All these animals are placed into wonderful

foster care until they are responsibly re-homed into permanent, loving families. We also take in a large number of elderly and special needs pets each year who remain with us a 4 Paws Permanent Residents, ensuring they receive the very best of care.

4 Paws Animal Rescue runs successfully because of our dedicated team of sponsors, volunteers, supporters and members. Most of all, 4 Paws Animal Rescue cannot survive without our foster families, these families are ready to take the animals home as they arrive into our care, sharing their lives, loving them unconditionally,training,nursing and rehabilitating them when needed, thus preparing them for adoption.

Some great advice from our friends at Nicklin Way Vet when training your cat to use a cat carrier.

Tips for your Tuesday 👍

How to train your cat to use a carrier. 🐈

First step is to always make each experience a positive one, cats will remember if they get stressed and then try to avoid the carrier, so take things slow and make it fun.

If you can keep the carrier out in the open as your cat will get used to seeing it. If you have limited space, try having it in a room at least once a week with the door open (or taken off) to let your cat get used to the carrier being around with no negative experience attached.

Place a blanket or bedding that already has your cats smell on it in the carrier and leave the door of the carrier open (or the top taken off if that’s easier). Make sure to prop open the door and place something in front of it so the door doesn’t swing shut or close on its own and scare your cat.

Let your cat brush up against the carrier and if you see them near it give them a treat or lots of pats. If your cat does not seem interested in going near the carrier, try spraying a little bit of catnip on the carrier or placing a couple of your cat’s favourite treats in the back of the carrier to encourage them.

Once you notice your cat going in and out of the carrier on their own, place them in the carrier and close the door. Give them lots of treats through the front door and pick up the carrier and move it to another room. Then let your cat out and give them another treat. Repeat this step a number of times.

Soon enough your cat will be comfortable and ready to trial car rides. 🥰

Ollie turned 14 this week 🎉🎁 and doesn’t he look incredible! Gorgeous Ollie has diabetes and is one of our permanent foster animals. He’s one very lucky boy to have found an absolutely devoted foster carer who just adores him.

When he was first diagnosed, Ollie was on twice daily, time sensitive, insulin injections. However, he’s now in remission and his diabetes is successfully managed through a strict prescription diet and regular vet checks. Like all permanent fosters, 4Paws will pay for his vet care for the rest of his life.

4Paws is a 100% volunteer run, animal rescue organisation. We are eternally grateful to our wonderful foster carers and simply couldn’t help as many animals as we do without their support.

Rescues are inundated with requests for support and we always need more foster carers, particularly for our cats. If you live on the Sunshine Coast and would like to help out as a foster carer, we’d very much like to hear from you.

🐾🐾LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME 🐾🐾

Ruby is an absolutely delightful female Poodle X. She is approximately 4 years old.
Ruby is friendly with people and other dogs but untested with cats.

She is a very active, alert, intelligent girl and will require boundaries to be set in her new home as she can be very determined.

Ruby sleeps through the night, is toilet trained and travels well in the car.

She requires daily walks and is well behaved on leash.

Ruby is best suited to a home with a stimulating environment, where someone is around most of time. A family with older children would be ideal for her.

Dexter (cream) and Lilly (black and cream), 12 year old Lhasa Apsos, are a bonded pair who are still looking for a permanent foster home.
They are quiet and affectionate and cherish their alone time in their beds. They are human and other dog friendly.
The pair are content to wander indoors/outdoors during the day and retreat to their beds for rest when needed.
At night, they are penned and enjoy this situation so much that they have made it their day and night resting place.
Both dogs are strong-willed, requiring an experienced dog handler or couple. A child-free home or one with infrequent visits from children under 10 is a must.

Given their age, Dexter and Lilly will remain as 4 Paws Permanent Residents. This means that 4 Paws Animal Rescue will cover the costs of prescribed medication and vet care costs at our vets at Nicklin Way Veterinary Surgery.

If you live on the Sunshine Coast and can provide Dexter and Lily with a permanent foster home, please click on the link below and complete an application online.
Please note -
* Carers must be able to transport Dexter and Lily to Nicklin Way Vet at Warana
* We are only able to contact shortlisted applicants due to the overwhelming demand for our help. Thanks for your understanding.

*** STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOME***
Holly and Lucy are two adorable poodle sisters who have arrived at 4 Paws through unfortunate circumstances Their owners have had this beautiful duo since they were puppies but unfortunately, they could no longer care for them and had to surrender them. Their whole world and the only home they knew has been turned upside down.

They love human companionship, adore cuddle time or just sitting quietly beside you while you are relaxing. They are very affectionate and loving. Their foster carer says the girls are very sensitive and eager to please, which aligns with how intelligent they are.

Holly and Lucy walk well on the lead, are toilet trained and know how to use the doggy door. These two sweethearts have very good manners and are very playful and young at heart. They travel well in the car, are sociable with other dogs and don’t bark at other dogs when you walk them.

Holly and Lucy sleep all through the night in their beds beside you or if allowed, on your bed . Once they go out to the toilet before bed they sleep all through the night.

Holly and Lucy have their regular meals and the carer has got them into a routine. They were a little chubby when arriving in care but are looking a lot trimmer now and are a very fit little pair.

Dear little Holly and Lucy need a home filled with love and lots of cuddles. Mental stimulation as well as physical exercise are important too. They are looking for their own forever home, somewhere they can feel safe and secure.

If Holly and Lucy's story has touched your heart, please complete an application online. They are waiting for you!

As the cool weather sets in, we ask you to spare a thought for the animals who have been let down by humans and don't have a warm bed to sleep in.

**WOO HOO! THESE GIRLS HAVE FOUND THEIR FOREVER HOME** 🐾🐾Looking For Their ‘Forever’ Home🐾😊 Sasha and Misty are 3 year old Wire Haired Jack Russell Terriers who are looking for a new home. They are a bonded pair so must remain together. Although they are sisters there is certainly no sibling rivalry here. They share food, beds and are happiest when they are lying together with their special human. Misty is a bit more outgoing than Sasha- she is always first in for a pat and her little tail wags from the moment she gets up in the morning to when she hops into bed at night. Sasha is a little more reserved and will wait patiently for her turn while her sister steals the limelight. She is no shrinking violet though and is the first to explore new surroundings and to tell her carers when there is someone at the door. These 2 little darlings have delighted their carers from the moment they picked them up. They are such even tempered, friendly little dogs – happy to do whatever is going on at the time, whether it be ‘working’ in the garden, going for a drive or having an afternoon nap. These little girls will need to undergo some training ( although they are very quick learners and are eager to please) and their diet will need to be closely monitored as both are quite overweight. Please see comments for more pics. Their perfect owners will: *be home most of the time * have no young children either living in or regularly visiting the residence *treat them as part of the family and include them in activities * have no cats If you would like a couple of wonderful companions please click on the link below to complete an adoption application. *Sunshine Coast applicants preferred *Only successful shortlisted applicants will be contacted. https://www.4pawsanimalrescue.org.au/adopt-a-dog
