Another oldie sat at the pound 😭
If you can open up your heart and home to this beautiful boy please contact Camden Council Animal Care Facility

💙 Meet Percy 💙

At 12 years young, Percy has reached that wonderful stage of life where he knows exactly what he likes…

And he's got places to be, smells to investigate and absolutely no time to waste.

Percy is a sweet old soul with that unmistakable Husky personality. He'll happily wander over to say hello, soak up some affection and enjoy a VERY good bum scratch…

But can you hold his attention when there's a particularly interesting patch of grass three metres away?

Probably not.
And honestly, we respect his priorities.

Percy loves spending time pottering around the yard, following his nose and investigating whatever catches his interest. He's still curious about the world around him and very much likes doing things the Percy way.

But don't mistake that independence for a lack of affection.

This lovely older gentleman genuinely enjoys being around people and will happily seek you out for some love — particularly if you're willing to commit to the aforementioned bum scratches.

At 12 years old, Percy isn't looking for someone to keep him entertained every minute of the day. He'd love a home where he can enjoy the simple things: a yard to explore, interesting smells to sniff, a comfortable spot to relax and someone nearby when he's ready for a little love.

He's got a few more years behind him than some of our other dogs, but there's still plenty of curiosity, sweetness and classic Husky personality packed into this old boy. 💙

Lately I'm noticing there is a lot going wrong within animal welfare. And do you know what’s turning my stomach the most at the moment? The rescues and pounds that are losing sight of the dogs in their care.

Yes I said rescues AND pounds. Because having the word rescue attached to your name doesn't automatically mean you're doing right by an animal and working in a pound doesn't mean you get a free pass either.

Before anyone jumps down my throat I’m absolutely not saying this is every rescue or every pound. There are some amazing rescues and pounds out there doing exactly what they should be doing and putting the dogs first. I’m talking about the ones who AREN’T.

These dogs are completely dependent on the people responsible for them. They don't get to choose where they live, who handles them, whether they're properly assessed, whether they receive the veterinary care they need or what happens to them.

YOU make those decisions for them.

And with that comes a DUTY OF CARE.
A duty to keep them safe.
A duty to recognise when something isn't right.
A duty to provide appropriate veterinary care.
A duty to make decisions based on the individual dog's needs.
A duty to advocate for them when they cannot advocate for themselves.

So when a pound refuses to work with a rescue and a dog remains rotting in a kennel when there is an opportunity for them to move into safety, that dog is the one who lives with the consequences.

When a rescue takes a dog into care but doesn't provide the veterinary treatment they need, doesn't properly assess them, or sends them on without addressing their needs, that dog is the one who lives with the consequences.

These are not just animals passing through a system.
They are YOUR responsibility while they are in YOUR care.

And that responsibility doesn't disappear because they're difficult.
It doesn't disappear because they're expensive.
It doesn't disappear because they're old.
It doesn't disappear because they're inconvenient.
And it certainly doesn't disappear because doing the right thing is harder than doing the easy thing.

The organisation doesn't come first.
The reputation doesn't come first.
The numbers don't come first.
The ego doesn't come first.
The dog does.

Ultimately you are the one making decisions for an animal who has no say in what happens to them.

And if you’re not prepared to put their welfare first, advocate for them and fulfil the duty of care you’ve taken on, then maybe it’s time to seriously question why you’re doing this at all.

Because if you’ve lost sight of the animal then you have no business making decisions for them.

Bobby is still waiting for someone to give him a chance 💔

He’s not asking for much. He doesn’t need big adventures or a perfect Instagram worthy lifestyle. He just wants somewhere to rest his head, someone to love and a home to call his own.

Bobby would be happiest in a home where someone is around more often than not. He really enjoys having his people nearby and would suit someone who can give him plenty of company throughout the day.

We know his person is out there. We just haven’t found them yet. Senior dogs are so often overlooked, especially the big ones. But Bobby still has so much love to give and deserves better than being passed over again and again.
So if you’ve been looking for a reason to adopt an older dog…Maybe this is it 💙

Bobby is:
✅️ Dog friendly
✅️ Desexed

Since my last post about senior dogs I’ve noticed even more of them appearing in pounds and rescues looking for homes. It’s upsetting to see just how many older dogs are sitting there waiting for someone to choose them.

I’ve got one sitting here with me right now. An old dog that for whatever reason nobody seems to want. I wish more people would consider opening their home to a senior 💔

They really are an absolute joy to have around. They’ve got their personality and they know what they like. They’re generally happy just being with you and they appreciate having a comfortable bed, a full belly and someone to love.

Seniors might not have years and years ahead of them but that doesn’t mean the time they do have isn’t incredibly valuable.

So if you’re thinking about adding another dog to your family please have a look at the seniors too. You might just find that old dog who has been waiting for someone to finally choose them. And trust me they’ll be bloody grateful that you did.

Bobby is 11. Even though his owner knew he was at the pound they failed to pick him up. He spent six weeks waiting there before coming into care and we’ve had no interest in him since. Bobby is dog friendly and gets on well with dogs of all ages and sizes. He will need a home where someone is home more often than not as he can fret when left alone for too long.

If you’re in New South Wales please consider giving this old boy a chance 💛🐾

Surely there’s someone out there for Bobby 💔 he may be 11, but he certainly hasn’t realised it. Bobby is still an active boy with plenty of life and love left to give.

He’s dog friendly and can happily live with another dog, but Bobby really is a people dog. He needs a home where someone is home more often than not as he can fret when left alone for too long.

Bobby deserves to find his new humans and a home where he can enjoy his golden years, getting out and about and being part of the family 💙

Rescue is a really horrible gig at this time.

Too many animals are and will be born to suffer like never before.

I will not blame the cost of living.

I will blame the people who continue to breed.

I will blame those that feel entitled to have a furry family member they cannot afford to care for.

I will blame those with power who do nothing to change and enforce the so called laws.

Yet look at this kiddo who has lived a life of misery up until last weekend.

Happy content blissfully relaxed with nothing to indicate a traumatic past.

Animals hearts and souls are pure.

They really are superior in so many ways.

Be kind to them please we are literally begging .

Us humans have a lot to answer for.

If you are allowing your dog or cat to breed.

You dont love animals.

Theres no such thing as an accidental litter.

If you have an entire animal its up to you to ensure theres no chance they can't breed.

People are the problem.

One day we hope more than ever us humans will wake up be kind and stop the suffering of those that need us.

Honestly folks animals are sooo forgiving so innocent so vulnerable.

We need to do better as a community.

How is Bobby STILL waiting for his forever home? 🥺💙

Bobby is 11 years young and has absolutely no plans of behaving like a senior 😂 He’s active, has plenty of personality and a healthy amount of sass. He also happens to be a very enthusiastic food critic, so if you’re cooking dinner you can expect Bobby to be right there keeping a close eye on things.

He’s dog friendly and can happily live with another dog, but Bobby really is a people dog. What Bobby really needs is a home where someone is home more often than not as he does fret when left alone for too long. Someone who works from home, is retired or is home for most of the day would be ideal for Bobby.

Bobby needs someone who wants a big, lovable old bloke to be part of their everyday life. Someone who isn’t put off by his age and understands that senior dogs still have so much love, personality and life left to give.

We know his person is out there somewhere. We just need to find them. 💙
