We saved Onyx from euthanasia. He has come through his surgery and recovery. We now need a van for he and his homeless dad to live in.

When Onyx needed emergency surgery for a severe facial laceration, our loyal and new supporters were amazing. Within a week, they had rallied to pay his vet bills of over $1,000. 💖

Because he and his dad are homeless, Onyx came into our care for his recovery, medications, drainage removal, and progress checks. His stitches will come out on Tuesday 25th June.
Onyx has missed his dad terribly and his heartbreaking howls have brought complaints from neighbours, council, and the landlord. He must be reunited with his dad after suture removal, but they have nowhere to go. We have tried camping grounds, landlords and WINZ... but, sadly, no-one will offer accommodation to this big dog and his distressed dad. It was brutally suggested that "the dog is put down" so that his dad can be housed without his beloved companion.
We are asking the public to rally once again to help us purchase a low-cost van. Onyx will then be warm, sheltered and, most importantly, alongside his dad during the bitter winter months.
Please open your hearts and help us to complete Onyx's happy ending. 🙏
Animal Re-homing rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes animals of all species. We run a home-based animal shelter and provide education on de-sexing and welfare issues. We were founded in 2001 and have literally saved thousands of animal lives since then.
A van will be purchased so that Onyx and his dad have somewhere safe to lay their heads each night.
If we are fortunate enough to raise excess funds, they will be put towards our $7,000 vet bills.
FINAL UPDATE 7 May 2025
You’ll all be delighted to know that during the 7 months we loaned Onyx’s dad the charity's van, it served its purpose beautifully. It brought them back together and kept Onyx’s wound clean and dry so it could heal through the winter months. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make that possible! 🙏
The van has now been sold and the money put towards our outstanding vet bills. Well done kind people – and thank you so much to Givealittle for providing this great platform.
