24.01.2022 Please take extra care with your 4 legged doggo mates and 2 legged little people at Woodcroft Farm Reserve, Pimpala Road (opposite Geoff Merrill Wines). Bait ha...s been reported found near a tree on the path to the rotunda. I've had a quick scout of the area this afternoon and not seen any further baits, but the one reported was dropped near a tree. This is a terrible act in our local community putting not just dogs, but other wildlife and our kids at risk. If you see anything, please report to Crime Stoppers South Australia on 1800 333 000 or City of Onkaparinga 8384 0666.

Now is the time to start thinking ahead - -Do you have enough shade in your back yard? -Do you have spare wa...ter bowls? -Can you bring your pets inside? -Are you going to be home? If not, how will you prepare you pets to survive the heat? Some handy things to do include: Freeze water bottles and icecream containers with water For rabbits and guinea pigs, frozen oranges and carrots make a great refreshing treat -Wet towels to lay on No exercising you dogs - not in the morning or late afternoon - the ground becomes very hot and their coping mechanisms are reduced in consecutive heat days If you are at all worried - give your veterinarian a call! 9639 7744

10.01.2022 Grass seed season is upon us! These pesky little seeds cause all sorts of trouble when they embed themselves into pets ears, eyes, noses, toes and anywhere else...! How can you avoid this? Keep pets hair short and well groomed, avoid walking your pet in areas where you see grass seeds and thoroughly check your pets coat everyday to remove any seeds. If you are concerned about your pet our friendly team are always here to help, phone us on 81858000 See more

10.01.2022 Snake alert! This photo was snapped just the other day at the O’Sullivan Beach boat ramp. Now that the weather is warming up, the snakes are on the move. Fortun...ately most snakes are fairly docile and want to avoid pets and their people. It’s important to give snakes plenty of space. Unfortunately pets tend to get themselves into trouble when they purposely try to interact with snakes, snakebites can often be fatal so it’s important to seek veterinary attention ASAP if you think your pet may have been bitten.

10.01.2022 **URGENT HELP IS NEEDED** We have recently been made aware of an application for the development of two massive breeding kennels in South Australia! The...se two applications are for containment of up to THREE HUNDRED.....YES.......300 BREEDING DOGS!!!! These applications are currently open for public review and we NEED your help to oppose the applications for development! But we only have until 4pm AEDT on THIS WEDNESDAY 11th November 2020 to get all the emails in! ****WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP***** 1. Send an email to [email protected] 2. You MUST title the email "Objection to Development Applications 312/311/2020 and 312/353/2020" 3. You can either copy and paste the email we have drafted below and in the comments, or tell them in your own words why you don't want ANOTHER puppy factory being built. 4. Sign off with your FULL NAME - we want the council to know that these are genuine emails of concern and opposition to the development. We only have two days to get as many submissions as we can in to let the Adelaide Plains Council know that we do not want another puppy factory making dogs lives miserable! Should you wish to view these applications they can be found at https://www.apc.sa.gov.au//applications-on-public-notifica COPY AND PASTE THE BELOW TEXT INTO AN EMAIL TO [email protected] Dear Mr Jacks, I am writing to you to express my objection to the following planned development applications that have been lodged with the Adelaide Plains Council: 312/311/2020 and 312/353/2020 I note that these applications are for the construction of 114 dog kennels with the aim of containing up to 300 dogs combined, along with construction of detached dwellings. I am sure you are an animal lover yourself so would understand that dogs are companion animals and need positive and regular human interaction in order to thrive - they should never be kept in cages like those proposed and forced to live in the elements - especially the extreme temperatures that are experienced in Two Wells where these developments are intended. I object to these developments for a number of reasons: 1. These developments are the definition of Puppy Factory Farming - the clear intention of these developments is to breed dogs in huge number for financial gain. I know of no ethical dog breeder who would even consider breeding this huge amount of dogs as they wouldn't possibly be able to care adequately for them all. 2. Puppy Farmed dogs are very often denied adequate food, water, shelter and bedding. Their veterinary needs are also often disregarded. Their mental health and stimulation is almost always disregarded, and with such a huge number of breeding dogs they will be deprived of companionship, positive social interaction and adequate physical exercise. 3. There are already am excess amount of dogs available in South Australia, with the RSPCA, AWL and the hundreds of smaller rescue organisations finding themselves full to the brim with perfectly adoptable dogs. The proposal of breeding more dogs in such an intensive manner is only going to contribute to the already massive issue at hand. Tens of thousands of dogs are euthanased each year in Australia as a result of over breeding, which is absolutely disgraceful and should not be allowed to happen. I firmly believe these proposed developments will only contribute to this ever growing problem. 4. The breeds that are commonly found in puppy factories are often the breeds with the highest care requirements and largest number of health problems. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Poodles, British Bulldogs etc etc are commonly found in puppy factories and often live a life a life of misery as a result of inadequate breeding research and veterinary care. 5. The puppies that are born in puppy factories can be prone to behavioural and medical issues later in life due to poor social interaction and vet care,and have a very good chance of ending up in a shelter as a result. However, the breeding dogs that are used and abused season after season are the ones that suffer most - kept in the same cage their whole life with nothing but misery and their puppies get taken away from them before they are forcibly impregnated again and again. This is no life,it is pure misery. And with the numbers being proposed in these development applications I am seriously concerned that the basic needs of the dogs will be completely neglected. Please consider my opposition to these developments seriously. I know puppy factories aren't illegal, but I also know they are not ethical. As an animal lover and owner I vehemently oppose these two developments and would prefer the council encourage ethical dog rescue and rehoming instead. Kind Regards,

09.01.2022 Our Lonsdale shelter is in desperate need of towels! Can you help? They can be old, worn or even have a few holes, we're not fussy! They'll all be useful Plu...s it's the purr-fect excuse to upgrade your ones at home. AND if you don’t have towels we would LOVE any large plastic containers (think ice cream or yoghurt size). Thank you! You can drop them at the following locations: Lonsdale Shelter, 25 Meyer Road, Lonsdale Stepney Office, 16 Nelson st Stepney Any RSPCA op shop (locations can be found here: www.rspcasa.org.au/opshops

06.01.2022 We have received this message from Forestry SA - please be careful if you take your dogs for walks in Kuitpo Forest!

06.01.2022 Despite a global pandemic, it still looks like the year will end with a bang with fireworks in lots of places tonight. So it might be smart to brace yourself fo...r a last minute pet panic pandemic. Yes, New Years Eve might be a party on two legs (even if you’re not going out), but on four, it might just be the most frightening night of the year. In fact, the number of lost and injured pets increases by 400%. But there are ways to manage the fear brought on by fireworks and it’s starts now! Here’s what you can do... 1. Go for a solid walk (or run) in the late afternoon/early evening if it’s cool enough to do so. This exercise lowers anxiety levels, releases relaxing endorphins and makes them more inclined to sleep. 2. Bring pets inside. Those fireworks bangs will make them want to bolt for it so a fence will often be no match and tying them up only causes more injuries. 3. Put blinds down, lights on and put music on. Research has shown that classical music is best. This is all about blocking out those stressful sights and sounds. 4. Put a load of washing on. Preferably a long cycle. These familiar and repetitive vibrations from the washing machine drown out the vibrations from the fireworks that are a huge source of stress. 5. Give them a place to hide. Dogs will want to ‘den’ so a pile of cushions, pillows or old mattresses they can lie in will make them feel safe. What about cats? While they don’t enjoy the fireworks, they’re more inclined to seek shelter rather than take flight like dogs. Keep them inside and they’ll love you forever. Good luck tonight. Thanks for the support in 2020 and Happy(er) New Year for 2021! I think we all deserve it...

01.01.2022 Does yours roll?...

01.01.2022 In June, RSPCA inspectors were called to rescue a one-year-old Sharpei who police had found trapped inside a faeces-filled laundry. They could hear barking as s...oon as they arrived at the house, and knew there was no time to waste. They found poor Buddha abandoned in the filthy laundry with no access to water. He eagerly lapped up the fresh water the inspectors offered him for several minutes without stopping, indicating he was severely dehydrated. Back at RSPCA’s Lonsdale shelter, the vet team gave Buddha a thorough check-up and discovered he was suffering from entropian - a painful eye condition, in which one or both eyelids fold inwards. They soon performed surgery to correct this condition, significantly easing Buddah’s discomfort. Buddah found a warm, safe place to stay with a volunteer foster career while he recovered. This soon turned into a forever home when his foster dad realised he couldn’t bear to part with him! Buddah is now thriving in this comfortable and loving environment. We want to give more animals like Buddha a second chance at life but we need your help. This Thursday 1 October, every donation will be DOUBLED, thanks to our dollar-matching partners. Please Give to Get Them Home, double your impact and help animals like Buddha >> https://bit.ly/36eQJOh
