"Tales from Our Home" - 80 years of dog rescue This is a book sure to set tails wagging as we open the vault on 80 years of history at the Dogs' Refuge Home. It is a story of dedication, perseverance and unwavering belief that dogs are valued members of our society and deserve to be treated with love, care and above all, compassion.

It is also the story of more than 80 rescue dogs, lovingly adopted and embraced by their new "furever" families. Tales of triumph, humour, courage and pure joy will have every dog lover laughing out loud and no doubt shedding a tear or two. This special 80th Anniversary collection has been produced by volunteers and kind sponsors, with every dollar raised going to the Dogs' Refuge Home. Available from the Dogs' Refuge Home office and also via our online store. Can you lend a hand? We're always looking for dog lovers who are able to volunteer their time to walk our dogs or help with their care. It would be great if you could spare some time. Many of our dogs do not cope well in a kennel environment because of stress or even depression. We always need foster carers to take in these special dogs. Our qualified trainers are now running classes for both adult dogs and puppies. Have a look at how these classes will benefit you and your dog. In accordance with the philosophy and operation of Save-A-Dog Scheme as a "no kill" animal welfare organisation SADS honours its charter and saves all animals, both companion and otherwise, which come into its care, with the unavoidable exception of a very small percentage of animals which are deemed dangerous and therefore cannot be returned to the community.

This small percentage is accepted internationally as integral when using the term "no kill". This save rate leaves SADS with some dogs and cats which are homeable but which do have characteristics which makes them unsuitable for some homes and therefore they do stay with SADS for a long time waiting for that appropriate person/situation to come along. Happily when the right match is eventually found the adopter is usually delighted with the animal and expresses enormous concern that their now much loved companion might not have been kept alive, and gratitude that it was loved and cared for by SADS until they found it. Our long stayers are now waiting for the appropriate matching and can be found on our website. They can be identified by ***Long Stayer*** next to their name UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and the NO KILL COMMITMENT Inherent in the No Kill commitment is our reluctant acknowledgement and acceptance of the sad fact that some cats and kittens brought to the shelter have not been socialised with humans.

Because they will always be very dangerous to handle, unless they can be desexed and released as registered to a carer, they cannot be saved. There is however another category of cats and kittens which will probably always be timid and unaffectionate to humans. These creatures are harmless, decorative, and friendly to other cats but need a home where confidence and demonstrative affection is not an indispensable requirement. Because of its no kill commitment Save-A-Dog Scheme keeps these cats for as long as is necessary to rehome them but it must of course eventually find homes for them. To this end we are initiating a program called the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ADOPTION PROGRAM for those whose love of cats and support for the non-kill commitment is unconditional. Perhaps your home already has one confident and very loving cat and the addition to the household of a cat that may never be confident and affectionate but whose life can be saved by an altruistic adoption would endorse your claims of love for a creature which is freely given rather than paid for with the demands of affection.

In order to save the lives of many of the cats and kittens in our care those who believe in the no kill commitment must accept that some adoptions must be based on altruistic motives. Our "Unconditional Love Program" cats are now waiting for the appropriate matching and can be found on our website. They can be identified by ***Unconditional Love Program*** next to their name Leave a Gift in your Will Have you ever considered leaving a gift in your Will, to help Save-A-Dog Scheme, TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK YOU BELIEVE IN? Your bequest means a lot to SADS. It enables SADS to continue to save companion animals which would otherwise be killed, and to plan for and safeguard the future of this important work. For 30 years SADS has been an established leader in the No-Kill movement saving thousands of lives throughout metropolitan and country Victoria through its operation of a regional animal pound, country rehoming programs and by accepting and caring for dogs and cats whose owners can no longer keep them.
