The freezing conditions didn’t affect the celebration at the Lost Dogs' Home today when Australia Post launched the ‘Adopted and Adored’ stamp issue, hosted by Network Ten’s Mike Larkan.
Gorgeous five year old Pointer cross Kelpie Willow was taken to the Lost Dogs' Home at Wingecarribee after being seen wandering the local area for three days.
After a fruitless search to locate her owner, Willow was placed up for adoption, where she caught the attention of Natalie and Rob.
We love receiving news on how dogs and cats adopted from the The Lost Dogs' Home are getting on. Betsy very kindly emailed us recently about her four-legged friend Buffy.
Many of these animals are identified by microchip, however when contacted, owners deny ownership of the so-called pet.
This is exactly what happened to Max, a young beagle cross cocker spaniel who was found beside a busy road last winter.
Brought to the Home, Max was scanned for a microchip. When staff called the number corresponding to the chip number, at first his owner denied ever owning a dog. After prompting from staff, she then admitted that she had given Max away, but didn’t know anything – not even the name – of the new owner.
When the weather becomes cold and wet, it’s easy for owners to stop or reduce their dog’s walks. But if you do this, you run the risk of your typically placid pet becoming destructive out of boredom or escaping the back yard.
