Knock Knock!

What would you do if a stranger knocks on your door and asks you for a question even farther than himself? Something similar happened to the Matthews of a beautiful day in 2010, the life of the couple took a twist when an unknown person made a surprise visit to their place. Theresa remembers this guy who was approaching their garden fence, "a guy went to closing before and said, were you cared for wildlife? I said why? "

A particular question

The man asked them a question and the Matthews did not know what to say and why did he even ask him a very strange question? They never worked as lifeguards before, but the guy did not seem to play a joke. So the couple has just answered this stranger with a gesture of questioning, but they had to be fast because the person seemed to be precipitated. And what was done then launched a total chapter in the history of the life of the couple.

The dilemma

Although Tony and Theresa had no idea what the guy spoke, however, they were curious because her question clearly indicated that some wild animals were in need and that's why the guy asked for their help. The old couple was aware of their safety but could not resist knowing what it was in fact and thereresa asked him the most obvious question, that is, "why?" And the answer of this type put the couple in a rod situation.

A gray roo

The guy seemed in a hurry and he said, "I have a kangaroo in the car." The couple had never taken care of a kangaroo before and they did not know how to trust a kangaroo. But they knew that the guy could just give up the poor animal and wanted to save the life of the one lying in the car. So, they chose to do what everyone would do to save kangaroo. They quickly decided to take the animal, then find a nearest animal lifeguard that will have enough knowledge to help the root in the car. The most shocking thing still had to be unveiled ...

Joey

When Tony looked at the wounded roof, he realized it was a kangaroo baby, an Orphan Orphan Orphalin Joey Orphan. Now, before thinking, why are we so much on the kangaroo being a child, it's because Joeys are the most difficult animals for a very authentic reason, the roos are born when they weigh less than a gram And ramp to mother pockets and stay there for months until they are mature enough for the outside environment. It was more than expected responsibility on the shoulders of Matthews.

CHASSA!

As soon as the stranger handed the little roo to Tony who gently held the baby, the guy without any explanation on what happened to the mother Kangaroo or where did he find the Joey, moved away. Theresa and Tony on the other side have been leftly confused with so many unanswered answers, knowing that their priority was to save the baby they took responsibility. About Kangaroos, everyone knows, but fewer people know how best the birth method of Kangouro is complex and how unusual it is compared to all other species.

Less known but must know!

No doubt they are stressed very easily when far from their mothers and for the same reason, very few carrakers adopt them for the fear of losing them. A Joey can stay alive for several days in her mother's wallet, even if she dies, and so it's always a must to check on a dead kangaroo to be sure if there is a joey and help him immediately with intense tenderness and keep it warm. The couple knew they had to be quick in searching for a suitable Kangaroo care center, but it was not as easy as it seemed to them.

Roos everywhere

For Australia, where about 86,000 indigenous animals respond every year on road accidents, it is very important to raise public awareness of these innocent creatures slowly dying in their mother's wallet without ever seeing the world. On the basis of their knowledge, Theresa took the Joey in and tried to keep it warm, she knew he had to be encouraged but she had no idea that milk will suit young kangaroo, in the meantime Tony tried to Search a specialist guard nearby.

What to do?

As soon as there warfated the tiny roo and wrapped it in a cover similar to a pocket, she started calling around the city to give him a shelter at home with a registered guard, infinite calls were made but she was made but she has received no response. She was sure there will be enough guards available as in her last city where the baby will be safe.

For the moment, no one comes back, Theresa knew she must take care of and "what to feed a kangaroo". She started looking on the internet on the type of milk or pacifier she had to need to feed the baby and finally sent Tony with a list of things they will need to continue.

Disappointing call

A day passed without a reminder but the second day, when Theresa received a call, she was waiting for the roo baby they saved became a lucky place, where he will feel comfortable with others like him. The call put an end to disappoint them. The couple had no thought of this situation before them. But they were sure, not ready to let go so easily.

The more powerful the creature, the more it has the right to protect by man of the cruelty of man, This saying Mahatma Gandhi explains everything that eventually crossed the Spirit of Matthews that day even after the disappointing call.

A fate euthanized

The person called and informed the couple that there were very few specialists from the city and all were entirely busy and still remembering that time, Theresa said, "We realized that there was Nobody here for these Joeys and they were euthanized, not because it was something wrong with them, but because there was nowhere to go. "Theresa has been discouraged by what she has just heard about the call, but she knew that the little boy was in good health and looking at her eyes, she could just not let him go.

Attentive nature

Theresa loved animals throughout her life and checked the kangaroh pockets deceased for their Joeys before because of her knowledge. But she did not have all the information on the "wild volunteer of wild animals". She takes care of the wounded and orphan birds of the time when she moved to her new place and that it was all she made so far.

However, this new arrival a day before, and no hope for the little guy other than the Matthews Square has made it necessary for theresa to learn more about these animals so that it can help Joey get an adequate nutrition. She certainly had bigger plans in her mind, but everything she needed was a help ray!

Part-time work

Theresa works part-time as a personal care occupation because it used to stay with Tony as well because of its health concerns. The couple lives on Theresa's income and Tony's disability pension. The situations looked at them, but the Matthews were determined and do not keep strong expectations because they did not do what all animal lovers would have done! Instead, they almost took things between their hands as much as possible!

Police officer!

Theresa and Tony decided to name the little Joey 'Bobby'. They started promoting it but had many more things in mind now because they were aware of the poor fauna of their region. Theresa was now willing to learn each and everything that could be proved beneficiary for wildlife rescue and also the work of rehabilitation shelters. How does it work and how is it managed, making a long short story for you, it wanted to be a pro in this area. Why, however? A question even was in our minds.

Less expected

Animal lovers will save Joey like Tony and Theresa did it, but they had a greater vision of filling and that's where the improvised familiarity of Theresa with all the subject of wildlife was now on the point of Help in real time. You will not believe what this couple did when they had no resource and no specific place to start something usual, they transformed all odds in their favor by their resolution for a good cause!

Open doors

As she had help from a nice woman, who informed her of all necessities. Now she was aware of the rescue of wildlife and kangaroo care, from there, ready to be guardian. Theresa remembers: "Our first kangaroo and his name were bobby." And later, the more welcomed, Theresa talked about his feelings behind the big couple ", because of our love for the kangaroos, we have just opened our house, and this rescue was great and grew up. "

Big Hearts, Big Problems

They turned their standard home into "Our Haven Wildlife Shelter Inc.", a non-profit organization. It all started when they decided not to give up Bobby, with that, they made his sole purpose of favoring as many lives as possible. What is paradise? If these Joeys could speak, they will surely say "our refuge" but it was more than difficult than they thought.

Full-time foster

The couple stuck closely from each other because they were the only one wearing all the expenses of their own pockets to take care of any new Joey welcomed in their fauna shelter. Theresa explains her only motive, "financially, the main thing in keeping with what we keep them alive."

Long rides, innumerable rescue

And they traveled more than 10,000 km and saved more than 169 kangaroos in 2015 and the numbers increase every year, it means an average of 14 Joeys in the house every time. Think about it if you take care of a Joey is a daily job, so how many people of them needed and that everything was regulated by Theresa and Tony.

Wallabies

To any wild animal suffering, the help has been provided. Yes, they do not discriminate rather they know the value of every existing life and, therefore, they save any animal that they see in need of help. Unlike the South Australian fauna, where a majority of red kangaroos are, Theresa informs: "We take mainly on oriental gray kangaroos - they are the only ones to go down here and score wallabies."

60 bottles of milk a day

"It costs $ 400 for 20 kg, so it's not surprising that Joey is absolutely Gobbled. We infants them four times a day, but the smallest becomes fed five to six times a day," said Tony who Described as "gold milk". In addition to everything the couple has done, the most difficult part has not yet been revealed and we trust this, the financial problems come later for them.

Possibilities

Matthews do a great job when they abandoned their usual lives and start living a better life with these joeys, "it is not planned, the fauna found us, we live on a standard house block. Joeys are fed specialist milk up to eighteen months. Because our block is so small, we have to buy hard flows. Schardrf and dry herbs for them. All medicines and pathologies are paid by us. "

Let them go

"It's hard to say goodbye and I always cry all the way home but, you know, it's about them, not us. We did our job, so we have to let them go. "Once the Joeys are quite mature, they are left in the nature that is very difficult for Matthews to say goodbye and the fact that it will be more difficult for Roos.

They have their own dreams that all are for their little babies and they are able to take care of them much better and more of them and their mission is therefore on which we are on the point of you to say.

Dream of freedom

"So far, I had a high success rate. We have not had a vacation since we started this business that gave us a goal that we do not mind going without loving and worrying about our fauna and believe they are worth it " , mentioned Theresa on his website. So, how will they manage? Because so far, their actions have clearly explained to us that they will not leave Joey to be euthanized!

Volunteer

Theresa has already said, "Many people think we are paid to do it, and we do not do it, but if I do not do it, so who's going? I point out how I will keep it; If these animals double, I do not know how we will pay for us. "People have shown interest in the cause of Matthews and volunteer for the little Joeys to save and promote. Although awareness has increased, they had a huge success.

A little success

Success concerns a petition that has been launched by a volunteer at "our wildlife shelter" signed by many to reduce the limits of speed in the region where kangaroos are especially during the nights and especially areas more subject to accidents. "Twilight at dawn, just slow down. There are many bad areas here; We will constantly save along the sports roads of Longford-Loch and the sea. The kangaroos have a very bad view, so when the headlights are on them, it confuses them even more. "They have a small target to reach for a true cause we are going to tell you.

Mission

Although the couple turned their home for these wilderness and recently built a separate room for these babies in their garden that is not enough. "Our dream would be to have land out of the city away from the main roads so that we can release our orphans safely, for the moment we have to assemble them when they have 18 months of transport transport to three hours road to a large shelter where they are released soft, which is very stressful for the orphans and ourselves, "explained the couple in the heart of the heart on their website. They started receiving animal charities in Australia and later many parts of the world

We have enough people who care about the Australian Aboriginal fauna, just like Matthews and we are sure you would like to know about them.

Joke

Abigail, for years, hugged his lifeguard every day as a ritual. She was saved and taken to the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs when she was a 5 month old baby. His hugging all his guards became a tradition in the sanctuary and we double that someone could withstand an adorable baby. And there is even more touching video in the next slide to expect a saved Joey.

Saved from the pocket

"We finished because we wanted to check if the mother was alive and if she had a joey in her pocket. We found this young woman, "says Drew who reaches the Kangaroo mother pocket to save the baby in the video.

People are more aware of these animals and save them and give them their right to live is a holy act.
