25.01.2022 Hard to believe this is the same boy. Angus

23.01.2022 Did somebody say EARS!!! Lexi & Ari are happy puppies enjoying life, they both are still coughing but slowly getting better

23.01.2022 We love updates from our adopters This is Coco with her hubrother as you can see they absolutely adore each other. Coco was adopted back in December 2016 and has been living her best life ever since with her beautiful family. Thank you Josh & Case for adopting this gorgeous girl and giving her the life she deserved.

21.01.2022 Welcome Lexi to the CAPS family. Lexi is a Catahoula x she is approx 10-11weeks old. Lexi hasn’t had a great start to life she has come in with very similar symptoms to Ari so she is off to the vets tomorrow morning to be checked over.

20.01.2022 Thank you to everyone that came down on Saturday for the opening of the new Dog Park, it was awesome to see all the dogs there. Thank you to Donna of Coffee de Wheels for providing refreshments and Sodexo for the sausage sizzle. WTA have done an amazing job providing the community with this dog park, we hope you all continue to use and enjoy it ... Thank you to our volunteers that helped out on the day also, we couldn’t do what we do without you.

20.01.2022 UPDATE: THIS BEAUTIFUL BOY HAS GONE TO PEGGY’S PROMISE RESCUE IN SYDNEY URGENT FOSTER CARER NEEDED This gorgeous boy is in the pound he has some injuries so we would like to get him out into care as soon as possible, he has been on antibiotics but he needs to have his wounds treated, we will supply all medications and anything else he needs, he doesn’t need special care just to get out of the pound.... He is a very friendly boy but we are not sure as yet what he is like with other dogs so we can arrange meet and greets with your dog/s to make sure he will be ok, at this stage we would say no outside cats or pocket pets just to be safe. If you would like to become a foster carer and you have a safe secure yard and you have approval if renting to have a dog or extra dog please contact our page or our Foster and Adoption Coordinator on 0438978154 for more information

19.01.2022 AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE ADOPTION Miss Meow is looking for a new furever home, she is 13yrs young and would really like a home with no dogs and older children preferred. She would love a home where she can live peacefully, this move is very hard for her owners and not something that was ever in their plan but due to circumstances they are looking for the purfect home for Miss Meow ... Miss Meow is desexed and vaccinated. If you think you could give her the home she is looking for please contact our page, she needs to find a home in the next few weeks.

17.01.2022 Thank you so much Cindy Andresen for the three bags of donated puppy food, it is so greatly appreciated

14.01.2022 Poor Bindi is being overlooked why??? We can only assume because she is an older girl, so no puppy stage, already well mannered, low maintenance we just don’t understand why.

14.01.2022 Welcome Charlie to the CAPS family Charlie is approx 4mths old and is such a good mannered, lovely boy, he will be available for adoption soon.

13.01.2022 We welcomed these five munchkins to the CAPS family today. They will be available for adoption once they have been vet checked and vaccinated, unfortunately little Ari in the top right of the pic is not well and was rushed to see the vet nurse this afternoon, she has a chest infection so is on antibiotics to help clear it up, fingers crossed she responds well and gets better quickly.

13.01.2022 THANK YOU, SHORTY HAS FOUND A NEW HOME Meet Shorty a kelpie cross corgi, he is approx 7yrs old, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and wormed. Shorty, as his name suggests is only a small dog, he loves people and loves chasing his ball, he is energetic so would suit an active home that will include him in activities, he is ok with other dogs after proper introductions. If you would be interested in Shorty becoming a part of your family, please contact our page or our Foster & Adoption Coordinator on 0438978154

11.01.2022 WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTOS Our beautiful Bindi had to go under today to have an abscess treated, she now has a drain in the side of her face. The vets are unsure what exactly caused the abscess but we are happy she is now on the mend. Being a non for profit and with COVID19 putting a hold on our fundraising events, if you could spare a few dollars to help us towards Bindi’s vet bill it would be greatly appreciated, at the moment her bill stands at approx $600.... We thank you for your support

11.01.2022 Bindi had her drain removed today, thank you to everyone that donated to help with her bill. So far so good she is still healing but it looks great. Bindi is still waiting for her fur ever home, if you are looking for a great low maintenance companion Bindi’s your girl
