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!

Max
Heeler X • Male • ~10 years old

Max needs a quiet adult home. He has developed special needs since coming to us. Please ring the shelter on (03) 9824 7928 for details. From his foster home: Max has a beautiful personailty! He is very friendly, gentle, quiet, has a placid nature and loves to have a pat and sit close by you. Max loves going for walks and gets along well with all the other dogs in the park. If left on his own, he doesn't bark or whine at all, but keeps himself busy with a bone. I have also found him to be very obedient. I think Max will become very devoted and form a close bond with his new owner/s. He's low maintenance and loves human company. Max is a pleasure to have around!

Diesel
Cross Breed • Male • 18 to 24 months old

Diesel needs to live with another active young dog and preferably with someone who's around a lot. He loves cats and he's mainly toilet trained.

Snoopy
Border Collie X • Male • ~3 years old

Snoopy is an active fellow bursting with energy! He'll need a home with another dog who can keep pace with him. He's had basic training and tries very hard to please and he'd be more than happy to continue his training further. If you have an active fun-filled lifestyle that can give Snoopy lots of mental stimulation, he'd love to meet you and your existing canine companion. Snoopy is also toilet trained and will need an adult home with no children.
