💙 Help Us Help Petey 💙
Poor Petey was collected from the pound just in time — the pound was full, and he had nowhere else to go. Our amazing volunteer Laura quickly rushed down to save him. When she arrived, he was in a heartbreaking state: his fur was severely matted, and he was covered in ticks.
Despite the neglect he’s endured, Petey’s gentle and loving nature has shone through as he’s slowly come out of his shell. Laura took him home, shaved off his tangled coat (what a relief that must’ve been!), treated him for ticks and gave him a good meal.
We believe we know his origins, and if so sadly, he’s the second of his siblings to come into KANE’s care this year 💔. Petey is now being fostered temporarily by the same carer who adopted his sister, meaning the two have been reunited! 🥹
But with more and more dogs and cats coming in — and the numbers only set to rise as we head into the Christmas period — we’re struggling to keep up. Many carers will be away (a well-earned break!), and we simply can’t keep this many dogs here in Kununurra.
Every one of our volunteers works full-time jobs and juggles busy lives, yet they continue to give everything to the animals who need them most.
We need your help to get Petey to Perth, where he’ll receive full vet care, pampering, and the chance to be adopted through the wonderful Oldies but Goodies Rescue. Petey still has a long way to go and is in need of some dedicated training.
