Forever with me in the pendant around my neck.

Happy 11th Birthday, Chelsea! 🥳❤️

My little Mouse ❤️—it’s incredible how deeply she’s captured my heart in such a short time. I truly believe she came into my life when I needed her most, helping to heal my heart. I feel like the universe brought us together. The fact that she was born just a day before Moon still blows my mind.

Chelsea’s birthday is 15/08/13, and Moon’s was 16/08/12 🤯

I’m a bit sad that I’m not in Perth to celebrate with her, but I’m going to spoil her like crazy when I get back!

Happy Birthday Chelsea. See you soon 😘

⭐️ All pups now have potential homes lined up ⭐️

Family portrait 🥰❤️

Amy’s babies are now 4weeks old. The difference between them at 4 weeks and my hand raised babies Peanut and Ginger at 4 weeks is phenomenal 😱

Goes to show mum is always best! We can replicate and give the very best of care but nothing is better than mom’s care and love!

I’m now taking expressions of interest on the pups. Perth based homes only ❤️

DM me if you’re interested.

Rua (Ginger) and Poppie (Peanut) came back to see me this week ❤️
I’m so proud of these two!

From tiny fragile little beans too healthy strong puppies. The work and time I put into these puppies was full on and so crazy thinking back on it.
Seeing them so healthy and happy in their new homes warms my heart so much 🥰

Rescue work and happy endings like this is my absolute passion 🥰

Also mum Maisie (Cookie) got her happy ending too. It was a struggle to get that for her but I made it happen. Now she lives a happy ever after with her new owner ❤️

Mission complete to make my friends poodle moms…
Only 3 more to rehome now, Amy’s beautiful puppies are next 🥰

Mumma Amy and her beautiful, healthy babies ❤️

Hand-raising Ginger and Peanut from birth had been an incredibly educational experience. But now comparing their growth with Amy’s pups has been fascinating.
These little ones are thriving, with thick, glossy coats and healthy appetites. Their eyes are just about to open—any day now!

Amy is happy, healthy, eating well, and getting spoiled every day. Happy endings for all are on the way!

Ginger is a big girl now! She’s graduated from the carrier to the car seat.

After a busy day at work, we stopped by the local pub for a quick drink on the way home. We met a beautiful boy named Boony, who was very interested in Ginger. Since she’s only had one vaccine, she stayed away from him snug in my jacket.

It’s important to safely socialize puppies from a young age to help them become well-adjusted adult dogs. I’m all about safely taking puppies out to explore the world. This means avoiding dog parks, beaches, and walking on pavements. However, it’s perfectly fine to carry your puppy to cafes, pubs, and other busy areas with lots of noise so they can get used to different environments.

Here are a few more tips for safe socialization:

1. Introduce Gradually: Start with quieter places before moving to busier environments.
2. Positive Experiences: Ensure each outing is positive. Bring treats and praise your puppy for calm behavior.
3. Meet Safe Dogs: If possible, let your puppy meet healthy, vaccinated dogs in controlled settings.
4. Exposure to Sounds: Expose your puppy to various sounds like traffic, household noises, and children playing, in a safe manner.
5. Short Sessions: Keep socialization sessions short and gradually increase the duration as your puppy becomes more comfortable.

By following these guidelines, you’ll help your puppy grow into a confident and well-behaved adult dog.

So much change 💓

Peanut goes to her new home this Saturday and Ginger goes the following Saturday.
I’m so glad they are going to my close friends and I’ll get to see them all the time.
They are going to have the best spoiled little lives just like they deserve 🥰

Today, I took Chelsea out for lunch, but it ended in a bit of a disaster. 😔

I noticed her hind paw was swelling up, and it was getting worse by the minute. Chelsea isn’t the most cooperative when something’s wrong, she uses her gummy one tooth mouth to let me know she doesn’t want my help 😂 So examining her outside in public was a challenge. Once we got home, I put a muzzle on her and had a friend hold her for me so I could examine her.

On examination I found a bee sting lodged between her toes and carefully removed it with tweezers. I gave her an antihistamine and applied some Neocort ointment to reduce the irritation. Thankfully, she didn’t have a bad reaction. 🐝❤️

In my line of work, I’ve seen dogs with severe reactions to bee stings, including swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, pale gums, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or even collapse. If your dog gets stung by a bee and you’re worried, always consult your vet.
Chelsea was lucky today to only have only a mild reaction, but it could have been much worse.

Excited to announce that Chelsea has been chosen as a Huskimo Hound! 🙌🏻❤️

Throughout the years, Moon, Cheech & Dearg always rocked the latest Huskimo gear – jackets, jumpers, harnesses, you name it. We’re huge fans!

Now, I’m thrilled that Chelsea gets to follow in their pawprints as a Huskimo Ambassador.

Can’t wait to share all the latest from Huskimo’s new range over the next few months.

Stay tuned for some paw-some looks! 🐾

Dearg loves Moon’s memorial garden, he keeps going down and sitting in front of it ❤️

I managed to capture this beautiful photo of him as the sun was setting and the sky was putting on a show…

Today brought heartbreak as I had to say goodbye to Flossy. 💔
Despite my commitment to giving her a chance at a happy life, her vet check on Friday revealed she had a heart murmur at just 11 weeks old.
An echocardiogram revealed her heart murmur was severe and a consequence of her inbreeding. Knowing that her condition would only worsen with time, and already seeing her struggle with exercise intolerance, I made the difficult decision, with guidance from our vets at Warwick Vet Hospital, to let her go peacefully.

Flossy’s story is a tragic one, born deformed due to irresponsible breeding practices. Her Mum bred with her older brother. Meaning her dad was her brother 🤦🏻‍♀️
Inbreeding led to birth defects like her cleft lip and heart murmur. Sadly, her sister was euthanized last week due to another birth deformity, a liver shunt.

The root of this heartache is preventable—desexing. It’s frustrating to witness these cases in my work in the veterinary industry. Responsible pet ownership, including desexing, could spare countless animals from suffering like Flossy.

While I’m dedicated to giving animals in need a chance, days like today weigh heavy on the soul. It’s not a nice situation for me or my veterinary team to be involved in.
I really wish people weren’t irresponsible and just desexed their pets. 😔

Flossy 🤍🩶

Today she had her vet check
We obviously knew she had a cleft lip but we were worried she may have other congenital issues too.
Well today it was unfortunately confirmed that she has a pretty bad heart murmur.
Heart murmurs in dogs are graded 1-6. Dr Katherine and Dr Magda at Warwick Vet graded Flossy’s at a 5 😞
This is very sad news as Flossy was heading to her foster home today for hopefully her new start in life.

I had to inform her foster family of the bad news and let them know that she needs further testing to determine what happens to her. It may all end in heartbreak 💔

Animal rescue is really not for the faint hearted.
It seems the animals that need the most help somehow end up making their way to me and Warwick Vet.

❤️❤️❤️ Sorted ❤️❤️❤️

Any of my friends in Perth thinking about getting a puppy? Want to help me save a life?

Foster carer needed ❤️

Meet Flossy 🦷

This little tiny puppy needs someone to help her. She is 8 to 10 weeks old. She’s currently in Newman, but getting transfered to me in Perth this weekend.
She has a cleft lip. I’ve been told she’s otherwise well, just has a cleft lip.
I need somebody who is willing to foster her, or even better foster with the view to adopt her.
I cannot take her on personally as I currently have Chelsea.
The Ranger has reported that she is a bull Arab x mastiff.

Moons mission will cover her vet fees and sort her food.
She has been in the pound in Newman for about a week and was going to be euthanised because of her deformity.
I don’t want that to happen, so I need somebody to offer to foster her.
Can anyone help DM me if so and we’ll chat.

Meet the sweetest, most gentle dog, Chelsea ❤️
She was surrendered to us last week. She unfortunately needs specialist spinal surgery that we cannot provide here.
So far we have raised $5000 but we need help raising the other $4000. Please donate what you can to the link in our bio and on our page. We love here and just really want to help her.

Me again needing some assistance with fundraising for another animal in need.... Meet Chelsea, she … Kate Doyle needs your support for Please help Chelsea

And just like that, another foster kid has arrived.

Meet Chelsea ❤️
She is a 10 year old Italian greyhound. Her owner passed away, recently, leaving her alone. Friends of the Owner took her in, but realised she needed more care than they could give her.
Unfortunately, Chelsea has lived a somewhat neglected life. She was by all accounts an outside dog, left in the backyard without much human interaction.

She had a few medical issues.
1. She had never been speyed, leaving her at risk of a pyometra.
2. She had multiple lumps needing removal.
3. Rotten teeth needing removal
4. An oronasal fistula (a hole in her mouth leading to her nasal cavity caused by previous rotten teeth that had fallen out)

She visited our clinic last week with the people that were caring for her since her owner passed away. They brought her to have her assessed by our vets to see what treatment she needed.magda.vet told me her story and I felt compelled to help. Initially I was going to try organise a rescue to take her but then I remembered I still had money left over that I had raised for Rooney on our Moons Mission vet account at Warwick. So I decided who better to receive it than Chelsea.
Today she was surrendered to me. Once she was signed over we got to work doing had all her vet work straight away.
She recovered very well post op and came home with me this afternoon to meet her new foster brothers Dearg and Cheech. She made herself at home straight away with no issues. Let’s hope that continues.

Such a little sweetie Chelsea I’m so glad we could help you ❤️

Happy Gotcha Day Cheech

6 years ago you came into my life and came home with me for one night…
The rest is history, traumatic experiences of you trying to die all the time, fear you will actually succeed one day in the future and becoming accustomed and unfazed by your toileting habits 🤣
I loved watching your face go from sad pug to extremely happy pug in that first year.

Keep living my lil wonder Pug. My favourite joke is that your still alive and kicking 🥰❤️😎
