Success Stories
Dog Rescue Newcastle has many success stories, which remind us of what a difference volunteers can make.

SNUFFY

Snuffy

Snuffy experienced dental problems and mistreatment until he was rescued and taken into foster care. He was then adopted by a very kind and loving couple in Tasmania. They were so happy when he arrived they wrote a poem to welcome him to his forever home. Snuffy is now enjoying all the comfort and cuddles which every dog deserves.

SOPHIE
Sophie2Sophie1
Gorgeous little Sophie was taken from a local pound, just before her fate was to be sealed. She has proven to be a truely good save. Sophie would be one of the most loveble little dogs I have had in foster care. When Sophie arrived she was limping badly on her back leg, and could not straighten the leg or put weight on it. A visit to the vet showed that she had been serverly kicked and had her hip displaced by about an inch and a half. We have since had her operated on and now she is on the road to recovery. Sophie now lives in a loving home where she is treated like a princess and gets all the love and care she deserves.

SOXIE
Soxie 2

Soxie 1

Meet our lovely little "Soxie" - a small, female x mini pincher. She is a charming, well-mannered little girl who will fit into any household. Soxie is quiet and affectionate, she craves human company, so much so that she follows her carer around the house and even sits and waits patiently while the shower gets a good scrub (Like some men, she likes watching housework being done... haha). Soxie loves cuddles and gets along with other dogs and cats.

She runs around and prances like a little princess. She is a wonderful little dog, who deserves the loving family of which she is now a part.

JOEY
joey 1

Let me see, how can I best describe my Little Joey? I know, in one word...GORGEOUS. Wow, what a precious little man he is, all 2.4kgs of him.

Joey doesn't realise how small he is, he thinks he is a Rotti, and chases the big dogs and cats around the yard. As a watch dog, he would eat any intruder (He would never bite, he is all bark). He barks his head off at anyone coming into the yard, sometimes I have to hold his mouth closed, just to shut him up. He is so full of confidence he is amazing. But at other times all he wants to do is be carried around all day, and cries if you leave his side. I call him my 'Paris Hilton Dog' - he would be very happy being carried around town in a shoulder bag, which I am sure used to happen with him.

Joey looks to be a 'designer dog' - possibly a cross of a Pom and a Silky, he has a gorgeous cream and grey colored coat. He enjoys a gentle brush and a bath and seems to be a "one person" dog.

BUFFY
buffy 1

Buffy was saved from Blacktown Pound. She is very shy, but comes out of her shell when she gets to know you. She seems a little frighten of men and cowers if you try to touch her head, but we are working on this issue. Buffy is only 3.1 kgs, she is tiny and petite. She loves coming into the house although she will not jump onto the lounge, unless invited. She is house trained and a really nice little girl.
Buffy would be happy with a small companion dog, but not a big dog, as she does not like large dogs. She is also not fussy about cats and sometimes gives mine a little run. She is very alert and will be a good little watch dog, letting you know if anyone is around. Buffy loves a brush, but always looks as if she needs a comb, (she is always having a bad hair day, bless her heart).

GEORGIA
Georgia1

Georgia, or Georgie Girl, is a delightful small female chihuahua dog. This is Georgia with the eight week old pups, she is not much bigger than them. Georgie is dog and cat friendly and actually had to be put in with the cats at the pound, because she was so tiny she could get out of the dog pens. She is a ball of energy and a little bit bossy with the other dogs if they try to gain your attention when she is having a nurse. She loves human companionship and is very happy to snuggle up on your knee and sleep. If Georgia wants to join you, she will find her way under any obstacle to find you. Some one who knows the personality of a Chi will understand what I am refering to. Georgie is an inside dog and will need to be the center of attention.

TESSA
Tessa1

Gorgeous little Tessa is a tiny little long haired Chi, who came into rescue with two delightful little pups: Tammy and Teena. She was no longer wanted and her pups were threatened with drowning. How anyone would not want this adorable little pet is beyond comprehension, and then to say they were going to drown her pups... some people are just unbelievable. She is just gorgeous and so are her pups. Tessa is a little frightened at first when she meets strangers, but she soon warms up when she does not feel threatened. She loves to sit on your knee and have cuddles and a little game.

TEENA
Teena1

This is our gorgeous little Teena, and what a precious little thing she is. Teena is a female chihuahua long haired puppy and she is a ball of energy, love and affection. Teena loves to cuddle up into your neck and will not be ignored if you are sitting down - she will climb up the lounge chair, just like a kitten. She digs her claws in and climbs, she is amazing to watch, then she climbes up your chest and snuggles into your neck. She is an absolute sweetheart and I will be sorry to see her leave. Teena and her sister Tammie, are little terriers when they play together, they sound like Mearcats, they are so funny.

TAMMIE
Tammie01

You have the pleasure of seeing our gorgeous little Tammie. And what a little dynamo this baby girl is. She is as wild as a "march hare", not much fazes this little one, she is a ball of energy and is scared of nothing. Tammie and her sister Teena were going to be drowned in a bucket, before rescue took them. Look into those loving little eyes and wonder why someone would even think of doing such a rotten thing. There loss is our gain. There is a picture of them here with their mum, Tessa. Mum is lovely quiet little girl, and their father was also a Chihuhua. This little angel is now settled in her forever home.

MISSY
Missy1

This is our precious Missy, a Cattle X Staffy. Missy came to rescue's notice when there was a report of a dog being left in labour from 4am in the morning until 3pm in the afternoon, when rescue was finally notified to come and take her away.

Missy had passed one pup but was unable to deliver any more. She had been left for so long in agony and distress that the Vet was not sure that she would survive a Caesarean operation. Missy did survive, but unfortunately, most of her nine pups did not. The stress and toxins took their toll on most of the pups.

She is one of the most adorable natured dogs you would ever want to meet. This dog has no faults, even though she was starved, neglected and treated with untold cruelty.

Our precious little girl has now found her Forever Home. She will live out her life walking along the beach, sleeping in her new family’s bed and generally being cared for like a princess. And after what she has been through, she deserves her life of luxury.

A few tears were shed when this girl walked out the door, but they were tears of joy as well as of sadness. Missy left her foster home in beautiful condition, a far cry from how she arrived.

Pictured are her two surviving pups, Little Bull and Bear. These poor brothers were eight weeks old at the time and were lucky to survive the entire ordeal their mother had to go through. Luckily they are now safe in their Forever Homes, being cared for, treasured and treated like they deserve.

SUSIE
Susie

Susie is the most adorable, adaptable little treasure you would ever meet. This poor little angel was taken to the pound heavily pregnant and with no one to care for her. When our carer visited the pound, this poor little darling was giving birth to her pups all by herself. She was frightened, confused and had nobody to care of her. But not for long. Our carer quickly volunteered to take this girl and her babies. Susie has proven to be the most loving dog and mother. Her pups are big, healthy and well looked after. Susie’s babies are just three weeks old in this picture. There are three boys and one little girl.

All of these dogs were rescued and rehomed and are now living in a safe, loving home.(Left to right: Pauly, Harry, Billy, Chelsea).

BLAKE
Blake 1

Wow, how about this for a handsome young man? This is Blake and he is a merle coloured Koolie. This breed is one of the most intelligent dogs in the world, smarter than some people.

Blake and his brother were dumped at a local pound, where they were saved by rescue. They originally were given to us only as a stop-over, until Koolie Rescue could take them. But they were so well behaved and lovable they were invited to stay with their carer.

We found Blake a beautiful home where he could run around and spend his days being treated like a Prince!
