250 days and counting for Kaylee ๐Ÿ’”
How has this clever, toy-loving girl been waiting this long for her forever home?! ๐Ÿฅน

Meet Kaylee! She's smart, fun and fiercely devoted to her favourite people. In fact, we're pretty sure she thinks she's a human herself! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sheโ€™s even a regular superstar at our Happy Paws Happy Hearts training sessions, where she loves showing off her skills and proving that learning can be heaps of fun.

When she's not busy being a very good girl, Kaylee loves a game of tug, chasing a ball or entertaining herself with her favourite toys. And when playtime is over? She's more than happy to put her paws up, curl up nearby and enjoy a tasty Kong.

On Kaylee's wish list is a family who'll include her in their everyday adventures. She'd also prefer to be your one and only furry friend and she's got plenty of love, loyalty and personality to go round! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

She's spent 250 days waiting for someone to choose her. Could you be the one to show Kaylee what forever feels like? Check out her profile online and apply to adopt today ๐Ÿ‘‰ rspcaqld.org.au/find-a-pet/details/a2jMp00000DSfRvIAL/a1358515

Meet Bowie ๐Ÿ‘‹
Sweet, sensitive Bowie is ready to find her family to share life's adventures with! ๐Ÿถ

Gorgeous girl Bowie may take a little time to get to know new people and places, but once she feels comfortable, she's ready to show you what a wonderful companion she can be. All Bowie needs is someone willing to take things at her pace, celebrate her little wins and help her discover just how wonderful life can be

This girl is happiest when she has space to stretch those legs! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ A large, secure yard or acreage would be ideal, giving Bowie plenty of room to run, play and explore while enjoying the comfort of her own home.

She's also looking for a family with plenty of time to spend with her, keeping her busy with physical exercise, fun enrichment and positive training.

And when it comes to meeting new people, Bowie loves a gentle introduction - crouch down, roll a few tasty treats her way and let her decide when she's ready to come over and say hello! ๐Ÿฆด๐Ÿฅฐ

Bowie would love to be your one and only furry friend ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

With patience, encouragement and plenty of positive experiences, Bowie has so much potential to flourish.

A painful reminder to always take your fishing gear with you ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ’”
This Grey-headed Flying Fox found himself in serious trouble when a three-pronged fishing hook became embedded through his lip and nose.

Thankfully, the team at Bats QLD came to his rescue and safely transported him to our RSPCA Wildlife Hospital, where our Wildlife Vet team got to work.

Under anaesthetic, our Vet team carefully cut the hook into sections before gently removing each piece.

Despite how nasty his injuries looked, this little guy has healed well and is now continuing his rehabilitation โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆ‡

But not every animal caught in fishing gear is so lucky.

Discarded hooks and fishing line can remain a serious threat long after a day of fishing is over, catching, tangling and seriously injuring unsuspecting wildlife.

So next time you cast a line, please take all hooks, line and fishing gear with you. And if you spot discarded fishing gear while youโ€™re out and about, and itโ€™s safe to collect, please pick it up and bin it.

A few seconds cleaning up can prevent a painful injury for wildlife โค๏ธ

And remember, if you ever find a bat in trouble, never attempt to handle it yourself. Keep your distance and call the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL, Bats Qld, Bat Conservation and Rescue Qld, or your nearest wildlife carer.

A baby bird on the ground is not automatically abandoned. Picking it up and taking it away could mean removing a healthy youngster from the parents still caring for it.

๐Ÿ”ธ A bright, responsive fledgling with feathers may be learning to fly. If it is in a safe spot, leave it there, keep pets away and watch from a distance. Its parents may be nearby.

๐Ÿ”ธ A younger bird with few feathers may need help getting back into its nest. Follow the attached flowchart and seek advice if youโ€™re unsure.

๐Ÿ”ธ A sick or injured bird needs help. Take it to a vet or call ๐‘๐’๐๐‚๐€ ๐จ๐ง ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐€๐๐ˆ๐Œ๐€๐‹ (๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“).

๐Ÿ”ธ Brush turkey chicks are independent from hatching. They do not receive parental care and should be left alone unless sick or injured.

If a bird needs to come into care, place it on a towel in a small box and keep it warm, dark and quiet. ๐ƒ๐จ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ซ.

Formerly known as Johnny, this sweet 4-year-9-month-old Dachshund has a new name and a wonderful new life with Bethany and Tom from Northgate.

After coming into care as a stray in early September, Sunny needed a little help building his confidence. He was eager to please, quick to learn and very happy to work for a tasty treat!

Now, his family tells us his ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฒ and his playful personality is shining through. Heโ€™s answering to his new name and making amazing progress with his recall.

His favourite things include playing with his cousin Arnie the Cavoodle, snuffle balls, rolling around in blankets and walks around the reserve. Car rides are another highlight, especially watching the world through the window. And carrots? A definite winner!

Sunny has also been a very good boy at the vet, who says heโ€™s healthy and making great progress.

He still likes to keep his people in sight, so Bethany and Tom are gently helping him feel more comfortable spending short periods on his own. With patience and gradual practice, heโ€™s making progress there too.

๐‡๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐š๐ฅ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ ๐›๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž and has well and truly won everyone over.

Thank you, Bethany and Tom, for giving Sunny the love, patience and encouragement he needed, and for sharing his Happy Tail with ๐‘๐’๐๐‚๐€ ๐ƒ๐€๐Š๐€๐๐ˆ๐.

Disasters don't wait for you to find the cat's carrier or hunt down the dog's lead! ๐Ÿพ

With bushfire and storm season upon us, now's the time to make sure your pet (and farmyard friends) are part of your emergency plan. When you need to leave in a hurry, a bit of prep now makes a big difference.

Here's how to get pet prepared ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ†” Check their ID: Make sure your pets are microchipped, their details are up to date and they're wearing a collar with ID.

๐Ÿฆด Pack an emergency kit: Include food, water, medication, bedding and favourite toys.

๐Ÿก Plan a safe space: Know where your animals can shelter safely and bring pets indoors where possible. Never leave them tethered outside.

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ Chat with your neighbours: Have someone who can check on your animals if you can't get home.

๐Ÿข Know where you'll go: Research pet-friendly evacuation options ahead of time, as not all evacuation centres roll out the red carpet for furry friends.

๐Ÿจ Don't forget wildlife: If you find injured wildlife, call the RSPCA Hotline on 1300 ANIMAL (264 625).

๐Ÿšจ Ticks are a hazard all year round! ๐Ÿšจ
Checking your pets daily for ticks can be a life saver. Take the time to check those โ€˜hiddenโ€™ places like under the collar, between toes and inside their ears ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿถ

If you find a tick on your pet, or they start to show symptoms of tick paralysis ACT FAST - Take them to your local vet immediately.

โš ๏ธ If you see any of the following symptoms in your pet, don't delay vet treatment โš ๏ธ
๐Ÿพ Vomiting or gagging
๐Ÿพ Difficulty breathing
๐Ÿพ Dry cough or change in bark or meow
๐Ÿพ Unsteady, staggering walk
๐Ÿพ Disinterest in food
๐Ÿพ Hind leg paralysis

Some cats and dogs do not show the typical hind limb paralysis at first. Initially they may only exhibit a gurgling, choking cough, however their condition will quickly deteriorate.

โœ… BE SMART - Protect your pet with tick prevention.

RSPCA QLD recommend and use the Bravecto Australia range. We stock the spot-on and chews range at RSPCA World for Pets ๐Ÿ‘‰ rspcaworldforpets.com.au. Talk to your vet for the best option for your pet.

Meet Bundy and Evie ๐Ÿ‘‹
These two best friends are on a very important mission to find a forever home where they can continue doing everything together! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

Evie is a sweet, sensitive girl who just needs a little time to get to know new people and her surroundings. Luckily, she has the perfect sidekick by her side! Her brother Bundy gives her an extra boost of confidence and is always there to show her that everything is going to be okay.

Bundy is a gentle boy who also likes to take his time getting to know new people. Once he feels comfortable, his loveable personality starts to shine, and having Evie by his side makes everything that little bit easier.

Their dream home? One where life moves at a gentler pace. A calm, quiet household with a predictable routine will help them feel safe, settled and confident as they find their feet. Theyโ€™d love to be part of everyday family life indoors, with a cosy space of their own to retreat to whenever they feel like some quiet time.

With patience, kindness and plenty of encouragement, Bundy and Evie will show you just how wonderful they are.

If you're ready for double the cuddles, double the personalities and twice the love, Bundy and Evie could be the perfect pair to add to your family. Check out their profiles online and apply to adopt this sweet bonded pair today ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/3VrztRL (Bundy) and bit.ly/4yakyZI (Evie)

When Diamantina was released to ๐‘๐’๐๐‚๐€ ๐ƒ๐€๐Š๐€๐๐ˆ๐ on 5th September after being found as a stray, she was terrified. This sweet girl needed plenty of encouragement and a family with time and patience to help her feel safe.

Now 11 months old, she has found just that with Fay and Neil from Ningi, who adopted her last Friday. And it took her ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐๐š๐ฒ to start making herself at home!

By Saturday night, she was zooming through the house, snuggling between her new mum and dad and enjoying a snooze on Fayโ€™s lap. She has also claimed their bed as her nightly sleeping spot. Clearly, the sleeping arrangements have been settled!

Her new scratching post in the enclosed patio is getting an enthusiastic workout too.

Fay and Neil describe her as cute, affectionate and loving, and couldnโ€™t be happier to have her in their family. Theyโ€™ve chosen a lovely new name to suit her colouring: ๐Œ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ.

From a frightened little girl to a much-loved family member, what a wonderful change. Thank you, Fay and Neil, for giving Misty the love and reassurance she needed to shine.

Meet Patrick ๐Ÿ‘‹
Handsome? โœ…
Smart? โœ…
Delightfully goofy? Absolutely ๐Ÿ˜‚

Patrick is a lovable larrikin who has been through quite the adventure and is now ready to swap shelter life for a comfy couch, and a family to call his own.

When Patrick first arrived in our care, he had a broken leg that needed orthopaedic surgery. After an extended recovery and plenty of strict doctorโ€™s orders, this boy is finally back on all four paws and ready to put his medical saga firmly behind him ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‰

And what does Patrick love now that he's feeling better? Pretty much anything that involves his favourite people!

After spending so much time on restricted rest, Patrick can sometimes get a little carried away with his newfound freedom and may briefly transform into a Formula 1 race car and zoom around at top speed! ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ And behind all that speed is a clever boy who genuinely wants to please ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฅฐ

After everything he's been through, Patrick is ready for the fun part of finding his forever family.

๐Ÿพ Settle your newest family member into their forever home with a free 4kg bag of Royal Canin food!

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick, professional snack inspector and handsome goofball with a whole lot of love to give, Patrick could be your perfect match! Check out his profile online and apply to adopt today ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/find-a-pet/details/a2jMp00000DbAQjIAN/a1476185

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
What an incredible Give to Get Them Home! Thanks to you, weโ€™ve raised more than $805,000 to help over 1,340 animals in need ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑโค๏ธ

That means more animals can receive the care they need, get back on their paws and have the chance to find a loving forever home.

And we couldnโ€™t have made TWICE the impact without our incredible matching partners and sponsors, including Royal Canin, Bravecto Australia and Peter Alexander Sleepwear, who helped DOUBLE every dollar donated ๐Ÿ™Œ

To everyone who donated, shared our posts, spread the word or supported Give to Get Them Home in any way - this incredible result belongs to you.

From all of us, and the animals whose lives youโ€™re helping changeโ€ฆ

โค๏ธ THANK YOU! โค๏ธ

๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ WE DID IT!! But we're not done yet! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ
Together, Queenslanders have raised $750,000 for animals in need!

And guess what? We're not stopping yet!

Our incredible matching partners have agreed to keep the ball rolling and will continue to DOUBLE your DONATIONS until we reach $804,000!

That means if you havenโ€™t donated yet (or youโ€™d like to make one more special gift) youโ€™ve still got the chance to make TWICE the impact for animals in need.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The bonus round is ON โ€“ letโ€™s see how far we can take this!
