💔 ROTO UPDATE 💔

Roto went to the vet today for the hook in his tail and the broken tail.

We did xrays to see what we were dealing with.

What we weren't expecting was to find ROCKS in his gut. Yes ....rocks. this poor boy must have been so hungry, he resorted to ROCKS.

Unfortunately, they also found 3 separate fracture across his vertebrae with different estimated time frames.

We have made the unanimous decision along with the vets to amputate his tail once he is strong enough to be put under anesthetic. The tail is part of the spine so being severely broken and fused wrong, does effect the rest of his back.

He will also need extensive physiotherapy to help his muscles to redevelop due to severe muscle wastage from starvation. His hips are also out due to his tail.

It's going to be a long road ahead for this boy but luckily he came to us - group prepared to stop at nothing and throw everything at him from a holistic approach.

❤️ OH MY HEART ❤️

For those that don't remember Kosmo, he came to us with a severe medical condition. He had both an inguinal hernia AND perianal hernia. The Peri-anal was so bad, he had his re**um protruding out.

Thanks to our amazing followers, we managed to raise the $7000k needed for his reconstruction surgery. Unfortunately, the pressure from the repair caused his inguinal to protrude further so required a second surgery.

Dr Ahmed was incredible in taking care of Kosmo and the two bonded. To see him get this incredible new lease on life and to know he is the family member of our most trusted Vet is so so rewarding.

Meet Kosmo, the multi-talented dog who wears many hats here at the clinic! 🐾 From Guard Dog 🦴, Chief Cheese Taster 🧀, and Treat Fiend 🍖 to Cuddle Monster 💕, Therapy Dog 🐶, and Dog Model 📸, he does it all! But above all, Kosmo is best known as Dr. Ahmed's loyal and loving best friend! 🐾💙

Kosmo's journey wasn’t an easy one. He came into Dr. Ahmed's life through the rescue organization DARE, after being diagnosed with several medical conditions that required surgery and weeks of hospital care. But despite the rough start, it didn't take long for Dr. Ahmed to fall head over heels for this little guy, and from then on, they were inseparable! 🏥❤️

Kosmo’s got a bit of a soft spot for the ladies and has all the nurses wrapped around his little paws 🐾👩‍⚕️💅. He loves spending time at My Own Vet, especially with our wonderful groomer Cassandra, and is always ready to bring smiles and brighten up everyone’s day. 🌟

Say hello to Kosmo next time you see him – he's the furry heart and soul of the clinic! 🐕💖

⁉️ WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE ⁉️

Does this image ring a bell? Remind you of another skin and bone kelpie x we've saved on the front seat of a car?

As a rescue, we thought we had seen it all. The heartbreaking cases, the endless suffering, the animals left for dead. But then came Roto.

We knew this sweet Kelpie had a broken tail, and we thought we knew what we were dealing with. But no.

Turns out he has a HOOK lodged deep in the bone of his tail. A *hook*. *A f**king hook.*

This poor dog is nothing but skin and bone. His body is a shell, but it’s his spirit that’s broken the most. Shut down beyond belief—he’s given up. And who could blame him?

This is Splash 2.0. Another soul broken by the unimaginable cruelty of humans.

When is enough enough? How many more times do we have to witness this? How many more animals have to suffer in silence while we try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives? We thought we’d seen the worst, but we were wrong.

Roto deserves so much more than this. All of them do. And we won’t stop fighting for them, but damn, it's hard. It’s hard to keep going when you feel like you're drowning in the endless cycle of abuse and neglect. When will it end? When will enough finally be enough?

💔BONNIE NEEDS A FOSTER HOME. 💔

Bonnie is a gorgeous Border Collie x Maremma.

She is good with cats with evidence below! Bonnie unfortunately isn't a fan of other dogs and therefore needs to come into rescue as she isn't getting alone with the other dogs in the home.

Bonnie needs a quite home away from busy roads and lots of noise going past can over stimulate her.

👇👇CAPTION THIS MOMENT 👇👇

I....am one with the grass...... I am stealthy...like grass.... she can't see me ...because I am.....grass

4 more babies arrived to the vet from a local community. Sound up for the munchies

How could someone discard this baby girl???.

2 out of 6 puppies saved so far!!

Is Lilly rounding up or playing with her new foster kids 🤔 What do YOU think?

Midnight feeds please 🙏

Definitely older than 4 days thank goodness. The colume they are drinking plus their activity level indicate more like 7-8 days. Pups are in really good condition but covered in bite marks and wounds so we believe mum may have rejected them leading the owners to surrender to the clinic

QUICK PIT STOP at Bent Street Veterinary Surgery for these little rascals. We wanted to ensure they hadn't dropped their sugars too much while travelling from Gin Gin to Gold Coast as neonates are so fragile and can't go too long with out a feed! The lovely nurses helped our amazing Vollie Gareth feed these little puggles so they were nice and content. Its important to use the correct technique or else they can aspirate. We dont know genders yet but will be looking at sponsors to help the costs of bottle babies

DARE TEAM: " We should slow down a little or we will burn out " Also DARE TEAM: " Please welcome 6 x 4 day olds "

Only a handful but here is a reminder of some of our gorgeous DARE dogs that were adopted in 2024.

🩷🥺FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED FOR MIGALOO 🥺🩷 We asked "Nanny" to take a video of Migaloo because we are still dumbfounded. The lies made up about this dog are beyond cruel and quite frankly, are not of sound mind. FACTS: He was attacked by 3 other dogs at once.... TWICE. He sustained horrific injuries left Untreated for 6.5 days. We aren't even going to post the lies just yet as we are waiting for all the charges but I ask the public to use their common sense to answer this question: Remember this dog is in excruciating pain with Untreated wounds. He has only JUST received pain relief at the time this video was taken. Lord knows what treatment he sustained at their hands after the dog attack despite them admitting it was their dogs fault but HE was blammed for 1 persons injuries to separate the fight. Does this dog look like an aggressive dangerous dog to you? If you need a 50/50 hint ...we can't help you there! This boy is still a puppy and had the SH%%TEST first owners and now worse foster carers. So we are hoping and praying that someone out there is willing to open their hearts to this goofball and give him the home he deserves. We are fully prepared he may need rehabilitation now with other dogs thanks to the 2 dog pack attacks on him. We will guide you through this process with our behaviourist. He is still a puppy so he is cliche mouthy with excitement but knows to sit, great recall and highly highly affectionate as you can see. Our trainer is based in tarampa so looking for a Queensland home for this tub of goo. Please email [email protected]

D.A.R.E’s Mission and Vision

Domestic Animal Rescue & Education Inc (D.A.R.E) opened its doors as a registered charity on June 1st, 2020 – dedicated to saving the lives of Border Collies and other Australian domestic animals. We are proud to state that we are one of the very few animal rescue organisations that operate as a 100% no-kill. That means we will never euthanize an animal due to finance, behaviour, age, or medical ailments if a treatment is available.

Domestic Animal Rescue & Education is comprised of a registered nurse and her passionate incredible volunteers, who just like you, wanted to make a difference to the welfare of our furry friends. Here at D.A.R.E, we endeavor to be the pre-eminent animal welfare organisation that has a holistic approach to rescue and rehabilitation of the most vulnerable animals in our community – the abandoned, abused, elderly, sick, misunderstood and orphaned.

Specialising in the beautiful Border Collie breed, we help rehabilitate and place them in new homes specific to the breed idiosyncrasies. We have a multidisciplinary team made up of foster carers, trainers, chiropractors, veterinarians, physiotherapists, volunteers, and photographers who own, understand and all share our passion for the breed, therefore, giving them the best opportunity of a second chance.

Nothing is too hard for us. We will stop at nothing to save even 1 animal. We do up to 5000km a month in road trips to save animals from even the most rural areas. We foster our babies with tender loving care to ensure they are the best version of themselves before going to their furrever homes. They all come vaccinated, wormed, microchipped, flea, desexed, and loved. We rely on public donations to keep our operation going. We do not get assistance from the government so our Founder and volunteers pay a lot out of the kindness of their own hearts. All donations, volunteers, foster carers are welcome!
