🪐 Meet Cosmo 🪐

Cosmo is a cattle dog mix and came in to see us with his mum a couple of weeks ago for his pre donor screening appointment.. nothing much seemed to phase him and he was very impressed by the unlimited treats and decided he would come back this week for his very first blood donation 🤩

Cosmo is also very special because he has the universal blood type DEA 1 Negative 🌟This means his blood can be given to any patient in need in an emergency - provided they haven’t received blood products before.

His blood was spun down and separated into packed red cells and plasma.. giving him the potential to save up to 3 lives! 🐶🐶🐶

We can’t wait to have you back Cosmo and we can’t wait to save more lives with you, good boy ❤️

🪿Meet Goose 🪿

Mr. Goose is the newest member of the WAVES blood bank donor program 🌟

Goose’s mum rescued him 2 years ago from some ruff circumstances and he has come leaps and bounds since

He will do absolutely anything for a treat and human attention… once the numbing cream was on his leg and the treats were flowing, Goose was all in and ready to go🩸🏥

In his spare time Goose loves hanging out with his dog brother Preston 🐕 (Preston even came in to support Goose’s first blood donation) Goose also enjoys sniffing out anything edible at the local park and getting into all sorts of mischief to keep his mum on her toes 🤭

Recently Goose’s blood was used in hospital and his frozen plasma remains safely in our blood bank freezer for the next patient in need. Thank you Goose, we can’t wait to see that beautiful face again soon 🩵

🍫🍩Meet Joyo 🍩🍫

This little chocolate treat is Joyo!

She is our newest member here in the WAVES blood bank family and has been training for this day for some time.. progress photos from when she was just a puppy 😍

She is the sister of our beloved blood donor Bixby and has been having happy visits since she was a puppy. Joyo would come along to appointments with her sister Bixby and get use to the sights and sounds of the hospital 🏥

Last week she donated for the very first time with her sister by her side and we couldn’t be prouder!

Joyo’s blood was used this weekend during an emergency procedure in which the patient needed red blood cells to stabilise.. thankfully due to Joyo’s donation and the dedication of our vets & nurses the patient was saved and is currently recovering in hospital.

On behalf of the patient, their family and us here at WAVES, thank you so much Joyo! We can’t wait to save more lives with you again soon! Bestest girl 😍❤️

🐕 Meet Monza 🐕

A very handsome shepherd gentleman who recently donated blood for the first time here with us and we can’t wait to tell you why we’re so proud! ✨

Monza was quite nervous when we first met him, the buzz of the clippers, the smells and sounds of the hospital were all new to him and he was very unsure of us.
Over the course of several weeks Monza visited us here in the blood bank with his dad. We would turn the clippers on and give him treats for each time his nose touched them, slowly working our way up to be able to clip his front leg, then transitioning to him sitting up on the table and letting us touch his paws and legs.

Next was the routine aspect, we would do a “dry run” going through the motions of a donation;
1. Waiting in reception
Treats
2. Vitals in the blood bank
Treats
3. Vet assessment and health check
More treats
4. Clipping his leg and wrapping in vet wrap.
Some more treats
5. Hopping up onto the table and touching his feet and legs
You guessed it.. more treats
6. Going for a toilet break in the yard and heading home.

When the big day came to donate, you wouldn’t have known only weeks ago Monza was nervous. He was an absolute pro and his blood was recently used to save a patients life who is now at home recovering with their family. ❤️

Well done Monza, we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see you next time! 🌟😍

🍌Meet Snoop 🍌

This handsome gentleman is Snoop!

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Snoop here at WAVES.. prior to his hero status as a blood donor he was a patient here with our surgery team. Our surgeons performed a TPLO on him and we’re happy to report he’s in tip top health, well rested and ready to save some lives! 🌟

All of our blood donors are extremely special and Snoop is no exception.. they all have their favourite snacks, toys and little quirks.. So when Snoops mum told us his favourite snack was banana.. we were sure to have some on hand for him 😌

During the process he enjoyed his frozen kong, treats and of course his most favourite treat.. banana! 🍌

Well done Snoop and thank you so much for your life saving donation, we can’t wait to see you next time 😍

Meet the cutie patootie Lola 🌼

Lola donated here with us for the very first time a couple of weeks ago, she passed her blood donor screening with flying colours and was ready to get to work.

Originally both Lola and her sister Charlie came in for their donor screening as their parents were hoping they could be blood donors together.. unfortunately Miss Charlie wasn’t destined to be a blood donor, however that of course didn’t stop her from supporting her sister while she saved some lives.. everyone needs a hype girl and Charlie was perfect for the job.

Lola took the process in her stride and enjoyed all of her chicken and treats throughout!

Lola’s blood has already been used to save 2 patients lives in hospital and her plasma has been frozen and stored ready for the next patient in need. On behalf of the patients families and us here at WAVES, thank you for your generous donation Lola.. we’ll see you again soon ❤️

💗🌟 HAPPY VET APPRECIATION DAY 🌟💗

Today is world veterinarian appreciation day.

We would like to invite you all in joining us to thank our kind and compassionate vets.

As you may know, each and every single time a donor walks through our doors they are always greeted and examined by our vets prior to donation.. making sure their hearts are strong, their bodies are healthy and of course making sure they feel comfortable within the hospital.

Without our wonderful vets we wouldn’t be able to save the lives we do. On behalf of the WAVES Blood Bank and the greater Perth community, thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication, we appreciate you ❤️

🛠️ Meet Murphy 🛠️

The newest addition to the WAVES blood donor program ❤️

Murphy donated for the very first time today with us and was an absolute superstar.. 🌟

For a young gentleman who is use to going to work with his dad on construction sites we thought he may be a bit apprehensive about coming in to see us at the hospital but he wasn’t phased at all.. even laying down and almost having a snooze through his donation!

Putting down the hard hat and tools today he even thought the payment of chicken and was a pretty sweet deal and he’ll be back to see us again soon 😍

Murphy’s blood was spun down and separated into packed red cells and plasma. That means he has the potential to save up to 3 different dogs lives.

Congratulations on your very first blood donation Murphy, make sure you tell the crew on site that you’re a life saver now and deserve all of the extra treats 😉❤️

Meet bouncy girl Suzie 💛

Suzie donated for the first time here with us last week and she came all the way from Yallingup, what a road trip!

This little lady donated in record time and her mum was quite impressed at how good she was for her first time.
Her blood was spun down and separated into packed red blood cells and plasma, ready to be used for the next patient in need.

In her down time Suzie loves going to the beach, annoying her cat brother Harry and sunbathing on the patio ☀️

We can’t thank her family enough for making the trip up to see us and we can’t wait to see her cheesy grin again soon! 💛

Good girl Suzie and congratulations on your very first blood donation, the first of many we’re sure 😍 🏆

Welcome 🌼 Daisy 🌼

Would you believe this is how Daisy enjoys herself in the blood bank?! Yes she is THAT chill.. mind you she’s usually laying on the cool floor while we feed her treats and tell her how sleek and beautiful she is!

Recently Daisy donated blood for the very first time with us and she was absolute perfection.

This time she traded the floor for the table with a soft blanket and one of our wonderful nurses giving her ear scratches with her mum right by her side throughout the donation process.

With a tummy full of treats and a comfy place to lay, there was no way Daisy was going back onto the floor, instead she opted to receive her recovery fluids happily on the table, have you ever seen such a chilled out hound?!

Thank you for your generous donation Daisy! You’ve already saved 2 lives and we can’t wait to see you again soon! 🐶❤️

Santa Paws delivering some well deserved goodie bags a little early this Christmas for our incredible blood donors! Shiloh and Thor have been with us here at WAVES for a few years now and recently helped teach some up and coming nurses how to perform safe and effective canine blood donations ❤️ Merry Christmas to all of our amazing blood donors across Perth and most importantly to the families that take time out of their busy days to come in and help us save some lives! Have a safe and happy happy season🎄🎁

Look at this fresh new beautiful face! This little ray of sunshine is Gracie ☀️ Gracie came to donate for the first time with us last week and was an absolute natural, she happily ate her Prime 100 goodies and of course freshly cooked chicken! She came in when we needed her the most. One of our hospital patients was having life saving thoracic surgery and her blood was needed on standby in case there was a catastrophic bleed. Her blood was kept on hold and in full form ready to be used if need be. Luckily our surgery patient didn’t require her blood during their procedure and was then spun down and separated into packed red cells and plasma, being safely stored in our blood bank awaiting the next patient in need. On behalf of our hospital patients and their families, thank you so very much Gracie, we look forward to seeing your smiley face again soon ❤️ If you’re interested in being a part of our blood donor program please contact us: 📧 [email protected] ☎️ (08) 9412 5700 Together, let’s save some lives 🐶❤️ #wavesblooddonorhero #australiananimalbloodbank #bloodhoundaustralia #remarkablepets #k9blooddonor #dogsdonatebloodtoo #blooddonorsofinstagram #bloodsaveslives #blooddonorheroes #canineblooddonor #dogblooddonor #donordog #caninelifesavers #idexx #prime100 #prime100petfood #animalbloodbank
