Save a Life with Animal Welfare League

Animal Welfare League NSW sets out to rehome at least 200 dogs and cats in the month of September as part of their "Save a Life in September" campaign, supported by Purina.

The month culminates with a fundraising event in Martin Place, Sydney on September 25th from 7.30 am - 2.30 pm, where members of the public can get up close and personal with some of the dogs in care, chat with staff and seek advice from their animal experts. You can also Save a Life this September by donating directly to helping the animals that are in the care of AWL.

Members of the public are being asked to consider adopting a shelter pet rather than getting animals from other sources and to either donate or raise funds for Animal Welfare League NSW during September.

During “Save a Life in September” they want to let the community know that shelter pets are happy, healthy and ready to be given a second chance at a forever home. They have gorgeous dogs, cats, puppies and kittens all waiting to meet their new family.

It’s also good to know that you can adopt with peace of mind, as all cats and dogs from Animal Welfare League come health checked, behaviour assessed and desexed. Their expert team is also on hand to help guide you through the process of adoption and find the dog or cat who’s the perfect match for your lifestyle.

When: September 25 from 7:30am-2:30pm

Where: Martin Place, Sydney

Made Easy Family Car Travel with Dog Car Travel

To make dog car travel easy get your dog used to riding in the car by taking him on short trips to start. If you get your dog as a puppy and anticipate it going in the car with you at all, start taking the dog with you in the car early in its life so he recognizes this as routine. The earlier a dog begins riding in the car, the faster they will learn how to behave on a trip. Some dogs get car sickness. If your dog is one who experiences this talk to your vet. Like medications that can help people avoid getting sick in the car, there are medications to help dogs with this situation. If your dog is very upset, very sick or very nervous while riding in the car you will want to travel with your dog as little as possible. The safest method to transport your dog is in a pet crate. Also available are harnesses and seat belts to secure your dog while traveling, but most dog owners train the dog to sit on a seat and ride. Your dog may move from seat to seat, but do not e...

It's a Dog's Life photographic exhibition by acclaimed pet photographer, Serena Hodson, will be held in Brisbane from June 5 until June 16, 2017 . The stars of this exhibition are her three dogs: Simon (a British Bulldog), Garfunkel (a French Bulldog ) and Henri (a Wired Dachshund ) who have already amassed a 100,000-strong social media fan base after their owner began posting quirky pics of her pups on Facebook. Simon and Garfunkel playing Monopoly - Photo (and above): Serena Hodson “I love my gorgeous dogs to bits and started posting my pics of them just for fun,” said Ms Hodson. “Suddenly my art went viral as an army of fans in US, Germany, the UK and even Brazil went barking mad for my dogs. “I think it’s because I show the individual personality of my pets. Simon is grumpy but sweet, Henri is always happy and sees the silver lining in every day, while Garfunkel loves to be the centre of attention.” “For many years it’s been just a hobby but the popularity of my family po...

Sporn Marrow Chew Bone

The Sporn Marrow Chew Bone (originally called the Yuppie Puppy ) is a jerky-flavour filled chewable nylon bone, which promises to control tartar and plaque, assisting with your dog's dental health. After putting it to the test for a number of years with our three Belgian Shepherds, we can attest that it is great for the toughest of chewers and may even save some of your furniture or shoes. Especially recommended during the puppy phase, when your dog is constantly teething and needs something to chew. Chewing this bone is similar to brushing their teeth. As the nylon shreds, it becomes like bristles, removing tartar and plaque build-up from the teeth. These interactive dental chew toys are unique to most other flavoured nylon bones as the marrow is added after the bone has been moulded and cooled. After trialling other brands on the market, we found that the marrow makes the difference and keeps our dogs coming back for more. Our dogs can surely smell it long before they can t...
