On 5 October our Animal Care class visited the Dingo Discovery Sanctuary and Research Centre in Toolern
Vale, which rescues dingos and lets wild dingos live out their lives happily and in good health. They promote research and conservation of this important native animal and apex predator. They also breed pure bred dingo puppies that go to wildlife sanctuaries and zoos.
It was a muddy, windy and wet day, but that was not going to stop us. We were ecstatic to meet the dingos and their pups, and learn more about these native animals. There were five pups aged 9 to 11 weeks, that were running around and playing happily with each student, and each other. They were incredibly well behaved and very well trained. They didn’t bite and did exactly what they were told. As a class, we all were overjoyed by how awesome our visit was and how even the bad weather couldn’t dull the day. Mrs Payne is hoping that our class can sponsor a dingo next year and we can have regular visits to the sanctuary!
