21.01.2022 PLEASE note that the only in-kind donations we currently require are clean towels. We kindly ask that you do not bring any other in-kind donations to Lort Smith at this time as we have been overwhelmed with items. Lort Smith spends approximately $2,000 per month disposing of unwanted donations and we would much rather spend this money on animals in need. Our website is updated regularly and lists which items, if any, we have a need for. We ask that our community of supporte...rs check this page before bringing items to Lort Smith - lortsmith.com/in-kind. Please check with other shelters and rescue groups should you have items you wish to donate. We appreciate and thank you for thinking of Lort Smith. #thankyou #inkind

19.01.2022 Heidi has been savagely attacked by a dog twice in her life. The first time, she lost an eye. This time, she lost her spirit. Her extensive injuries included a large wound on her back, a dislocated hip and deep bite marks all over her tiny body. These, coupled with her existing medical issues; the loss of an eye, being lame from a torn cruciate ligament, and having a mouth full of rotten teeth were unbelievably not our biggest concern. It was her emotional state. She just sa...t at the back of her enclosure with her head down. She did not wag her tail once the entire time she was in hospital, no matter how much attention or cuddles she received. It was heartbreaking to see this tiny dog look so defeated. It will warm your heart to know that Lort Smith mended Heidi, not just physically but mentally as well. You’ll learn more about her journey in the coming weeks. With summer approaching, our busiest time of year, many more animals like Heidi will come into our care. Please donate today so we can continue to provide world-class holistic services for animals in need. https://bit.ly/2IkRwn0 #lortsmith #heidi #donate #christmasappeal #endofyearappeal #essentialservice

19.01.2022 Heidi arrived at Lort Smith with an extensive list of injuries resulting from a severe dog attack. Her experience left her with a large wound on her back, a dislocated hip and deep bite marks all over her tiny body. As soon as Heidi came into our care, our team immediately got to work administering pain relief, cleaning her wounds and creating a plan for the surgeries she would need once she became stable. It’s hard to imagine how an animal like Heidi must feel when they come... into our care. Sore, scared, unsure of who all these strange people are. Of course, our immediate concerns when Heidi first came in were to minimise her pain and determine the best plan of action to treat her numerous and extensive wounds. The most pressing was a large gaping flap on her upper back, as well as the multiple deep puncture wounds on her throat and rump. We cleaned, sutured and bandaged her wounds, placed her on fluids and monitored her around-the-clock in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a few days to make sure she would heal.
