How gorgeous little darling 💜🥰❤️
Our little girl Cinta. Loves her chariot. Gets really excited when we get it out as it means a trip to somewhere different and lots of treats for letting those pesky little humans talk to her
So cute!! Makes sense
Precious!
Precious girl 💞
Oh how lovely.
Cute
Looking like a queen 💜
So gorgeous 🙏❤️
And I think that the perfect one has caught her eye.....lol
She did have a stressful first night. Being blind, she was a little confused and stressed - and bumping onto walls 😕 (we do have plans if she keeps bumping don't worry). But after foster mum Carmela literally holding her paw at bed time (just the paw, she didn't want cuddles, at least not yet) she stopped panting and fell asleep. Carmela woke up to the first image - looking pretty relaxed IMHO. Today she's been walking around much more relaxed and found a few soft spots to nap.
Over the next weeks we will assess her health in more detail and see how we can better help her. There are some follow up tests needed.
In the meantime, it's all about appreciating the moments when she feels comfortable enough to nap with "The Donut".
Welcome Asha.
Bless her ♥
Such a sweetheart, hope she continues to thrive in her new environment ,hugs and kisses to you❤️

Asha has just arrived today and is slowly settling into care with Carmela and Kiri. She's met a new little fur friend Eduardo, who is totally intrigued. She's had a vet check, a big drive, a little dinner and is currently settling in, on a lap - of course!!!
Asha has previously had both her eyes removed - so it's slowly slowly helping her to feel safe and secure, but we know this dear little soul, will soon feel brave and at home, as soon as she realises she's landed herself in the 5 star service of Carmela and Kiri.
Welcome little one xxxxxx
bless you little one xx
Welcome precious 💓
little darling hope she gets on wellxx
Wee darling
🙏🙏🙏
Bless her xx
Omg!!!! She can join our clan!!!!
Gorgeous baby! I do have a question though, why so many of these rescues have eye issues, is it breed related or the way they have been treated? Sorry for my ignorance.
Sweetheart 🥰

Well Paddy, my dear, you are learning much faster than either one of mine ... took me six years to teach someone (not naming names ... okay ... it was Suzie Q ... a/k/a ZuZu) to sit and stay before she belts out the back door! You are doing so well ... you must have special hearing that you can't control ... unlike "someone" who will look right at me and then bugger off ... with a flip to her tail! Lots of love, Paddy. xoxoxoxo
Good job little ones
Beautiful! ❤️
Awesome job! There both so cute.

So so Sad RIP Sofie 😥😥❤❤
This appears to be an injury which occurred prior to her coming to us - and somehow she has managed to walk and use her leg.
We have sought Specialist advise and on Tuesday she will have surgery with our lovely vet Dylan. The surgery is where they take the femoral head off, and excise the neck of the femur, and eventually the scar tissue around that area will 'grown another socket'. for her hip to live in.
Putting her hip back into it's original socket will more than likely see it dislocate again. This is not an option. Muscles are stretched and possibly torn already - and there is nothing that will hold it in place.
Jean-Louise will come home to Barry and I that night and we will care for her during her rehab. It is a huge surgery for our tiny one. And she will require more surgery down the track for her dislocated patella on the same leg.
We think, at this stage we can cover it, we have the funds, hoping that nothing comes along that pushes us over. We just don't feel okay asking for more at this stage so soon after Woody, and the other surgeries we have had to do recently. 🙁
I will let you know after Tuesday how she is. Meanwhile yesterday we bought a new pram as our 10 year old one finally gave way. So we are going to test drive it at the park today with the girls which should be fun.
Thanks again everyone for your kind support. x
Look at that face 🥰😍🥰😍 hope the surgery goes well.
Sending love and prayers!🐾🙏
Sending hugs, love and prayers , what a beautiful girl 💗💗💗
Good luck. Hope all goes well for the little darling. ❤️❤️❤️
Best wishes, Little One.
Sending lots of healing hugs and much love to this precious little one. I hope your operation is successful. God only knows what you have gone through. You are safe now surrounded by love and kindness. Bless you and the ones caring for you. 💚💙💜
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Lots of love. Had an old English sheepdog many years ago who had the same op. He recovered well and quickly.❤️
💜🙏💜
What a beautiful little face💜
This baby girl is so beautiful, I will be praying for her.💗
Hoping all goes well Tuesday, sending love and prayers 💕💕💕
Such a little darling..that face. Get better sweetie. 😘❤
I hope you get well soon precious little one
Beautiful little girl 💕
Aww, look at that wee face! So sweet. Wish you well little one.
Poor little Jean-Louise! I hope surgery goes well but, just holler if you need our help. That’s what we are here for ❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾
Omg look at that face❤I would be kissing you non stop
💔🙏💖❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful baby
Good luck my dog Pierre had that the exact same surgery at about 5 years and lived a very happy life sadly passed at the age of 18 xx.
Sending lots of love & healing hugs. Such a beautiful little girl. God bless xx
She is so beautiful. Good luck with your surgery little one your in the best care now🥰🥰
We've had 2 cats and a dog have the same op. No problems. Healing hugs going her way 💞
I hate it for her but at least she will get the best of care. Thank you for caring for this little beauty!!
We allow Breeders, and unscrupulous breeders, and puppy farmers to charge up to $8,000 for a puppy of any breed, yet when the RSPCA (a Charity) does it - they are vilified.
www.9news.com.au/national/french-bulldog-cost-rspca-queensland-profiteering-dogs-adoption-prices/...
I also consider a number of other issues - RSPCA Qld have sent us dogs because they won't do an ultrasound to find out if a dog has liver cancer (she didn't) and were to euthanise.
RSPCA will also send Rescue dogs they don't feel they would save - and so Rescue will spend the money doing exactly that they have done with these dogs.
Confused yet?
Rescue has to out source every since medical treatment. RSPCA or large shelters with Vets in house do not. We are RWL charge $400 adoption fee across the board. Often we waive the fee if the dog has ongoing expensive medical treatment. Other Rescues will charge more for puppies or popular breeds, up to $1600 to help recoup their costs.
Still confused?
We have a Charity (RSPCA) trying to prosecute for cruelty. A pity we don't have Animal Police to get down and dirty with offenders - and clean up with a bit more of the law on their side.
And it's a pity we still have Magistrates who do not consider animal cruelty a heinous crime - no one to my knowledge, in Australia has ever been given the maximum sentence for animal cruelty.
And Shelters are still allowed to kill an animal because they feel inclined - without seeking treatment, or a viable option. Places like the Lost Dogs Home hold massive sway with a loud voice saying they are one of the leading (along with RSPCA) bodies for animal welfare in this country.
Yet they all work to a very basic Code that does not offer protection for those they are designed for. It is 'hoped' rather than enforced - that those in animal welfare in Australia will do the right thing. We have seen where that can lead us.
Companion animals in Australia have little protection from a messy system enforced here. The law of Australia, the Code of Practice, Council regulations have literally thrown our animals under the bus.
There is the other side of this too. The moral side. A charity such as RSPCA Qld who have a budget of over $50M annually are always going to be on the hunt for a dollar. So French Bulldogs with their surgeries (done at a substantial discount according to the specialist who did the surgeries) are a good way of gaining a few extra bucks.
But how does it look? A bit tawdry?
I can't help feeling as someone who has been in Rescue for 15 years and those in RWL who work tirelessly 24/7 jaded by all of this.
The fact is animal welfare in Australia is actually animal control. And it rarely is a win for the vulnerable animals who enter the system - because it is not designed for the client, but the controlling bodies.
RSPCA denies profiteering from $4500 French bulldog adoptions
www.9news.com.au
RSPCA denies profiteering from $4500 French bulldog adoptionsBy Nick Pearson7:52pm Apr 15, 2021 Tweet Facebook Mail RSPCA Queensland has denied accusations it is profiteering by putting on a $4500 price tag to adopt French bulldogs.The RSPCA has been caring for 28 rescued dogs for the past nine mont...Well said. If all of the small rescues disappeared, the big, well funded shelters would be overrun in days. Most run at a loss because they take in and care for the ones the big shelters deem "to expensive". The rescue I am with spent over $3000 on one kitten. Her adoption fee was $100.
I'm. Really disillusioned by the RSPCA management and their decisions. When you see these multi million dollar budgets that small rescues would kill to just have a small percentage of. I see the grass roots rescues going that extra mile even travelling hours away to find one vet to help out, yet RSPCA with its millions will put one little soul to sleep because of cost. I feel sad for the volunteers at these big "rescues" who do the right thing but the management do the wrong thing.
Emiley Cody
Well said
I am heartbroken at the sudden jump in prices to purchase a puppy (not from rescue). I am an older person with 4 senior animals (3 rescues) and I am facing the realisation that I may not be able to afford to buy a puppy to be my company in the near future. I’m sure many others like me face a lonely existence when the last of my fur babies passes away. I’m afraid that if I have to spend up to $3000 for the dog I want, that I will then not have the savings to cover any emergency situations that may arise. I know there are a huge amount of people who say if I can’t afford the purchase then I shouldn’t have an animal. I have also been told this by the nasty receptionist at my local vet when I asked for 2 days to pay the $40 I was short for an emergency trip there. Two days! And I’ve been a customer for 40 years! I guess My life and the quality of it is just not important if I’m not loaded. 🥲😩😭😭😭
You will find many people support their local rescues rather than 'big' orgs. I have diverted 100% of my donations to organisations like RWL. I have encouraged my family to do the same. It is important to be visible and heard as many people who aren't tech savvy don't know about the smaller groups. Great work as always RWL.
The story covers precisely why, if people want brachycephalic dogs, the initial $4500 is just a taste of what they will have to be able to afford over the dog’s lifetime.
The RSPCA are a joke!
RSPCA ?????
They r just as bad as the puppy farms and get away with it....what happened to the RSPCA re-homing animals at affordable prices..
About time
The price of dogs these days is ridiculous most are just cross breds
Yes I agree RSPCA at least your money goes to good use
We foster through RSPCA... in the case of RSPCA Vic this information is grossly incorrect, we’ve had elderly animals that they do all test on, scans, blood work, surgeries... they are unable to rehome animals that don’t meet their temperament requirements, in these case they often work with foster carers to help with behavioral homing outside of the shelter environment... if this doesn’t work they then get offered to rescues.
all animals should be neutered unless they're owned by a licensed breeder who has them health checked prior to breeding. my 2 unrelated cross breeds both had to have hip replacements @ over $8,000 each years ago yes $32,000. apparently it's so common now in pure breeds and cross breeds our vet recommends x rays when they're neutered. just unscrupulous breeding to make a few dollars and why should unwanted dogs be put to sleep it's about time the market was regulated
RSPCA and our laws are USELESS!
It just should be about animal welfare.
Agreed there are so many puppy farmers. We have one locally who produces dogs with serious (often fatal issues) & the bitches are bred B2B; one has had 10litters!!!!! Yet EVERYONE turns a blind eye 😢 Thank you to rescues for doing what you do 💗
I haven’t read this post as soon as l saw the words RSPCA the hairs on my neck stood up. I better not comment any further. I hope Woody and Audrey are having a good night 💜❤️
Thank you for doing what you do ❤️
Disgusting...and I only read a little..arggggg
I agree
Audrey has been up and down. She is still at the vet and overnighting again. She perked up a little today. Her x-rays were better than yesterday, and she was stable for a while outside the oxygen tent, but tonight is flat again with her oxygen levels and heart rate up and down. We know, she is in the best place and getting the best of care xx
Thank you for all your kind and positive thoughts. It means a lot to us xx
🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜

❤sending love woody
I so get it. Our little Reese had glaucoma too. We eventually had to have his eyes removed. It was awful!!! He was never the same and was unable to adjust to blindness. Outside he did beautifully but in the house it was heartbreaking to watch him struggle. To this day we question our decision to have his eyes removed. There weren't any options that were acceptable and we still struggle with attempting to do the right thing for him. It's a terrible place to be. Yes, his pain was gone but his life was miserable. How to deal with this? I don't know.
🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Darling boy
What a champion. Now for some relief little one.🌟🌟🌟
Wishing Woody a speedy recovery!
sending love
You poor little petal. Sending love and healing hugs.💚💜💙
As it turns out she had a slight temperature - and we won't talk about the squirty runs at 5 am this morning (on the bedroom carpet.....) so she might have just had an upset tummy.
But we had X-rays done because she was so hunched and was so shocked by the result. Jean-Louise has a dislocated hip.
We think it might have happened a while ago - and she has been living with it - as it takes quite a blunt force trauma to happen to actually luxate the hip from the socket.
While she was under sedation - Dylan tried putting it back in but it was held firm by all the clenched muscles around it. So we are sending off her X-rays to specialist Sam Snelling to get his opinion. Meanwhile my little Smile Maker and Heart Healer will be on pain relief until further notice.
Jean-Louise will be staying as a RWL Foundation Dog and will live with Barry and I, as part of our gang. As you know we had 8 and now we have 2, plus Jean-Louise. I promise you she will get everything she needs in the future - whatever surgery is required for her hip and patella.
She is the most special of souls - and facing surgeries in the coming years we will keep you updated on SmileMaker.

Sweet girl ❤❤
Sending love and healing vibes for speedy recovery Jean-Louise. 💕🐾💕🐾
The poor little poppet. Hopefully she will be fixed and feeling better soon.
I hope that she can keep you smiling for a long time yet.🤞❤️
You little ray of sunshine you Jean-Louise.....🌞🌞🌞
Poor baby. Hope she comes right soon. Thank you for loving her.xx
😀❤
Ohhh wow what a surprise and not a pleasant one. Poor little poppet. Hope she'll be feeling better on the pain relief until such time something can be done to fix her dislocated hip. Very stressful few months Kae thinking of you
Poor little love ❤
You poor little one, prayers for her.
It amazes me how dogs can live with so much pain and not tell you. I guess it has to do with wild dogs and survival. Such a gorgeous girl. Hope the issue is resolved soon so she can get back on with life. 💖💖💖
Poor darling. Feel better soon. ❤
Poor little soul. How painful for her.
Thank goodness you found it, get better soon Jean Louise.
❤️🙏❤️
Trying to imagine the pain this little mite has been in - when the hip first dislocated and then learning to live with it. AND, she still smiles and is happy? What a treasure. xo
Oh poor baby. She is in good hands with you. 💕
Poor thing😢
Love & healing sent to you little Jean-Louise.💜💜How wonderful she is staying with your beautiful family Kae.🐕🐕🐕❤️❤️

Perfect. 💜💚💙
What a lovely view Miss Bronte Lucky girl 💕
That gap would worry me. 🤭
Gorgeous ❤️
Great spot for her to watch the world go by!
Beautiful balcony & dog. 💖
Glad you are enjoying yourself little girl.
Got to have a view lol. And she has a great one. Beautiful.
🥰
lucky girl
Great to see. 🥰🥰
Wow miss Bronte, wish I had your view....lucky girl.
The gap would worry me
Oh Bronte, whst a great view you have.
Miss Bronte, I love your view, pleased to hear you love your new home & you’re behaving ..... most of the time 😊💕🐾💕🐶🐕🐩
Great view lucky girl
I love visiting Bronte, gorgeous girl ❤️
Oh, they love balconies. My girl takes herself in & out all day keeping an eye on the street. While her 'Buddy' next door watches her from his balcony. So much to see. Enjoy Miss. Bronte.
Today, Dr Chloe opened their clinic just for Woody, as they were worried about him - seriously Melbourne Eye Vets are just the best!
Thank goodness, his eye pressure finally stayed lower over night this time, but it's likely, if all stays low by Monday, the next step for him will be to put in a shunt, to permanently keep the pressure down. They can only do the surgery if his pressure is low enough, so it's another nervous wait. He's tentatively booked in for surgery on Tuesday.
Decisions like this are never easy, but the shunt usually has an 80% success rate, and may be the only way we can save his eyesight and keep him comfortable. He has no vision in his other eye so, if things stay stable for him, if we can try to save this one - it's what we'll do.
We'll be discussing further with the Eye Specialists on Monday. We'll update you when we know more.
You know how we feel about asking for donations, but if he does need surgery, we may need to ask for help again, but please hold off until we're sure whether or not things can go ahead in the meantime though, please do send us all your positive thoughts for our little man xx
Good luck little man

I’m now 17 years and 8 months young! I’m still tritting, trotting, snoozing and eating, and tritting and trotting some more. I am a little frailer these days, the little old legs can slip and slid on some surfaces, and I have a little more cognitive decline, more so on some days than others. I’m still doing well, except for that one corner I get stuck in, when the door to the baby gate is open. That’s when mum comes to the rescue. She carries me in and out multiple times a day and night, I have my own personal servant 🤣
Being a little frailer, mumma watches me like a hawk for any signs of distress. But for now, I still jump up when it’s dinner time, my vision and hearing are low but I can still hear when the other dogs bark and run with them when there’s a knock on the door. I still just love a good rub under the chin and lean my whole body in for a scratch on the ear. I scritch and scratch at my bed for quite some time before I get in, to make sure it’s just perfect. I snooze and laze my days away.
Yesterday was grooming day – and I really do need to apologise to the lovely grooming ladies at Balwyn Vet. I do give them a bit of a hard time these days, so if there are a few whiskers out of place, well I only have myself to blame! The grooming team are so lovely with me, and oh the process they need to go through. No holding me, no sireee! I don’t like to be held, but if they gently snip, snip, snip, then let me go on my merry way, for a while, then I let them get in another little snip, snip, snip, but watch out….. It will be followed by a snap, snap, gummy snap from me, if they annoy me around my face. They are so patient and tell me I’m the oldest client they have, so they’re happy to give me a little extra care! Thank you and sorry lovely ladies xx
Well it is time for me to have a little nap…. again, because just “thinking” about getting up makes me tired! So, until next time.
Love to you all
Snowie xx

Such sad news..she was a huge personality and we all lived to hear about her shenanigans. She was surrounded by so much love and lived her best life with you.xx
How very sad for you. Sincere condolences. We lost our Polly the dachshund recently and it is still very sad and lonely without her.
So sorry, what a lot of love you gave her. She takes that love with her to the bridge. What a wonderful gift to give. Run free little one. 💕🌈
Sorry to hear this little one has passed Kae. She sure was a character. Xx
