Meet Macadamia, affectionately known as Mac 🐾

Mac is a gorgeous Maremma x Stumpy-Tail Cattle Dog mix, and as you can probably imagine from that combination, he’s a wonderful dog with a big personality and a few quirks of his own!

Mac is neutral when meeting new people out & about, but if you are apart of his family, he absolutely loves you. ❤️ He gets along wonderfully with children and loves being included in family life.

Mac is BALL OBSESSED! If there’s a ball involved, you’ve definitely found the way to his heart. He enjoys doing things on his own terms, and while his recall isn’t his strongest skill, throw a ball and suddenly he’s very interested in what you have to say! 😂

For this reason, we recommend Mac isn’t let off leash in unfenced public spaces, as he may decide to head off on his own little adventure. His leash skills are generally good, and he isn’t reactive to other dogs while on lead.

Mac enjoys spending time with his doggy friends, but he is also perfectly happy as an only dog, provided he is included as part of the family. He doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety and is happy to be home alone, but when you’re home, he would much rather be involved in whatever you’re doing including plenty of relaxing together. He is completely toilet trained & past the chewing puppy stage as well

Mac has previously lived with chickens. However, since returning to foster care, he has shown that he is not suitable to live with cats or pocket pets, as he enjoys chasing them.

Mac is a lovely, quirky boy who will thrive with a family who understands his personality, appreciates his independent streak and is happy to include him in their everyday life. ❤️

Mac’s ideal home:
🐾 A family who will include him as part of the family
🐾 Children are welcome
🐾 Happy as an only dog or with a suitable canine companion
🐾 Securely fenced property
🐾 Someone who understands that off-leash adventures aren’t for Mac
🐾 No cats or pocket pets
And, most importantly… someone prepared to throw A LOT of balls!

💕 Meet Joey!💕

With his chubby cheeks and big paws, how could you not fall in love with this handsome boy? 🥹🐾 Joey is ready to find his forever home, hopefully alongside his sister, Phoebe.

Joey and Phoebe were found abandoned together in a cardboard box, and now they’re looking for the loving, safe home they deserve, although not litter mates they are best of friends. ❤️

Like his sister, Joey can be timid at first, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and entertaining personality shines through!

Once Joey has warmed up to you, he’ll keep you laughing with his playful antics and hilarious choice of sleeping spots. 😂 While he’s a little less cuddly than Phoebe, Joey has his own special way of showing affection — whether that’s burrowing under the blankets or snuggling up under a pillow with you.

Joey absolutely adores his sister, with the pair spending most of their time playing and cuddling together. 💗 While they don’t have to be adopted as a pair, they would LOVE to spend the rest of their lives together, and we would love nothing more than to see them find a home where they can continue to be side by side.

Due to their personalities, Joey and Phoebe will be best suited to a quieter home without young children or other pets, where they can settle in at their own pace.

If you have room in your heart for a handsome boy with big cheeks, bigger paws and a whole lot of love to give, Joey might just be your perfect match! And if you can offer a home to two, Phoebe would love to come along for the adventure. 🏡💕

💕 Meet Phoebe! 💕

Phoebe is the sweetest, softest girl who is ready to find her forever home, hopefully alongside her brother, Joey. 🐱💗

Phoebe and Joey were found abandoned together in a cardboard box, and now they’re looking for the loving, safe home they deserve.

While Phoebe can be timid at first, once she comes out of her shell, she’s the sweetest girl who will keep you entertained with her adorable antics! Most of the time, you’ll find her playing or cuddling with her brother Joey. As she grows more comfortable in her environment, she’s also becoming increasingly cuddly with her humans. 🥹💕

Phoebe and Joey don’t have to be adopted together, but they absolutely would LOVE to spend the rest of their lives side by side. Having been through so much together, we would love to see them find a home where they can continue to share their lives. ❤️

Due to their personalities, Phoebe and Joey will be best suited to a quieter home without young children where they can settle in at their own pace.

Phoebe will also need regular brushing to keep her beautiful coat looking its best. 🪮✨

If you’re looking to add two of the sweetest cats to your life, look no further than Phoebe and Joey! And if you can only offer a home to one, Phoebe would still love to meet you. 🏡💗

💔💔 WE REALLY, REALLY NEED YOUR HELP 💔💔

Sometimes rescue throws everything at you at once, and this week has been one of those weeks. We have had several major medical cases needing urgent veterinary treatment, and the costs are quickly adding up.

We never want finances to be the reason an animal has to suffer. When they need us, we do everything we can to help. But right now, we desperately need your support. 💔

🐾 Maisy, four years old and already endured so much

Some of you may remember Maisy, who had an emergency C-section just a few months ago. At only four years old, she has already had four litters of puppies.

Just as things were looking up, a dental clean revealed large bladder stones. She had been urinating blood and passing small stones herself.

We couldn’t wait to fundraise first. Maisy needed urgent surgery on Monday, and we had to help her. Just look at the size and roughness of the stones that were sitting in her poor little bladder. 💔 She deserves a chance at a safe, happy life.

🐾 Wombat is just 16 weeks old

Wombat is a sweet little kitten who has been living with a broken leg for an unknown number of days, receiving little to no treatment.

When our partnering vet asked for help, how could we say no? He is just a baby who should be playing and exploring, not suffering in pain.

We urgently need to raise funds for his amputation this weekend to end his suffering and give him the chance of a happy, pain-free future. 💔

🐾 Sage is only one year old

Sage is a Border Collie who was being given away for having too much energy.

She arrived in care with holes all over her neck from an electric collar that had been too tight. Although the wounds have healed, she will carry the scars for life.

Just as we were preparing to put her up for adoption, Sage started limping on both front legs. Some of her toe bones have fragmented due to sesamoiditis and there are concerns about further injuries. She will be travelling four hours to see a specialist next week for further scans.

This young girl deserves a chance to run, play and enjoy life without pain after she’s already suffered so much❤️‍🩹

THREE ANIMALS. THREE MAJOR MEDICAL CASES. ONE VERY STRETCHED RESCUE.

And sadly, this doesn’t even include the new cats and puppies we’ve taken into care this week from pounds where they were facing euthanasia. They needed us, and we couldn’t turn our backs on them.

Between emergency surgeries, specialist appointments, medication and everyday care for all our animals, the costs are overwhelming.

If you can spare even $5, $10 or $20, every single donation makes a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this post. Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to.

We know times are tough, and we never take your support for granted. But right now, we desperately need our community behind us.

We said YES to Maisy, Wombat and Sage because they needed someone in their corner. Please help us keep saying YES to the animals who need us most. 💔🐾

Honey 🍯

I may be very shy at first, but give me a bit of time for me to gain your trust and I'll soon be headbutting your hand and politely requesting chin scratches. Also I am fond of firm back scratches and have been told I have a strong purr engine.

For most of my life I have been a solo cat and I prefer the company of humans to other felines. I am very good at entertaining myself by sleeping all day then requesting food and attention at night. I would be best suited as a single cat household but I am totally fine to be left at home alone if you work away during the day.

Apart from sleep, food is my next favourite thing and when I get excited my tail does a little excited quiver. If you lose track of dinner time I will meow to remind you.🍖

Loud noises are a bit scary or too many new people, so I would prefer a quieter house. And I am not too fond of change so please be patient with me as I adapt.

Reach out if you want to meet sweet Honey, or even a first virtual meeting to gain a sense of her personality. 🐝

Come see Maggie anytime during opening hours at Petstock Currumbin 😻🩷

If you're looking for a calm, loving companion who will happily spend her days relaxing by your side, Maggie might just be your perfect match.

This beautiful girl has the sweetest nature. Her absolute favourite thing in the world is receiving head scratches, and she'll gently head bunt your hand whenever she thinks it's time for more (which, according to Maggie, is often!). She's an incredibly affectionate cat with a loud happy purr - and if she's especially content, she even drools a little from pure happiness.

Maggie is mostly a relaxed, easy-going girl who enjoys a peaceful lifestyle, although she still has the occasional burst of playful energy that reminds you she's young at heart. Whether she's chasing a toy for a few minutes or curling up nearby for a nap, she's simply happiest being close to her people.🥰

Maggie would thrive in a quiet home where she can enjoy all the love and attention she deserves. She'd be perfectly happy as the only cat, soaking up every head scratch for herself. However, she has successfully lived with other cats before and is able to coexist well with a respectful feline companion—she simply isn't interested in being best friends or engaging in lots of play together.

Because she enjoys a calm environment, Maggie would be best suited to a home without very young children, or with older, cat-savvy children who understand and respect feline boundaries.
