Companions For Life Pet Rescue

Hi!
I intend to move in Australia, Sydney,but I have 6 cats rescued from the streets and a black labrador.
All of them are in very good care and I rather not come to Australia then live them behind.
Please,let me know which are my chances to bring my pets with me,because I have no ideea about Your law concerning this matter.Thank You

it is great to have a website so dedicated to the care of animals. I wish I could adopt but my commitments would not allow it at the moment.

Hi there - I was adopted from Andrea in 2007 and my adoptive parents happily paid the fee and more (to help Andrea continue in her marvellous work) I was destined for death row in the pound when she kindly took me in and I lived on her farm with all the other lost and sad dogs who had come from terrible and hurtful and some brutal backgrounds - when she gave me to my family I was still very timid and sad and I still had some problems but their love, patence and kindess has made me the happy and loving dog I am today and without Andrea I would probably have died long ago - without the fees her work cannot continue and my understanding is that we lost souls cost her far more than she actually gets back - Thank you Andrea - for saving my life and helping me find love and kindenss - Jonah

I have just been reading some of the comments. I believe Andrea does fantastic work. Please consider helping Companions for Life continue their work by donating towards the upkeep of these lovely dogs. The money charged by rescue shelters for their rescue dogs seldom covers the real cost of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming them.

Suzanne Yasmin - It is my belief that Andrea is doing the world plenty of favours! By charging a reasonable amount for a wonderful pet she is stopping morons like you from adopting them which can only be a good thing. Grow up and live in the real world, idiots like you shouldn't be allowed to have pets anyway! BTW - Andrea, keep up the good work, our lovely Beagle Cross Casey we rescued from you just over 2 years ago is just great - would've paid double the price if I had too! ;-D

When someting is "free", people tend not to place any value on it! In reality, $400 is a very modest charge. As for $1,000 a year for a dogs total up-keep!!! For a large size dog, $1,000 would only cover the costs of heartworming/ worming and flea treatment for a year.
As for vets bills, our beloved Lily ( a rescue greyhound) who was savagely attacked by another dog whilst we were out on a walk, her 4 days of intensive vet care, operations, medication, hours and hours of one on one vet care cost almost $8,000 - and sadly she didnt make it. We would have paid as much as it cost to have saved/ keep her.
We have already rescued another dumped greyhound.
All our pets were previously someone's elses and then "thrown away", and if I could save a 100 dogs and 100 cats I would.

we adopted Meeka in November and would like to let you know that she's exceeded all expectations. she fits in perfectly with our family. is well trained and we love her unconditionally and it seems the feeling is mutual. we couldn't live without her now. we love maremmas. we've created a flickr account where we will upload photos of meeka from time to time if you want to check it out and see how she is going: http://www.flickr.com/photos/meeka_maremma/

thanks so much. carol.

suzanne yasmin ,
What a silly thing you are ! , when people pay a just price for animal it ensures that they are dedicated to caring for the animal , also these beautiful people look after as many as 50 dogs at a time , they pay for the dogs vacinations the dogs desexing and the dogs food , also as they are in a cold climate they have heated floors to keeps the dogs warm ! this is a standard price for a dog and it is LESS than what it has cost these amazing people to care for them , you are a thoughtless greedy cow .

I just wanted to say - love your work! My family have had Maremma's for over 15 years, guarding our menagerie, family & property. We also have & have had many domestic & shepherd dogs - but the Maremma's are the family favourite - we love their attitude! Regarding the criticisms on earlier posts - $400 is nothing to pay for a tried & trusted guardian dog - regardless of the age. Our dogs have saved us much more than that in one year guarding our livestock from predators. When my fencing is complete & I am ready to stock my new property, I will be definitely visiting for adoption!
