Border Small Animal Rescue

About

Border Small Animal Rescue is a small animal rescue located in Albury/Wodonga. We cater for a range of animals including but not limited to Dogs/Cats/Rabbits/Guinea Pigs/Rats/Mice/Ferrets.

Most of our animals have come from a background of neglect/back to back pregnancies/abuse/someone losing interest or all of the above, although some are genuine surrenders for unavoidable reasons.

We do not operate as a "first in best dressed" organisation, we carefully match the animal that will suit your home by reviewing your application form. We aim to match the animal to your household so it's like the animal has been with you since they were 8 week's old.

We offer a 2 week trial period, giving the animal time to settle in and adjust to the household/environment. We also have lifetime support for the animal, if you need support or advice about something or suggestions etc.

Mr Cool

Could it be that I’m the perfect male companion you’ve been searching for? Although I’m rather shy when I initially meet people (actually you probably won’t see me for a few days until I feel safe and comfortable around you), once I settle in I’ll be the life of your party (intimate party – I don’t like crowds or noise). I’m actually an independent kind of guy and prefer affection on my terms. The good news is that I’m rather an affectionate guy too and I love the company of my special human. I prefer women but I’m fine with a gentle, quiet man too. Once I feel safe and secure I will only have eyes for you. Every little thing you do will interest me and I’ll want to be involved in it. You might think cleaning your teeth is boring but I’ll be there to smooch you and keep you company. If you want to lie down and rest I’ll be there to snuggle up with you. My foster mum says I’m the cat you have when you can’t decide if you want a cat or a dog. I have a strong hunting instinct and am very adept at catching flies and spiders etc and I like stalking birdies through the windows so I can’t live in a house with small animals like birds and mice etc. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t like noise, so I can’t live with children or dogs or in a busy household. I like living with other cats and like to have someone to play with when I’m in a “zoomie” mood. I’m very sociable and get along with young and old cats alike. I need company almost all the time (I’ve never been alone) so if you can’t spend most of the day with me I’ll need a kitty companion. I’m a shy kitty but a very soft & warm kitty and I purr like a finely tuned V8 (I guess that’s why they call me Turbo). I have a heart shaped patch on my right shoulder but there is a piece missing. Could you be the missing piece?

Bosco

Australian Bulldog x Border Collie Mix

Full of Mischief

With the intelligence and inquisitive nature of a Border Collie, Mr Bosco has so much potential. Bosco is always keen to explore new surroundings and learning new things, he will greatly benefit from having a committed owner who will take him to obedience club and keep his mind stimulated throughout the day. He's a very fast learner, especially when food is involved. Bosco is a big love bug and loves being with his humans and being apart of the family. He will happily play with toys all day with you but come nighttime, he loves nothing more than being able to curl up next to you and fall asleep. Bosco is crate trained and sleeps in his crate overnight and when his foster carer is out and about. He would love having a female dog for company in his new forever home (No senior dogs, he is currently living with senior dogs and has proven he is way too energetic for them) and secure fencing. Kids and cats will be considered upon application.

Looking for love

Stapler by name, not a stapler by nature anymore. Mr Stapler was the most fearful of the litter when they came into care and got his name through "stapling" fingers of his carers during the handling process. Stapler is now the most affectionate of his litter and isn't ever too far away from you! He was the first of the litter to find his purr and a very impressive one at that! He will come for cuddles, there is no such thing as too much cuddles to him! Where ever you are, he won't be too far behind! Stapler has a quirk to him, that being, he like's water, if you leave the tap running softly, he'll happily come and place his head under the running tap. Have a fish tank with no lid? You'll find him with his legs completely drenched in the fish tank, he doesn't care about the fish in the tank either! When it comes to a water bowl, you can be sure he has to place his feet in the water! So he a home that is accepting of his quirk and that their will be wet paw prints is needed. Stapler is good around dogs of all sizes. His new ideal home has another cat for company. Kids will be considered upon application.

Indigo

Loving and Affectionate

Introducing Indigo, Indigo came into care a young kitten 12 months ago, her carer ended up adopting her and life was good for her along with her fur sister Possum. Their cheeky personalities saw them playing "chasy" with their owner when he came home from work before tucking into an evening meal and then blissfully falling asleep on the bed with him. Sadly Indigo & Possum's world came crashing down with the unexpected and sudden death of their beloved owner and with no other family members who could take the girls on.. Indigo came back to us along with Possum (we couldn't leave her behind) and both have finally settled in nicely with their carer. Indigo is still the same affectionate girl who loves nothing more than spending time with you on the bed or quietly watching the world go by through a window. With her marble tabby coat she has the look of the Bengal without the high energy of one. She will chirp at you to say hello after a long day at work and reach up for a pat. Indigo has been around other cats and prefer those who know how to introduce themselves politely and have manners, the calmer the cat, the better. She has been around dogs and once again, have no issues with dogs with manners who will respect their boundaries. She id good around respectful kids who will give her space if needed.

Boo Boo

Cheeky monkey

Coming from a tiny little pup weighing 3kgs, who couldn't weight bear on his broken leg and just wanted to rest, he has blossomed into a handsome boy, with an inquisitive nature, he is always keen to explore his surroundings, keeping his foster carers on their toes. He's a cheeky boy searching for that perfect family that he can grow old with. He need's a family that will be committed to taking him to obedience club and continue on with training with him, which he will excel at, he is a very fast learner when food is involved. Boo Boo wouldn't suit being an only dog as he does enjoy having friends to play with so his ideal home has a female dog for company (He is currently living with senior dogs and has proven his energy is too much for them, so no senior dogs please) to help with building his confidence and with socialisation. He is showing working dog instinct (Border Collie) and is rounding up his foster carers cat's and causing a deal of stress on them so a no cat home is needed. Kids will be considered upon application. Secure fencing is a must, having such a inquisitive nature about him, he would easily work out how to get out of farm fencing. Boo Boo is crate trained and sleeps in his crate overnight and while his foster carers are out and about.
