22.01.2022 Can you find Charlie the pig?

16.01.2022 To all members please note we do not adopt out dogs or cats nor are we taking any in. If you need assistance with a cat in particular please try bigger organisations such as AWL or RSPCA where the animal can have all of its vet work completed before going into a new home. Alternatively slightly smaller rescues Ginger Ninja Rescue, Lucky Little Paws Rescue, Kitty Kat Angel Rescue, Cat Adoption Foundation and Cats in Crisis. If you need to micrcochip your animal please take a look at the Lost Pets of South Australia for the $10 chip blitz community events where you can get your pet microchipped. AWL, RSPCA, Scruffer Lovers Rescue, Hope for Life Rescue and Holly’s Rescue for Senior Dogs all currently have dogs available for adoption and all have fb pages. We also cannot take on any roosters or male ducks at the moment. Many thanks

15.01.2022 Hi all, this Friday we will be placing a merch order. Get your orders in by Thursday afternoon We have 4 beanies left in stock in black and navy currently and a few mugs left as well. Everything else will need to be ordered in

14.01.2022 Can you find Charlie the pig?

12.01.2022 A lot of people have been asking us for a go fund me page so our Shelter Manager has set one up. Thank you for all of the messages and phone calls offering support during this tough time

12.01.2022 As per our Go Fund Me for the horses we currently have a more urgent matter. I have been taking all of the FL cats for regular Vet appointments to have their vaccinations and health checks. Although all of the cats are in excellent general health, our beloved Venice aged 4 and Gus aged 6 are both in urgent need of dental work with Venice currently being the most urgent with up to 3 tooth extractions. FL simply doesn’t have enough to cover this at the moment so once again I am appealing to our wonderful FL community to help me get these kitties the work they need. A quote from the vet is also attached on the Go Fund Me and we also get a 20% discount rescue rate putting each dental at approx $600. Can you help our 2 kitties become pain free again?

12.01.2022 At 6:37pm our boy Rex crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Rex presented unwell 4 weeks ago and despite the best efforts of our wonderful vet Lucas van Oijen, the heartb...reaking decision was made to lay him to rest. We take comfort in knowing that Rex was surrounded by love from Kim and Kerri as he crossed the bridge. 27/3/2011 - 22/6/2020 See more

12.01.2022 Our Go Fund Me continues as more horses are prepared for adoption. If you have a little to spare and can donate, it’ll be highly appreciated. Money raised goes towards dentals, feet and worming of horses to help make them home ready https://gofund.me/91ff0044

08.01.2022 Hello wonderful followers. We have encountered a few comments about the death of our Robbie and I’d really like to rule these issues out right away. Robbie had and accident in the paddock (not our own) that he was spelling in. This unfortunately resulted in his needing to be euthanized by our vet yesterday afternoon. We make no decisions alone and when this became apparent that he would be put to rest myself and our other senior volunteers were all on site having a discussio...n with our vet Lucas. Coming to terms with/making the ultimate decision for an animals life and well being is never a decision we make easily, or take lightly and I wish it was one we never had to make. But as animal owners (as many of you are) it is a responsibility we take and something we understand when making the choice to share our lives with companion animals. We get the blessing to share the best of their lives but with that comes the day we must part, say our goodbyes, hold our heads high and make the BEST choice for THEM. If we don’t stand by our vets judgement always, why would we ever use him? We trust his decisions. We respect his care and above all we will always act on his professional advice when it comes to the care of our babies. I’m sorry that the death of Robbie has given people a sudden voice to tell us what we could have and should have done better. The simple fact is that we did everything we could and it was time to lay Robbie to rest and end his pain. He is now in the clouds running a muck with our other lost loves We are Fairview Lodge x

07.01.2022 It’s a hard life being a pig Charlie is loving exploring his new home up here at Hillier. After a long morning of working out where he might dig his mud bath he’s ready for a nap

05.01.2022 Many of our regulars would know our girl Josie. Josie is severely frightened of humans and doesn’t like to be touched let alone caught. While we can get her to ...and from the round yard for exercise, getting her in and out of the paddock is next to impossible due to not being able to catch her. This makes it really difficult for when she needs treatment. We have had a few people working with our beautiful girl and are so thankful for the help we have received this far. Our amazing farrier Brett Lowe has been so generous in helping us to get her to the next step, when it came to getting her hooves trimmed Brett could see how scared she was and reached out to do a few sessions with her to get her used to him for when he comes in for routine trims. Over the past two weeks Brett has worked with Josie, coming in to brush her, give her a wash and get her used to him. Today we celebrated with a walk around the property and a trip to the back yard for some grass Thank you Brett, you’re more than just a farrier mate and we are forever grateful

04.01.2022 We are aware of a fire currently burning in Templers. We are available to assist with emergency housing for animals if needed

04.01.2022 Please take note of our new visiting hours. These hours must be strictly adhered too for the safety of our animals and visitors. Visiting outside these days/times is not possible. Many thanks Monday - 10am-4pm Tuesday - 10am-4pm... Wednesday - 9am-1pm Friday - 9am-1pm Saturday/Sunday - 10am-3pm Many thanks for your cooperation

03.01.2022 A Cup Of Coffee Things are tough, 2020 has not been kind to most of us. Jobs have been lost.... Finances have been severely effected. And many, many animals have been abandoned, neglected or left homeless and the strain on shelters at the moment is at a breaking point due to donations drying up. But we battle on, because the animals need us and without us they have no-one but we can’t do it alone. Our donations at 1/4 of what they were at this time last year, yet the calls for assistance have almost doubled and our hearts break every single time we have to say no to an animal in desperate need as we know that this can mean disaster for them - it is not their fault. But luckily things seem to be returning to normal and we Pray that 2020 finishes off being somewhat kinder to us all. We have come across some lovely hay at $6 a bale, which is nearly 1/3rd of what we are currently paying ($15) but we need to secure as many bales as we can there are 400 available. Can you help us? For the cost of a cup of coffee you can feed 1 alpaca or sheep for a week. For 2 cups, you can feed one of our ponies for a week and for the cost of 3 cups of coffee you can supply one of our big horses their weekly hay. So please, next time you sit down for a cuppa, please consider helping an animal in need by donating $6 to buy a bale of hay. Together, we can make a difference.

02.01.2022 Hi all, something a little different from our animal posts. Kerri’s sons car has been stolen. We want to help him get it back. We have followers all over the state and we would like to ask if you could please share Matt’s post so we can help him find his car.

02.01.2022 Can you help? Well we are in and almost settled at our new home in Hillier but it has come at a huge financial cost to us with the physical cost of moving, building pens and the purchase of the property as well as not having as many visitors as we received at Fairview Park. We desperately need hay and have the opportunity to purchase a bulk lot at a significant cost saving than just purchasing individual bales., but the funds are just not available to do so. We are currently ...paying $100 per bale but can get them for $70 each if we buy a minimum of 10. Any help, no matter how small is greatly appreciated. We also offer sponsorships for all of our residents with support starting for as little as $10 per week please contact us to discuss options. If you can help, our banking details are Account Name Fairview Lodge Animal Shelter BSB # 805 050 Account # - 100097015 Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts See more
