Diaz is a very affectionate kitten. He follows you everywhere and wants to be part of a family where he can receive lots of love, attention and pats. One of Diaz's favourite things is food time! He is 100% a foodie which is evident within his big round tummy! Diaz has so much character and personality already; he gets so happy when he sees humans that he jumps up onto his back legs to greet them. He LOVES belly rubs and he will lay on his side and back begging for more.

Meet Ruby – A Sweet and Resilient Cavoodle Looking for Her Forever Home

Ruby is a loving Cavoodle puppy who has been through a lot in her short life. Born with a condition in her left hind leg, she required surgery to correct a Grade IV Medial Luxating Patella. Her condition also involved severe medialization of the tibial tuberosity, muscle atrophy, and abnormalities in the femur and hip. Ruby has already undergone major surgery, followed by several weeks of restricted movement to allow for proper healing.

She has been desexed, fully vaccinated, and is now recovering well from her surgeries. Ruby has had post-surgery X-rays, but she isn’t completely in the clear yet. Between the ages of 14 and 16 months, she will need another round of X-rays and further surgery to remove a pin from her leg and a surgery to further correct her patella. These procedures will need to be specifically completed at North Richmond Vet Hospital.

Her future family should understand that additional medical care and costs are involved, and there is a small possibility that her left hind leg may need to be amputated if further surgeries don't fully resolve the issue. However, her current treatment plan is designed to save and strengthen her leg.

Ruby has been fostered in a caring home throughout her recovery. She is a highly affectionate and playful pup who adores human company. After weeks of restricted activity, Ruby is eager to run, play, and explore, but her foster family has noted that she can be a bit anxious—a trait likely linked to her confinement during recovery.

While Ruby is incredibly sweet and friendly, she does have a few quirks. She tends to get jealous if other dogs are receiving attention and would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention. For this reason, Ruby would do best in a household without young children, though older teenagers may be a good fit.

Despite her challenges, Ruby is a happy, bouncy dog, but she still limps on her bad leg due to muscle atrophy and a low pain tolerance. With time and care, her muscle strength should improve. She will also benefit from ongoing training and obedience classes to help with her social skills and manage any remaining anxiety.

Ruby is a wonderful, lively companion, and she’s now ready for a loving forever home that understands her medical needs and is prepared to provide the care she deserves and she will need to be a home with access to both indoors and outdoors.

If you’re looking for an affectionate, playful dog who has overcome the odds and still faces her challenges with resilience, Ruby could be the perfect addition to your family.

Buffin is a lovely girl that came into DCH needing extensive vet care for her breathing and skin. The total cost of these operations and treatments has come to $3600 so we are seeking sponsorship to help us cover these costs.

Lincoln is a sweet boy who has come very far since he has been in foster care.

He was found as a stray and was in very poor condition. Since being in care he has really grown in personality. He is a fantastic dog to have her own home he is house trained and crate trained, loves to play with squeaky toys and loves to play with dogs
He absolutely adores people and he’s extremely gentle around children.
He is currently doing rehab hydrotherapy one session a week, and it has helped strengthen his muscles so that he can increase his exercise.
If you can offer Lincoln the special home he needs please contact us to meet him..

His vet fees have come to $1,007 and we are seeking sponsorship to cover some of these additional expenses.

Chloe is a very bouncy, fun loving little girl who can’t keep still
She loves attention and is happy to snuggle up with you on the lounge
Chloe had a very bad start to life as she was an outside dog only and was subsequently abandoned by her previous owners
As a result of this, Chloe is not house trained and would benefit from some form of formal training
Chloe is very selective in the dog friends that she chooses to make however she loves everybody. She would be happier in a single dog family where she has your undivided attention Chloe has undergone BOAS surgery due to genetic breathing issues. The surgery was a success. We are seeking sponsorship to assist with the additional $1,700 in vet costs for this procedure

Doug is a gentle boy and lives with a 5 year old which he enjoys, he loves to attend tea parties with teddies but also likes to follow his foster dad to the shed to work on the car. Doug needs a home where he will be included in the daily life of his family, he has alot of love to give in his senior years and deserves to be loved back.

Doug is in care in the Hawkesbury Area 2756

This beautiful little girl was a naughty puppy and ate something she shouldn't have. A day after coming into care with her siblings it became apparent something wasn't right with her and a vet check and xrays revealed a foreign, suspected wooden, object stuck in her intestines.

She is going in for surgery to remove the object and hopefully there is no major internal damage. Lilly will hopefully be back with her foster carers after a few days at the vets.

Lilly's vet fees will be between $1,500-2,000. If you can assist with sponsoring any of her surgery fees that would be very appreciated.

*Thanks so much to the dozens of donors who generously gave to help cover Betty's vet fees. Her costs have now been fully covered*

All the Animals that come to DCH are in need of care but some much more than others. This gorgeous girl is Betty and she came into our care from the local council shelter.

We are unsure how Betty came to have these wounds but the vets have suggested a dog attack. Betty has required surgery, blood tests, 2 X Rays and a one night stay with fluids.

Betty's vet treatment has come to $1200 so far and we are seeking donations from our supporters to help us with this cost.

If you would like to donate please see the links below.

Our primary focus is to get Betty the medical treatment she needs and to ensure she is returned to full health.

Lucky Betty found a caring home!
