💙 MEET ME AT ADOPTION DAY: SAT 14 DEC, EAST MELBOURNE 💙 Cloudy is a gorgeous big excitable puppy. His favorite enrichments are food puzzles and he can’t get enough of running around a big yard. He really enjoys getting his energy out but also love a nice lay down in the warm sun as he receives lots of heads scratches and chin rubs! As he is a bigger boy, Cloudy would feel more comfortable living in a home with humans who are secondary school aged and above and may be ok living with other dog friends.

The power of rescue 🐾💙 When DeeDee arrived, she was emaciated, scared, and trying to care for her puppies. But with a warm place to rest and people who believed in her, we knew she would become the affectionate, playful dog she was always meant to be. After a few months in foster care working on her social skills, her true personality emerged—a confident, loving dog, ready to give endless affection and enjoy every moment of her new life. But the work didn’t stop there. Her adoptive family embraced the next chapter of her transformation with patience, love and unwavering commitment. They helped DeeDee continue to grow, not just into a happy, thriving dog, but into the perfect companion for their family. Rescue is a team effort—from the moment we step in, to the foster carers who offer love and care, the families who continue the journey, and the generous donations that help us save more dogs.

🆘 FOSTER FOR MUM AND 7 PUPS DUMPED IN POUND URGENTLY NEEDED 🆘 There is never a good time to be abandoned, but this mum and her 7 tiny puppies have been dumped at a rural pound at the worst possible time. With Christmas around the corner, rescues are overwhelmed, foster carers are scarce, and the clock is ticking. Every moment they stay in the pound is a moment closer to heartbreak. This mum deserves more than cold concrete floors and uncertainty. Her puppies deserve more than to start life in a place that wasn’t made for love or safety. They need a warm, secure home—a place where this mum can nurture her babies without fear. To save this mama and her babies we URGENTLY need a Melbourne foster carer. ✨ Can you foster? Do you have a home in the Melbourne area with a space away from other pets? Please fill out this form: https://form.jotform.com/222302488264858 ✨ Can’t foster? ➖Donate to help us cover their care: strongheartscats.com/donate ➖Like, comment and share this post to spread the word.
