It's Easy to Change Your Dog's Name!
Most of our dogs have temporary names given by us or the vet clinics purely for the purpose of paperwork. If you love the name, that's terrific! But if not, feel free to choose a new name the minute you get home ...
... and just watch how quickly your dog adapts!

Roo
Red Heeler X • Female • 2 years old

Roo has a beautifully loving nature. She never runs out of energy and will definitely need a home that is very energetic and always on the go; and she'll need company during the day or she'll become very bored. Roo will do well in a more adult family where she can really bond with her new human companions.

Penny
Staffordshire Terrier X • Female • 3 years old

Penny is typical of her breed and is very very energetic. She's not a dog to be left home alone all day as she becomes too bored and will therefore need a busy and mentally stimulated life.

She loves the company of people and is more than happy playing with other dogs as long as they're also energetic.

William is very people focused and his great joy is to be with you. For this reason he would prefer to be the only dog at home but is happy meeting and greeting other canines.

Whippet X (possibly with Greyhound) • Male • ~12 months old

Bolts loves to run and play and is a very affectionate fellow.

Jake
Kelpie X German Shepherd X Doberman • Male • 2 years old

Jake has a beautiful nature and has had quite a lot of training. He is bursting with energy and needs a home where he'll have a busy active life and be out and about burning up all that energy! He is toilet trained and well behaved in the house, and as his previous home had someone around most of the time, he would like to continue that arrangement. He's not a dog who will be happy to be left home on his own all day.

Larissa is a bouncy young girl with loads and loads of energy. She has a very sweet and happy nature and is just waiting for someone who has time to invest in her education to give her a new home.

Brutus
Staffordshire Terrier X • Male • 2 years old

Brutus is full of that Staffy energy and he's just bursting to burn it up. He is looking for an adult home where he can have human company during the day ... and having him inside with you will be no problem as he's toilet trained.

Duke
German Shepherd X • Male • 12 months old
(possibly crossed with Malamute or Rottweiler)
Adopted

Duke truly is the most beautifully natured dog. He is soft and kind and loves everyone. He really enjoys meeting his canine friends and running and exercising with them.

Magenta

Adopted

Magenta is an outgoing happy dog looking for a human companion who has the time to dedicate to furthering her education.

She needs a busy active life and a canine mate to live with (she'd especially love to live with Cino, the handsome boy above!)

Bubbles
German Shepherd X • Female • 12 months old
Adopted

Bubbles is a little timid and simply thrives on human company and therefore won’t suit a home where everyone is out at work all day. She loves being inside with people and being your constant companion. She will need to share her life with another dog to show her the ropes. Bubbles will become a truly dedicated companion and it will take no time at all for you to become the centre of her world.
