🍖#CHEWSDAY🍖
Feeding chunks of raw meat, bones and organs is the preferred method of providing adult healthy dingoes with their raw diet. There’s many reasons for this, let’s look at a few:
✅Happy Dingoes. Happy hormones are released by the brain when carnivores chomp on large chunks of meat and bone. This can help calm anxious and hyperactive behaviour.
✅Pearly Whites. Dental disease currently affects more than 70% of domestic dogs before the age of 2. It’s not as common in raw-fed canids who eat large chunks of meat and appropriate, digestible bones. These animals typically maintain healthy teeth and gums thanks to their diets.
✅Enrichment. Eating every meal out of a bowl doesn't provide any mental stimulation. Large chunks of raw food are one of the easiest options to enrich mealtimes.
✅Nutrition. Mincing meat damages some amino acids, especially tryptophan which helps regulate behaviour (tryptophan deficiency is linked with aggressive and anxious behaviour). Feeding intact muscle meats ensures your dingo is getting the amino acids required for optimal health.

🥩🍖Choosing chunks and larger raw food items:
👉”Chunks” simply refers to large pieces of intact meat that has not been ground or minced.
👉”Digestible Bones” should be largely hollow options from small prey if they’re making up the dietary bone component in the diet.
🔹Examples: Poultry, Rabbit, brisket, ribs excepting beef, tail.
👉”Recreational bones” are given as chews, for enrichment & teeth cleaning. These are large, dense bones that aren’t fully consumed and should be discarded once the meat has been eaten. 🔹Examples: beef necks & tails, large kangaroo tails, sternum and spines from large animals.
🐇”Whole Prey”= Refers to feeding entire small prey animals as a meal, with feathers/fur, heads, feet etc all intact.
❌It is NOT the practice of feeding live animals to our pets. All whole prey animals are humanely dispatche

🎶 ‘Hello! Is it me you’re looking for?’ 🎶 💛 RUSTY 💛 This beautiful sensitive soul is on the look out for his new home. Rusty is an intelligent and independent dingo. Once he has warmed up to you he will eagerly greet you and engage in some play, occasionally showing off his cute play-bow. Rusty loves playing and running around with other dingoes at the sanctuary and would love to go to a home that will have a canine companion for him. Rusty’s new home would ideally be one with active adoptors, who would ensure he would get plenty of mental and physical stimulation. He is however, unsuitable to be adopted to a family with young kids. If you think Rusty is the dingo you’ve been looking for, head over to our website at www.dingoden.net or click the link in our bio to fill out an adoption application. Meet and greets are available on application.
💛RUSTY💛. Gorgeous Rusty is looking for his forever home. Whilst sanctuary life is full of fun with his dingo friends, love and care, Rusty is looking for a home he can call his own, with people who will love and adore him for the rest of his life. Head to our website at www.dingoden.net/adopt to read more about this beautiful soul and if you think you could be the person for him, submit an adoption application located on the adoption page. Link is also attached in the bio.
Love saves lives. That is why, each and every day, our volunteer team pours out countless hours of love and devotion toward vulnerable dingoes who need our help.
Some of these vulnerable dingoes are displaced pets surrendered by their owners, while others were dumped or rescued from abusive homes. Perhaps the most vulnerable of the dingoes we help are the tiny wild-born orphan pups like Snow, who are usually discovered starving and abandoned in the wild because their parents have been culled by poisoned baits, traps or bullets. So many come to us sick, frail and traumatised by the heartbreaking experiences they've endured.
Partnering together through sponsorship affords you the same privilege that we value: helping the wild-hearted recover from sickness, trauma, life-threatening scenarios and abandonment. We love to see these beautiful dingoes become healthy and happy and we know that you do too.

💛 Aurora 💛
Aurora, or 'Rory' as she is affectionately known, is as sweet as sweet can be. She is currently in foster care and would love a home to call her own.
Rory loves a good scratch and cuddle. If she isn't getting the attention that she wants she will nudge you with her nose or paw you to encourage more pats 💞
Due to her wild born nature, it takes Rory a little while to open up to new people. Once she does it is hugs galore from this gorgeous dingo.
Rory is 3 years old and would do best in a quiet environment that can offer her lots of support as she settles in. She adores all dogs and dingoes and follows her older foster siblings around everywhere. A home with another dog or dingo is a must for Aurora 🐾🐺🐶
Aurora is such a gentle soul with the cheekiest personality. She loves to play and is great at creating her own little games. When she isn't digging or chasing crickets, her favourite thing to do is snuggle up on the bed or stretch out by the fire. She definitely likes the luxurious side of life!

💛 Halley 💛
This little firecracker is ready to take the world by storm with her energetic, loving and affectionate nature.
Halley is shy upon first meeting but is quick to find her feet and open up. She is full of life and energy and will thrive in an environment where she can be part of the daily hustle and bustle. Halley will benefit from having another canine in her new home. Someone she can play with and have for company and companionship.
Halley’s new family will need to ensure she receives enough enrichment and stimulation as she develops to ensure she continues growing into a well rounded young dingo-hybrid.

💛 Bambam 💛
Bambam's cheeky and vibrant personality is sure to make you smile. His mischievous antics will most definitely keep everyone on their toes.
Bambam has an infectious spirit that screams goofball. He loves to play and wrestle and sleep in very odd and peculiar positions. Bambam is a confident dingo who loves to adventure. He is good around people and other dogs. He is social by nature, often being one of the first dingoes to say hello to any new people coming through the gates at the sanctuary he currently calls home.
We would love to see Bambam on his next adventure with the family that he deserves. He would do very well in a domestic setting with a family that can provide him with plenty of enrichment, stimulation and dingo friendly activities.
Be sure to let us know if you can give Bambam his forever home by heading over to www.dingoden.net/adopt

💛 Rusty 💛
Rusty is known affectionately to our volunteers as the most ‘photogenic’ of our dingoes. He is regularly perched on a rock overseeing the goings on of the Sanctuary, in prime position for a sneaky photo. His colouring and striking features make it hard not to adore this boy.
Rusty is a sensitive soul and can be aloof at first, taking his time to get to know who he wants to make friends with. But once he decides you’re friends, he will greet you eagerly and when the mood strikes he will play-bow and ask you to play chasey like a gleeful child. He is often playing with the younger males, running happily around the sanctuary. He would love to have a canine companion to play chase with in his new home but his sensitive nature means he can sometimes be fussy with whom he becomes besties. Rusty will be unsuitable to a family with young children.
Rusty is very independent, confident and intelligent and will need plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep his youthful vitality and happy go lucky nature thriving. If you think you can provide the home Rusty dreams of, apply now at www. dingoden.net/adopt 🐾🏡
