Happy Days Animal Transport

14/06/2023

It is with deep sadness and disappointment that I announce the closure of Happy Days Animal Transport, my dedicated rescue animal transport service. I am immensely grateful for the support I was shown by a handful of people, they know who they are. Unfortunately the bookings did not come so I am unable to continue. Once I am back on my feet it will be fostering only for me from here on in.
While I am not operating anymore, I encourage you all to continue advocating for the welfare of animals and supporting reputable organisations in this field.
Thank you for being a part of this short but meaningful journey and for your contributions to making a difference in the lives of countless animals.

With sadness,
Cassie

Please share MORAYFIELD 🙏

Please keep looking for this baby and sharing her posts – It is now over a week since this little girl took off.

Community help is the only hope we have right now.

This baby is a from a puppy mill environment – she is dog friendly but terrified of humans – she is running wildly and at risk of hurting herself – we need to track her so we can catch her as soon as we can.

TIMELINE SO FAR

We have had no confirmed sighting since yesterday morning (Tuesday) at 6.30am on Conifer Road heading to Trail Road which is a big worry.

She may have been at Excelsior Park on Tuesday ( near Williamson Road ) – there is a Creek there so it is possible it was her.

On Monday she was at various properties on Homestead Road - she seemed to have spent the day on Homestead Road / J Dobson Road and Nairn Road

Over the weekend she was at Bristlebird Crt / Peterson Road / Walkers Road and various spots in that area.

She will be hungry and thirsty and looking for a quiet place to hide – she may be hiding on your property – in a shed, in bushes or even under your house.

She may head to areas / homes where there are other dogs – we just don’t know – but please be aware of unusual barking / behaviour from your own dogs may indicate she is around.

We have a plan to catch her bit need to establish a definite area she is settled in first – this is where sightings are so Important.

IF YOU SEE HER – Please watch her from a distance – do not shout or chase her – she will run – call Annette or Connie asap

IF SHE IS ON YOUR PROPERTY – if you can quietly and safely secure her by closing doors / gates etc please do so. Otherwise please pop down some food and water to make your space welcoming and call Connie or Annette asap.

Morayfield – you have been awesome so far – please keep helping us.

Please share this post and make everyone you can in that area aware of her.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Sometimes I withold sharing images of some of the rescue animals I carry.
It could be that they are not in the best condition, or they are so scared you don't want to stress them out further by paying them any attention, or like a recent run, it could be because of seizure situations and trying to protect the new location of the animal in question.

But! I can share a photo of this awkwardly cute Cattle x Jack Russell....Cattle dog body grafted onto JR legs 🤭 And such a lovely well behaved dog too!

Adventure cat seeking buddies for more adventures...

Meet Boris, the adventure cat!! 🥾

Boris is an adventure cat, always ready to explore new environments on his harness with his human by his side. He loves an active lifestyle and long walks on the beach (or rolling on grass). 🏃‍♀️

Boris is a chatterbox who shows his enthusiasm through chirps, meows, and yowls. He also loves to climb, play, and learn new tricks. He requires at least 2 hours of intentional enrichment and stimulation through walks and other play based activities a day to keep him happy and healthy

This cat loves everyone so you'll be sure to stop and say hello to other cat friendly dogs on a walk. He would love another furry friend to play with at home for moments when his human is occupied.

Boris is longing for a home that can keep up with his active personality. So, if you lead an active lifestyle, are ready for adventures, and can provide lots of stimulation, then he would love to meet you 🤩

A one person house may not be perfect for Boris because he benefits from pretty consistent attention. There are a few hours a day he wants to have a snooze (and loves the bathtub or my pot plants for that) but when he wakes up he’s ready for play or a walk so can be hard if working 💤.

He’s not a lap cat but he loves to rub himself against people to show his affection. He gets disgruntled when his stimulation routine is disrupted but he’s not super food motivated so doesn’t really mind if we are a little late for feeding time. 🍔

His leash training is very good. He seems to understand that slight tension on his lead means that it’s a no-go area. He also gives off very easy to read cues e.g. his ears go back if he doesn’t like the dog approaching him. When he’s finished his walk he’ll go between the person’s legs that is walking him and then climb himself in the carrier once opened for him. 🦮

He doesn’t like driving in the car and his yowls are pretty loud (typical bengal) but the only other time we have heard that really loud yowl was when he hadn’t had enough mental and physical enrichment. 📣

He will need someone who knows he needs and who is willing to give him a tonne of consistent attention.

I was lucky enough to transport this gorgeous, gentle old man and he is very deserving of any help ❤️

Old Man Bernard, or Bernie as his foster carer calls him, arrived at the pound skinny, hairless with ringworm, presumed blind in one eye and with a very itchy ear infection.

The pound rangers did an amazing job curing Bernie of his ringworm and helping him to become a healthy 5kg ginger stud, but due to a number of different eye conditions, he experiences pain and irritation on a daily basis and is nearly completely blind in his right eye.

We’re hoping that with your help through donating, sharing his story and keeping Bernie in your thoughts, we can help Bernie live a life free of pain.

Bernie has had a number of vet visits and has been diagnosed with the following conditions:

* synechia in the right eye (where the iris adheres to the cornea, often caused by trauma - this is causing his blindness)

* bilateral entropian (when your eyelids turn in on the eyeball causing the eyelashes to sit against his eye - think sandpaper on your eyes everyday)

* eyes too big for his eyelids which doesn’t help with the entropion

* a blocked tear duct in his left eye causing constant discharge

If that isn’t enough, Bernie also has cryptorchidism - he has only one descended testicle which means he will have to undergo both a spay and a neuter to rid him of his trouble-nuggets. He also has a level of deafness due to ear infections and ‘cauliflower’ ear in his left ear.

As a not-for-profit organisation fully run by dedicated volunteers in their spare time, the already discounted vet bill (thank you to our partner vets) for Bernie’s eye surgery and cryptorchordism is estimated to cost up to $1400.

With adoption fees kept to an absolute minimum so that we can save more dogs and cats who find themselves without a home, A Mini Rescue needs your financial help to be able to improve Bernie’s quality of daily life and maybe, we might be able to change his name to Young Boy Bernie.

This will be a long one, but a few shout outs needed from this last Brisbane- Mt Isa trip.
It's funny how things seem to happen right when you need it the most 💜

With the tick borne disease Canine ehrlichiosis rearing it's ugly head in parts of Nth Qld, I popped in to Nutrien Ag Solutions - Blackall on the way up to grab some tick collars for extra protection.
The staff there were so friendly, but 💐Georgia💐 went above and beyond, calling ahead to make sure the roads were open as she heard there had been a closure the day prior.
What a dead set legend!

Then my air con had 'a moment' 😣.
Can't pick up the animals without it!!
Enter Longreach Auto Electrics!!
Not only did they diagnose the issue and get it working again 🥶🥶🥶, but also showed me what to do if it happened again. It did happen, a few more times too, but the animals stayed comfortable thanks to you!

To Ranger Lauren and her team at Mt Isa Animal Management Facility. Your gift of appreciation to me was unexpected and such a surprise. Sorry for cussing when you gave it to me 🤦‍♀️.
I appreciate how much you invest in the animals in your care, it's truly heart-warming to see how each of them love you so.
P.s, The salted caramel chocolate macadamias don't stand a chance!!

Last but not least, Michelle and her staff at The Brolga Café in Blackall are so welcoming. Not only was my coffee free when they learned of what I do, but the delicious toasties are so welcomed in Deepfried Hotbox territory. I now plan my trip up so that I'm going past when they are open 😅.
See you next time!

Some stunning skies on the last trip to Mt Isa.

Apart from playing a part in getting these animals onto happier days, the changing scenery of this beautiful country we live on is my 'bonus' 🤑

My Charlie girl - keeping an eye on who is getting loaded up 🧐

Happy Days Animal Transport had the honour of transporting this majestic beast, Duke, for Shamroq - Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute Rescue of Qld Inc.
Duke was my first Akita, and he was an absolute pleasure to have on board. Super well behaved all the way from Mt Isa, sat on command and is the first dog I've had that kindly let me know when he needed to stop for a bathroom break. Such a good boy!!!

07/01/2023

Here are some of the cats and kittens that Soquilichi Rescue Ranch took on from Mt Isa. Yes, I said 40!! A huge haul, a great effort and expense to save so many in one hit 👏 Well done!!!
There was some really beautiful looking animals amongst the pack too, here is just a few 🤩

03/01/2023

A big day yesterday saving lots of beautiful animals and meeting lots of beautiful carers.
Great work to the army at A Mini Rescue. You did it yet again 🙌

A massive thank you to Paws Hoofs and Claws for giving me the opportunity to deliver my first lot of puppies to their new OWNERS (instead of to foster carers, which is still good but, you know.)
It was wonderful 🥰
Congratulations on your new additions everyone, thanks for choosing a rescue pup alllll the way from Mt Isa. And what little beauties they are 😍

A kind man named Dion has donated $100 "for the puppy dogs".

Onya Dion, thank you, Sir 🙏
