Breeds, ages and names ... we do our best!
We rarely have a reliable history of the animals that come to us. The suggested breeds & ages are stated in good faith and based on our experience over 25 years. Similarly, most dogs arrive without a name tag so they're given temporary names. Feel free to choose a new name & see how quickly your dog adapts!

Twitch
Staffy X Kelpie •  Male  •  ~18 months old

Spudley
Ridgeback X •  Male  •  ~12 months old


Matey
Staffy X •  Male  •  ~8 months old

Matey has a beautiful nature and is very soft and caring. He's a bit frightened of the world at the moment so he'lll need to live with another active dog who can be his friend. He has loads of energy and loves to run and roll with other dogs. He tries very hard to please and is quick to look for direction. Matey will also learn to live with cats.

Radar
Malamute X  •  Male   •   3 to 4 years old

Radar has loads of energy and enthusiasm! Ideally it would be beneficial for him to live with another dog ... but if not, he'll need a human companion who has the time to spend with him giving him lots of mental stimulation. Radar is also in need of some training and you'll find him a very willing student as he tries very hard to please.

Emma
Border Collie X  •  Female   •  ~3 years old

Apologies from the photographer! These aren't good photos of Emma. She's a very pretty dog but she was in the midst of a bath and I didn't manage to capture any good shots of her.

Bugsy
Staffy X  •  Male   •  ~5 years old

Lexi
Boxer X  •  Female   •  ~18 months old

Lexi has a soft and kind personality. She has probably led a sheltered life to date but if she can share her life with another caring canine she'll gain confidence in no time. She's good with cats and both small and big dogs. Lexi needs a human companion with dog experience so that she can be guided with lots of positive experiences. She will become a very dedicated and appreciative companion!

Roger
Kelpie X  •  Male   •  ~10 months old

Paris
English Staffy X  •  Female  •  ~4 years old

Paris has had surgery to repair a ruptured cruciate ligament. She had a wonderful foster home to nurse her through the immediate post-op period and she's going really well. She now needs another foster home where she can complete her recovery and get back to her full potential.

If you may be able to offer a foster home to Paris, please give us a ring at the shelter on (03) 9824 7928 or 0418 389 810. Thank you!

Karma
Shar Pei X  •  Male   •  ~18 months old

Millie
Cross Breed  •  Female   •  ~3 years old

Millie is a very energetic dog who's full of fun and loves to run! She needs some training but she should be easy to train as she's quite people-focused. Millie will do best in a home where someone is around a lot ... or possibly where she'll have canine company when you're out.

Maradonna
Cross Breed  •  Male   •  ~8 months old

Like most young pups, Maradonna is a lively active boy, full of energy and fun! He's lived with another dog in the past and loved that arrangement, so it would be lovely for him to find a new home with a canine playmate.

Jake
Lab X Staffy X Boxer  •  Male   •  2 years old

Jake is a friendly loving dog who will make a great companion. He likes other dogs and loves to play. If possible, Jake would prefer to have human company during the day.

Matilda
Kelpie X Heeler  •  Female   •  3 to 4 years old

Matilda is very people-focused and would love to have someone around much of the time. She has a very loyal personality and really tries to please. She likes other dogs but can be a little timid at times.

Diver
Curly Coated Retriever X  •  Male   •  4 to 5 years old

Shona
Husky  •  Female   •  ~2 years old

Shona has all the breed characteristics of a Husky. She'll need a strong human pack leader and to be the only dog in the family. She is also looking for an adult home.

Penny
Kelpie X  •  Female   •  ~2 years old

Penny may have been a working dog in her previous life so she'll need some training to help her adapt to life in the city... but that will be very rewarding as she's quick to learn and very obedient. We think she'll become a great companion to someone. She'd like to have her new family all to herself so she'd prefer to be the only dog in the household.

Mojo
Staffy  •  Male   •  ~5 years old

Mojo is a fantastic dog! He's happy and outgoing and loves to be in the centre of everything ... and he's great with other dogs. Mojo will fit well into a family. He'll need company during the day if you're not around, possibly a canine playmate.

Tasha
Staffordshire Terrier X  •  Female  •  ~8 years old

Tasha quite simply loves people! People are her main focus and she wants nothing more than to be with you. She needs a home where someone will be around nearly all the time or where she can accompany you when you go out. Tasha prefers not to have other dogs around, but she'll walk happily through the park with you if other dogs leave her alone.

Tommy
Cross Breed  •  Male   •  12 to 18 months old
ADOPTED!

From Tommy's foster home: Tommy is a really nice friendly dog. He walks well on the lead and plays well with other dogs, although sometimes he can be a bit much so he needs to learn limits! He's a pretty smart dog and is learning a few things like sit and sit-and-wait-for-dinner and I think he'll do well at obedience training. He's also been good with our cats and kittens. I've been leaving him at home for a few hours at a time when I go to work and there hasn't been any problem at all. He has access to the outdoors and is good with going out to the toilet. We get lots of comments about how beautiful his markings are — a few people have called him a tiger!

Pippa
Boxer X  •  Female   •  ~2 years old
ADOPTED!

Mike
Husky X  •  Male   •  7+ years old
ADOPTED!

Mike is a fantastic dog who is very settled and comfortable in any company. He has a very understanding and caring nature and will become a wonderful companion. He would dearly like a home where there is someone around quite a bit, and as he is so sociable with other dogs and loves to play, he will be very happy to share with another canine. It won’t be long before Mike’s infectious smile has won your heart and he has become an inseparable member of your family! (and don't forget you're very welcome to change my name as it's just temporary!)

Bessie
Staffy X  •  Female  •  ~7 months old
ADOPTED!
Cherry
Bulldog X  •  Female   •  ~8 year old
ADOPTED!

Cherry is a very loving dog who bonds closely with people and will become really devoted to her new family. She gets along well with dogs she meets in the park but she'd prefer to be an only dog at home as she's more interested in her relationship with her human companions! Cherry comes to you already house-trained.

Farah
Husky X  •  Female   •  ~2 years old
ADOPTED!

Farah has all the right ingredients to be a terrific dog. She came to us totally untrained and therefore needs a home with someone who's very dog-wise and can point her in the right direction. She gets along well with other dogs and loves to play. Farah will become a lovely dog given the opportunity to learn from a consistent and kind pack-leader who knows how to set the right boundaries and rein in her strong will.

Cassie
Golden Retriever X  •  Female   •  ~8 years old
ADOPTED!

Cassie is a lovely girl with a delightful nature. She has lived with another dog in the past (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and she's great with cats. She'll need to be house-trained so she can be inside the house with you ... and she needs a home where someone will be around as she's very frightened of thunder.

Beagle  •  Female   •  ~2 years old
