Important Update for Pearcedale Pawdock

After much consideration, we’ve made the decision to lock the gate at Pearcedale Pawdock for now. It’s been a truly wonderful experience to share this space with our community—a safe haven for dogs to have fun, and for owners with reactive dogs to exercise them securely. We believe we’ve helped fill a much-needed gap in the area, and it’s been incredibly rewarding.

We’ve always aimed to give back where we can, offering free visits to rescues and those in need, and we are so grateful to everyone who supported and cared for our space.

Right now, our focus needs to shift to family as we navigate some significant health challenges, including Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and my gran’s ongoing recovery after breaking her leg and hip.

We want to thank everyone who visited, shared photos, and respected our space—it’s meant the world to us.

Stay tuned for updates! We’ll share details soon about a new alternative space nearby that you’ll be able to book once it opens.

We really need your help. Our vet bill is through the roof, and our funds are nearly depleted.

I know charities are always asking for help.

I know we're all struggling to make ends meet.

Honestly, I wouldn't ask if we had any other way.

Please help if you can. Please share.

We really need your help.

FOSTER CARERS NEEDED.

At the moment there are a group of us doing a rescue together. AAPS in Keysborough well need foster families to care for some Spitz like doggies.

Some a babies around 7 weeks, some are young adults, some a little older and mixed breed. All seems friendly but a bit shy.

If you live in an area where you can drive to AAPS - because that is where their vet work and check ups will be - and feel you have space, good fencing, experience with dogs, and the right kind of home environment - please go to www.aaps.org.au or give them a call and ask about being a foster carer on 1300 501 420.

It is a privilege to work with people sometimes and this is one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love Kae x

Talking to some Rescuers yesterday who have been around the block a few times - and we view this kind of information with affirmation.

That large organizations are not to be trusted with your money.

"People are noticing they aren't doing their jobs but they are happy to take corporate wages for the pleasure of rescue cleaning up after them......."

It is a fact. People are leaving more bequests/money to Rescue Groups. Some Rescues here in Melbourne alone are running million dollar businesses. And THEIR focus is on the animals.

While RWL is very small fry in a very big pond - there are grass roots Rescuers doing far more with far less - and it is showing.

We were once an annoyance to shelters/pounds and Government, we are now quite the army of overworked women who are doing it for themselves. And are leading the way.

When a friend sent me this post this morning it was like a gut punch. This is how we are feeling right now. A sinking ship in an ocean of dogs that need help. Please have some understanding for our situation right now. We cannot take on any more dogs or help with any more vet bills. I hope things improve. Please support our fundraisers when you can. Or donate if possible.

Every time rescue is asked to take an owner surrender- we have to somehow make room on our little raft for that dog. When an owner says stuff like “I don’t have time to give them the best life” or “I have to move” or “they have too much anxiety” it really falls flat because that means if we bring them on the raft, another dog out there in the freezing water gets to die.

Every day in rescue we adjudicate life and death by gate keeping who can get on the boat.

Rescues and shelters are the tiny rescue boats.

The ship is our community at large.

The iceberg is comprised of puppy mills, careless owners, backyard breeders, and a$$hats who won’t spay/neuter.
