UPDATE: 29 August - Kenny was rehomed this morning.
It was anyone’s guess as to what breed of dog lay underneath the horribly matted and overgrown coat.
After being bathed and clipped, Kenny emerged as a much happier and sweeter smelling maltese mix. His mild skin irritation has been treated and should not present any ongoing problems.
Buckley was only eight weeks old when his owner cut off his ears and tail with a pair of scissors or shears in what was a callous and deliberate attack.
It is beyond comprehension how anyone could be so cruel to an innocent animal, but The Lost Dogs’ Home is often called upon to care for severely neglected and cruelly treated cats and dogs like Buckley.
As you look around our cities today more and more people are moving to high rise developments. The number of dogs living in units is rising which brings up issues for their proper care and management. As backyards disappear for some dogs, our Head Dog Trainer Nicole Beasley discusses how to ensure your dog thrives in a smaller environment.
Lost and wandering the streets, gentle Shih Tzu mix Dolly was hit by a car and sustained some serious injuries. Rushed to the Home in need of intensive care and veterinary attention, Dolly has now recovered and is ready for a new home.
The Lost Dogs' Home recently received a call from Crazy John’s National Customer Service Manager, Andrew Strachan, asking how he could help the Home. He was responding to a letter we sent asking for assistance towards our dogs and cats in need. Not only is he now making a monthly personal donation to the Home, but he is rallying Crazy John’s staff across Melbourne to support the Home’s work.
13 week old Buckley the puppy had a visit from his namesake, former Collingwood star Nathan Buckley on Wednesday.
Nathan took pleasure in meeting little Buckley as he enjoyed more quality time socialising and playing with his canine friends Bonnie and Ruby at the Home.
Buckley has been the focus of many recent media reports, we have added videos to this post for your convenience or you can visit our YouTube channel here. You can also subscribe to our channel to be kept updated when we add new videos.
Bert was chosen by Genevieve’s three children out of litter when he was just four-weeks-old. He was the biggest and busiest Schnauzer and looked like he’d be a loyal addition to the family.
