What is really really sad is the comparison between these 2 boys.
BOTH are crossbreeds of cross breeds
Both are around the same age ( 10 months)
Both have sweet natures
Both are big dogs
One of them has any easy care no nonsense coat
One of them needs regular & daily brushing & grooming
One of them loves car rides & walks well on the lead
One of them is timid & shy, likes to hide from strangers , needs to be lifted into a car & wont walk on a lead
One of them loves other dogs, loves playing with other dogs & is happy with people & firmly believes he is a lap dog.
One of them is frightened to be in open spaces, hides under tables is overwhelmed by too many people & is shy of new dogs around him
One of them has had some training, knows to sit, knows his name & is smart in his own way
One has had no training , jumps up on people & has no impulse control.
Both of them have been in care all their lives
Both of them need a kind loving home
One of them has had a dozen enquiries about him, the other has had no one
One is high maintenance, one is an easy care loveable do**us
Guess which one has people desperately wanting to adopt him, ? the other had no one, despite being the easiest to care for,
It’s a sad world when looks & trends determine who gets a home & who doesn’t

This is Xavier, he needs a forever home
He was very timid & shy when he first arrived but now he likes to be the life of the party.
He isn’t yet 12 months old, has had no training & is a bit of a do**us, but he has come so far in such a short time, he is sure to make an amazing best friend for someone with the right experience to guide him.

Helping possums out with food should have healthy overtones, no rubbishy foods that we indulge in and get sick for it. Possums have to stay fit to survive. Laying down groaning somewhere, feeling fat, poorly and worn out is not an option. Surplus food for possums needs to be vegetables and fruit.

A guide for Brushtails only, very little fruit for Ringtails, feed vegetables if they are in need. Ringtails, need to be in charge of their own fruit intake: they have different dietary needs to Brushtails. Too much fruit can make a Ringtail very sick.

If they are short on native food, Ringtail possums can have the following, squash, capsicum, eggplant, pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini, turnips, spinach, kale, sweet potato, corn, green beans, carrot and a few raw almonds here and there.

…………..

Feeding bread, biscuits, pet food/bird seed, meat products, sweet stuff, junk/fast food, altogether, inappropriate foods, will cause a possum’s health to deteriorate, making them prone to illness and predators. The Possum digestive system is designed to primarily process plant life, so, natural foods only. If they need to catch insects or anything else for other nourishment needs, that is their prerogative and should be left entirely up to them.

Healthy food snacks should be fed in sensible, small amounts and a variety, not too much of one thing. And they should be encouraged to forage for themselves, not become dependent. Possums need their natural plant diet for their well being.

🐾 Dogs are the epitome of loyalty and love. They would never leave us behind, no matter the circumstances. It's up to us to ensure we never leave them behind either. Abandoning a pet is a betrayal of the purest bond imaginable. Let's cherish and honor the lifelong friendship they offer. Every dog deserves the security of a forever home. 🏠❤️
