🆘 URGENT 🆘

🐾 Foster Needed: A Quiet Haven for Mum and her Newborn Pups 🐾 MOUNT ISA

We are desperately searching for a foster hero to give a mum dog and her newborn pups (eight!) a safe and quiet place to stay. These tiny lives were born in the pound just last night, and this devoted mum is doing everything she can to protect them under incredibly stressful conditions.

She urgently needs a calm, peaceful environment where she can care for her babies away from the noise and chaos of the pound.

No experience is needed—we’ll provide full support and everything you need, food, and supplies etc. Ideally, there should be no other pets in the home, or a way to keep them separate.

Please, if you can help this little family, reach out now. Message us or call/text 0499198949.

The Troops Have Arrived !!

Meet the very special litter of eight pups who I call My Little Troopies. Sadly their Mum died before they reached two weeks of age but they are survivors as they had to hold onto life until they could be brought into Mount Isa from Boulia. Since then, I have had the pleasure of looking after them with the help of my husband who has to endure all manner of situations.

We loved cuddling them while they were being bottle-fed as I believe that pups can only thrive with lots of love. They are now just between 7 - 8 weeks old so the bottles have been replaced with a special feeding trough for multiple pups and isn’t that an experience… it reminds me of the sharks’ feeding frenzy as the food disappears in less than a minute. I’m afraid they are rather spoilt with their concoction of soaked bikkies mixed with a chicken and rice stew and topped with yummy pieces of roast chicken (four times a day) !!

Whilst we have had a few scares along the way (especially when Precious crashed and spent 2 days on a drip at the vet – thanks Gillian), they are all now healthy and chubby! It is so rewarding to hear their playful chirps and to watch their puppy antics as they frolic and squabble like all siblings. It is hilarious to watch all eight having a tug-a-war with the toy crocodile or wrestling across the floor.
So these beautiful little souls are now ready for adoption. All but one appear to be a cattle dog mix and there are 3 boys and 5 girls – each with their own personality. I am looking for special homes where the pups will be part of a loving family.
Ring Sue on 0456664255 if you have the right home with lots of love to share.

CINDY needs help!

Cindi is currently at the vet and will need a back leg amputation. We’re seeking a foster or forever home where she can feel comfortable, undergo her surgery, and recover with love and care.

She is a crazy happy girl with a zest for life and we believe she is around 9 months old.

Is there anyone that can help Cindy? PHC can provide food, bedding etc and all veterinary costs are covered by us. Please message our page or call/text 0499198949.

Lady and Toffee Still Looking For a Carer...

This bonded pair are still looking for a carer, They have been moved to Furry Friends Pet Stays as their owner is about to leave Mount Isa. Unfortunately this can only be a temporary measure as we are fast approaching the Christmas holiday period and the kennels are fully booked. If you have a safe yard and a big heart, give this boy and girl a chance. They ;love people and especially kids since they have been with a family with multiple children.

For more information ring Sue on 0456664255

This little fellow was found in Sunset yesterday.

He has been advertised on our Lost and Found but no one has come forward to claim him. PHC now has him in care rather than allowing him to be taken to the pound. However, our carer has to go away tomorrow for medical treatment so we urgently need a new carer for him. He is quite a frightened little man and it seems that he is very wary of people so we will need to build his trust.

He has no microchip so we are unable to contact his owner. Can someone help out this boy who is most likely a Jack Russell. If so, ring Sue on 0456664255

🏡🐾 Five Fabulous Mutt-keteers Looking for Forever Homes! 🐾🏡

Meet the latest dynamic litter of five! Two lovely ladies and three charming gents, all about to hit their 11-week milestone. Their breed? A delightful mystery cocktail - perhaps some Bull Arab, Staffy and a little “who-knows-what” magic.

These pups are professional mischief-makers, cuddle connoisseurs, chewers -in-training (shoes beware!)

They’re full of love, and a knack for making life infinitely better. Whether you’re looking for a running buddy, a Netflix snuggler, or just a new best friend, one of these cuties is perfect for you!

Please send us a message or call/text 0499198949.

UPDATE: we have a few people lined up to meet Freya - fingers crossed 🤞

‼️ URGENT ‼️

Freya, a nine-month-old with a sweet temperament and boundless energy, urgently needs a foster or forever home BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. Her current owners are planning to surrender her to the pound, so we’re hoping to find her a foster or forever home before then.

Freya would thrive in a home with another playful dog to match her energy, but she’d also do well as an only dog with plenty of attention. She can occasionally be a bit rough because she’s eager to play, and with a little extra training, she’ll reach her full potential as a loving companion.

If you’re interested in meeting Freya or giving her a safe home, please message us or call/text 0499198949.

Toffee and Lady URGENTLY Need A Foster Carer...

These two beautiful dogs were adopted from PHC four years ago and have proved themselves to be exceptional family dogs. They are especially great with children and are both gentle and playful. The pair are super friendly with all people so they are wonderful companions.

Sadly, their family is leaving Mount Isa and they are unable to take the dogs with them so Toffee and Lady will need a place to stay in the next five days. The two dogs are from different litters but were adopted around the same time so they have become a bonded pair who adore each other. For this reason, we do not want to separate them especially at a time when they are going to be fretting for their missing family.

We hope there is someone out there who can look after the pair until we can find a permanent home. As always, PHC will pick up any costs for food etc. Both dogs are healthy and fully vaccinated. Ring Sue on 0456664255 if you can help these dogs.

🌞 Come Meet Sunny - Our Resilient Ray of Sunshine TOMORROW (Saturday) 🌞

We’re all feeling a little deflated, as Sunny urgently needs a foster home to continue his journey to recovery, and we’re still waiting for the right family to come along.

This sweet, boy was brought to the vet after being hit by a car, but despite waiting, no one came forward to claim him. Sunny’s injuries were severe; he lost a back leg and recently underwent hip surgery, which has now healed. He’s now ready to leave the clinic and start a new chapter in a loving home where he can move freely and rehabilitate in comfort.

Sunny absolutely adores people and gets along well with other dogs, especially those who are gentle and can respect his limitations being a three legged dog. While he’s low-maintenance when it comes to exercise—a few minutes of movement is enough to tire him out—he’ll need a home where he can get up and move around at his own pace.

Sunny has truly captured the hearts of the vet staff, who generously funded his treatment, knowing he deserves a second chance. He may have been overlooked by others, but we know how wanted and special he really is.

If you’re unsure about fostering Sunny and have questions, or if you’d just like to meet him in person, come by the Mount Isa Vet Surgery on Ryan Road tomorrow (Saturday 9th) at 10am. You’ll get to see for yourself the amazing spirit of this beautiful boy!

📞 Please reach out at 0499 198 949 if you can offer Sunny a foster home or want to know more. He’s ready to find a place where he’s truly wanted!

🐾 Meet Rusty – Your New Best Friend Awaits! 🐾

Rusty recently found himself at the vet after a trip via the pound, and now he’s got the all-clear to find a loving home! Just look at those eyes… he wants out and into the arms of a family who’ll give him plenty of attention and love.

At around seven weeks old, this little ginger boy is playful, curious, and ready to bring loads of joy to his new home. He’s seeking either a forever family or a temporary foster home where he can thrive and show off his sweet personality.

📞 If you’re interested in opening your heart to Rusty – whether for a lifetime or just a while – please contact us ASAP via messenger or on 0421 944 539.

🛑 We Are at CAT-apacity! Cat and Kitten Intakes Closed 🛑

Kitten season is here, and our rescue is at full capacity. We’re receiving daily calls, and all foster carers are currently full.

What to Do (and Not Do) if You Find Kittens

During kitten season, you may come across unattended kittens or a single kitten that appears abandoned. Want to help? Before taking action, WAIT…

Mumma might just be out searching for food. It’s not unusual for her to be gone several hours, or she may be in the process of relocating her litter, especially if you’ve found one kitten alone.

Avoid putting food nearby, as she usually hides her kittens far from food sources to avoid attracting other animals or predators.

If the kittens are safe, dry, and quiet, and they appear fed, they’re likely okay. If Mumma is shy, scared, or cautious, she probably won’t return until there are no humans around. Healthy kittens can go several hours without food as long as they stay warm.

How You Can Help:
• Promote Cat Adoption: Encourage friends, family, and social networks to adopt. Every adoption frees up space for another cat in need.
• Become a Foster Carer: Contact us if you’d like to help by fostering cats or kittens.
• Desex Your Cats: Help prevent unwanted litters and reduce overpopulation.

Surrogate Mum or Bottle Feeder Needed for Newborn Kitten

We’re urgently seeking a surrogate mother cat to care for a 3-day-old kitten.

Alternatively, if anyone experienced in bottle-feeding newborns can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact us at 0421 944 539 if you can assist. Thank you so much! 🙏

AS MOUNT ISA HEATS UP, ENSURE YOUR PETS ARE PROTECTED ☀️ ☀️

Please help spread awareness about keeping pets safe in the summer heat.

Walking your dog:
Walking dogs on hot pavements can lead to severe burns on their paws. Try the barefoot test: if it’s too hot for your own feet, it’s definitely too hot for your dog. Walk dogs early in the morning or late in the evening, and always make sure they have access to fresh, cool water daily. If you see someone walking a dog in the heat of the day, don’t be afraid to speak up and educate them about the risks—they might not appreciate it, but it could save a life.

⚠️ Special Attention for Black Dogs ⚠️
Black dogs are particularly vulnerable as they attract and retain heat, putting them at greater risk of overheating. Ensure they have plenty of shade and shelter to avoid potential organ damage or worse.

Garden Hoses: A Hidden Hazard
Did you know water sitting in a hose exposed to direct sunlight can reach extremely high temperatures. This can cause burns to children and animals if sprayed without first letting it cool. Please remember to let the water run for a while before spraying.

Extra Care for Animals in Sweltering Heat
• Provide SHADE and WATER (in tip-proof containers) for all pets.
• Use heatproof matting and ensure water is available if animals are in the back of utes.
• Avoid walking pets on hot concrete or asphalt—these surfaces get dangerously hot. Test it with your own bare feet if you’re unsure.
• Never leave pets in unattended cars—temperatures can spike within minutes, putting animals in immediate danger.

Let’s all remember: if it’s too hot for us, it’s too hot for them! Please think twice and make smart choices to keep our pets safe in the heat.

☀️🔥HOT HOT☀️🔥

👉Over the next 10 days the Mount Isa forecast suggests the average daytime maximum temperature will be around 40°C.😲

A low-intensity heatwave will continue around the North West.

It is going to be extremely hot in Mount Isa over the next week.👇

👉Although the North West usually expects high temperatures, authorities are asking you to take precautions.

Remember to slip on a shirt 👕👉slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat 👒, seek shade ⛱️, and slide on a pair of sunglasses 🕶️ - and drink plenty of water! 💦
