Rescuing Queensland's Neglected Rural Dogs Since 2016

In 2016, Lyn discovered horrific animal neglect and abuse in rural KZN outskirts—starving dogs riddled with ticks, mange, open wounds, and severe injuries. Unable to ignore their suffering, she loaded her vehicle with food and drove out to help.

Starting the Bush Dogs and Pups Facebook page, Lyn rallied community support. Friends of Bush Pups Inc (established 2019) has since supported desexing, rehabilitation, and rehoming of 3,000+ bush dogs.
