Share the Love this Valentines Day This Friday morning from 7am to 10am,  Lort Smith will be out in force with around 40 volunteers and 20 dogs, collecting spare change at several CBD train stations, including Flinders Street, Parliament, Melbourne Central, Flag Staff, Richmond and North Melbourne.  So keep an eye out for us on your morning commute and stop by to say hello, get a kiss and cuddle from one of our Pet Therapy dogs and perhaps donate some of your spare change! We will also have our Smithy soft toy dogs and calendars available for only a $10 donation.

My, what big eyes you have!     On Sunday we had a visit from this beautiful Grey Tawny Frogmouth. Brought in by a concerned member of the public, he had been found on the ground, unable to fly.  Our vets examined him thoroughly, but no major damage could be determined. Two days and $300 later, he was transferred over to a qualified wildlife carer who will look after him and bring him back to Lort Smith for check ups until he can be released back into the wild.  Lort Smith is one of the only animal shelters in Victoria that cares for wildlife, spending roughly $100,000 each year.

Super needs a home Hello folks, I’m Super.  I have been a bit unsettled of late and am looking for a stable home where I can live out my days in comfort.  I may look the tough sort, but I’m really a cuddly, fun-loving guy that enjoys the company of people.  I’m looking for somebody (or a family) who has plenty of time to not only take me on daily walks, but to also throw the ball with me in the backyard and chill out with me in the evenings...     View Super's Profile
