Late last year, we were shocked and gravely concerned when we received word about a group of Spoodle dogs being kept at a puppy factory that were in desperate need of rescuing.

Sadly, these Spoodles represent just one of the many cases of neglect The Lost Dogs’ Home sees each and every year.

Winter is one of the busiest times of year for the Home. Over the cooler winter months, we expect to receive around 6,500 cats and dogs presenting with a range of illness and behavioural conditions.

Among the animals that come into the Home during winter are dogs and cats who have been victims of neglect and mistreatment. But, you can help us make a difference!

You can help turn around the lives of shelter animals by calling The Lost Dogs’ Home fundraising team on (03) 8379 4429 or online by visiting dogshome.com.

Also coming up on the show:

With winter typically a time where reclaims are slower and adoptions decline, we look at what it is like at the Home and why it gets so busy this time of year.
Also, we’ll hear about the incredible recovery of Smokey, who received life-changing surgery at our shelter after being found in a drain by a CFA volunteer.
