Peggie is a beautiful 7-year-old Border Collie who has spent her whole life on a farm, until unfortunately, she found herself surrendered through no fault of her own. 💔

Peggie is the definition of a sweet lady. She’s gentle, polite, easygoing and just an absolute sweetheart. 🥹❤️ She still enjoys her daily walks and getting out and about to do all the usual dog things, but she’s also more than happy to enjoy a quiet afternoon snoozing somewhere comfy.

Despite never really being taught the usual dog tricks or manners, Peggie is a pretty well-mannered girl. She doesn’t jump all over you, walks fairly well on a lead (although she’ll benefit from some ongoing training) and isn’t particularly interested in learning to sit. Does she know how? Maybe. Does she want to? Absolutely not. 🤣

Peggie gets along well with other dogs, provided they respect her personal space. She isn’t a fan of rough play or dogs getting right up in her face, and she’ll give a little snap to let them know when enough is enough. She’s also cat-friendly and is fine around livestock and chickens, making her a lovely option for a home with other animals.

This lovely girl would suit a variety of homes, whether that’s a quiet household with an older couple or a family with older, respectful children. She’s looking for a relaxed home where she can enjoy her walks, spend time with her people and have all the comforts she deserves. 🏡💕

At 7 years old, Peggie still has plenty of life to enjoy. She just needs someone willing to give her the loving, stable home she deserves, where she can be part of the family and enjoy the simple things in life.

When Peggie arrived in care, her coat was quite matted, so her wonderful foster carer has given her a much-needed groom and she’s feeling so much better! 🛁💕 To keep her looking and feeling her best, Peggie will need regular brushing (daily or at least several times a week) to keep her coat clean, fluffy and free from mats. A little TLC will go a long way with this beautiful girl!

📅 Peggie will be ready for adoption from 12th November. She has recently had a benign cyst removed and will need her stitches taken out before she can head off to her forever home. We are taking EOI’s now.

Donating to CARMAR is as simple as saving your small change into a donation tin, or dropping off a bag or can of petfood, or even enjoying your passion while making a difference.

Just like the caring Ellie did last week. She understands many rescues go through a huge influx of cats& canines this time of year, so she very generously donated 10 tins of Hill Kidney care senior cat food.
Thankyou so very much Elisa for your continued support, your donations help every single one of our cats and canines in CARMAR care.

Cash donations, food, clean 2nd hand pet equipment, toys, bedding etc are all greatfully accepted by CARMAR.

They go directly toward keeping our foster fids in great physical & mental shape and helping us pay all our Vet & Petfood bills!

Every single donation helps.

Ronnie’s journey is a beautiful reminder of what a little patience and kindness can do. 🥹

Ronnie came into care after a kind member of the public managed to catch him. Having never experienced human interaction before, he was extremely frightened and feral when he first arrived.

But fast forward a little, and this boy is starting to show us just how much potential he has! ❤️

Ronnie has started to come around and is now enjoying pats and even purring! 🥹 He's becoming more comfortable with human affection, and it's been so lovely watching him slowly learn that people aren't so scary after all.

He's still cautious and will need some extra time and patience as he continues to settle, but we genuinely believe this boy has the potential to become a loving companion. He just needs someone willing to give him that chance.

🏡 What sort of home is Ronnie looking for?

We'd love to find Ronnie a quieter home with someone who understands that trust takes time. Someone who can give him a calm environment, gentle reassurance and the freedom to build confidence at his own pace would be ideal.

Ronnie might not be the boldest kitten when you first meet him, but watching him come out of his shell is incredibly rewarding. And with those first pats and little purrs already happening, we're excited to see just how far he can go! ❤️

If you're looking for a kitten you can help grow into a confident, affectionate companion, Ronnie could be the perfect little match.

This gorgeous brother and sister duo are on the hunt for their forever home! 🏡❤️

Lily and Bobby are two little survivors who have been through a lot, but they’re now ready to find their happily ever after.

These two are rarely far apart! Whether they’re grooming each other, playing together, or just hanging out side by side, they’re always keeping an eye on each other. 🥹❤️

Both can be a little shy when meeting new people or settling into a new environment, but give them a little time, patience and love, and you’ll see their beautiful affectionate personalities shine through.

They would suit a quieter home where they can settle in at their own pace, and they do well with other cats too.

They don’t have to be adopted together, but seeing them head off into the sunset together would honestly make our hearts so happy. 🥹💕 They’ve been through so much, and being able to keep this little brother-and-sister bond would be pretty special!

💰 Adoption fees:
🐱 Single cat: $150
🐱🐱 Lily & Bobby together: $250

Could you be the forever home these two have been waiting for? Or better yet, could you be the person who lets them stay together? 🏡

Looking for a ginger ninja? 🧡

We’ve got two handsome ginger boys looking for their furever homes! 🐈

🧡 Cash – Our chatty, food-loving boy who’s more than happy to make himself at home! Once he gets to know you, he’s affectionate and loves getting attention. Give him a little time to settle in and you’ll have a lovely companion. Would also make a good farm cat!
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1176833

🐈 Arlo – Our handsome ginger goofball who’s been waiting far too long for his furever home! He can be a little shy at first, but treats are the way to his heart. Once he trusts you, his playful, curious personality shines through. Expect entertainment and plenty of ginger chaos! 😂
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1188133

Both boys deserve a family of their own. Could you be the one they’ve been waiting for? 🧡

📩 Send CARMAR a message to enquire about adopting Cash or Arlo!

Recently, our community has shown us just how wonderful it really is. The support we’ve received has been absolutely incredible, and we honestly can’t thank you all enough! ❤️

Unfortunately, kitten season is well and truly here, and our phones are ringing multiple times every single day with calls about lost, found, stray and dumped kittens (and their mummas, too 😭).

We currently have 29 cats and kittens in care (and more lined up to come), with 18 needing vet work over the next 4–6 weeks! 🐱

We’re incredibly lucky to have a wonderful vet who gives us discounted rates, but even with those discounts, the costs are huge

💸 We’re looking at approximately $5,000 just for routine desexing, microchipping and vaccinations for those 18 cats and kittens. And that doesn't include specialist medications or additional care needed for some of our sick babies.

A little reminder that every cent we spend is fundraised or donated by our community. We don’t receive government funding or grants, so every vet bill, bag of food and tiny life we save is made possible by people like you.

Oh, and let's not forget the 6 dogs also currently in our care! 🐶

We know times are tough for everyone right now, and we completely understand that not everyone can donate. But if you can spare even $1, it genuinely helps us keep saying yes to animals who desperately need us.

Every dollar adds up, and every donation helps us give these little ones the safe, healthy future they deserve. ❤️

Can’t donate? That's okay! Sharing this post helps us reach more people and makes a difference, too.

Want to donate supplies instead? We have a donation bin at Petstock Echuca, and food and supplies are still very much needed to keep all those hungry little bellies full!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported CARMAR, donated, shared our posts, fostered, volunteered or simply cheered us on. It takes a village to save them, and we're so grateful to have ours. ❤️

21/10/2026
