PetRescue was delighted to receive a call from Bayer Australia, who have offered to donate 10,000 packets of Advantage for distribution to PetRescue shelter members.

We would like to thank Bayer for their generous contribution, and we'll be in touch with our members soon to arrange delivery.

PetRescue is pleased to announce that we are now supporting cat rescue by including a cat listing and adoption area.

Visitors to the site are now able to search for kittens or cats and view detailed information about them, including photos, descriptions and adoption details.

In line with our rescue mission, only desexed cats are able to be listed and they are subject to the same moderation systems as dogs listed on PetRescue.

Rescuers will find a new option in the Members Area to list the cats they have available for adoption.

As always, we're very interested in hearing your thoughts and would appreciate any feedback.

This little guy is only about 9 or 10 weeks old and in his short life he has already been through quite an ordeal.

At some time, his right front leg has been broken and apparently it has never been treated. This has resulted in a terrible deformity that has caused quite a marked difference in the length of his leg. This deformity will lead to all sorts of problems as he grows.

As well as having this huge problem, Patches also found himself in a big cold cage at the pound, waiting day by day for his number to come up and to be sent off to death row.

He has since been rescued from the pound by Paws n Hooves and a lovely family fell in love with and adopted him. Now all they want is to share their love and their home with him.

This all sounds like a really great and happy story but unfortunately at this stage there is no happy ending.

To correct Patches' leg deformity, he needs to have surgery as soon as possible while he is still growing. This surgery is going to cost upwards of $1,000 and this will be a huge drain on Paws n Hooves resources.

PetRescue would like to help raise some of the much needed funds to get the poor little guy back on the road to recovery.

If you are interested in contributing to help Patches, please contact Paws n Hooves on 02 9627 2767 or email pawsnhooves@iprimus.com.au.

Hero
Male American Staffordshire puppy

Thank you to all who enquired about Hero. He now has a loving home - a far cry from death row where he was found! Well done PetRescue.com.au!!!!

Bobby
Small male Shih Tzu x dog

Bobby had been with us for a fair while and we couldn't understand why no-one had taken him home. Well this week, EVERYBODY wanted Bobby, from Queensland to Victoria. His new Mum & Dad are so happy that they "beat everyone to him" and he is living a life of luxury.

CoCo
Small female Bichon Frise dog

After CoCo appeared on PetRescue, she became a very popular little dog. She has now gone to a wonderful new home where she will live the pampered life she deserves.

Name: Ajax
Title: Dinner Auditor and Head Snorer
How long have you been with PetRescue? Almost two years

What does your role involve?
Originally, I joined the team here at PetRescue to provide companionship to my sister Sophie, but my role has evolved considerably since then. My main task is to monitor our dinner schedule meticulously, and advise the relevant team members as soon as it's feeding time. I also hold a very impressive record for snoring while awake and asleep, which has earnt me the title of Head Snorer.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I really like barking maniacally at anyone that dares to walk within 100 metres of our front yard. I also enjoy snuggles on any inviting lap, and hiding under the fishtank.
