Dublin is a playful, happy-go-lucky pup who enjoys toys, sticks, and daily walks where he can make new friends along the way. He’s even been joining his foster carer at work and has proven to be wonderfully well-behaved in new environments. He’s equally content at home, too, happy to chill out on a quiet day in or jump in the car for an adventure. What matters most to Dublin is simply being included in your world. As a young dog, Dublin is still learning some of his manners, but he’s a quick study and eager to please. His ideal home would be one with another friendly dog for company, and older kids or teenagers who can enjoy his playful energy (he sometimes gets a little overexcited in play!). Dublin has just recently been desexed, microchipped, and had his vaccinations. He’s untested with cats and younger children. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will fill your days with play, affection, and joy, Dublin might just be your perfect match!

      <image:caption>GENDER: Male AGE: 4 Years BREED: Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog x American Staffy DE-SEXED: Yes MICROCHIP NUMBER: Pending VACCINATED: Yes ADOPTION FEE: Pending Boof is not your average dog… he’s a thinker, a worker, a dog with purpose running through his veins. And right now, he needs the right person to step up for him. This incredibly clever boy is looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home where he can thrive, not just exist. Boof is a highly intelligent, driven cattle dog mix who absolutely shines when he has a job to do. He isn’t a couch potato, and he’s not a snuggle bug — he’s the kind of dog who wants to work, learn, and engage. He would be perfectly suited to: A farm or acreage home An active lifestyle Someone interested in agility, training, or working dogs Boof is: Dog friendly Cat friendly Toilet trained Walks beautifully on lead Extremely responsive and eager to learn Good with males (can just be a little anxious in vet settings) Likely to do well with livestock/chickens He is best suited to a home with teenage children (13+), as he prefers a calmer, more predictable environment. A Brilliant Mind in Motion Boof is exceptionally trained and absolutely thrives on learning. His list of commands is seriously impressive: Sit, Sit Pretty &amp; Dance Drop, Roll Over &amp; Crawl (still mastering!) Spin &amp; “Otherway” High Five &amp; High Ten Shake (both paws) Bang (play dead) Stick ‘em up Weave, Around &amp; Middle Place (including muzzle training!) …and honestly, if you can think of it — Boof can probably learn it. This boy lives for training and mental stimulation, especially when treats are involved. What Boof Needs Boof isn’t a “love me all day” type of dog — and that’s okay. He shows his love differently. He needs: A confident, experienced handler Structure, routine, and purpose Someone committed to continuing his training Boof can be a little anxious in certain situations — particularly at the vet — and he is also wary of things like brooms and vacuums, so he will need someone patient who can help build his confidence. Why He Needs You Dogs like Boof are so often misunderstood… but in the right home, they are nothing short of extraordinary. He doesn’t need constant affection — he needs understanding. He doesn’t need to be babied — he needs a job, a leader, a teammate. And when you give him that? You’ll have one of the most loyal, capable companions you could ever ask for. Can you be Boof’s person? If you have the lifestyle, experience, and heart to give this incredible boy what he needs, please reach out. Fostering saves lives — and for Boof, it could change everything.  Source Number: RE132038 If you’d like further information about Boof, please get in touch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>GENDER: Male AGE: 4 Years BREED: American Staffy DE-SEXED: Yes MICROCHIP NUMBER: Pending VACCINATED: Yes ADOPTION FEE: Pending URGENT FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED Oatmeal Cookies (affectionately known as Max) is a 4-year-old purebred blue American Staffy with pedigree papers and is fully vetted. Sadly, after careful consideration, his current setup isn’t the right environment for him to decompress, and we are now looking for a more suitable home where he can truly thrive. Oatmeal Cookies would do best in a home with a large, secure backyard where he can run, roam, and burn off energy. He can become overstimulated by noise, and in a smaller environment, this has made it difficult for him to settle and relax. In the right setting, with space and a calmer environment, we believe he will decompress much more easily. He is a very people-focused dog who wants to be close to his humans and currently suffers from separation anxiety, becoming unsettled when he cannot see them. Because of this, he would benefit from a home where someone is around more often to help build his confidence, routine, and independence over time. Oatmeal Cooies is dog selective and would be best suited to a home with no other dogs, so he can fully decompress and be set up for success. He is not suitable for homes with cats or livestock. He can be unsure of strangers entering the home and may bark when people arrive, so he will need a calm, confident owner who can provide reassurance and guidance in these moments. When Oatmeal Cookies is relaxed and not overstimulated, he is a truly beautiful dog who is eager to please and very trainable. He is highly food-motivated, which makes training much easier, and he is already toilet-trained, taking himself outside with no accidents indoors. Oatmeal Cookies is a strong boy and does not do well being confined, so he will need a home that understands his needs and can provide the space, patience, and structure to help him succeed. In the right environment, Oatmeal Cookies has all the potential to become a loyal, loving member of the family. If you can foster or foster-to-adopt Oatmeal Cookies, please apply as soon as possible so we can help this handsome boy find the environment he needs to truly thrive.

At around 1 year old and 30kg, this handsome boy is fully vaccinated, desexed, and ready to find his forever adventure buddy. Originally from rural NSW, we don’t know much about his past — but what we do know is that he is bursting with life, love, and a whole lot of zoomies. About Hawaiian 1-year-old male wolfie mix Approx. 30kg Fully vaccinated &amp; desexed Knows sit, wait, down &amp; come Toy and stick enthusiast (bonus points if it’s pink) Hawaiian is a fun-loving, active boy who thrives on movement and adventure. Long walks? Yes please. A good game of chase? Even better. And when he’s done exploring, he’s quite the observer — happily sitting and watching the world go by like it’s his own little movie. He’s great with other dogs and good with kids, though his excitement and size can be a bit much for little ones — so a home with teens or young adults would suit him best. He could thrive as a solo dog soaking up all the attention, or alongside a playful canine companion. Home Requirements Active household ready for a big, energetic boy Ongoing training to polish his leash manners and jumping Teens/young adults preferred due to his size &amp; enthusiasm Dog-friendly home or happy as your one-and-only Untested with cats Hawaiian is still learning his manners (he just gets so excited about life), but he’s a smart cookie and eager to please — the kind of dog who will blossom with guidance, structure, and love.

      <image:title>Coldplay - Coldplay.</image:title>
      <image:caption>GENDER: Male AGE: 4 Years BREED: Bulldog Mix DE-SEXED: Yes MICROCHIP NUMBER: Pending VACCINATED: Yes ADOPTION FEE: Pending URGENT FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED Coldplay (aka Bosko)… our beautiful boy… is once again searching for somewhere safe to land. Not because he’s done anything wrong. But because sometimes life changes in ways we can’t control. His current owner is absolutely heartbroken, having to make this decision and never wanting it to come to this — but sadly, they have no other choice. This is being done out of love, to give Coldplay the best chance at the life he deserves. Meet Coldplay At 4 years old, this Bulldog mix carries more heart than most. Behind those soft, soulful eyes is a boy who just wants stability, understanding, and someone who won’t give up on him. He’s a sensitive soul — the kind of dog who feels deeply and bonds closely once he knows he’s safe. What he needs to thrive: Pet-free home – he needs to be your one and only No young children – calm, predictable environment Daily exercise – enjoys his walks and getting out and about Routine &amp; gentle guidance – structure helps him feel secure Someone who understands his communication — he uses soft growls to express himself, not to harm He’s fine seeing other dogs out on walks, but at home, he just wants his own space and his own person. The best part? Coldplay is beautifully independent when left alone — no anxiety, no chaos. Just a quiet boy waiting patiently for you to come home. Right now, he needs us. Being surrendered once is hard… but twice? That chips away at a dog’s spirit. We are determined that his next home is his forever — but we need a foster or foster-to-adopt carer to step up and give him that chance. If you can offer Coldplay the stability, patience, and love he’s been missing, please apply. Because this boy doesn’t need saving twice. He just needs one person who won’t let him fall again.

He’s enthusiastic in training sessions and will thrive with continued positive reinforcement. He didn’t come into care familiar with collars and leads, so he can feel overwhelmed by pressure around his neck. Because of this, he must be walked on a harness, where he feels much more secure. With patience and gentle guidance, he is making steady progress  ‍♂️ Out &amp; About The outside world can still feel a little big and scary. Duncan is timid on walks and prefers to take things slow—pausing, observing, and sometimes retreating if unsure. Sudden movements or things approaching from behind can startle him, so he’ll need an adopter who understands that confidence-building is a journey, not a race  The Home He’s Dreaming Of Birdwing would thrive in a home where:  A calm home environment  A home with another confident dog  Older or dog-savvy children  A family committed to ongoing positive training and socialisation Duncan settles beautifully in a safe environment. He sleeps well overnight and can be left alone for short periods without distress, though he would benefit from someone being home more often initially to help him adjust and feel secure.  Kids &amp; Other Pets • Kids: Has done well with calm introductions and gentle interactions. Best suited to older, dog-savvy children • Dogs: Would love a calm, well-balanced canine companion to help guide him, though not essential • Cats/Small Animals: Untested  Behaviour Notes Duncan showed some resource guarding early on, likely from his past, but this has significantly improved as he’s learned he doesn’t need to compete. He now shares toys and treats without issue. In a new home, this may briefly resurface, but with consistency and reassurance, it should continue to fade.  Duncan’s Ideal Home • Calm, patient, and understanding • Committed to ongoing training and confidence building • Someone home more often initially (or flexible schedule) • Harness walking only • Possibly a calm canine companion • Older children or adult-only home preferred Duncan isn’t the kind of dog who will leap into your arms on day one… but give him time, and he’ll give you something far more special—trust, loyalty, and a love that feels quietly magical   If you have the heart and patience to help this beautiful boy continue to blossom, we would love to hear from you  Apply today to give this beautiful boy the forever home he deserves.

Through no fault of his own, this gorgeous boy has found himself in the pound after being owner surrendered, and we would love to help him get back into a home environment where he can truly thrive. When Farfalle first arrived, he was understandably shy and worried, showing some uncertainty around unfamiliar people.
