Bridie
Ridgeback X  •  Female  •  2 years old
Adopted September 2008

Bridie is a lovely soft girl. She would gladly curl up in your lap if she thought she could fit! She's looking for a home where she can have company as she thrives on having someone at her side. She is very comfortable around other dogs and will happily share her life with another canine. Bridie will move in as though she has always been with you.
Casey
Jack Russell Terrier X   •  Female  •  ~10 years old
Adopted September 2008

All Casey asks of life is gain as much human affection and attention as possible! She will delight in a home where she can have the quiet life and be a constant companion to someone. She likes her exercise but isn’t fussed about going on very long walks — a short outing and Casey will be more than happy to settle down at home for the rest of the day. She just instinctively seems to know how to snuggle up to you and prove to you that you are the most important person in her world!
Cherry
Lab X  •  Female  •  7 months old
Adopted September 2008

Cherry is just bursting with life and is in need of a home where her new human companion has the time to invest in her training as she had had very little to date. She does try very hard to please but at the moment doesn’t really understand what is expected of her. She is a clever girl and it won’t take her long to pick up the house rules and soon she will be making you very proud of her progress! She is also a particularly good looking young lady.
Chocci
Kelpie X  •  Female  •  2 years old
Adopted September 2008

Chocci just adores the company of people and is the most beautifully loving girl. There is nothing she won’t do to make you happy and for this reason she's searching for a home where she can spend lots of time by the side of her human companion, but as she is a kelpie she will need a companion who loves exercise. She is very friendly towards other dogs and she would be more than happy to share with another canine. As she's already toilet trained she'll move into your life with the greatest of ease — and as you see her sitting by your side, you'll wonder how you ever managed without her!
Daisy
Kelpie X  •  Female  •  2 years old
Adopted September 2008

Daisy is just enjoying her freedom again now that she has fulfilled her role as a Mum! She has a beautiful nature and is very happy around other dogs. She is kind and caring and tries very hard to please you. She will become a wonderful companion and as she loves company she would like to start her new life in a home where there is another canine or someone at home a lot for her to spend time with.

Izon
Labrador  •  Male  •  2 years old
Adopted September 2008

Izon is a true Labrador – full of energy and affection! He hasn’t had a lot of training to date and as he is a big strong fellow he needs a home that has time to further his education. If you can give him this, you will be stunned by what a quick learner he is, and it won’t be long before you're ever so proud of him! He loves to see you smile and will soon become a wonderful addition to a family who's looking for a real companion to be a part of everything they do.
Jack
Kelpie X  •  Male  •  12 months old

Mel
Chihuahua X  •  Female  •  5 years old
Adopted September 2008

Mel has now decided she'd like to go her own way in the world and live separately from Indy but she'll be more than happy to share with another dog (preferably a male)!

Trevor
Terrier X  •  Male  •  ~3 years old
Adopted September 2008

Trevor has possibly had a rather tough time before arriving at SADS but he’s quickly learning what fun the world can be when everyone is nice to you!! He loves to run and play with other dogs when he meets them in the park but he would probably prefer to have you all to himself at home. He is looking for an adult home and as he quickly warms to people he will become a very devoted member of his new family. He is also an inquisitive boy and he tries very hard so it won’t take him long to adapt to his new routine.
