We know that for rescue dogs in care, having adequate training can often make a huge difference to their adoption prospects. So, when Desperate for Love Dog Pound Rescue in WA (DFL) applied for one of Missy’s Mini Grants for behavioural training support for some of their higher needs and long-term dogs we wanted to help.
The first of our Missy’s Mini Grant awards this year goes to Amazing Greys Greyhound Rescue Victoria!
We were lucky enough to meet Stephen and Luna when she was still a foster dog, but it was obvious even then that they had an incredibly special bond and when we heard that she was going with him when he moves to Ireland later this year, we were over the moon! Here's a little insight into their story....
Many people are wary of fostering as they worry that they won't be able to say goodbye to dogs that they have fallen in love with. While this is completely understandable, Emily, a foster carer with Greyhound Adoptions WA explains why, for her, saying goodbye can actually be such a rewarding experience.
Whether you have a BIG idea for helping rescue dogs, or a slightly smaller but just as valuable one, we want to help you get your plan off the ground and help you make a real and lasting change to the lives of rescue dogs!
August is once again Focus on Foster Care month at SavourLife, and we're really excited to be shining a light on some of the real life super heroes who are absolutely essential in keeping rescue groups all over Australia going.
Last year we awarded Maggie's Rescue a Missy's Mini Grant to allow them to develop their Building Better Behaviour Program
We are very proud that our Adopt-A-Dog platform has now helped bring so many pups and families together, while at the same time providing financial assistance for the rescue groups who are doing all the hard work.
We’re very proud to announce a new partnership with the amazing team at the Rainbow Paws Program! We have recently awarded them a $10,000 grant to help fund their Hotel Bookings program, providing emergency pet boarding for vulnerable members of the community.
