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!

Bear
Mastiff X  •  Male  •  6 years old

Bonnie
Border Collie X  •  Female  •  3 years old

Poppy
Heeler X  •  Female  •  20 months old

Poppy is an extraordinarily active young lady and will therefore need a home that's focused on exercise with a lifestyle in which Poppy can be a part of family outings etc. She will be more than happy to live with another active canine. She has had some basic training and it would be beneficial if her new home could continue with that.

Heeler X German Shepherd   •  Female  •  3 years old

Rupert
Kelpie X  •  Male  •  3 years old

Dallas
Border Collie X  •  Female  •  18 months old

Jessie
Kelpie X  •  Female  •  ~12 months old

Jessie is a typical kelpie and will needs lots of exercise and stimulation. Her main focus is people so she'd love a new home where she can have as much human company as possible. She enjoys a game with other dogs but is probably more than happy to be the only canine in the house.

Roxy
Heeler X Kelpie  •  Female   •  18 months old

Roxy has a loving nature and all she is asks is to become a very important member of the family where she can be included in all the family activities. She is toilet trained and has quite a lot of training and loves to play with other dogs. She will become a true family dog but as she's a working breed. she'll need a lot of exercise. So if you're a busy active home then Roxy would love to move in with you!

Alfie
Lab X  •  Male  •  18 months old

Alfie really understands the meaning of “energetic”! He's a big bouncy boy with very little training but he does try very hard to please. He's a strong young man so he'll need a home where someone can give him the exercise and guidance he needs. He's a handsome fellow and will become a great companion ... and will be eternally grateful to the family who helps him settle into a new life!

Gypsy
Kelpie X  •  Female  •  8 years old

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'll respond very well to training as she really wants to please once she understands what's being asked of her. She loves the company of people and is more than happy playing with other dogs as long as they're also energetic.

William
Staffy X Mastiff X Shar Pei  •  Male  •  18 months old

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. He hasn’t had much training to date and is very strong, so he'll need a home where someone has the time to invest in his education. He has lots of love to give and will do his very best to make you happy.

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

Bolts loves to run and play and is a very affectionate fellow. He will need a home where exercise is a major part of the daily routine and he'll be an easy dog to train as he is very focused on his human companions. He'll be happy to live with another dog as long as they share his love of exercise and playing.

Bosley
Stumpy-tailed Heeler X Kelpie  •  Male  •  4 years old

Bosley’s greatest joy in life is to be with you. He will become a truly dedicated companion – always by your side! He loves to run and will be a great exercise mate. He's happy to meet other dogs and have a chat while out on his walks but the centre of his world is his human friend and the bond between you will soon be unbreakable!

Bubbles
Border Collie X  •  Female  •  ~2 years old

Bubbles is a lovely dog. She has had some training and will slot into your home very nicely as she's already toilet trained. She loves the company of other dogs and thoroughly enjoys her exercise. If you're searching for a real companion, Bubbles is waiting for you to come and meet her!

Max
Heeler X German Shepherd  •  Male  •  Juvenille

Max is bursting with energy and enthusiasm! He hasn’t had a lot of training to date so he's waiting for a home that has the time to channel his energy and enthusiasm into his education. He tries very hard to please and once he has the hang of what you require of him, he's very willing to show you how clever he is.

Pepsi
Kelpie X  •  Male  •  ~9 years old

Pepsi may be a bit older, but don’t be fooled — he has lots of energy and will never say no to a long walk! He's looking for a quiet home where his new human companion is around quite a bit to pass the day with him. He has kind, intelligent eyes and seems to naturally understand what you ask of him. If you're searching for a true companion, Pepsi is waiting to meet you!

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
Doberman X Kelpie  •  Female  •  18 months old

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. Larissa will fill your life with fun and love, and if exercise is your thing then she's the perfect companion for you!
Lara
Kelpie  •  Female  •  18 months old

Lara is just bursting with energy and will need a very busy and stimulating lifestyle. She's a clever girl with some training already under her belt (including toilet training) so she'll slot in with ease.

Brutus
Staffordshire Terrier X  •  Male  •  2 years old
Adopted

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. He is happy to meet other canines but would prefer to be a single dog in his home.
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. As he is a fellow with so much to give, he is seeking a home where he can have a lot of company and be very much included in all the family activities.
Magenta
Lab X  •  Female  •  2.5 years old
Adopted

Magenta is an outgoing happy dog looking for a human companion who has the time to dedicate to furthering her education. She's a very soft and warm girl who will shower you with affection and gratitude for every little thing you do for her! 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.
