Gili’s Legacy 🐾
Earlier this year, our founders, Lee and Kayleigh had to say goodbye to Gili, their beautiful rescue dog and the Kakadu canine, after a short but fierce battle with lymphoma.
They said, "It broke our hearts and turned our world upside down.
Gili joined the Kakadu family in 2018 from Animal Helpline Dog Rescue, and since losing her, we’ve been channelling our love into the place that brought her to us—spending weekends walking, training and supporting the incredible dogs still waiting for their forever homes.
Some have no backstory, so we’ve been taking them on day trips and overnighters to help figure out what they’re like outside the shelter—giving them the best chance at finding the right match.
It’s been emotional, healing, and one of the most rewarding things we’ve done. We’re calling it Gili’s legacy. 💛"
As passionate animal lovers here at Kakadu, we wanted to take this moment to remind you that there are so many amazing dogs in rescue centres, just waiting for someone to see their potential. So if you're thinking about adding a dog to your family—please consider adoption before you shop, don't support the breeders.
