22.01.2022 Meet Brover, also known as Rover, Rovie, Roverino! She is affectionate, playful, goofy and loving. She spends most of her days snoozing away but loves to get out for a couple of short walks a day to smell everything and stretch her legs. She loves other people and will happily receive pats from anyone who will give them to her. She also happily will take herself off to chew on her favourite toys!... She is a beautifully natured dog, with a lot of character! She will keep you entertained with her expressions and her snoring, and she will make the best companion. Rovie is very food motivated and will do anything for a treat, which makes her training easier! She has been working really hard on her training with her foster family so we'd want to keep that up. She'll need a home with no other dogs, cats or children, and ideally, a family who is not working away from home 9-5, 5 days a week. We're looking for a forever family that is committed to her training, and building her confidence around other dogs and the outside world. She has come a long way, but she still has some way to go. She loves routine, so someone that can commit to some consistency would be great for her. We love that what she loves the most is getting cosy with her people. Second to that is sleeping in the sun and eating treats! She's a simple pleasures kind of gal! You can find out more & apply here: https://homelesshounds.com.au/animal/brover/.

21.01.2022 [Cat Rescue Story Part Two: Squiggles & Giggles] About four weeks after we got Pearl, we received a call to say more kittens had popped up in the same area as Sammy and Crystal. The kittens were near death lying dehydrated in the sun, without their mum anywhere to be found... Squiggles had ants crawling all over him. The vet nurses at @Heathmont Animal Hospital had to bathe & handpick hundreds of fleas off the kittens (swipe to see pics ). The boys were pumped full of fluid...s at the vet and had to be syringe fed. Why are we sharing this with you? Because it's a happy ending! They had a beautiful surrogate mum, Daisy who, along with their foster carer Leeanne, looked after them until they were ready to be rehomed. Squiggles & Giggles have now been re-homed, together! Sleeping easy, right next to each other

21.01.2022 This July is National Desexing Month.

So, please let's all do the right thing! Please follow the link below to the National Desexing Network, where you'll be able to find participating Vets who are offering ...the service at a discounted cost. https://ndn.org.au/desexing-directory

20.01.2022 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: Benny - English Staffordshire Bull Terrier Hello! Im Benny. I am a beautiful, loving, Staffy boy, who is looking for a household without kids.... I dont mean to brag but how pretty is my face everyone always goes on about my symmetrical white patch. But I think my socks are my best feature. I love chilling at home, sleeping inside, hanging with my hoomans, going on car rides, and I feel safest when I keep to a routine. Training is very fun for me. I am eager to please and my foster family think I am going to be a really good fit for the right family. Susan from Homeless Hounds called me very adaptable which makes me feel pretty chuffed. Ive got some cool tricks which I cannot wait to show you I sit before crossing the road, I am great at spin and paw, plus tell me to go to my bed and Ill do it! Of course, I also know the basics sit, wait, drop, etc easy peasy! However, I do need to work on my lead training when I see another dog. Well get there if you want to put in the time with me. I dont need to sleep in your room by the way but if you would like me to join you, Id be more than happy to keep your toes or head, warm. So one thing I want you to know is that I dont like the rain so please dont leave me outside in the cold Melbourne weather, Id much prefer to be safe and warm inside. Also, Im sensitive to the grass, so unlike most of my canine friends, I prefer Astroturf to play on. My forever family needs to be home more than away, Im not a fan of being left alone for long periods of time. Just for the record I consider 4-5 hours a long time!!! I need to be the only animal in the home, so if you have other cats, dogs, animals in your family Im sorry but Im not your man.

His foster describes him as 70kgs of big boofhead love and says that he is a massive softy. ... Odin loves just about any activity he can do with his humans, so far his favourites are riding in the car, swimming and exploring the world. Odin is doing a great job learning to walk nicely on lead, but he’ll need his new humans to continue this training.

For this reason, he is best suited to a home without kids or cats. Overall, Odin is such a special guy with a huge amount of love to give. We’re looking for a family that is committed to his leash training and can provide a home where his days will be interesting, his nights comfortable and where he won’t be lonely.

Last week Luca drew a picture for Ziggy to tell him what a great dog he is, and on a walk earlier this week, Ziggy gave Luca (via the letterbox) a letter and a present! Lockdown is made easier with great neighbours!

He loves his food, which will help with training! He is really young at heart and will be interested in anything you do. He went to the beach for the first time earlier and even if he is a bit sceptical about the waves, he seems to enjoy being near the ocean, but there is nothing he loves more his hum...an. Toby never barks unless someone tries to enter the property or because it’s past bedtime (9pm) and he is tired of you not letting him sleep He has an obsession with cars and loves any road trip. He is a life be in it boy and everything is exciting but the excitement wears off quickly and then he is just happy to be lying on your foot.

10.01.2022 [Cat Rescue Story Part One: Pearl] Since March this year, we have been working on rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming about a dozen cats from the same area. It's been an emotional journey, and we want to share the story with our community. Part One is the story of our super-mum, Pearl. ... We got a call in March that two kittens needed rescuing, they were tiny and needed help. We couldnt find their mum, Pearl, anywhere. We took the kittens, Sammie and Crystal, to a foster carer, but they had not weaned so really needed their mum. It took a bit of time, but we managed to find her and reconnect them. Pearl cared for her own kittens until they were weaned & rehomed. She then reared another five kittens as her own. The smallest was 180 grams when we rescued them. We, sadly, lost two of the five kittens but were able to save Prince Charlie, Prince Alexander & Duchess Fergie. Who are now also all rehomed. Once Pearl had raised all the kittens, we made the tough decision with the vets to remove her ears (swipe through to see her pre-removal ears). They were pre-cancerous and she has been through enough without having to worry about that down the track. Pearl has now been adopted by her foster family, after everything she and her kittens have been through, her foster family just could not let her go. -- Thank you Pearl, you have left a lasting impression on the HH team. She was my angel cat. I could not have kept those kittens alive without her. - Colette, Homeless Hounds. Tune back on Sunday for Part Two.

She’s doing great in her training and knows all basic commands such as ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘paw’ -however, needs some further help with walking on the lead when other dogs are around. She has been working really hard on her training with her foster family and is making progress, so her new home will need to be committed to continuing with her training. She’s a snacky girl and her love of food has proven very helpful in her training progress. Bella is very polite, obedient, and gentle with people and enjoys human company. She prefers not to be left on her own and can find herself feeling anxious if left at home, so ideally you will be someone who works from home or lives in a home where there will usually be someone there. She’ll also need a home with no other dogs or cats, as she can become anxious around other animals.ve of food has proven very helpful in her training progress.

08.01.2022 Meet Rocky! Rocky is a handsome young man who enjoys a scratch or to be brushed. Although still quite a shy fella, he wants all the love and affection. He loves his food and is quite happy to spend the day just watching the world go by. Sadly Rocky wasn’t in a home that gave him any attention and he is just starting to learn how wonderful it is to feel safe and loved. Rocky would need a nice quiet home with no small children. Older kids are fine. He has lived with other cats... and dogs so he would be ok in a home with other gentle animals. Lots of love and patience are the key to winning this gorgeous boy’s heart and he will return that love in spades.

02.01.2022 [Cat Rescue Story Part Three: Vincent (Van Gough) & Pablo (Picasso)] These two darling cats were completely petrified when the Homeless Hounds team rescued them. They were the last cats that we were remaining in the same area we found Pearl, Squiggles, Giggles, Sammy and Crystal. They were so scared they wouldn't even accept belly rubs or pats. ... Our white friend Vincent was being spoon-fed when we first got him to make sure he was able to eat without his greedy guts ginger mate eating his meals. He also, at the advice of our vet, had to have his ears removed for health reasons - hence the name! A lot of love has gone into rehabilitating these cats, and they are in foster care at the moment. Swipe to see how much the boys love belly rubs now that they've been loved and cared for!!!! Thank you to everyone who has helped us rescue & rehome all of these beautiful cats. It has been an emotional journey, and we could not have done it without our HH community. In particular, a huge thank you to Kirsten MacLeod from Stringybark Wildlife Shelter, the Heathmont Animal Hospital, Leeanne & all the amazing vet nurses.
