🐶 FOUND A STRAY DOG IN NSW?
Here’s what to do to keep them safe ❤️(Companion Animals Act 1998 NSW)

1. If the dog is injured or unwell -
Take them straight to your nearest VET or RSPCA NSW.
They’ll provide immediate care and scan for a microchip.
You won’t be charged for handing in a stray (Section 64).

2. If the dog is healthy and friendly -
Your LOCAL COUNCIL is legally responsible for stray dogs in NSW (Section 64).
Contact your council ranger service so they can collect the dog and start the reunification process.

3. If it’s after hours or you can’t reach council -
A vet can safely take the dog (Section 8).
Vets are authorised to:
- Scan for a microchip
- Contact the owner
- Keep the dog secure overnight
- Notify council when they reopen

This is often the safest and least stressful option for the dog.

4. If you can safely contain the dog -
Keep them in a secure yard or enclosed space while you wait for help.
If the dog is frightened or reactive, don’t try to handle them - call council for assistance.

💛 Why this matters!
Getting a stray dog to the right place quickly helps them get home faster and keeps them safe from traffic, injury, and stress.
Thank you for caring for animals in our community.🙏

⚠️⚠️ FOUND - FORSTER KEYS ⚠️⚠️

This lovely doggo, who is not microchipped, was found running on the road at Forster Keys today.

We do not have a free enclosure to keep her safe and the lovely person who found her, cannot hold onto her, as she lives on the top floor of an apartment building where pets are not allowed.

PLEASE SHARE and help us get this beautiful girl to safety ASAP. Please message us with any information. Thank you 🙏

✨ Two little boys, one big dream: a forever home. ✨

Tomorrow, the last of Saxon’s three sisters will head off to their new family. So today, our confident little man moved in with Sprout - our once‑terrified street kitten who came to us having never felt a human hand. 😢

Sprout arrived in July at just 8 weeks old, trembling and unsure of the world. Now, at 9 months, he melts into cuddles, soaks up affection, and has the SOFTEST COAT and the MOST BREATHTAKING EYES. He’s still a gentle, timid soul… but we’re hoping Saxon’s bright, confident energy will help him blossom even more. 🌼

Saxon, born at Sweet Pea on October 23, is the last of his gorgeous litter still waiting for his family. He’s playful, affectionate, and already showing Sprout how to be brave. 😇

These two beautiful boys are patiently waiting for the humans who will love them forever. 💛

🙏 PLEASE SHARE to help Sprout and Saxon find their people.
Your share could be the one that changes their lives.

🐾💛

🎉 DOUBLE ADOPTION CELEBRATION! 🎉
Two of our precious rescue babies found their forever homes yesterday, and our hearts are absolutely bursting 💖

🐶 ELLIE — our sweet little pup rescued from the pound in November, has officially joined her beautiful new family! She’s now living her best life with her wonderful pawrents, MADI & HANNAH, and her K9 brother, BAZ. After 8 weeks of patiently waiting, this cwazy girl finally has the happy ending she deserves.
✨ A little reminder that her adorable brother, OLLIE, is still waiting for his forever home - and he is pure sweetness!🤎

🐱 SADIE — one of our precious “S” kittens born at Sweet Pea in October - has also headed off to her loving new home with HAZEL & PAUL. Sadie’s mum, SALLY, was abandoned at our gate heavily pregnant. Seeing Sadie now cherished by such a wonderful family is everything we hoped for. Hazel & Paul, long‑time Sweet Pea clients, recently lost their beloved feline family member, Atari, and felt ready to welcome a new little soul into their hearts. We are so honoured they chose Sadie 💕
✨While Sage & Shelby, Sadie's sisters, also have new homes lined up - their dear little bro, SAXON, is still waiting for his - and he is pure perfection! 🖤

Here’s to a year filled with even more happy tails, full hearts, and beautiful new beginnings 🥂🐾
Thank you to both sets of amazing pawrents for choosing to adopt - you’ve changed these little lives forever.

🌟 CLEAN UP DAY SUCCESS! 🌟

Friday was our annual “clean up” day… and WOW, what a day it was! 🧹🔥
Running a rescue takes so much more than caring for the animals you see in our posts - there’s a whole world of behind‑the‑scenes work that keeps everything moving. Yesterday was one of those big, messy, essential jobs that’s tough in the moment but SO satisfying once it’s done! ☺️

And we could NEVER have done it without our absolute superstars:
💛 Kristy ⭐ Cassie ⭐ Jenny ⭐ Claire ⭐ Sherry ⭐ Fiona ⭐ Julie ⭐ Nerida ⭐ and Rob ⭐ (who still showed up with his arm in a sling after shoulder surgery!)

On a stinking hot day🥵, this incredible team rolled up their sleeves and completely transformed our storage shed, shipping container, laundry area, and kitchen. Everything was pulled out, sorted, organised, and repacked with so much care and teamwork. 💪

We also responsibly cleared out around 600kg of items that were no longer usable or suitable for the rescue - making space for what we DO need every day to care for our animals. Some items in good condition will be popping up on Marketplace soon… if our super‑efficient team haven’t already sold them! 😉

To our beautiful, animal‑loving community: THANK YOU! Your donations make our work possible, and we appreciate every single one. We’ll be sharing an updated list soon of the items that are most helpful for us at the rescue. 🙏

Here’s to teamwork, fresh spaces, and the ongoing mission of helping animals in need! 🐾💛

🎥 Join us this evening at 6pm on 7 News, where we talk about our awesome Return & Earn fundraising for 2025!
Meet Sherry, our incredible volunteer who does ALL the hard yards (along with her elusive hubby, Don 😉), the incredible team at Lakes & Ocean Hotel - who provide the bulk of our money earning cans and bottles! And, of course, some of our gorgeous rescue animals! 🐈‍⬛🐕
Local news only, I presume, but we will try and capture some footage to share with our long distance supporters! ✈️
Massive thanks to 7News, Medinah and Justin, who are such wonderful supporters of our rescue work! 🙌🐾 lakesandoceanhotel modankitchen

🌏💚 OUR FIRST YEAR OF RETURN & EARN - WHAT A YEAR IT’S BEEN! 💚🌏

Last week we dropped off our final load of bottles and cans for the year… and thanks to our amazing community, we’ve raised an incredible $4,580.90 through Return and Earn!

Here’s where your recycled treasures came from:
• $3,232.50 — Lakes & Oceans supporters
• $276.40 — Modan Kitchen legends
• $1,069.40 — Our wonderful vollies and their doggie friends
• $46.00 — Forster Fire Station heroes

Every single bottle and can has helped us continue our rescue work, and we couldn’t be more grateful. 🙏

But today, we want to shine a very special spotlight on two extraordinary humans…

💚 Sherry and Don 💚
These two have spent the entire year collecting, sorting, hauling, and returning thousands of bottles and cans. Sherry is even known to pull her car over on the side of the road to rescue a rogue can or bottle 😂 - because every little piece counts for the animals and the planet.

Their dedication, humour, and unstoppable energy have turned “trash” into life‑changing support for animals in need. We are endlessly thankful for them.💞

♻️✨ Here’s to cleaner streets, fewer landfills, and more lives saved - all thanks to you!
Let’s make next year even greener, cleaner, and kinder. ☺️

🌿 Warm Welcome to Timmy 🌿

Everyone, please join us in giving a very warm Sweet Pea welcome to Timmy 💙🐾

This stunning Russian Blue boy was found wandering on a rural property in Kimbriki. It’s believed he was abandoned on a neighbouring property, but thankfully, a compassionate and caring couple stepped in. They have been feeding him, monitoring him, and doing everything they could to keep him safe since April or May this year. Their kindness gave Timmy the chance he needed to survive.🙏

After multiple requests for help and reaching out to several rehoming organisations, we were finally able to offer Timmy a safe place at Sweet Pea last week - and what an absolute sweetheart he is.😍

Timmy is an adult cat, approximately 2–3 years old, and he is super friendly, affectionate, and wonderfully gentle. He has a beautiful temperament with humans and with our other rescue cats. He loves padding his soft sheepskin bedding, soaking up pats, and leaning in for affection. And yes… he is every bit as handsome as he looks 😻✨

This medium-sized boy would make a truly lovely addition to any family.
Keep an eye on our page - Timmy will be available for adoption soon, and we can’t wait to see him find the loving home he deserves.💙🐾

🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR, BEAUTIFUL HUMANS! 🎉

As we count down to midnight and prepare to launch ourselves into 2026, a few very important rules for tonight:

🐾 Rule #1: Keep your pets safe during fireworks - they don’t love the “sky explosions” nearly as much as we do. Snuggles, safe spaces, and early toilet breaks are your best friends tonight.

💛 Rule #2: Keep yourself safe while having as much fun, laughter, and love as possible. Celebrate big, celebrate boldly, celebrate kindly.

🌟 Rule #3: Take a quiet moment to feel gratitude for all the incredible things in our lives - the people, the animals, the small wins, the big joys, and the hope we carry forward.

To our supporters: thank you for your extraordinary kindness throughout 2025. Because of you, countless precious animals who once found themselves homeless now sleep safely in warm, loving homes. That is no small miracle - and it’s one we created together. 💞

To everyone who chose to adopt this year, wherever you are in the world: thank you for opening your heart. You changed a life forever. ❤️

Here’s to compassion, community, and a brand new year filled with possibility.
Happy New Year! 🥂✨

✨ DOUGIE’S SECOND‑CHANCE STORY ✨
Proof that love, patience, and a whole lot of heart can transform a life 💛🐾

When Dougie arrived at Sweet Pea back in January from Taree Pound, he was a gorgeous 6‑month‑old pup with zero training and even fewer manners 🙈. He didn’t know how to walk on a lead, had no idea what was expected of him, and came with plenty of puppy chaos. But he was also affectionate, social, and irresistibly sweet — the kind of boy who wins you over instantly 💕.

We had absolutely NO IDEA what breed he might be… until now! Thanks to a recent DNA test, we finally have the answer — and it’s a cracker 🤣.

🐶✨ Dougie is a mix of SEVEN different breeds!
- 30.1% King Charles Cavalier 👑
- 19.9% Pug 🐾
- 12.5% American Pit Bull Terrier 💪
- 10.7% Staffordshire Bull Terrier ❤️
- 4.3% Rottweiler 🐻
- 4.3% Bull Terrier 🎯

How do you even begin to put a name on that one?! 😂
A perfect reminder of how tricky it can be to guess the breed of dogs who arrive with unknown backgrounds — and why we focus on personality over pedigree every single time.

In late March, Dougie found his forever home with Maggie and her wonderful children, Georgia and Tommy 🌈. Thanks to their commitment, devotion, patience, and love, this once‑unruly pup has blossomed. He’s overcome his teething troubles, learned the ropes, and completely stolen the hearts of his beautiful new family 🏡💛.

✨ What a truly wonderful outcome for this precious boy.
To Maggie, Georgia, and Tommy — thank you. Your kindness has given Dougie the life he always deserved. Your love has changed his world forever 🌟🐾.

Here’s to second chances, unexpected DNA surprises, and the magic that happens when a rescue dog finds their people 💫.
