25.01.2022 This clever little cookie is Liesel. As slender as a supermodel and smart as a scholar Liesel is looking for that perfect match that will shower her with adoration but still be able to keep up with her quick wit. Being the brainiac that she is, Liesel gets bored quickly and even though she is great at finding things to occupy herself, training and learning is her passion. If you have the time and experience to help this lovely dog reach her full potential then follow the li...nk to express your interest in adopting! animalaid.org.au/sale-adoption-eoi/

Unfortunately she has been with us for a little while as it takes her a bit of time to become confident with new people. We would like to go to a quite home and no small kids. Her new family would need to come to meet her a couple of times to build a bond. She is very fussy but the right family will have a lovely girl to join their family. Source Number: BR101062

19.01.2022 Ok folks, Let me introduce myself, I'm Bronx. I've lived a pretty rough life up until now. I used to run with a pretty rough crowd - you see, I haven't had an owner for a long time, so life on the streets is all I really remember. I got on a few fights during this time and the vets at Animal Aid have discovered I have a thing called FIV. ... Now, I don't know what FIV is...but to tell you the truth I've never felt better in my life! Here I get a comfy bed, regular meals and lots of pats (which I secretly really enjoy). The girls here tell me I need to live and indoor only life due to the fact that I'm a white cat apparently the sun can cause damage to my nose and ears I'm very comfortable with this idea cause I just want to find a home I can call my own. I spent some time out in a foster home and boy oh boy did I LOVE it there! So far not a single person has made any appointments to meet me. I am so looking forward to finding my new home. I will make my new owner the centre of my world. I'm cleaning myself up everyday (I was very rough looking when I first arrived). As nice as it is here when the Animal Aid staff go home I'm very lonely. So please, come meet me or if you can't adopt me could you please share my profile.

15.01.2022 Gorgeous Kitt has come into our care and at 11 years old this is just not where he wants to be. Kitt came to us as a chipped stray, this boy used to be a loved member of someone's family, but sadly they didn't want to reclaim him. Kitt is super sweet and will need a very quiet home with no kids. At his age he's searching for a place where he can feel safe and be allowed to explore at his own pace. He does have some dietary requirements to help support his kidney function and... keep him feeling fit and healthy. Can you offer Kitt some security? If so please give our cattery team a call (please do not email) and discuss a time to come in and meet him - adoptions are being done strictly by appointment only.

15.01.2022 Benjamin is as cute as a button. This little rabbit is always on the go and will need lots of toys and stimulation to keep him entertained, he cannot be left in a hutch in the backyard on his own. He craves attention and after a day of flat out playing he will happily snuggle on your lap for a cuddle. We are sure with the right bonding process this young man would love to have a bunny wife to spend his days with. Benjamin is clean and mostly uses his litter tray so cleaning up after him is a breeze. If you are interested in this young man please call the cattery to discuss his needs further 03() 9739 0300 ext 2.

11.01.2022 Animal Aid in East Gippsland has just received a much needed donation of a new industrial washing machine thanks to the fundraising efforts of Mel Newcomen - Senior Speech Pathologist at Think Play Thrive Speech Pathology. Back in July, as Victoria was in the grip of the start of the second wave of COVID 19, Mel got busy sewing hundreds of 3 layer quality masks and sold them all raising just over $4000. Thank you so much Mel for taking the initiative and putting together such... a fruitful fundraiser! We would also like to thank the Better Electrical team in Lakes Entrance for supporting us with a very generous discount. Lastly we would like to recognise the East Gippsland community for getting behind this project and showing your support for Animal Aid's mission. I was able to use my sewing skills to raise money for a very important animal welfare service in our town. I am an animal lover and my very special kelpie-cross Sam (pictured) came from Animal Aid, so we are delighted to be able to give something back. Sam has been a loyal, calm and special friend to me my family and some of my speech pathology clients over the years - Mel Newcomen

She has a lovely rumbly purr and loves laps and curling up between us on the sofa. Thank you."

If your pet shows these symptoms, consult a vet immediately. Keep your vet’s contact details handy at all times.
