Last week we were contacted by a Vet Clinic regarding a client of theirs. A tragedy had happened to the family of which we can't even imagine.
They had welcomed a Golden Retriever x Poodle puppy into their home, and it turns out she has a possible ectopic urethra. This means the urethra doesn't quite connect into the bladder properly - leaving the puppy with a certain level of urine leakage, or at worst full blown incontinence.
Having searched for answers for their 5 month old puppy and checked with some specialists the cost for the surgery alone is around $6000. And it has a 70% success rate.
Distressed the family who have already been through more than anyone should turned to their vet - who told them about the kind of work we do. Feeling they were unable to provide what was required for her with her needs - they were prepared to surrender "Maud' to us.
Last week a few of us discussed the case of Maud and we knew - none of us are set up for a puppy. Particularly a large puppy, timid and in need of socialization. We almost said no, until I was chatting with the girls from New Beginnings Animal Rescue who said they could take her on to foster - but couldn't help financially. We felt we could do the financial side and rehoming - and so - two Rescues became one. For the life of a puppy who just needed a chance.
Two days ago Maud came into care until the girls at NBAR could collect her which was today. A joint effort saw her at our lovely Vet Dylan's clinic and she had a check over, some bloods taken, and we have devised a treatment plan to help Maud.
On 5 February - Maud will be going to the Specialists at Advanced Vet Care - for a consult. If she does indeed have an ectopic urethra we will be going ahead and doing surgery so she will have the chance in life not to be incontinent. All because the lovely girls at NBAR are helping us.
We are SO grateful to have such lovely friends in the animal welfare world who go above and beyond for those they take in. Together holding hands, we will work 50/50 in trying to care for Maud, raise funds, get her to specialists visits, monitor her health and treatments, and help her recovery - then find her a home.
We hope you approve of us working side by side, and taking on a rather larger golden hued maltese 🙂 and making a difference for a not so little puppy - to have a brilliant, kind and loved life.

As you know I am all about transparency. So this is one of the scariest posts I'm going to write - because I know there will be people who are going to object, or be down right angry - I hope not. But it's an unknown. So here goes.
A few years ago I needed to step back. I was exhausted in every possible way. RWL was on the brink of closing - and it was only that our lovely Netta took over that RWL survived. Taking on the running of RWL at the time was a big ask. We had gone from a small grassroots rescue group to a fully functioning Charity - and that was because of the changes Netta and the new Committee had brought in at the time. We stepped up and forward. And survived.
But it was on one condition. I did not want Netta working 24/7 like I had done and burning out, because it is a brutal job, not for the faint hearted - it was not a fair ask to do so for free.
We told you then Netta was being paid part time - and you wholeheartedly agreed it was okay. We breathed out - and continued our work in a better, more organized, more professional way.
Netta these past few years has found Rescue is indeed 24/7. She was having days off mid week, but on those days off, emergencies happened, Shelters contacted her, and the life force of RWL continued despite trying to have some down time, she had none.
We discussed the issue - Netta had no time off per se, and you cannot do rescue at the level we do - like that. It fatigues you in a way that is all encompassing - and is no life, I know. And so I offered to work the 2 days Netta had off - so she could rest, away from the coal face, and catch up on life uninterrupted.
The question was should I be paid like Netta, or not. I am doing the same work, keeping the Charity running, Netta is in for the long haul, as am I, and now with the days off - we can manage to keep ourselves healthier in our mind and bodies by having time away from the stress that is rescue. And someone will ALWAYS be there to run RWL - because it is like a hospital - it runs every minute of every day.
And so the answer is yes. I will be paid a small part time wage and it has been agreed to by the Committee and the Foster carers.
Now. If any of you disagree or are unhappy, please let me know. You can email me personally at rescued1@bigpond.net.au and tell me.
I feel awkward and I don't want any of you upset. But I would rather put myself out there and be transparent to you than hide it and not tell anyone - because RWL means that much to me. It's integrity means that much to me. And your support means more than a great deal. And although RWL has moved from a tiny 2 lady Rescue in the suburbs to a fairly strong advocate over the past 15 years, I want to make sure all the changes we have made, and the growing, and keeping up has been purely for RWL to thrive.
And I think having two people watching RWL every single day of the week, is better than having one, who is exhausted with no days off, and eventually having to close RWL due to burn out.
So there it is RWL supporters.
I hope you can find it in your hearts to understand the choice made.
Much love,
Kae x
Absolutely! Long overdue I believe. xxxooo
Please pay yourself. There is not enough money for all the things you do. Xx
Of course you should be paid. And if anyone has any objection they should spend a day doing what you do and I'm sure they'd change their minds super fast!
Great work where would these beautiful animals be with out you
Of course you should be paid! Thank you for all that you both do, I’m sure your sacrifices are huge💕
A fantastic solution. Thank goodness we have Netta & Kae on the side of those who need it most. God bless you both!!
Yes you should be paid. Great work all of you❤️❤️❤️
Yes you should. 🌸
Absolutely you should be paid it’s great work you do .
You all do an amazing job, never feel like you shouldn't be reimbursed for your time. It's definitely ok 💕
You absolutely deserve to be paid for the 2 days. All the best xxx
Yes. Absolutely !!!!
You are all walking saints....and yes of course you and nett shld be compensated.
Absolutely you should
👍
Thank you for doing a great job! Glad you are looking after yourself
Yes....❤️💜💚🧡
You do a marvelous job,you should be paid Kae.xx
Oh Kae, why shouldn't you be paid, there's a lot more to it than just rescuing these babies. We need this wonderful group to keep functioning, it's a very wise choice to share the responsibilities, and get paid, thumbs up 😀😀
Absolutely, yes, yes, yes!!!!!
Go for it. What you do is more than just rescue. I just can’t imagine how you can deal with such heartbreaking situations and frankly thank god you do. You deserve it.
Its people like you that work tirelessly to ensure your beloved dogs that no one else want are given to the rest of us to ensure they find their forever home full of love...I wouldn't have been blessed to find our 'Sparkles' -a true little sweetheart...❤❤
Absolutely yes, you should be paid for the amazing job you and Nett do.
Totally agree nobody should work 24 / 7 especially in this line of work.
Of course you need to be paid! It’s probably not enough for either of you, IT’S A BIG JOB! You all do a fabulous job ❤️

Our beautiful Tibbie girl Molly is having a much needed dental today. She is also having a tiny little lump removed from her eyelid and we decided to do some X-rays on her hip area as she has some stiffness there, and she might need some pain relief to help her. Molly will be up for adoption soon in the Brisbane Region. So stay tuned and we will keep you posted. Thanks to the lovely Lynne for helping us!

Sometimes, the first day in a new place can be a little overwhelming for some of the bubs who come to us. Some don’t skip a beat, they just slot right in no trouble at all, while others, like Sally, pace and pant. You see Sally’s world was very small before she came to us. Perhaps sometime in the past it had been different, but for quite some time, her world has been just her owner and cats, the inside of her home, and that was it. Sally sadly never went outside – not even to toilet it seems, and so, on arrival at her foster home, in a new big strange world and new people, she paced and she paced.
With time to settle in, gentle reassurances, space, kindness, foster dad Stu sitting himself on the floor with her, foster mum Janice giving her the best and most tempting meals ever, skip forward a few days and Sally is a happy girl. She’s feeling so comfortable she’s happy to help herself to treats from the cupboard! She’s loving little walks outside, lapping up pats and snoozing peacefully – although at this stage she won’t sleep on a bed but is slowly getting used to a snuggly blanket under her.
A big thank you to Janice and Stu for the extra special care they’re showing Sally and helping her to adjust.
Sally is just the sweetest soul who’ll be looking for a home of her own very soon xx

Hi I’m Elvis, I’m a 6 year old chihuahua and I weigh in at a tiny 2.5 kilos of pure love. Like all chihuahuas I’m full of personality and love to be with you. The more cuddles I can get the happier I am.
I’m great with cats and other small dogs. I get jealous of other males but get along great with the ladies. I’d be perfectly happy as an only dog so I can get all the attention as let’s face it, it’s all about me. I like to be where you are and love to go in the car but due to arthritis in my front legs I can’t go for walks but a pram ride would be fabulous and guess what, I come with a doggie pram!
Unfortunately, due to my tiny size I’m not suitable for a home with very young children or an apartment as sometimes I yell when I can’t see you.
Whoever adopts me is going to be loved like only a chihuahua can.

Gees such a young dog to have arthritis poor love. We had a pram for our dearly beloved Pip and she was able to go everywhere with us. She loved it 😘
My baby girl who passed away 2 years ago today, at 14 1/2 years old. She was my life. I'm still devastated and too scared to love another 😪 Elvis is just gorgeous and I hope he goes to the best home possible 🙏
Where are you located Elvis?

Last night we said goodbye to Cherry Pie.
Affectionately known to her mum Ruth, as her Benjamin Button, because she seemed younger the longer she spent with her.
She came to RWL in 2018 as a 16+ year old with mammary tumours - needing the entire chains and lymph nodes removed.
Tricking us into thinking her time with us was limited, foster mum Ruth took her on as her own, as a RWL foundation dog.
Cherry spent 3 years with her mumma Ruth growing younger by the day, but over the past weeks, Cherry's sugar levels were continually dipping low. She had a CT scan on Wednesday which confirmed an Insulinoma - which is a tumour on the pancreas that causes it to produce too much insulin.
Last night she was rushed to emergency, her little body was now gobbling up sugar faster than it could be given and nothing further could be done.
She passed, wrapped in love, in her mumma Ruth's arms.
Our thoughts and love to Ruth we thank you for the love you gave this special girl.
Vale Cherry Pie.
Rest in Peace Cherry Pie 🕊🍒🐾 I had a miniature poodle named Cherry when I was a child 🍒❤️
Doesn't matter how old they are, the loss is just as great.. 😢 RIP Cherry Pie 💔
Bless 💓
What an angel xxx
Vale little one x
So sorry for your loss!
❤️
Rest in peace sweetheart

What a cute little girl. Hugs to Mama Ruth for taking in this dear soul.
Comforting to know that she passed being loved so much RIP little soul 💞

I remember cherry pie RIP now😢. Hugs to Ruth xx
Samantha has a home 😁
A lovely home!!!
Her new mum Vicki tells us they're having a wonderful time together. Sam apparently just loves the beach and runs up and down, exploring the cuttlefish (just in case they are edible - luckily they are not). She was initially surprised by the whole concept of waves. They are loving each others company and enjoying multiple walks a day together.
Thank you to Foster Mum Joanna, for the perfect care and the looooong drive to get our girl into her beautiful home xx
Happy furever home beautiful Samantha 💓 🐶
Someone is in love with her very own Mummy ... 💖💖💖💖
Super.
Congratulations. Adoptions are just the best! 💜💜💜💜🐾🐾🐾🐾

Such a little princess Samantha.❤️ Congratulations to your lovely new fur mum.💜🐾
Tis I, Vlad.
As you know I am a sassy gal. These days Mum watches over me as I am a little more frail than I used to be. I don't bite any more (took me around 14 years to stop that) now that I am fully blind, and I forget where I am and walk into walls and corners. I don't like the poached chicken Mum cooks daily so I pig out on dry stuff (that was today, tomorrow I will change my mind)
I like to pee on mum's new rug and blame it on Tix. She caught me this morning and told me off, but I just kept walking to the water bowl and tipped it over. (Sorry, NOT sorry!)
Before Mum's breakfast she gave me my meds and threw me in the bath. Tix my sister pooed inside and I walked all through it. Hey - SHE rolled in it! It was caked on the tiles and Mum hadn't had her coffee I thought her head would explode! HAHAHAHA!
No - she stayed calm, fed Wix, gave him his insulin and cleaned up the floor while he ate and WHOA - lifted me into warm soapy water! What the heck! Is that abuse? I ask you! She cleaned my face and told me to behave and I sat in the bath and plotted my revenge.
Next thing you know I'm in a towel being fluffed and puffed - that is NOT what Vlad does Mum! Vlad is tough! She also closed the side gate so I could not get in the dirt and scuff (my favourite past time) so I got her back. See that pic she posted? That is the best I would give her. Yes. I was NOT having it. Not at all......
Tonight I ate dinner and faffed around everyone's dinner bowls, I like to wander and RAH! (that's my bark) RAH, then go outside and RAH some more just to get up the neighbour's grill.
Mum picks me up and tells me to hush - but I give her one more to go on with. While I am no longer a cactus, I still rule with some importance.
Don't you forget that. Or I will pee on your carpet!
Prayers to u sweet one!💟🐾🙏
Mum is a saint
Hilarious god love her ❤

Awwww, good luck honey...you'll be someone's Teddy Bear! 😉😍😊
Late Tuesday afternoon I got a call from my lovely Ranger friend. We have worked together for phew, over a decade now and lots of little ones have come via her to RWL - and had a chance at a new life. 🙂
It was a bit of a doozy she said. A woman who was a hoarder had passed away in her house, and her two cats (they are safe and back in a shelter) and her dog were in the house with her. There is no other family - and this little 14 yo dog would be in the pound by that night.
I quickly rang Netta and she agreed whatever we could do and so I rang our lovely vet staff and said there was a little dog - could she come and overnight until we sorted things out. Of course they said. (how good was that???)
We had to wait for the coroner to arrive at the property - the police were there, and my friend picked up "Sally" and drove her to the clinic - who had closed but were waiting for her.
Sally was given fresh food, water and a comfy bed and settled down quietly for the night.
Not knowing Sally's personality, other than she was a cutie - we decided to try her with some dogs the next morning at the clinic. She seems okay (this is the one thing we can not negotiate on they have to be dog friendly) so lovely Janice and Stu have put their hands up to foster Sally.
We ran bloods, did a C5 Vaccination, heartworm test and she has a bit of a skin issue (flea dermatitis) and she has a couple of lumps to be removed (she was chewing on them).
Our lovely vet Dylan rang today and Sally's bloods are good so we are going ahead with her dental (her teeth are black) and she is just coming around now which is good to hear.
Sally will go home later today with some Meloxicam for her arthritis in her back legs, and antibiotics (for her dental) and flea and worm treatment. We are, so very grateful to our Ranger friend for the care she gives at the coal face to people like this deceased owner. Life is very hard for many - and we feel so sad that this kind of thing still happens - and people fall through the cracks of our society. Hopefully she will know somehow we are going to care for her beloved Sally, and that she will be looked after for life.
We will update you on little Sally in the coming days. x
Welcome Sally.... gorgeous girl.... 💖🐾
Dear little thing 💜
You are all so wonderful <3 Poor sweet Sally <3 She's a darling.
Gorgeous baby. You are in good hands now little one. Rest easy, and enjoy some pampering. You have been through so much.

Wow. That’s so good ❤️
Hello Sally, you're in the best hands possible 💖
She will be a beautiful friend for someone - such a pretty face ❤
Awww for what little time she has left she’ll have a wonderful life full Of love care and good food.
Thanks for taking that sweet baby in.
So glad you her in your care poor little darling very sad about the lady ..so much sadness around 💙🙏🥰❤️

Juni made it through her second round of Chemotherapy no problem at all. A lot of dancing and twirling is still on the dance card!
She patrolled the perimeter and told the neighbour's dog off no end yesterday and has managed to be as divine as always.
Her tumours are growing rapidly - but we are doing everything we possibly can. Meanwhile this little soul is happy and we hope for a lot more time to enjoy this happiness and joy!
You are a star Juni. I am keeping you in my prayers. I really hope you can fight this monster. 💚💙💜
Prayers for your sweet little one!!
Praying for her. She is adorable. ❤️❤️
Well done Juni. Hope for more happy photos of you as the days go on. Such a sweetheart.
❤🙏❤ sweet Juni!
Love you pretty girl Juni ❤❤❤
Your a sweetheart Juni!!!

Oh, Miss Juni, you are an absolute darling heart. You keep doing your gorgeous thing - we love you! <3 <3 <3
Guess who has a home?
Guess who has her very own family?
Guess who goes for runs and swims and walks and rides?
Guess who is enjoying her training?
Guess who is living the best life ever?
It was mid June when Ranger Cassandra called me in the vain hope I would know what to do about a seriously injured cattle dog. (I didn't) and the roller coaster of help and people and effort from the Pound staff to the drivers (Ann and Sue) and our Vet Dylan, and of course Irene and Wayne who literally did the very hard yards every.single.day.
With much medical treatment, surgery, bandage wraps and medicine, to training and giving her the very best we absolutely could for her breed (okay we admit cattle dogs are not a speciality of RWL!) we reached out to our lovely friend Keryn who trained our girl in things needed - and will continue to do the training with her for her new family.
It has been a ride and a half. Lots of tears shed as she headed off to her new home. Lots of heartache as we grappled with her injuries, and hope that we might be able to do one thing more for her.
Our job is done now. And we know we will always get updates on how she is doing. Thank you to everyone who helped get Maltese cattle dog to where she is today.
Go Juno. We love you.
Wonderful outcome. Well done RWL and team!
Awesome!!!
Beautiful 💚
Happy life Juno🥰
