20.01.2022 Beautiful Lucy was surrendered to SCAR late last week with a story that many may find hard to read. Her previous owner contacted us desperately seeking our help for poor Lucy. When Lucy's owner had to move homes due to unforeseen circumstances and couldn't take Lucy with her she rehomed her to someone that she trusted would look after Lucy. Unbeknownst to her, these new owners saw Lucy as nothing but a means to make some money and Lucy’s life became an endless cycle of const...ant breeding. 5 years later Lucy's original owner received a text to say that they needed to give Lucy back to her and if she didn't take her back then they would 'dispose' of her with a bullet! So her original owner picked her up at once and was devastated to see how tired and sad her old friend looked. Unable to keep Lucy with her once more but determined to give her the loving home she deserved, her previous owner reached out to SCAR and we took Lucy into our care. The signs of being overbred are clear when you look at Lucy but she will be desexed at SCAR shortly to avoid her having litters ever again! SCAR has also created a plan for Lucy to ensure that she has no other medical issues and will be doing blood tests, x-rays and other tests. Lucy deserves to live a life without fear or pain, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that she gets that life. Despite her past, Lucy is the friendliest dog, she wags her tail and looks at everyone around her with such love and trust. She has not been broken by what has been done to her, but she still needs a lot of care to help her on her way. If you are able to, please support SCAR today by donating via the link below so that we can help Lucy find her second chance. https://donate.mycause.com.au/charity/25182 #donate #secondchance www.secondchanceanimalrescue.com.au ... because they all deserve one!

19.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who donated to the care of our beloved Tiny Tim! We thought we’d show you just how much those donations have already started to change Tiny Tim’s little world for the better! While still very much in recovery from his cat flu, Tim is a little bundle of non-stop, on the go energy! He spends his days endlessly climbing the walls of his little cat enclosure, exploring and adventuring. He zooms across the floor as fast as his tiny legs will carry him and b...ats his toys and scrunched up paper around like a teeny tiny adorable soccer player! And that purring machine? Even when he’s running around playing, that purr is like a constant sweet little motor. His meow may still be a bit of a squeak, and he still has quite a bit of healing to do, but thanks to your kind and generous donations Tiny Tim is so much closer to the happy and loving home that he deserves!

03.01.2022 It’s the end of another crazy week here at SCAR and in the last two weeks alone we’ve had 42 cats and kittens in need of a second chance come through our shelter doors! That’s 42 cat’s who’ve ALL received a vet check-up, have been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and flea/worm treated. And that’s just the standard vet care some of these animals have come in with cat flu, or other illnesses, some that have needed extra procedures such as dentals/ blood tests/ lump removals ...and several come in with broken bones after sustaining nasty injuries, with many requiring ongoing treatments. Your generous support helps us to continue rescuing and caring for our animals in need. That’s why we’re bringing back our Five Dollar Fridays! $5 doesn't sound like it could do much, but the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference to those in need. Donate Today: https://donate.mycause.com.au/charity/25182 All donations over $2 are tax deductible!
