WIRES volunteer Mel, together with Callum and Kimberly from WIRES Emergency Response Group, fastidiously delivered him to Sydney Uni’s Vet Hospital in Camperdown utilizing the WIRES ambulance.

To help his therapeutic, Mel labored with a neighborhood swimming pool firm, Designer Tanks, who generously donated and delivered a stainless-steel pool to supply a sterile restoration setting — authorized by the vet group and excellent for his wants.
