Blooms the Chemist New Norfolk recently celebrated their 1st anniversary. 🎂

As part of this enormous celebration, the team raised funds for us at Small Paws Animal Rescue by holding a raffle and a bake sale.

They raised a whopping $1160.00 👏👏👏

Yesterday we popped in with guest puppies Lola and Lenny to receive this incredible donation.

Locals helping locals is what true community spirit is all about and we are so very grateful and humbled to be included in such an initiative, to be highly regarded in the local community and to be able to visit the team with some of our rescue animals.

Thank you so very much Josephine and the entire team for making this possible. 💙💜🩵

We have a load of grass hay arriving tomorrow which has been purchased using this donation.

Thank you so very much to everyone who expressed interest in adopting Lenny or Lola.

As always, we were overwhelmed with the response from those willing to open their hearts and homes to one of these pups.

Its always difficult to reply to everyone individually and we do apologise for this.

We do wish to advise that Lenny and Lola have now secured a wonderful home each but will not leave here until they are at least 10 weeks of age.

The homes we have selected as best suiting their needs are loving, kind and caring. Both have other animals including dogs for canine companionship and cats which both pups love.
We are absolutely thrilled for the future of both Lenny and Lola.

Thank you everyone.
Expressions are now closed.

We have some very special news to share with you.

Koa has made exceptional progress and continues to do so. 🤩

The most wonderful news however, is that he has been adopted by an incredibly loving family and has settled in perfectly.
Koa’s new home includes a female large breed dog who is almost 2.
They have quickly formed a friendship as best buddies and are inseparable.
Having two adults, two teenagers and one tween in the household also, Koa is guaranteed all the love and attention he could ever wish for. 💜💙

We are so thrilled for this beautiful, gentle boy.

Go well dear Koa❤️

UPDATE: ADOPTED

There is still time to express interest in our two beautiful American bulldog pups.

Please read the info below and contact us. 💙🩷

We excitedly call for expressions of interest for American Bulldog pups Lola and Lenny 💜

Please note the pups are 6 weeks old and will not leave us until they are at least 10 weeks old. This is our policy.

These pups are going to be large dogs, therefore one of our priorities will be finding suitable homes that understand the needs of large breed dogs and their ongoing needs.

So what home environment are we seeking for Lenny and Lola?

They need :

💚 a home that understands large breed dogs
🩷 another canine companion in the household or someone who would be looking to add another dog in the future
💙 someone who is committed to their ongoing health needs including nutritional needs of large breed dogs to ensure appropriate growth and development
💛 a loving, caring family environment where they can thrive
💜 a family committed to ongoing training of a large breed dog
🧡 to be included in all family activities and adventures
🩵 someone who is home a lot or some of the time

If you have met the pups and or believe you would be a highly suitable home for one of them, we invite you to express interest now.

Please write to us via messenger or email and let us know about the home environment you could provide for one of the pups. The inclusion of photos is always welcome.
Please also mention all family members in the household and ages, other animals in the house, and what vet clinic you currently use.

Lenny and Lola are being raised around many other dogs both large and small, raised with young children, as well as cats. They are inside dogs.

We look forward to finding these two adorable bullfrogs the very best of homes, and we look forward to receiving your expressions of interest.

These two pups will not be adopted out together.
Sibling syndrome is a real thing!

On World Animal Day we celebrate and recognise all animals. 
We love and adore all animals and are thankful we can give sanctuary to those in desperate need. 💜

We thank our loyal supporters who help us to do the work we do.
We think about those animals we can’t always save or provide sanctuary to, and this pains us.
We think about those animals who are entrapped in hardship on farms, factories, laborities or in the streets.

We thank everyone who loves an animal and cares for them as part of their family. 💜

Animals are sentient beings and deserve love, companionship and compassion.

To all animals today, we celebrate you! 💚

Find us today at Pet Stock Derwent Park from 10.30am - 2pm 💜💚

Now to two of the cutest little bullfrogs around 🐶
🐸

We will be calling for expressions of interest for Lenny and Lola within the next few days.
We will outline the home environment we are seeking for them and a list of criteria to meet.

If you think you could possibly be interested in providing a safe, loving home for one of these pups, why not swing by Pet Stock Derwent Park between 10.30am and 2pm to meet the pups and help firm up your decision. 🐶🐶

Please note the pups are currently 6 weeks old and will not be leaving us at HQ before they are 10 weeks old.

See you tomorrow.

ANOTHER bunny from THAT pet shop!

This infuriates me that they breed excessively for the ‘cute’ factor and maximum profit! $$$

People also purchase cages that are small and inadequate at over elevated prices and are encouraged to buy all the accessories.

This dear little girl will be with us at Pet Stock tomorrow.

Here are some updated pics of our ‘box bunnies’

Left in a sealed cardboard box on the side of the road to suffer and starve, thankfully these beautiful bunnies were saved and are now safe.

Lovingly cared for by Julie and Dan, Julie says…

The bunnies have had a lovely time today exploring further afield in a puppy run. They are eating a wide variety of foods now, although still mainly grass and hay. They seem very bonded to each other, particularly the more nervous one.

It’s wonderful news that these bunnies are thriving given their very rough recent journey.
