despite initial shyness with some men, every day sees him growing more comfortable and open, making more and more progress to overcoming this minor hitch.
In terms of his home environment, Tubby appreciates a tranquil setting, ideally in a semi-rural area. He prefers not to be left alone outside and enjoys the comfort of a warm home teeming with affectionate humans. Once he has bonded with his owner, prepare for endless sessions of tummy rubs and wholesome cuddles. Not to mention that Tubby is a hilarious fur companion which guarantees countless fun and laughter-filled days.
When it comes to other animals, Tubby is absolutely fine. He peacefully ignores cats, and even kangaroos on hikes donāt trigger a hint of āchase instinctā. In fact, he loves hikes and bushwalks, happily trotting along on your outdoor adventures. Additionally, heās just as content curling up next to you on the couch for a quiet evening.
As with most Border Collies, Tubby thrives on being active. For this active boy, nothing is more fun than a hike in the great outdoors or playing around in water. Yet, he also enjoys the simple pleasure of nestling in bed with his foster mother. His adaptability also extends to car rides where heās a delightful passenger.
The ideal family for Tubby is one that understands the breedās need for a little bit of activity and plenty of affection. As such, an active couple or family who can provide him with love, patience, and understanding will be rewarded with a loyal, fun-loving, and incredibly loyal companion. Special thanks to @ameliagow who took and rehabilitated Tubby last minute, she has done incredible work with him to make him feel more confident after he was le

Welcome Chestnut!
Welcome to @marcosmallpetrescueaustralia smoochy angel boy: Chestnut! Chestnut is a darling little boy, who will have all his veterinary work done in January when our vet clinic reopens. He is a Cairn Terrier cross, and loves kisses, cuddles and attention. He is currently on trial with his prospective new senior owner who has had terriers her whole life, so please no adoption enquiries yet. Your new life starts now little manā¤ļøšš» Thankyou to Paul and Sue, our amazing team member and friends, who collected this bub just before Christmas so he could spend it with a loving family. Chestnut was found wandering in the heat, no microchip, no registration and not castrated. Please, please take care of your pets! Most of our intakes seem to have the same stories of neglect or negligence. #msprhasthebestteam!ā¤ļø #ontrialadoption
Totos Puppies, Toto in Recovery. Puppies rejected, but our vet team is working around the clock to save them and keep them stable.
Toto has had a C-Section and delivered two puppies. They are not stable yet and the beautiful vet nurses at @mbf.vet.centre have been initially tube feeding, now syringe feeding every 90-120 minutes. They are doing all they can to keep them alive with correct heating, fluids, sugars ect. Prenatal puppies and animals are extremely delicate. Toto has no motherly instinct to feed, so it is our only option to help them survive with human intervention. Thankyou to all the surgeons who worked on Toto and the vet nurses, especially Yana and Courtney who are doing everything they can to help them survive.šš»ā¤ļø
Miss Maxiās new quiet lifešš»ā¤ļø
Adopted! Maxi has the perfect quiet home that her previous owners have always knew she neededšš» Miss Maxi has just been adopted after her trial adoption period, to a beautiful family down south. Her previous family knew their faster pace lifestyle was causing a few behavioural issues for Maxi and that she would feel alot better living a quiet, serene life. It was a very difficult and emotional decision for her previous owners, and they assisted with all aspects of Maxiās adoption to ensure she would thrive in her new home. Congratulations to both familiesā¤ļøā¤ļø Maxi is absolutely content and loving life!
Itās taken some time to post this caseš¢šš» However it must be told.
One of our worst neglect and breeding cases this year.š¢ Meet Toto, Toto is only estimated to be around 6 years old, she has the most beautiful disposition and has experienced a life of neglect and abuse. She came to our rescue with her bonded mate Toby, who was so frightened to have a lead on that he soiled himself. Their cigarette/tar burns and skin conditions are continually being treated. Unfortunately Totoās story gets worse, she is pregnant and due to give birth in the next two weeks. This will be her last pregancy! Please look at Toto as this is a beautiful girl who has been used and abused by a backyard breeder. Those cute puppies on gumtree you buy, all go to nice homes where the beautiful mothers are then rebred. Itās a sick, horrific practice. Toto will be gifted to her beautiful new mother, and she will never have to live a life of abuse again. Thankyou to @mbf.vet.centre who have taken on Totoās and Tobyās case, and will be treating her throughout her pregancy and there after. Puppies are our worst nightmare as a rescue! Itās of our utmost importance that Toto has a complication free birth and we are doing everything we can to ensure this. Updates coming in the following days.

Fredās Journey
Fred was released to our rescue from the pound, where he had deformed legs and hard, scabbed over lesions on his legs from a life laying on hard concrete flooring. He has been gifted to a lovely lady called Pamela who just adores him and will keep up his arthritis and pain management plan as reccomended by our veterinarian. He is being sterilised next week. Fred is believed to be only 6 ish years old, and the severity of his condition could of been prevented and he would not have to of suffered years of pain and neglect. Fred from now on, you have an incredibly loving home, your first soft bed, and are starting to experience the finer things life has to offer like daily walks and swimming! Neglect cases like this, are horrendous and no dog or anyone for that matter should have to endure such cruelty. Pamela, truly well done for opening your heart and home to this baby boyšš»
Buddy has his furever homeš„¹
Oh Buddy! What a journey you have had with us! Writing this post is so emotional as he has been through months of skin treatments/ infections, grade 4/6 heart murmur treatment, and last week he was given the all clear for his sterilisation operation. He has been an absolute champ through it all. Thankyou to Enrica and her partner who were so vigilant with all his medications, and his other fosters who helped him progress along the way. Buddy now lives with the most amazing family! He lives on a beautiful property with Karen and her gorgeous family, and heāll be joining them for his first holiday in the coming weeks! What a beautiful journey!šš» At nearly 12yrs old, he finally experiences a beautiful pain free, loving lifeš„¹šš»ā¤ļø
