​This page is always under construction. 
GO TO PETS FOR ADOPTION

Munchkin - 2yr old Terrier Cross Female - IN REHAB

Picture
​​Munchkin and her 3 little babies have their very own page so you can see their story. 

It will be a while until Munchkin is ready for adoption. She needs to be moved to Sydney to have both patellas done with a specialist once her babies are adopted. 

MUNCHKIN'S SURGERY IS BOOKED FOR 1ST DECEMBER 2025

​UPDATE; MUNCHKIN HAD HER SURGERY AND IS NOW ALLOWED LIGHT EXERCISE AND ONCE SHE'S UP FOR HER REGULAR ZOOMIES SHE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION


MUNCHKIN'S STORY

Poppy - One Of Munchkin's Babies - Withdrawn

Picture
July 2025
***** Withdrawn **** Unfortunately Poppy was just diagnosed with a slipping patella which cannot be surgically corrected until she is fully grown. 

Dolly - 13yrs -  Mini Foxy cross Silky Terrier - IN REHAB

Picture
Picture
Dolly is safe and cosy but in a dreadful state.

Her skin  is worse than the photo shows requiring regular medicated washes.

Her eyes are the second worst dry-eye I have ever seen and that says a lot. Without constant treatment they will dry out to look like little raisins. I suspect she has some eyelashes growing downward to touch her eyes as well.

She is lumpy and bumpy, and all used up from having multiple litters. 

Dolly is booked in for the 3rd of September to have initial testing and exams so we can organise a treatment plan. Her blood tests will indicate what type of medication she can take if needed.
​ 
Currently being treated and rehabbed under vet guidance before her booking.

UPDATE - DOLLY IS READY TO BE LISTED FOR ADOPTION.

Sweety - 9.5YRS Maltese Cross - IN REHAB

UPDATE - SWEETY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION SOON

Finnegan - Chihuahua Cross Puppy - IN REHAB

NOTES SOON. FINNEGAN IS WAITING TO BE OLD ENOUGH TO DESEX AND REPAIR HIS UMBILICAL HERNIA. 

​UPDATE
FINNEGAN HAD TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY HERNIA REPAIR AS IT GREW TO THE POINT THAT VETS COULD DELICATELY FEEL A LOOP OF INTESTINE.

Merry - Chihuahua Senior - IN REHAB

NOTES SOON
