I can't save the world but I can save a dog & change it's world forever. Please consider becoming a foster carer for your local animal rescue/pound. Hi!

My name is Ellora, I have fostered dogs for around 7 years in total. I am currently on hold until my house is built but I am still active in the rescue world and assist Forever Friends Animal Rescue as a Foster Dog Intake Coordinator. Fostering helps rescues and shelter groups reduce the numbers held in pounds which would otherwise would be put down. People associate rescue dogs with problems but

often it is the last owner who did not understand the dog or how to provide basic training or socialisation. We all foster with the intention of finding a permanent forever home but even temporary or respite care makes a huge difference. Carers help provide basic training and socialising skills when we welcome the dog into our homes. We learn their personalities and behaviours which is vital to help match a forever family. I have learnt a lot people treat animals as if they're possessions when they get bored with it, the rescue groups are trying to reduce the kill rate but may not have enough fosters to take on any more animals. Please consider being a foster parent, you get to choose how long you do it for, whether it be short term or long term, all you have to do is provide some spare space in your home to save a life. Please inbox me if you would like any help finding a local rescue group :).

Victoria friends - if you’re NOT going away for the holiday period and think you could help out fostering a dog or cat in the meantime, Forever Friends Animal Rescue is in desperate need of short term and long term carers.

We have volunteers across Victoria but predominantly in surrounding suburbs of Melbourne & Geelong. No matter where you are, if you’re at all interested, please message me asap! We are over capacity and desperately trying to place animals. There are a fair few dogs that need either child or pet free homes as well homes with existing pets. We cover the vet bills, resources and will assist in transport of the animal to you where possible

If you know anyone, please tag in this post.

Say no to rawhide this Xmas 💜

Not one single enquiry has been received since DJ has been in FFARs care 🥺 please share. He is located in Caulfield but we rehome across Victoria after successful meet & greets 🙂

🎄🐶 IT’S THE DELIGHTFUL DJ! 🐶🎄

To kick off our 12 Dogs of Christmas, we’re introducing you to DJ 😁 Can you believe this sweet senior gentleman has not had a SINGLE application yet? 😣 Neither can we, look at that face! 🥺

DJ found himself in rescue after his owner passed away, and was left alone for months with people just stopping by to feed him 😢 He’s the sweetest old soul and loves human affection 🥰 He's currently in a share house with lots of beds and people to cuddle up to - so families are welcome to take him home 🤩

If you’re ready to fill a DJ-shaped hole in your couch 💖, click the link to his bio and reach out today!

🙏 just $5 is tomorrows coffee but makes a tremendous difference to this rescue. Please consider even $2, adds up eventually!

Dear Loyal Followers, I’m completely heart broken. Tears rolling down my face. Exhausted doesn’t do how I’m feeling. Mentally and physically broken…

Today the kill lists have grown. I can’t bare to look. Heartbroken. It’s rescue I know. No matter how many we take there are still more. Much more.

Their eyes glare into our souls. I look in their eyes and can’t do it. For some of us it is just too hard to comprehend, and we compartmentalise it all. Tuck it safely away in the back corner of our hearts and mind. Until one day it all comes tumbling out. Well today is that day for me. Ugly, snotty crying. Tears falling continuously. The rage inside building.

I need to share this with you. I’m writing this to let you know how hard things are. Staying up late to make just one more phone call, to share just one more post, to reach out to just one more person, sending just one more email, all in the desperate hope that we can put a green tick against just one more…………

But alas, all to no avail and yet another red cross appears. He has a name. His name is Billy. I have left you down Billy… Today I am broken. Our entire team is exhausted.

We are lost and quite honestly need your help. I’m not sure to turn. Rescue is hard they say. Multiply that by a million and you might come close.

We are $15,000 behind in vet bills and absolutely have no idea on how to raise those funds other to come to you with our hearts open and plead for your assistance. Pretty please… can you help?

To put some light on our faces. To turn those frowns into some happiness. Please?

Just $5 from each and every one of you would be amazing. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will help us so much.

Perhaps to get back on our feet. I hope x.

If you could please write the word DONE after you have donated and please please share far and wide.

A special plea to all our supporters, adopters and all animal lovers!

You do not need any specific qualifications to became a foster carer and you do not need to live in a particular type of home. We can match a needy animal with your home, and you’ll be saving a life!

Please find the foster carer application form in comments. Send us a message if you have any questions!

Update on the new addition - it’s a hit 😂

It’s confirmed I am going to hell after this 😂 just couldn’t resist *disclaimer - she did receive cooked chicken after this in an actual bowl 😋😂*

I can never seem to catch her gremlin noises when she’s slightly inconvenienced while she’s sleeping. This is as close as it gets!

From yesterday she was so scared to be in the backyard and would be right by my side now her confidence and sassiness is shining through pretty quickly :P

Puppy sitting this cutie is always my favourite

Have you ever seen such a chill dog? I don’t think I’ve ever fostered a dog this relaxed 😂

Drinking from the bowl is too mainstream especially when you went to all the trouble to chewing off the tap 🙄 #luckyyourecute #fosterdog #charlie #redheeler #thirsty #dogsofinstagram #pets3280

Reunited with Parker last week😍 got so many cuddles I almost fell over

Happy Easter from this little ginger bunny 🥕

Can’t quite find his feet yet 😂 just throws himself and rolls around Tucker

Welcoming the weekend like

Ollie is settling in very well with her new brother Spencer 😍 literally makes my heart melt. She made me look like a liar because I listed her a dog aggressive as any other dog she'd met other than my two she has hated, I guess it's a sign it's meant to be!

Came home a bit later last night, as soon as I walked through the door Ollie is all excited to go to bed and waiting for me to open up the hallway 😂 don't break this dogs routine

Saturday nights calls for cuddles!

No mum. I haven't seen your sock.

Ollie's first swim at the beach but too distracted by all the other dogs. (All much better behaved dogs may I add lol)

Throw the ball! throw the ball! ⚾️ but I'm not going to bring it back to you

How it feels to finish work early on FriYAY

Back home from my weekend away and safe to say I was missed ❤️ Thank you to my awesome friends Georgia & Slade who took great care of them while I was gone, they even got some baths! 🛀

Sharing snacks. Those damn puppy eyes got me 😍

Our Story

My name is Ellora and I am a dog foster carer. Fostering helps rescue and shelter groups reduce the numbers held in pounds which would otherwise would be put down. People associate rescue dogs with problems but often it is the last owner who did not understand the dog or how to provide basic training or socialising. We all foster with the intention of finding a permanent forever home. Fosters help provide basic training and socialising skills when we welcome the dog into our homes. We learn their personalities which is vital to help match the potential new family. This means that not all animals will be suited to the homes who apply but we can always keep your name for future dogs who come into care. I have learnt a lot people treat animals as if they're possessions when they get bored with them, the rescue groups are trying to reduce the kill rate in pounds across Australia for the animals who are usually abandoned but may not have enough fosters to take on any more animals. So, please consider being a foster parent, you can choose how long you do it for, whether it be short term or long term, it all helps, even the vet bills and usually the food as well is paid for. But if you cannot commit to caring there are other ways you can help as well, as moderate to large rescues also need volunteers who can transport food or animals to their foster carer now and again.

Please consider providing some spare space in your home to save a life. Feel free to inbox me if you would like any help finding a local rescue group :).

Adopt, don't shop.
