Sunday’s Super Senior is Tucker!🐶💗

💙 MEET TUCKER – THE LOYAL HEELER WITH A BIG PERSONALITY! 💙

At 9.5 years young, Tucker is a clever, loyal Aussie Blue Cattle Dog who knows an impressive collection of tricks and still loves a good game of tug!

Tucker is looking for a very special home with someone who understands and appreciates everything that makes a Heeler unique.
🐾 His perfect home:
Adults only – no children under 16.
Experienced, confident owners.
A cat-free home.
Friendly dog companions considered.
A calm home where he can enjoy his own space when visitors arrive.
Secure fencing and proper livestock separation if on acreage.

He's a smart, devoted boy who keeps his special circle close. If you love the loyalty and character of a true Cattle Dog, Tucker could be your guy! 💙

So many ticks around at the moment! Please be vigilant - use the tick prevention and also check your animals regularly.

Paralysis ticks particularly are deadly to cats and dogs, and it will cost a lot to try to save them if they get a tick on them.

Preventatives help kill and deter the ticks - please use them 🙏

We are hearing too many stories about people losing their animals recently💔

Thanks again Animal Emergency Service Tanawha

🐕 You've returned from a walk and given your dog a pat...

There's a lump.

You take a closer look... and you've found a tick.

Do you know what to do? And just as importantly, what not to do?

When it comes to tick paralysis, the actions you take in those first moments can make a real difference. That's why we've put together these essential do's and don'ts to help you stay calm and act confidently if you find a tick on your dog.

👇 Check out our full guide to ticks in the comments for everything you need to know about prevention, identification, removal and when to seek veterinary care.

So many great education posts coming form Animal Emergency Service Tanawha
Thanks for keeping us informed.

So important

🐍 Not every snake bite leaves an obvious mark... but your dog’s behaviour can tell you something is wrong.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

🐾 Sudden collapse, even if they seem to bounce back quickly
🐾 Weakness, wobbliness, or trouble walking
🐾 Tremors, shaking, or dilated pupils
🐾 Dark or bloody urine
🐾 Bleeding from the nose, mouth, or bite site

⚠️ Trust your instincts. If you think your dog may have been bitten by a snake, don't wait to "see how they go." Every minute counts.

📞 Contact your nearest emergency vet immediately.

Happy CATurday from 6 year old girl, Cleopatra 👸🏼

Hello, it’s me, Cleo! 🐱

Shelter life isn’t too bad but I’m hoping to be Head of Household in a forever home soon! 🙏🏻

Here’s the scoop on me: I’m curious, smart, and independent; but I do like a pat and a chat 🐾

I really appreciate humans who get me: someone who respects a girl with a strong personality and loves a cat who brings true character to a home. In return, I’ll offer endless charm, entertainment, and a lifetime of regal affection 💞

Think your lap is worthy of a queen? Pop out to the shelter - I would love to meet you! 💖✨

🐱 Happy Caturday from our longest term cat, Taski.

Every animal deserves a loving home - especially seniors. They deserve to spend the rest of their days comfortable,cherished, and deeply loved… and 12-year-old Taski is so ready to be your special boy. 🤎

Taski has been waiting at the shelter for over 8 months now, and while he’s been a total champion, he’s more than ready to swap his shelter pen for a warm lap to call his own.

Here is what makes Taski so special:

🐾 The Ultimate Welcoming Committee: Taski is a total sweetheart who will always greet you with a friendly "hello" whenever you walk into the room.
🐾 Lap Cat Extraordinaire: If you’re sitting down, expect Taski to snuggle right up. He loves nothing more than soaking up your warmth.
🐾 A Solo Superstar: Taski prefers to be the undisputed king of his castle, so he’s looking for a household with no other cats.

🏠 His Ideal Home: Taski is a cat with personality and clear communication! Because he can occasionally get a little overstimulated, he’s looking for an understanding, patient adopter who respects his boundaries and listens when he says, “that’s enough pets for now, thank you." In return, you’ll get a loyal, chatty, and affectionate companion who will fill your home with endless love.

Could you be the one to give Taski the peaceful, comfortable golden years he truly deserves? 💞

Come out to meet Taski this weekend! Let’s get this handsome gentleman home.

Senior dogs matter……

Just because they’ve lived a lot of their lives already…..doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to live out the rest in a loving home 🤞🤞

Cheddar, Boston and Flex are three of them.

Please pop to our website for all of their details and consider making a senior dog a part of your family and changing their world.
