Introducing Iris – Melbourne Dog Adoption – Paws & Tails Rehoming

Beautiful Iris has so much love to give, that she even has a heart on the end of her nose!

Iris is deaf, and will need a very special home with someone who will keep her entertained with lots and lots of walks and playtime, and who will invest the time in her training to show her that new people aren’t so scary. Despite her deafness, Iris knows commands such as sit and come, and today she even mastered drop! She was quite keen on all the other dogs at the park today, there was lots of butt sniffing. Because of her deafness, she can’t go off lead, but she makes up for it by playing soccer with her foster mum on a very long leash instead.

She is quite wary of strangers – when I turned up for our shoot today she was quite hesitant of me. After a few treats, pats, and promise of walkies, she came round, but she will need someone willing to build her trust. She is very protective of her foster mum, and would do anything for her as you can see below.

This sweet girl has had a tough start and would love nothing more than to find her perfect home. If you would like to find out more about Iris, please contact PAT (Paws and Tails) Rehoming to see if she is right for you.

 

Mastering her “drop” command – such a clever girl!

RSPCA Melbourne Santa Paws – Donna The Pug

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Donna the Pug, who aside from being an Instagram star, is also the ambassador for the RSPCA Santa Paws – Santa photos for you and your pet!  I sat down and had a chat with Donna (and her human Sally) and got to know her a little better.

Donna was surrendered to the RSPCA earlier this year, and was overweight with eye and ear infections. She had also had several litters of pups, and needed an operation on her soft palate (apparently her snoring was a noise to behold). She went into foster care with Sally while she recovered, and sure enough – Sally was a complete foster failure. Here are some fun facts about Donna:

  • Donna, like most of us ladies, is working hard to get her best bikini body. She came into the care of the RSPCA at twelve kilos, and has lost two, with her goal weight of eight or nine kilos. She keeps fit with two walks a day and runs on the beach.
  • Donna had never played with toys before going into foster care! Now she loves them, although it took her a while to figure out what they were for.
  • Donna has her very own couch. Well, technically it’s the human’s couch but Donna says it’s hers.
  • She pretends to not like her Staffy brother Jet but has been busted snuggling up with him when the humans aren’t looking.
  • Donna’s birthday is the 20th of April, which makes her a Taurus.

Donna would love to see you at Santa Paws, so head on over to the RSPCA website to book (bookings close Thursday evening), or turn up on the day.Santa Paws is always a huge amount of fun, and while you’re at the shelter you can also check out their retail products (great for stocking stuffers), and you might even find another addition to your family – there are dozens of sweet cats and dogs who would love to have a home in time for Christmas!
