Last Chance Club (LCC) 


 

 

You can make a difference to a mistreated animal's life. The Last Chance Club animals are mostly ex-cruelty case animals, whose owners have been prosecuted for neglect or cruel treatment. Many have been through severe ordeals.

These animals are available for adoption. Because they are special animals, they often come with special needs (these are listed for each animal).

The Last Chance Club animals have been given a second chance at life by the RSPCA. They need good homes and special owners, who understand their plight, and can see past their problems and give them a future, a last chance.

Most of The Last Chance Club animals are at our Yagoona Shelter in south-western Sydney, unless otherwise indicated. They can be visited at Yagoona Shelter.

Name: Sparrow
D.O.B: 26 March 2005
Breed: Cattle/Kelpie X
Sex: Male
Size: Medium
Time at branch: 1 yr & 11 mths
Location: Kempsey
Information:

Sparrow came to the Kempsey RSPCA in April 2005 at only 4 weeks old after being removed from his previous owner due to neglect. He was a tiny (hence his name), life-less little creature ... malnourished, flea ridden and worm infested. But what a beautiful boy he is now!

Basically a sook! He is a gentle soul, with a BIG heart and a very affectionate loving nature. However, whilst he is comfortable and confident (hence the cheeky grin) with those he knows and loves, Sparrow is very shy with strangers initially. He is also still very much a puppy .. and as such, Sparrow loves to run and play and 'wrestle'.

Accordingly, he has excellent social skills with other canines and would be a wonderful companion to another playful puppy/pooch. Having had house-status since coming into care, Sparrow is house-trained and is very well-mannered when indoors.

Sparrow comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $180. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

 

Name: Baby Bear
D.O.B: 02 June 2005
Breed: Ridgeback X Labrador
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Time at branch: 1 yr & 8 mths
Location: Kempsey
Information:

Baby Bear came to the Kempsey RSPCA in July 2005 after being removed from his previous owner due to neglect. Whilst technically 6 weeks old at that time, he was the size of a rat due to malnurishment and neglect. But whilst the bad start initially left him small in stature ... time, tucker and TLC has seen Baby Bear develop into a big, beautiful boy.

Baby Bear can be summed up in one word ... adorable! He has an incredibly affectionate nature and a pure joy for life ... he basically loves everyone and everything. Aside from playing (ie. being patted, cuddled and generally fussed over) by people, Baby Bear ADORES the company of other pups/pooches and playing with them is undoubtedly, one of his greatest pleasures in life. As such, he is most suited to a home where he will not only receive oodles of love and attention, but one where he will have the enjoyment and companionship of a 4 legged friend.

Baby Bear has commenced his house and basic obedience training however will require an outgoing commitment from a potential new owner in these areas.

He comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $180. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

Breed: Domestic Short Hair/Black
Sex: Male
Time at branch: 1 yr & 5 mths
Location: Kempsey
Information:

Midnight came to the Kempsey RSPCA as a 'pound puss' in October 2005. His background was unknown and he was very scared and timid upon arrival. But now .. he is full of love and confidence.

Midnight is a very sociable boy and at the present time shares his affection with a female feline friend (Gypsy). Midnight is the perfect gentleman and allows her to eat first.

A handsome boy with his shiny black coat, anyone would be proud to adopt him. He not only mixes well with other cats, he's also dog friendly!

Midnight would like a home where he has house-cat status and no outdoor access at night.

Midnight comes immunised, desexed and microchipped for $140. Please contact Carol at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 4260.

D.O.B: 01 January 2006
Breed: Labrador X Kelpie
Sex: Female
Size: Medium
Time at branch: 1 yr & 2 mths
Location: Kempsey
Information:

Zen came to the Kempsey RSPCA in January 2006 at only 7 days old, after her mother was abandoned without food or water to care for herself and her babies.

In short, Zen is an absolute sweet-heart. She is an extremely gentle soul, with an incredibly affectionate (sooky) nature, and whilst she can be quite shy and 'coy' with strangers, Zen considers herself a 'lap-dog' (literally) so enjoys nothing more than being snuggled and cuddled by those she knows and loves. Whilst a real 'home-body', she does enjoy playing with other puppies/pooches and as such has excellent social skills with other animals.

She is house-trained, obedient and generally well-mannered... however she is still a puppy and does have mischieveous moments. Zen would be the perfect pooch for any kind, caring person looking for a darling dog to be their companion.

Zen comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $180. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

Information:

Kali came to the Kempsey RSPCA in January 2006 after being abandoned by her previous owners without food or water, to not only care for herself, but for her litter of newborn puppies. Why anyone would leave a dog in this situation is hard to imagine, particularly a sweet soul like Kali.

And that's just what Kali is ... an absolute sweetheart. Loyal, loving and devoted, Kali is a gentle girl, with an enormous heart (and belly) and extremely affectionate nature, who adores giving... but better still ... getting kisses and cuddles.

Whilst she enjoys interacting and has good social skills with other canines, Kali is typical of her breed, in that she has 2 passions in life ... people and food!

Kali is well-mannered, obedient and craves someone to love, who will love her in return. Kali would be suitable within any kind, caring, loving home however is particularly suited to an older single person or couple looking for a constant companion.

Kali comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $180. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

Time at branch: 6 mths
Location: Kempsey
Information:

Whilst at heart a very gentle soul, Scalli has a friendly, outgoing (ie. mischievous) personality and due to her affectionate nature loves to be cuddled.

She is very people focused, so wherever you are, is where she is .. or wants to be. Being a growing girl, food is also a focus area. As is play and accordingly, she also has excellent social skills and enjoys the company of other pups/pooches.

Scalli would be equally suited as a companion to another dog or within a sole animal household provided she was treated as part of the family. Scalli has begun her house-training and basic obedience and is a gold-star girl by puppy standards, however will require an ongoing commitment from a potential owner in these areas.

Scalli comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $180. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.
