Now renamed Max, the six-month-old German Shepherd has settled beautifully into life with his new mum and dad, who instantly fell for him the moment they met.
“My wife found him on Facebook,” Max’s dad said. “We met him and just looked at each other and went, yeah.”
After losing their beloved dog, Max’s new family said they knew they were ready to open their hearts again when they saw his photos online.
“We feel blessed to have him,” his dad said. “We want to give him the most enjoyment we can.”
Max is already making himself right at home, complete with two beds, plenty of toys, and daily walks around Melbourne.
“I was keeping one eye open watching him at night, but he sleeps like a baby,” his dad laughed.
Described as calm, affectionate and incredibly smart, Max has quickly become part of the family.
“You can look into his eyes and they are almost human,” he said. “He’s very happy, very calm and so affectionate. He’s always looking at me like, ‘What are we doing now?’”
The couple have already been stopped many times while out walking Max.
“We took him for a walk in Coburg and people just kept complimenting him,” his dad said. “He’s a beautiful dog.”
Max’s mum says he’s thriving in his new life.
“We love taking him for walks down to the beach,” she said. “He’s doing very well, he’s a happy little camper and making lots of new friends.”
Thank you to Max’s new family for giving this beautiful boy the loving forever home he’s been waiting for.

Jango’s dad, Josh, said the trouble started after his daughter put her leftovers from dinner into Jango’s food bowl, including two corn cobs.
“He stopped eating, then the next day he started vomiting and drooling a lot,” Josh says. “He was drinking heaps of water and just wasn’t himself.”
Jango continued vomiting and became increasingly flat and lethargic, prompting Josh to rush him to Lort Smith’s Emergency Department.
Scans revealed Jango had an intestinal blockage caused by a corn cob, our team acted quickly to surgically remove it before it could cause further damage.
Thankfully, after two days in hospital, Jango made a great recovery.
“He’s golden, I’m kind of surprised, but he’s already back to normal,” Josh says. “We’ll definitely make sure he never eats corn cobs again.”
With roast dinners and winter comfort foods back on the menu, Jango’s story is a timely reminder that some human foods can be especially dangerous for pets. Corn cobs are a common cause of intestinal blockages in dogs and can quickly turn a sneaky snack into a veterinary emergency.

Billie had been in labour for more than eight hours without delivering any puppies when her human, Michelle, brought her to the hospital after it became clear Billie was struggling.
The veterinary team found that Billie was suffering from dystocia, a condition where a dog is unable to deliver puppies naturally and experiences difficulty during labour. Billie was then taken straight into surgery for an emergency caesarean.
“It was truly a whole-team effort. Our surgeon carefully delivered each puppy while our nursing team stood by ready to warm, stimulate and care for the newborns as they arrived,” Dr Jess said.
Thankfully, Billie safely delivered seven puppies, all of whom are now doing well alongside their mum. After a period of close monitoring to ensure everyone recovered safely, Billie and her puppies were able to return home together.
Michelle says Billie has already bounced back and settled straight into motherhood.
“She’s doing amazing and has been such a great mum,” Michelle said. “The puppies are so strong, just perfect puppies.”
At the same time as her c-section, Billie was also desexed to help prevent future unplanned pregnancies and reduce the risk of serious reproductive health conditions later in life.
“Cases like Billie’s are an important reminder of the benefits of desexing your pets,” Dr Jess said. “Not only to prevent unexpected litters, but also to support their long-term health and wellbeing.”

For Jacquie and Michael, fostering has become a rewarding and unforgettable part of everyday life. While they’ve been fostering with Lort Smith for the past seven months, Michael had previously cared for more than two dozen puppies over the years and was eager to get back into it.
“We know there is a need,” Jacquie said.
Since then, their home has welcomed a range of foster animals, each bringing their own personality, quirks and challenges.
“Every day is different. They surprise you constantly and keep you on your toes,” Jacquie said. “It’s really special watching them grow and adjust, knowing we get to be part of that journey.”
But it’s one of their previous fosters, Rowan, whose story that has stayed with them most deeply.
“When Rowan first came to us, he struggled to walk, but he was so determined through his rehab to regain his independence,” Michael said. “Our poodle, Abbey, helped keep him playful and engaged, and getting to be part of that was really special.”
Watching foster animals gain confidence, open up and become part of the family is what makes fostering so meaningful to Jacquie and Michael.
“Knowing we’re providing a safe environment while they wait for their forever homes is incredibly rewarding,” Jacquie said. “It’s not always easy, but being one link in the chain is something very special.”
Jacquie and Michael encourage anyone considering fostering to give it a go.
“It’s a big commitment, and sometimes chaotic because you never know what you’re going to get, but it’s so rewarding. Every animal is unique and deserves the chance at a terrific life.” Jacquie said.
Thank you, Jacquie and Michael, for the care, patience and compassion you show animals in need.

Six-month-old German Shepherd Hank is searching for a fresh start after coming into our care a little worse for wear. When he first arrived, he needed time, care and plenty of support to get back on his paws, but with patience and dedicated TLC, Hank has healed beautifully and is now thriving and ready to find a family to call his own.
Like many young shepherds, Hank is clever, energetic and always ready for something to do. He thrives when his mind is engaged and will suit an active home that enjoys training, enrichment and regular exercise. Whether he’s chasing ping pong balls, playing fetch, hopping in the car for an adventure or simply leaning into his people for attention, Hank brings an infectious enthusiasm to every part of his day.
He’s a bright young dog who is still learning about the world and will flourish with a family willing to guide him with patience, consistency and positive training. For now, Hank is looking for a home where he can be the only animal while he continues building his confidence around other dogs.
With the right support, Hank has all the makings of a deeply loyal companion. If you’re looking for a fun-loving shepherd with a big heart and an adventurous spirit, handsome Hank could be the perfect fit for your family.

“I thought I had placed the chocolate up high enough, but I was working on my laptop and got distracted,” Leila says. “Next thing I knew, he’d gotten hold of a couple of squares.”
Like many Chihuahuas, Sweets may be small, but he has a very big personality and an even bigger sense of determination.
“He’s my perfect problem son,” Leila says. “He always tries to go for things that are dangerous to him. He’s just really determined.”
Knowing chocolate can be dangerous for dogs, Leila didn’t hesitate to seek help.
“He’s my son. Anything that goes wrong, I get so worried and immediately bring him to the vet.”
At Lort Smith, our emergency team quickly treated him before the chocolate could make Sweets unwell. Thankfully, this sweet little boy was soon back home recovering safely.
Chocolate contains theobromine, a substance dogs can’t process properly. Even small amounts can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, agitation, tremors and heart problems, especially in tiny dogs like Chihuahuas. Dark chocolate is particularly dangerous, but any chocolate should be kept well out of reach of curious pets.
Today is, International Chihuahua Appreciation Day. Sweets’ story is a reminder that even the tiniest dogs can find themselves in big trouble, especially when sweet treats are involved.

Eight-month-old Ragdoll, Mont Blanc, gave his dad, Thanaphat, the fright of his life after falling 14 storeys from their apartment balcony.
After getting home from work, Thanaphat noticed only one of his cats, Pukk-look, waiting for him. Assuming Mont Blanc was hiding somewhere in the apartment, he didn’t think too much of it at first. But by the next morning, panic had set in.
“I searched the whole apartment, through drawers, behind furniture and even in the laundry, but I couldn’t find him,” Thanaphat says.
Fearing Mont Blanc may have slipped out the front door, Thanaphat alerted building reception before knocking on neighbours’ doors asking if anyone had seen him. Then at 2pm, reception called with shocking news. Someone living on level six had found a cat crying on their balcony.
“He was just lying there meowing,” Thanaphat recalls.
Mont Blanc had somehow survived a fall from level 20.
He was rushed to Lort Smith’s Emergency Department, where he spent four days in ICU under close observation and treatment. Mont Blanc suffered bruising and bleeding to his lungs, causing air to leak into his chest cavity, but incredibly, he escaped without any fractures or life-threatening injuries, and our team expects him to make a full recovery.
“I was so surprised he didn’t break any bones,” Thanaphat says. “He probably spent about half of his nine lives.”
While the balcony door is usually kept shut, it had accidentally been left open that day. Now, the family is installing cat-proofing to make sure it never happens again.
Thankfully, Mont Blanc is now safely back where he belongs, recovering at home, surrounded by care, comfort, and a very watchful feline sibling.

Now in the care of Dr Nicole at Lort Smith Animal Hospital, the turtle is being treated for a serious shell fracture using a unique repair technique involving slow-cure epoxy and zip tie fixators to stabilise the shell while it heals.
“People often think a turtle’s shell is inanimate, but it’s actually living tissue and very sensitive,” Dr Nicole says. “We use slow-cure epoxy because fast-curing products generate heat and can cause burns.”
Recovery is expected to take several months, with the turtle remaining in care until at least spring. During this time, he cannot return to the water, which presents another challenge as native Australian turtles generally only eat while submerged.
“We’ve been monitoring his weight and body condition very closely, but thankfully he’s maintaining and gaining weight,” Dr Nicole says. “What I do is provide him with food in a shallow water dish and hope that if he gets his head in, he’ll feel comfortable enough to eat, but generally they don’t tend to do that.”
The turtle is expected to make a full recovery and will be returned to the wild where he was found, once the warmer weather returns.
Dr Nicole is also reminding drivers to stay alert during autumn and spring, when turtles are commonly crossing roads searching for hibernation and nesting sites.
“They don’t move very quickly, and unfortunately many are hit by cars,” Dr Nicole says. “If people can slow down and keep an eye out near waterways and roadsides, it can make a huge difference.”

“One of my favourite memories was him discovering something that was entirely his, his name,” Brianna said. “Each time you’d say ‘Spud,’ his eyes would brighten and his whole body would sway with a happy little wiggle.”
Today, Spud is a confident “man about town,” loved by locals and happiest curled up beside his mum on his giant beanbag after a day of adventures.
“Being a mum to Spud feels like being trusted with something incredibly special,” Brianna said. “He doesn’t need me to be perfect, just present, steady and kind.”
“Spud has taught me how much connection can exist without words. For many people, that relationship is a source of comfort, purpose and unconditional love, and it holds real meaning similar to other forms of caregiving.”
This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the mum of fur babies whose love makes the world a little brighter.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the pet mums whose care, compassion and unconditional love make a difference every single day 💐🐾
