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!

Kelpie X • Male • 1 year 9 months old

Blaze
Lab X • Female • ~4 years old

Keeley

Now that Keeley is no longer a full-time mum, she has time to enjoy herself! She would like a home where she is the only canine and can have some company during the day. She focuses on people and tries very hard to please ... and as she's an intelligent girl it won’t take her long to pick up on the rules of the home. Keeley will become a very loving companion to her new family. (See her litter of 8 pups on the Puppies page)

Jarrah
Spaniel X • Female • 6 years old

Jarrah is a lovely girl but rather uncertain of herself. She doesn't like being left alone and will need a lot of human company in her new home. She probably hasn’t been socialised with other dogs a lot but that's quickly changing as she learns what fun other canines can be. If you have the time to invest in settling Jarrah and furthering her education she would be delighted to meet you!

Coco
Kelpie • Female • 3 years old

Coco is a timid young lady and this is probably because she has never been out and about much. She will need to live with another kind and caring canine who can give her confidence and show her the way. Coco will become a very dedicated member of her new home once she has settled in and will be very grateful for everything you do for her!
