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

 |
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 |
 |
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 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).

| TEENA |
 |
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 |
|
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 |
 |
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 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 |
 |
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!
