Remote Animal Assistance - FNQ

Because of YOU, every single one of our foster dogs are protected 🐾

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to provide our foster dogs with monthly Simparica Trio preventatives - keeping them safe from deadly parasites like ticks, fleas, heartworm and more.

These little packages mean healthier dogs, less suffering, and one less thing our foster carers need to worry about.

If you’d like to sign up for this simple, life-saving routine for you own pets, check out our Preventative Care Subscription here https://remoteanimalassistance.com/shop-preventatives/

OR please make a donation to continue helping dogs in foster care here https://remoteanimalassistance.com/donate/

💛 THANK YOU! 💛

Name: Molly
Age: 8 months
Breed: Mixed breed - medium sized
Cats: Unknown
Children: Yes
Dogs: Yes
Available for adoption? YES!🐾

Miss Molly is the sweetest pup you'll ever meet! She loves everyone and everything, and has the most lovable and gentle temperament. No matter your age, Molly will love you from the moment she meets you! Molly is a HUGE cuddle bug and absolutely adores kisses on her forehead. She loves kids so much, and would truly be the perfect family dog. She currently lives with other dogs, and would love to have another doggy companion to run and play with in her forever home as well. While Molly hasn't been tested with cats, she has seen them while being on leash, and has never reacted or tried to approach them, so she can possibly be tested with them.

Molly loves playing with a ball, especially a soccer ball! She also enjoys listening to calming doggy music, and it'll put her right to sleep. She does get a bit scared of barking dogs sometimes, but has made great improvement in seeking out comfort and reassurance from her carer when this happens. Molly isn't a fan of the vacuum either, but she will just hide away on the lounge or in a bedroom when it makes an appearance.

When it comes to training, Molly has shown herself to be an A+ student! She is house trained, lead trained, and travels well in a car. While she hasn't been crate trained, she does pop in and out of an opened crate occasionally, so crate training is definitely possible if her adopters decide to do so. Molly is very food motivated (she is a foodie at heart), and has great impulse control for her age. She knows that being calm is what she needs to do to be rewarded, and her carer promises you that you won't be able to say no to those adorable puppy eyes staring up at you! Molly also understands the foundations of recall, and her carer is currently working on adding distance and distractions. She will sit for her food and is excellent at waiting for 'ok!' before eating.

Molly does learn off of the dogs she is with (she will be hyperactive with another hyperactive dog, and calm with a calm dog), so she would benefit from living with another dog that is mature and more settled as she looks to her companions on how to react and behave. She is able to be left alone inside during the day as well, and while she may whine for 5-10 minutes at first, she settles pretty quickly! Having enrichment and her favourite calming music helps a lot, but isn't necessary. Molly doesn't destroy anything, but she will get to any food if it isn't properly secured! She does truly love her food.

Molly's carer thinks she is just perfect in every way, and that whoever decides to adopt her will be welcoming a true friend into their home.⠀

If Molly sounds like she would be the perfect pup for you, you can send us an enquiry or adoption application here👉🏻https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/99660

We’ve got some incredible news to share about our brave Croc Fam, the Furwin's - and it’s all thanks to you!

THANK YOU! From all of RAA, we appreciate every purchase, donation, foster application, message and share! We truly couldn’t do this without you.

First up, Terri (our legendary Croc Mum!) has come through her life-saving surgery beautifully. Her pyometra operation went well, and she’s now recovering in a loving foster home, finally getting the comfort and care she deserves after everything she’s survived. From fighting off prey and the elements to escaping a crocodile’s jaws, Terri has truly earned her second chance at life.

Her pups are doing well too!

✅ Dundee is recovering from Parvo and getting stronger every day. Thankfully all other Furwin's were spared and have continued to test negative!

✅ Roberta and Steve are thriving and growing into cheeky little characters who’ll be looking for forever homes soon!

But we’re not out of the woods just yet. Unexpected emergencies like Parvo take a huge toll - emotionally and financially. Ongoing vet bills, medications, diagnostics, and strict quarantine protocols come at a cost we simply can’t absorb alone.

It’s crucial that we keep all of them healthy and supported so they can eventually find safe, loving families. Vet bills, parasite prevention, nutritious food, and transport costs all add up – but it’s worth every cent to see these dogs finally safe and happy.

Terri and her family are living proof that your support saves lives. In just hours, your generosity gave Terri the chance to survive, while also helping us begin treatment for Dundee’s Parvo, manage Roberta’s eye condition, and provide all the medical care the Furwins need to begin their new lives.

But there are so many more like them, still waiting in remote communities, still facing the same dangers. And we’re already stretched beyond our resources.

Thank you for being part of their forever!

Fun fact! Out of our 24 adoptable dogs and puppies, only eight are males!

All of these handsome boys are available for adoption, with some having been in care for only a few weeks and others up to a year! We’d love to see some of them adopted this month, they are all well overdue for that perfect forever family who’ll shower them with love and affection🐾

If any of them catch your eye, you can view all of their adoption profiles via this link👉🏻 https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/rescue-groups/227134/Remote-Animal-Assistance

Quick update! Terri had her surgery overnight and is doing well this morning - YAY!!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to saving Terri - the vet staff say that she’s a SUPER sweet dog and they’re all falling in love 🥰❤️

She will be going home with her foster carer this afternoon 🐶🐾

11/07/2025

UPDATE!!

Witth less than one hour to go - IT’S GO TIME!! We’ve met our pledge target and have called the vets to give them the go-head! 🥳

We are now calling for donations via the DONATE button on this post, or via any of the following methods on our website (bank transfer, visa, Paypal, ApplePay):

www.remoteanimalassistance.com/donate

THANK YOU!! 🙏❤️

**********************************

We appreciate everyone’s feedback!

THANK YOU!! 🙏❤️

With less than two hours to go - we are continuing to accept pledges!

📢 PLEASE SHARE this post far and wide.

Together, we can save Terri.

PLEDGE:

We’re using our RAA Pledge System — you only donate once everything is confirmed.

Here’s how it works:
Comment below or message us with your pledge (e.g. “I’m pledging $50 for Terri”).

We only call in pledges once we’ve hit the goal.

You don’t send any money yet – just your promise to help when it’s needed most.

**********************************

We've got until 8pm to decide - operate or euthanise?

We urgently need to hear from our community.

As you guys know, this is 'Croc Mum', now affectionately called Terri (Irwin).

So far, she's beat all the odds. Being born a stray, surviving into adulthood, birthing and rearing her pups, fighting off packs of stray dogs, and even being rescued from the jaws of a croc!!!

And now, her life hangs in the balance.

Terri has pyometra (a life-threatening infection of the uterus) and is currently at the 24/7 Emergency Vets in Cairns.

Even with a generous discount, the lovely vet explained that this is a complex issue that requires lots of additional non-surgical management on top of the actual surgical procedure.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just removing her uterus (believe us, we asked!!!).

We also asked if Terri could go home on antibiotics and see if she improves enough to make it a less complex surgery, but unfortunately, it's expected that Terri is going to go downhill rapidly and wouldn't respond to antibiotics.

We've been quoted $4000 to operate on Terri.

Our question to our RAA Family is this - what should we do?!

We simply don't have the funds available to afford this surgery without appealing to our community for donations (or a LOT of merch sales on our new shop!!!).

But how often can we realistically ask you guys to contribute?!

We think we owe it to Terri to at least put it out there, and see what our community wants to do.

We essentially have two options....

1) Send Terri to doggy heaven, saving our appeal for other situation/s where we could possibly save more lives with the same amount of donations

OR

2) Raise the money to save her.

None of us behind the scenes here at RAA enjoy having the power to determine an animal's fate like this - so we're handing it over to our community.

FEEDBACK NEEDED - please share your thoughts below.

Is there a stage at which it's more effective to be more selective about who we try to save, and opt for Terri's euthanasia - knowing that we will need to save more lives at a lower price tag down the line? Or should we appeal to our community each time and see what we can do?

We are genuinely worried that our supporters will feel as though we're 'crying wolf' and not respecting how hard everyone works for their money, or not trying hard enough to raise the funds via other avenues (we spent all of last weekend working hard, in our own time, to launch our online shop and create yet ANOTHER revenue stream for RAA).

Over to you guys now! Tell us your thoughts.

‼️IMPORTANT - if you believe our community should try to save Terri AND are willing to contribute to her fees, please include a pledged donation amount in your comment. If we get enough proposed pledges, we will update the post to officially become a pledge post to try and save Terri's life by 8pm when she is due to head into surgery.

Please be respectful of each other in the comments ! There may be differing views amongst our community, but we're all here for the same reason - we're fighting hard to create a better life for dogs in need.

And of course - we always welcome donations, Simparica Trio subscriptions, charity draw entries and online shop purchases to support our efforts!
