🐾𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗼𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻Today, August 26 is recognised the world over as International Dog Day and whilst it’s a day to celebrate our beloved pets it’s also a day to raise awareness around rescue services and adoption groups. Started in 2004 by American animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige, the day was chosen as it was the anniversary of the day her family first adopted their dog- a Sheltie named ‘Buddy’ who was ten years old. We love dogs at the Advertiser and happily share the work of 4 Paws Animal Rescue Inc each month via a column where we showcase one of their pets needing a forever home. If you are looking for a new family member, look at the shelters first, and today, give your furry family member an extra treat! 📸Pictured is editor Vanessa Hall’s beloved ‘Lilly’ the Rough Collie at Stumers Creek. ...

Put on by the Coolum Men’s Shed, the festival started as a health initiative disguised as a music event, with the main agenda to get men to have a health check. Last year the festival which was held at the Coolum Peregian RSL featured an outdoor stage, food and drink vendors, and most importantly, a health check marquee run by Queensland Health with some 300 health checks carried out across the weekend. This year will be even bigger and not to be missed with the official launch taking place on Tuesday August 25. Coolum Men's ShedShedMusic ... See MoreSee Less
