12.01.2022 Our Member of Parliament for Western Victoria in the Upper House, Stuart Grimley MP, has made a very generous donation to cover veterinary costs for our hard-working Maremma dogs. We appreciate his strong and continuing support for the project.

12.01.2022 No matter what dog breed you get, you should make sure you do your research first.

11.01.2022 Happy International Dog Day!! Today we celebrate how incredible dogs of all shapes and sizes are. Did you know that dogs have a huge application in conservation of different species? Maremmas and other guardian dog breeds are being used in different parts of Australia and the world to protect different species. There are also detection dogs that can sniff out endangered or invasive species. Dogs are amazing. Check out other conservation dog projects online at places like Zoos Victoria and Canidae Development.

01.01.2022 Happy happy 3rd birthday Mezzo. You have grown up into a incredible lead guardian keeping the penguins safe. You are such a sweet, hard working, water baby. Last year he got a puppy and half brother (Oberon) for his birthday. I don’t think we are going to be able to top that. Please join us in wishing this amazing boy a happy birthday. Mezzo is proudly sponsored by major project sponsors PETstock Warrnambool who provide all food for the project, The Vet Group - Pet Care who provide all vet care, Deakin University, Warrnambool Campus, Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village Warrnambool & Warrnambool City Council
