It's all about...

SAVING BABIES

It’s just as intense and as important as that famous TV Program of the same name.......

Except our babies are “fur babies”
 

Vinnie

This beautiful 11 week old puppy arrived mid December 2007
at NSWAR missing an ear.

Mickie

Born with irreversible brain damage and sent to NSWAR
from interstate.

The cerebellum is the portion of the brain responsible for the control of motion. When a puppy or kitten is born with an underdeveloped cerebellum, the condition is known as congenital cerebellar hypoplasia.

Seven Tiny Puppies were left to Die!
Abandoned by a heartless human in the cold and rain

On the news we saw the devastation of the recent flooding in Newcastle.  In western Sydney the weather was cold, wet and windy, and minor flooding in many areas.  Well imagine if you weighed less than a half kilogram, were three weeks old and dumped in the rain on one of Sydney's coldest days.

Seven teeny chihuahua/terrier puppies who arrived here in a distressed and hypothermic state. 

After 48 hours of intensive care at the shelter, these
puppies are now being cared for by an experienced neonate carer.  How could anyone abandon tiny puppies on a cold, raining and windy day in a flood prone area?   These pups were noticed by a passing motorist who saved their life because she cared for other living beings. 

Sapphira and Hugo

Sapphira and Hugo were dumped on the streets when they were 6 weeks old.   On arrival at our rescue they required veterinary treatment for hypothermia and malnutrition.

Hugo and Sapphira won the heart of Miss World Australia 2007

Blackie

Blackie came to us when she was four weeks old.
She was seriously ill with anaemia and dehydration resulting from an overburden of fleas.
Blackie was very tiny and needed 24 hour care.

She survived and today weighs over 30 kg.

Orphaned at Birth
The result of backyard breeding

These little puppies were surrendered to NSW Animal Rescue  after the mother died of a ruptured uterus whilst giving birth to 10 pups.  4 puppies died during birth, leaving 6 helpless new lives to save. 

These puppies need 24 hour round the clock care in the hope they would survive. 

Sadly only one puppy survived, despite our efforts.

Below is Oscar, the surviving puppy

Oscar has a forever family to call his own!
