enhancing the lives of people living with disabilities Autism and PTSD through funding Assistance Dogs for them and their families These dogs have a profound effect on the lives of their new owners by providing them with companionship support and independence To be able to offer this incredible service Assistance Dogs must be trained for over 2 years costing around 35 000 to provide a qualified companion to their clients For this reason Tallebudgera Vet encourages any donations to the organisation to help them improve the lives of deserving Australians Friends of the Hound is a wonderful organisation committed to rehoming former race dogs As a result of the racing industry greyhounds are among the most commonly disregarded dogs in Australia Once they have reached the end of their racing career greyhounds often find themselves at risk of being put down if a new home cannot be found Friends of the Hound have made it their mission to rehome as many of these forgotten race dogs as possible to provide a loving companion to families and a happy home for their pet To help them reach their dream of setting up a purpose-built adoption centre for greyhounds Tallebudgera Vet strongly supports the cause and encourages donations wherever possible BVSc MAVSc Veterinary Surgeon Ross grew up in Rockhampton Qld At age 17 Ross was accepted at the University of Queensland to study
