With the impact on the QLD Floods spreading rapidly to Brisbane, Ipswich and other areas of South East Queensland – and with no end in sight, more and more Queenslanders are finding themselves directly affected by the floods.
But it’s not only the people who are suffering, many cats, dogs and other pets are also being caught up in the disaster. Unfortunately, during evacuation, it is not always possible for people to take their pets with them, and even if they can, looking after a pet away from home under trying circumstances is very difficult.
Even once people can return to their homes, there is often lots of cleaning and mopping up to do – not a great environment to have a scared pet underfoot.
People affected by the floods already have more than enough on their minds, and worrying about their pets is simply adding to the stress. The QLD RSPCA is doing a wonderful job trying to help wherever they can, but with so many people and pets affected by floods, there is only so much they can do.
If you are a pet lover, living in or near a flood affected community, and have a bit of extra capacity to help out by looking after someone else’s pet, you might like to consider creating a listing on HelpOut – specifying where you live and what type of pet/s you are able to look after. It does not have to be for long – maybe just a few days or weeks, but in this simple way you could make a big difference to the health and wellbeing of both the pet and the owner.
See : http://helpout.spaceout.com.au for more information about how you can volunteer to look after a flood victims pet.
I am at Cleveland and have a good safe backyard. Have walking tracks and dog park nearby. We could foster a small to medium dog in a very caring home. We own a kelpie so the dog would have company.
Hi We live in Twin Waters ( Maroochydore) and thankfully were not affected greatly by this tragedy. We are dog lovers and have a beautiful and very loved Australian Cattle Dog – Banjo that loves other dogs and would welcome a friend and mate for as long as it takes for you to get back on your feet. We are willing to care for your dog as if it were our own. There are lots of walks and beach runs and a whole heap of love to be given – big or small dogs all ok as the yard is completely fenced and we accept dogs inside.
If there are any dogs out there that have lost their “best friend” we would also look at adopting.
If we can help please email pmearnshaw@iprimus.com.au

We live at The Gap and are more than willing to take 1 dog and or 1 cat. The dog will have to be female we have a desexed male Alaskin malamute who can get territorial with another male. We also have a female desexed ragdoll who is an inside only cat. The animals will have to be fine with children also. We have high fences so jumpers will be safe.

We have the time, space, and love of animals, particularly dogs. Large secure yard and we’re willing to help with 1 or 2 dogs. We live close to Brisbane but could travel to collect any dogs. We are not fussy, but because we live next door to a yappy little terrier-bitzer we think a medium dog may not form a duet and drive us all crazy (lol). We also love our local wildlife so a docile/ less threatening dog would please our bush turkey’s, possums, etc who visit us regularly.

I live 10mins NW of the Brisbane CBD on a double, fully fenced, pet-friendly block with my well socialised pooch, Murray. We’d be delighted to take in as many animals as possible that need a loving home for however long it takes for their owners to get back on their feet.
I am an EXPERIENCED ANIMAL CARER (owner of full-time petcare business for the past 11 years) and also have some experience in wildlife care. I can even look after any animal that needs special care (insulin dependent etc).
Indoor, house trained animals would be preferable (as I live in a rental with carpet) but I also have some capacity for an outdoor animal or two.
Please call me on 0414 747 769 if you think I can help.
Hi there. We live at Carina Heights and have a six year old labrador. We have a secure yard fully fenced. We would love to help a family by offering to care for their pet whilst they are getting their yard and house rebuilt. We would prefer a larger dog as a small one might just fit under the fence. Our Lab would love to have a playmate for a while.
