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!

Dray

Dray has a lovely personality and he's good with people, other dogs and cats ... and he's already house-trained! He needs a fair bit of company, especially in storms as he's frightened of thunder.

From Bobby's foster home: Bobby is walking on the lead very well and is very social with other dogs we meet. He's very responsive when called and is a happy gentle dog who is very affectionate. He loves playing with our other dog and they have lots of fun together running about! He definitely needs someone with lots of energy and time to continue his training. Bobby is also house trained.

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!
