Rainbow Bridge
Unfortunately, these dogs and cats didn't make it. Hopefully they are now running happily over the rainbow bridge.
Ragdoll - male
Sadly Teddy was discovered to have an intestinal tumour. Surgery was done to investigate and possibly remove the tumour but sadly it turned out to be too large, and had already spread throughout his body.
Teddy is just that... a big Teddy Bear !! He is very laid back and placid. He is very friendly loves people and is very cuddly and smoochy. he likes to follow you around and rub against your legs. He is great to groom and just lays there purring. He settles in quickly and easily into new environments. He requires a home where he will be kept indoors only and needs to be brushed once to twice a week. He is fine with other cats and not phased by dogs. He is a big handsome boy with stunning blue eyes.
DMH - male
Sadly Sebastian was PTS on 27/8/07 with FIP
Very handsome big boy. He is cuddly and nice natured and a delight to have around. Sebastian is very easy to handle and would fit easily into most households. With his gorgeous good looks and affectionate, winning personality he is just a lovely all round cat and a joy to have around.

Poor little Olivia died of unknown causes 19/1/07
Olivia is an amazing pup. Brave and adaptable she loves to play and hang out with her older foster brothers (cattle crosses) and is very keen to learn the ropes from them. She comes when her name is called and responds to whistles. She is great off lead, very happy to explore but always checks where you and the other dogs are, and rounds them up if they leave the flock. She is happy to sleep anywhere, enjoys her food and doesn't mind getting wet near the creek. Olivia also settles nicely inside.
DSH - male

Sadly Brian had an accident and didn't make it
Brian is an extremely affectionate cat that adores attention. After spending most of his life living rough Brian has now discovered the joys of living inside, sleeping on the bed and regular meals. Brian is still nervous when meeting new people but he quickly overcomes this when he receives hugs and smooches. Brian is used to children and is now ready to go to his forever home. Brian is best suited to living indoors and would prefer to be an 'only' cat although he is willing to consider a female companion.
DSH - male
Rastus is a nice natured boy who his carer sums up as very affectionate, but very independent. Rastus prefers to be an outside cat during the day.

Update 15/3/11: Sadly Cherish was diagnosed with Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and her bone marrow was infected. There was no possibility of treatment and she was sadly euthanised at one of our vets. RIP Cherish
Cherish was found living on the streets and was picked up by the local ranger and she has now been brought into care with DCH. Cherish is emaciated and will require a special diet to put weight and condition back on. She was covered in 100's of fleas more than her carer has ever seen on any animal. She has had a flea bath and the water ran red with flea dirt within seconds of running off her but she feels much better now. Cherish also needs a dental as her teeth for her age are in bad condition she also has a heart murmur which will need to be assesed once she is in better condition.
Update 19/1/11 Cherish is doing so much better now that she has had 2 weeks in foster care.She is slowly gaining weight and is getting much more confident in herself. She lays around mostof the day and enjoy's the sun through the windows. Cherish's heart mumur has been assesed and it is alow grade heart murmur which is great news for her.
Update 1/3/11 Cherish has been to the vets to have blood tests done as she hasn't been putting on any weight after she put on 500g after first arriving here. The results have now come back for a couple of the tests and we now know that her white cell count is extremley high and she is very anemic. At this stage the vets have sent off a bit of her blood to a specialst to test for what he thinks could be either a blood infection or cancer of some type.
If you can help us by sponsoring some of Cherish's ongoing vet expenses, which have so far come to $400, please call Megan on 9627 2767 or email dchanimaladoptions@iprimus.com.au or click below.
Thank you to Barbara, Kelli and Mark for helping sponsor some of Cherish's vet fees

Sadly Tommy lost his battle with cancer on 6/1/11. He was put to sleep with his carer and family by his side. RIP Tommy!
Update 9/1/2010: Sadly Tommy's run of medical bad luck is continuing and has taken a turn for the worse. Tommy was diagnosed with untreatable cancer of the mouth after 2 large tumours were found on his gums. The tumours are growing and his condition is being monitored to ensure he isn't in too much pain or discomfort. For now he is resting at his carers home where he feels very much loved and safe and they will continue to care for him until his condition worsens.
Tommy's tests and initial hospitalisation have come to $585. If you can assist with sponsorship for some of these costs please contact us or click on the donate button below Tommy knows he isn't the best looking man in town, looking much older than his actual age. But, he also knows that looks aren't everything. Tommy is a beautiful, no frills, no fuss, affectionate cat that happily gives you a croaky meow when he sees you. Tommy is not really a lap cat but adores having behind his ears scratched and enjoys lots of attention.
Tommy was hit by a car on 29/5/05. He has a fractured skull, torn ligament in his knee and a tear in his bladder. He is extrememly lucky to have survived and now we just have to wait for his injuries to heal themselves. The vets think that with time he will make a full recovery however it is unknown how well his knee ligament will heal. Update 14/11/06: Tommy has suffered from Urinary Tract Infections and due to the severity of the problem he will need to be on a special diet for the rest of his life. He requires Hills Science Diet C/D and we are seeking sponsors to help us cover this ongoing cost. Either by physical donations of food or with donations to help us cover the cost of purchasing this food. If you can help then please contact Megan on 9627 2767 or Click here to make a donation now: Update 7/1/2010: Poor Tom has had more bad news.
