Bunny is a very special girl.
She is one of our shyest residents and because of that tends to be overlooked as she chooses life at her own pace.
But Bunny is one very cool cat. At five-years-old, she is an independent gal who likes to do her own thing but once she trusts her human she is just as affectionate as other other furry friend.
Unfortunately, Bunny had to leave her home as her former families' life circumstances changed meaning she could no longer be cared for. But Bunny was loved.
Now she is looking for another chance to be part of a family that will treasure her forever.
Bunny is a thoughtful, gentle soul who finds comfort in calm spaces and quiet company. She’s independent and happiest when she has soft blankets, cosy hideaways, and a peaceful home to relax in. Let's share this beautiful baby's face and get her a home right away!

We believe every pet deserves the opportunity to access critical care in their time of need.
Even when their person can't afford it.
That’s why we are calling on everyone to support the 24 hours only Pet Care Crisis Appeal this Wednesday September 10.

Buzz loves a picnic!
As a stray coming into our adoption centre, Buzz was nervous. He was jumpy and fearful. He flinched during his medical exam and didn’t want to be in a place he didn’t recognise.
We understood that completely and we let him take his time to settle into his new surroundings.
We did make him a promise though...we told Buzz that when he is feeling better, we would find him the best home ever!
Buzz slowly started engaging with our staff and volunteers; his way of telling us he wasn’t so scared anymore and that he trusts us.
He started to want to go for walks, play with toys, and be a happy doggo that he deserves to be.
His favourite all time activity? Going on a picnic with all his favourite toys and treats. Our two-year-old cutie certainly has come a long way and is now ready to find his forever home!
Ideally a home with a large backyard for Buzz to run around would suit best. And of course…..lots of picnic time!

For eight years, Cath and her beloved dog Baz have brought comfort and joy to patients at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre through Lort Smith’s Pet Therapy Program.

Cath has also been a loyal supporter for over a decade—and recently made a truly heartfelt decision. She’s included a gift in her Will to Lort Smith, ensuring the powerful bond between people and animals continues to thrive for generations.

Gifts in Wills from animal lovers like Cath are vital to helping Lort Smith care for vulnerable animals when they need it most.

“I hope others will consider leaving a gift too—it’s a beautiful way to support the animals you love, especially when life takes unexpected turns,” says Cath.

This week, as we celebrate Include a Charity in Your Will Week, Lort Smith is shining a light on the powerful impact of leaving a gift in your Will to a cause close to your heart. It’s a beautiful way to create a lasting legacy of love and compassion. To find out more visit: https://lortsmith.com/support-our-work/bequests/

At just seven months old, Rex arrived at our Campbellfield Adoption Centre through no fault of his own.
His previous family could no longer care for him anymore so this pup, who loves nothing more than to play tug toy games, found himself starting a new journey.
Although initially a bit confused about his change of circumstances, Rex’s bright eyes burn with intelligence and enthusiasm for a new life; one that has ‘’forever’’ written all over it.
Rex dreams of weekend car rides (especially with the window down so he can feel the breeze in his fur!), yummy treats and endless cuddle time with his future humans.
He’s eager to learn and thrives with mental stimulation. Please help us by sharing Rex’s beautiful little face. Together we can give him the loving home he truly deserves.
Rex and his waggly tail will be waiting patiently at our Campbellfield Adoption Centre Adoption centre.

Lort Smith Animal Hospital is delighted to announce AFL Women's North Melbourne Women's captain Jasmine Garner as one of our newest Ambassadors.
Jasmine is a pet mum to Bronson, a nine-year-old Pug x Jack Russell and Honey, her six-year-old German Shepherd.
‘’Animals bring so much love, joy and loyalty into our lives, and I love that Lort Smith works so hard to make sure they’re cared for and supported,’’ says Jasmine.
‘’For me, it’s a chance to give back, help raise awareness, and be part of something that makes a real difference for pets and their people.’’
Lort Smith CEO, Frances Mirabelli, said Jasmine was perfect for the role.
‘’Our Ambassadors generously volunteer their time to share our vision and highlight the incredible work we do,’’ says Frances.
‘’We look forward to collaborating with Jasmine on a variety of projects in the future that support our mission to keep pets and their people healthy and together."

Update: Luna and Pepper have been adopted!!!

Book Week Bunnies!
Say hello to Luna and Pepper, a bonded duo of buns who just love books, treats and cuddles.
The best mates arrived at our Campbellfield Adoption Centre after their former family had to move and were unable to provide for them anymore.
The three-year-olds do everything as a team, from exploring to dining on their favourite leafy greens.
They are so sweet and even groom each other and rest their heads together when having bunny naps.
Because they love each other so much, they will need to be adopted together.
Luna and Pepper absolutely love people. They’re incredibly friendly, affectionate, and enjoy being part of the household. Expect curious nudges, gentle sniffs, and the occasional flop beside you when they’re feeling especially relaxed.
This delightful pair are used to living as free-range indoor bunnies, with some supervised outdoor time to soak up the sun and do a few joyful zoomies. They’re clean, social, and well-adjusted to home life.
If you’re looking for a pair of affectionate, social bunnies to brighten your home, Luna and Pepper are ready to hop into your life and your heart. Please fill out an expression of interest form or come down to the adoption centre to meet them!
