Wishing you a Happy New Year!
This Christmas has certainly been a busy one, and we'd like to thank all the generous people out there who have remembered us. Many of these people have given donations of Revolution, water bottles, monetary gifts and even a brand new hutch! All presents are so wonderful and really highlights that this rescue only runs due to the incredible public support we recieve. We still can't save every animal that turns up at a pound, but boy have we made a difference, with well over 600 lives saved in only a few years!
One of our more unusual gifts this Christmas were two sheep halters, given by Ali, Carla, Borris and Sophia (the last two being bunnies adopted from our shelter). On Boxing Day one of our sheep mascots, Gizmo, had fun trying his halter on and parading around. For a sheep who has never seen a halter before, he was a real pro! Chrissy, our other rescued sheep, preferred to keep her pressie unwrapped for now. She had some fun watching Gizmo make a clown of himself, and then went back to eating her grass.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and many thanks yet again!

Porsche receiving a cheque of $500 from Brenda Naylor on behalf of Bendigo BankBendigo Bank Presentation Night -
Porsche's Rescue was awarded $500 by Bendigo Bank at the Turramurra branch's community group presentation night. This event was in celebration of their 8th birthday. As part of their birthday celebrations staff were able to nominate worthy causes and we are honoured to have been chosen. Many thanks to Brenda Naylor for nominating us!
Porsche's Rescue rehomes all small animals; rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, rats, ferrets, chickens and more! These animals are rescued from pounds across NSW when there is no other option but to euthanase. Occasionally we take in surrendered animals.
The sad reality is that every day there are small animals being put down in NSW. We are a private, self funded shelter and due to space limitations, only a limited few can be saved at a time. When an animal from Porsche's Rescue is rehomed, it makes space for another life to be saved. If you would like to help out by fostering a small animal while we find it a home you can register your interest.
It is important that every animal finds a family who suits its needs, and although a rabbit or guinea pig may be less work than a dog or cat, they require the same level of commitment. New homes will be screened prior to adoption to make sure they are suitable. If you would like to adopt a rescue animal, you can view our available pets.
Please spread the word that any type of animal sold from a petshop is likely to be found in a rescue shelter or pound. Their lives are important, and it is only through families deciding to 'adopt' rather than 'purchase' a pet, that a difference can be made to the suffering of these gorgeous, little creatures.
If you would like to board your pet for a short term, you can enquire online. The money raised from boarding goes towards rehoming animals less fortunate.
We also appreciate financial gifts, which can help with the huge costs associated with feeding and medical care.
Porsche's Rescue: working towards decreasing euthanasia rates, raising the status of small animals as treasured companions, and taking social action to improve their wellbeing.
