ADOPT A RESCUE DOG

 

Name: Miro

Age: 6 years

Breed: Whippet(paintbox colours)

Sex: Male

Size: Medium

Adoption fee: $600

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Canberra

Miro is a 6-year-old Paintbox Whippet searching for a new home. He is a very good boy who loves to run along the beach, sniffing the air with a big smile on his face! With his sweet nature, he makes a wonderful companion, but beware—Miro does not like the postman. If you're out walking and Miro spots the postman, be prepared.

Miro walks very well on a lead and enjoys the company of the other dogs in his foster home, so he must be rehomed with another dog for companionship. This stunning dog, with his Blue, Fawn, and Brindle coat, loves a good run in an enclosed park for 10-15 minutes catching a ball. After that, he’s done and ready to go home for a nap on the couch.

As a house dog, Miro must always have access to his new digs via a doggie door or an open door. Keeping Miro warm in winter is important; Whippets are thin-skinned and lack much body fat, making them more susceptible to the cold than other breeds. Whippets need a coat in cooler months, ideally one that fits their curved back. Miro would thrive in a home with a family with kids aged 8+, a retired couple, or a single person.

Most Whippets over 2 years old can be left alone for up to 6 hours daily, provided they get about an hour of cumulative exercise each day. They are hounds and tend to be lazy after 10 minutes of fast running or a 20-minute sniff walk. Generally, Whippets are quiet and reserved dogs, although they may bark if excited, unhappy, bored, or playing. Regardless of your activity level, Whippets will adapt to your lifestyle. They learn routines and adapt quickly and easily.

Walks: He enjoys street walks but is not suitable for dog parks as he can be reactive to some dogs.

Preferences: Trouper prefers a female household as he sometimes doesn’t get along with certain men. He also does not like cats or pocket pets.

Companionship: Trouper loves human company and would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not, such as people who work from home or a retired family.

Leisure Time: He enjoys sitting in the backyard, soaking up the sun, or playing with his toys while you garden.

Sleeping Arrangements: Trouper is happy to sleep on a dog bed next to you all night.

Training: He does have some anxiety, which is being addressed with consistent, gentle, and force-free training. A quiet household would be ideal for him.

Training Commitment: Someone committed to continuing his training.

Solo Dog: He can go as an only dog at this stage.

Children: No children under teenage age as he has not been tested with kids.

Name: Kookie

Age: 6 years 

Breed: Pomerarian mix

Sex: Male

Size: Small

Adoption fee: $600

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

R251 000 066

If you love lively little ginger dogs, then meet Kookie, a 3.6kg bundle of Pomeranian mix!!  This gorgeous little dog is a loving, snuggly little boy who absolutely dotes on his humans and loves life in general. He is extremely affectionate and low maintenance, and when bedtime calls, his great joy is to scramble under the blankets with you at night; daytime cuddles on the couch are another of his favourite things – and you had better be quick or else you will be getting insistent nose nudges if you aren’t. 

Kookie would be best with a family where someone is home often as all dogs want and need company and attention.  He does have some separation anxiety but as his confidence grows this has diminished markedly.   Another small dogs (or dogs) would be good as most dogs prefer having their own kind around.  He must have access to outside via a doggie door or similar as he is a young, active dog who loves running around and exploring the garden.  He has shown both fear and delight at the attention of children, so if there are children in the household, they must be aware of this, learn how to interact with him and know how to be around small dogs.  He does seek out “his” people for cuddles and affection. 

He loves his walks, getting happy and excited when the lead comes out.  He is somewhat reactive to other dogs while out walking, but since being in foster care has improved massively with expert, kind and consistent training.  Kookie did not have much exposure to the outside world before coming into DAP Rescue so ongoing training is a must for his and his new family’s happiness and wellbeing.  He is very intelligent, and his foster parent is very impressed by how quickly he learns new behaviours and adapts to new situations. 

Kookie is on epilepsy medication for life with the cost being less than $10 per month. His medication is working perfectly, he takes it easily in a bit of cheese at breakfast and dinner and this condition has no effect on his quality of life.  Epilepsy does seem to raise its head in Pomeranians.  Since his medication has been adapted by a specialist, his very mild symptoms have virtually disappeared. 

Kookie is currently residing in Normanhurst and is much loved by his foster parent who will be very sad to see him go but knows that we will find the best home for him.  Kookie is currently living with three other little dogs as well as the occasional short-term visitor.  He is quite unfazed.   He has zero food aggression sharing his eating space with the other dogs. 

Kookie is truly such a delightful little dog who exudes love and happiness.  He is a great favourite with his groomer Emma whom he visits regularly to keep his beautiful coat knot free and comfortable. In between grooms, bushing him is so enjoyable and he loves it too.

Name: Lulu

Age: 3 years

Breed: Pomeranian x Chihuahua

Sex: Female

Size: Small

Adoption fee: $600

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

R251 000 066

Lulu is an absolute sweetheart with a gorgeous little face. She’s all Pomeranian pizzaz and Chihuahua cheekiness with none of the attitude. She settled in and became one of the family instantly. She’s a happy, quiet little soul with a waggy tail and a constant smile. You’d never known she’s had a rough couple of months after losing her leg. Extremely affectionate and the epitome of low maintenance, she loves a cuddle and a belly scratch. She’s been well trained and has perfect manners. Not a single toileting accident and so polite at mealtimes. She loves a treat!

Lulu would be best with a family where someone is home more often than not, she loves company and affection and would be very sad home alone. Another small dog (or dogs) in the home please - Lulu loves to play. She must have access to outside via a doggie door or similar as she is a young, busy dog who loves chasing a ball. She loves to follow her foster family around the house and is very happy in the car joining in with her people and doggy friends.

Despite her missing limb, Lulu loves a short walk and a good sniff. At 5kgs she’s light to carry up/downstairs. She’s off her meds now and apart from an occasional bit of phantom limb licking looks to have healed completely after the amputation and doesn’t seem to be in any pain. Once her beautiful red fur grows back in, she’ll be just as beautiful outside as she is inside. She happily hops up and down the doggy stairs to the bed and chooses to jump on and off the sofa by herself.

Lulu is currently in Neutral Bay and is much loved by her foster family who will miss her dearly but know she’s a little social butterfly who will steal her new family’s hearts immediately. She appears to have been well loved and cared for until her accident and doesn’t show any signs of abuse.

Lulu is currently living with two children and three other little dogs as well as short-term visitors. She’s curious and keen to get in the mix, often initiating play. She’d be best with gentle children who will respect her space and occasional lack of balance when she’s excited.

Name: Ayla

Age: 1 year

Breed: DachshundX Staffy

Sex: Female

Size: Medium

Adoption fee: $600

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

R251 000 066

Lovely Ayla came to DAP after spending four months at the Hunter RSPCA. Despite the RSPCA's efforts to rehome her during that period, unfortunately, no one was interested. However, she was very loved by the shelter staff and became a favorite. Ayla is 12 months old

After one week in care with Jennifer, Ayla has shown herself to be a very sweet and happy dog, although she is quite timid by nature. She loves cuddles and being with her human, always sitting underneath her foster carer's chair while she works.

Ayla is microchipped as a Dachshund x Staffy, but many breeds have brindle coats. She has a brindle solid body, a pointy nose, and a long body. When excited, she does zoomies around the backyard, showcasing her strength and muscles. Weighing around 13 kgs, Ayla is now fully grown.

Ayla enjoys her walks with her foster sister, Willow, a Groodle, who she looks to for confidence. She has been happy to meet and greet other dogs we pass on our walks with nothing but timid sniffs. She walks well without pulling on the lead.

Being just a puppy at 12 months of age, a good training program will be to Ayla's advantage. She is learning to sit for food and sit at corners before crossing the road. Jennifer is also teaching her not to jump up.

Ayla sleeps through the night and uses the doggy door to come and go. She is almost fully house-trained.

The best home for Ayla will be with a family who will invest time in taking her to training and socializing her. Ayla will suit a family with dog-savvy children, a single person, a couple, or a retired couple. Dogs like Ayla are faithful companions and love their families unconditionally.

Socialization is an important part of a dog's life. We would love to see her permanent family take Ayla everywhere with them

Name: Artie

Age: 7 months

Breed:  Cavaliar X Jack Russell

Sex:  Male

Size: Small

Adoption fee: $650

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

R251 000 066

Artie  is ready and eager to find his new home! He was a reluctant surrender from a caring family and is currently in foster care in Sydney. Born on June 28, 2024, Artie weighs 5.7 kg and stands 30 cm tall.

Artie is a happy, friendly, energetic, playful, and gentle boy. The Jack Russell energy is tempered by the easy-going Cavalier. He loves exploring, going for walks, romping with his mates at the park and at home, and cuddling with his humans. He also enjoys having something to chew on. Being young, he still loves running off with unattended items like shoes and hand towels.

Artie is looking for a forever home with an active family that includes:  Another easy-going, playful dog or two

Someone at home most of the time to help keep him out of mischief

Children who are primary school age or older, as he is a bit too energetic and fast-moving for small children

Artie is not a fussy eater and enjoys whatever he is offered, including fruits and vegetables, particularly carrot sticks. He knows not to eat his housemate’s food but does need reminding at times.

Artie has a short, easy-care coat that only needs a quick brush or rub with a damp cloth each day to stay clean, unless he has found some mud. His coat is the black and tan pattern of a Cavalier.

Artie is mostly house-trained, toileting outside without prompting, but he doesn’t like going out in the rain. He sleeps through the night in an open dog bed inside the house with his K9 mates.

Artie loves running, bouncing, romping, chewing his favorite chew stick, cuddling with his trusted humans, and sleeping in a heap with his trusted K9 housemates after a hard day’s play. His favorite playmate at home is his fellow foster, Maple, a 5-month-old miniature Schnoodle. At the park, he plays with any friendly dogs and enjoys attention from people.

Artie needs gentle, caring owners and an understanding K9 companion or two. He learns quickly with gentle training and encouragement. He has lived with small children and tolerates them at the park but is more relaxed with primary school age and older.

Name: Loki

Age: 9 years

Breed: Jack Russell x Chihuahua

Sex:  Male

Size: Medium-Large

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Meet Loki (Lochland), a 9- year -old, 4.7kg little terrier/Chihuahua x

Loki is an amazing little boy who is thriving on routine, affection, and attention.

He’s a happy cuddly boy, always wagging his tail and wanting pats and attention. If his foster carer is sitting on the chair watching TV, he HAS to sit next to him (regardless of how much space there is lol), and at night will sleep all night next to/on him. He’s 100% his shadow.  He has been  left alone for a few hours at times with another dog, and after a short time barking (witnessed on camera) he’s self soothed and relaxed.

Over the last few days he’s really got into his toys, and will carry them back to his bed where he loves to sleep in during the day.  He’s coming along well with toilet training, and with a routine of walks there are very few wee accidents inside now.  He walks well on a leash provided it’s in the direction he wants to go. It’s obvious that his confidence is growing a little more with each walk and outing.  Thankfully he’s light to carry when he decides he's had enough.

When he’s on the leash he has the typical chihuahua reaction to any big dogs but responds to reassurance/distraction, his foster carer doesn't think it’s fear thing, rather  a typical chihuahua thing.

When he came into care, he was very reactive to people, men in particular, but this has got A LOT better. People can now walk past and he doesn’t react.  He likes to approach people on his own terms, or if the other dog is being patted, he’ll happily go for pats. This has been achieved by a combination of lots of reassurance/ignoring his behaviour (and him) and managing the interaction closely.  This will need to be monitored and nurtured.

Loki is great in the car, a good eater and confident cafe dog.

What Loki needs;

Breed experience is  preferred but not essential.  Chihuahuas are funny little things with a heap of personality,  if you know you know.

People home more often than not, he will not be happy being left alone for long periods of time. He currently sleeps in his foster carers bed, that's his preferred spot.

Someone committed to ongoing gentle,  force free training.

Let him be part of your life, take him to cafes, do the coast walk, show him how wonderful life can be.

No kids, he doesn't want any of his own.

FOSTER TO ADOPT HOME NEEDED FOR BIRDIE OUR BEAUTIFUL BLACK GREYHOUND.

Introducing Greyhound Birdie. She is approximately 4 years old and was found wandering down on the south coast, she had no identification on her very large collar!! and was not microchipped. Fortunately for Birdie a Vet clinic has been looking after her during her impound time. No one has come forward for Birdie and as her time is up we agreed to take her on and find her a lovely new home. Birdie has showed herself to be a very sweet dog, she has been cat tested and just sniffed and then ignored.

The best home for Birdie will be with a family who have another large breed dog or who is looking for a single dog. Birdie will need regular walks, access to the home via a doggie door at all times and she must sleep inside in a comfy bed or on the bed. Greyhound experience would be a bonus but is not absolutely necessary. We are looking for a family who would like to adopt Birdie or to foster with the view to adopt. If you think you have the right environment for Birdie please submit an application form. Birdie will need good fencing.

River is an 11-month-old male mixed breed who has captured the hearts of everyone in a Sydney Pound. This gentle giant is a staff favorite, and it's easy to see why—they’re all cheering for River to find his forever family.

Despite his size, River is incredibly gentle and well-mannered. He's non-reactive with other dogs, and in his past life, he lived harmoniously with canine companions. Whenever someone comes by to feed or clean his run, River's tail wags with joy, but his eyes reflect sadness when he's left alone.

River is a loving and happy dog, great on a lead, and has impeccable manners with everyone he meets. He's truly a staff favorite, and we can’t wait to see him thrive in a home that will treat him like family.

River will need a home with dedicated owners who can provide daily walks and socialization with other dogs. We hope to see him in a loving home where he is an integral part of the family. River is desexed, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and microchipped.

Meet Reggie, our spirited 4-year-old Terrier mix. Rescued from the pound in dire condition, Reggie has undergone a remarkable transformation. After a thorough clean-up and essential surgeries, including fixing his cherry eye, dental care, desexing, and other necessary procedures for neglected rescue dogs, Reggie is looking spick-and-span now!

Reggie's foster carer, Alison, describes him as a very happy little boy who loves to sniff around and play chase with his doggie friend and DAP alumni, Tippie. He is house-trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and absolutely adores his meals. Reggie is also a trooper when it comes to taking his antibiotics after his major dental surgery.

Reggie loves following Alison around the house, jumping up on the couch to snuggle with her when it's time to watch TV. He will need a doggie companion in his forever home—preferably a dog similar in size, as Reggie is quite strong. While he doesn’t like being left alone for long periods, he’s perfectly content when accompanied by Tippie, his foster sibling.

In the car, Reggie is fantastic, sitting up and watching the world go by. He would thrive in a home where he can enjoy daily walks around the neighborhood. As a house dog, he must always have access inside and outside, especially with the warming weather.

Reggie would be perfect for a home with children over 10, an active retired couple, or a single person or couple who works from home some days. Remember, Reggie must go to a home with another dog. His coat does require regular grooming—a weekly brush to keep the knots at bay will ensure he stays handsome and comfortable.

Celine was rescued from Campbeltown Pound in Sydney some time ago. She came into the pound with her daughter Gracie – both dogs were in horrific condition, and it was obvious to anyone that they had been used for breeding and looked to have had many, many litters! Both Gracie and Celine have required various surgeries and medication to bring them back to good health and are now enjoying a good life with their foster carers.

Celine is a very sweet dog, she has a beautiful personality with her humans, is very obedient and loves the dog she is living with. She goes out on walks around the neighbourhood and has been to the beach a few times and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We believe that the best home for Celine will be as an only dog, she is a bit of a couch potato these days and does enjoy laying in her bed in the company of her human or toddling around the garden enjoying the cool breeze blowing in her face. 

Celine is very much a house dog and must always have access inside, she does love children so a home with kids would also be nice for her. She is on the quieter side so a home with a retired couple would also be a nice option for her.

“As you can see from my profile picture, I am a very good-looking boy, I’m just a baby at 14 months old so am still learning things, but my foster Mum says I am smart and catch on quickly.

I love my food, dry food, and meatballs, with two small meals per day. I love treats too so if you need to if you need to teach me anything = Show me the treats."

"I am amazing on lead and will trot next to my foster sister. I also enjoy a good run around the oval.

I love my enclosed backyard and chase little lizards which keeps me occupied for hours (I don’t catch any) I’m inquisitive, so make sure there’s nowhere for me to escape!"

"My perfect home will be with an ACTIVE FEMALE who will walk me at least once a day because I only have short legs.

My foster Mum says I have a beautiful temperament and I’m always calm and relaxed when I am with her. I do however get a little nervous AROUND MEN and BOYS SCARE ME so I bark at them and try to chase them away so I will do best in an ALL-FEMALE HOME. (This doesn’t mean any grandkids-supervised visits I’ll be fine. I am not snappy, just scared.)"

"Whilst I enjoy laying outside in the sun, I would not like to sleep outside. I am a very clean little boy and love sleeping snuggled up on my foster Mums bed. She puts the fleece blanket over me, and I stay there all night."

"CAR TRIPS – I love these too. My foster Mum bought me a booster seat and its great because I can look out the window. I am a fantastic camper too."

"My foster Mum has shown me many new things and I’ve taken it all in my stride because I trust her, and she makes me feel safe. Once I learn to trust my new (Forever) Mum, I’ll be the same.

I would prefer no stairs; I climb the cat tree and the dining room table!"

Another dog in my home will be best for me.

A family who doesn’t go out to work for hours on end and leave me and my doggie friend all alone for a long time."

introducing Sully our male Beagle DOB 11.5.22. 

Before Sully came into care with DAP, he had been living with a family who had 2 very young children, they had “purchased” a male (Sully) and a female Beagle but found it very difficult to care for the dogs, hold down a job and look after 2 kids. Sully and his partner dog were relegated to the back yard and did not come inside the house, not a great life for Beagles who like to get out and about sniffing and walking.  His life changed completely when Sully went into foster care with a family who had a couple of older boys, they allowed him inside, took him to the dog park with their dogs and his life became better.

He did find the changes all a bit over whelming and needed time to adjust to his new life in foster care. His foster carer has another larger Beagle and a Cavalier but thinks that one calm dog in his new home will suit him best or a home with a family who are dog savvy and will see to it that he gets all he requires as an only dog.

Sully has mastered toilet training and will now wee on command; he was not toilet trained when he came into care.  He walks on a lead in his own special way but in a busy environment he does need to wear an anti-pull harness, on quiet paths he is fine on a collar and lead.  Sully enjoys walks in grassy areas where he can walk, run, and have a good sniff without too much outside interference. Sully is not suited to a lifestyle where his new pawrents like to go to cafes or bus stops to pick up children, those places are too scary for him.  He likes to catch treats mid-air and play fetch. He can sit, he knows leave it and does like to have a chew on things that are tasty, so watch your socks as he will steal them while you’re putting them on.

Sully’s foster carers have been very patient with him and know exactly what he needs in a new home. His carers say he is a charming, mischievous delight and a bundle of joy, both day and night. When he is sleeping you must call his name as he may startle, the same applies when you approach him from behind. Something has happened that has caused him real fear. Sully loves cuddles when things are nice and calm and is a very well-behaved Beagle when out driving in the car, just laying down enjoying the ride.

A home without children will be best for Sully, and more training is needed for him to gain confidence when out and about.  We would like a Beagle loving family to adopt Sully and show him how good life can be.  Only apply for Sully if you can give him the home he needs. 

#  Please Do Not apply for  Sully if your family is not completely suitable.

Name: Milton

Age: 15 months

Breed:  maltese X Shih Tzu

Sex:  Male

Size: Small

Adoption fee: $600

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

Milton is a lively Maltese x Shih Tzu who is around 15months of age, he has a contagious zest for life, as seen on his adorable face. His mission in life is to ensure every couch is sat on and every hand is occupied patting his head. Snuggles and cuddles are the name of the game for him.

He’s a high-energy young dog who has proven to be a quick learner. Since moving to his foster home, he has gained confidence due to the kindness shown to him, something we believe he didn't have in his previous home. Milton has learned crucial recall and reliable toilet training. He can be a little scared by other dogs while on a lead (although improving!), but off-lead in appropriate spaces, he’s confident, well-mannered, and plays very well with other dogs.

Milton can be nervous around loud noises and rapid movements, but he’s proven to be a brave boy and continues to conquer his fears. He thrives in a loving environment where he can receive plenty of attention and affection. Milton enjoys playing with toys and loves to be involved in whatever his humans are doing. He’s a loyal companion who will bring joy and laughter to his new family. Milton loves going out on walks with his foster dog companion and enjoys being an inside dog with access via a doggie door 24/7. We would like to see Milton with a doggie friend in his new home, one who will play with him and keep him company if his pawrents go out to work during the day.

#  Please Do Not apply for Milton if your family is not completely suitable.

Name: Nero

Age: Nearly  1 Year ( DOB:15/02/2024)

Nero looks a little sad in this picture, don't believe it, he is as happy as a clam!

Sushma, our amazing foster carer, has been at it again, caring for another of our dear little rescues this month. Nero is an 11-month-old black Cavoodle puppy who found himself in the pound. He was terrified, which broke our hearts. Nero went to live with Sushma and her family and has made incredible progress. He is now a completely different puppy compared to the quivering bundle of blackness he was when Sushma first picked him up. Nero has had his vet work done and is ready to go to a family that meets all the necessary criteria for such a good little boy.

Here is what his foster mum, Sushma, has to say about Nero: "He is the sweetest little puppy with a ton of energy. He will only be rehomed with another small dog of similar size and age. An active family with dog-savvy kids who are 5+ would be ideal, or a family or single person whose dog is their world. Nero loves to sit and cuddle with his family and plays continuously with my other foster dog, Sterling the Dachshund. It would be lovely if we could rehome them together, although we know this isn’t always possible. Nero would like a home with a doggie door or open door so that he has 24/7 access to his mansion. He is house-trained and eats dry food along with some of my food mixture. He is very good on a lead, and daily walking and socializing are a must to ensure he is a good doggie citizen. All of our dogs will only be rehomed as inside dogs with access to the garden when they need to go out to toilet or play zoomies in the back garden. They must sleep inside with their families."

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

R251 000 066

It's time for Mrs. Peachy to go to her new home. She is the mother of five beautiful puppies who are now well settled in their new homes. Peachy is a Pug x Maltese, which gives her a rough coat. 

Peachy came from a council pound heavily pregnant. She gave birth to and raised five puppies with the help of my daughter's family and their rescue dog, Douggie. Peachy has enjoyed the freedom of a puppy-free life and has had all her vet work done. There will be no more puppies for Peachy.

Peachy is a super active girl who needs a friendly, playful, and active dog of similar age and size in her new home. She will thrive on daily walks, a garden to run around in with her doggy friend, and children (she is wonderful with kids aged 7 and up). She needs a doggie door or open door so that she has free access to her humans. Peachy sleeps on the bed with her humans and will sleep all night long. It is important that she has access to get in and out to the toilet 24/7. 

Peachy is a personality-plus young lady who loves her humans unconditionally and talks to you when she is happy to see you.

Name: Nessie

Age: 8 years

Breed: Chihuahua mix

Sex:  Female

Size: Small

Adoption fee: $495

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Nessie has been living with me since early November 24. When she came from the pound, she was limping badly. While she was under for her desexing, our vet x-rayed her back leg and found that she had a torn cruciate ligament. Nessie had cruciate ligament surgery late last year and has almost recovered. She still holds her leg up from time to time, but this should improve over the next couple of months. She is certainly a lot happier now that she is out of pain.

Nessie is a very sweet little dog. She is not fussed about other dogs and could live as an only dog, provided she always has access to her home and her people. She would love to sleep on her new owner’s bed and be someone’s one and only baby. She weighs around 5 kg and is a very good eater. I am feeding her a diet of Prime 100 Salmon and Tapioca roll and SSavourLifedry food.

Nessie would like a home where she is not left alone all day. She loves her humans and will happily trot along beside you as you go about your daily chores. Leaving her alone for hours will not be suitable. If Nessie were to go to a home with another dog, it would need to be small like her and nice and calm, as she doesn’t like to be bothered with any shenanigans! Short walks will suit her, but most of all, she likes to cuddle up on a comfy couch beside you. Nessie does like kids aged 7 and up, provided they don’t pick her up and try to carry her all over the place. She enjoys playing with them and when they throw her toys to her.

Name: Kenny

Age: 9 years

Breed:  Chihuahua mix

Sex:  Male

Size: Small

Adoption fee: $495

Cat friendly: NA

Another dog in the home: Yes

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only

Location: Sydney

R251 000 066

Kenny is a delightful boy, the size of a small foxie weighing just over 7 kg. He was born on May 22, 2015, making him 9 years old. His microchip breed description is a short-haired Chihuahua, it is evident that he is a mix, but he does have has the coloring of a brown Chihuahua.

Kenny is a dream to care for most of the time. He eats well, sleeps well in his own bed or on his human's bed, loves car trips and walks, and is good on the lead. He adores toys and treats but mostly loves his humans; cuddles and tummy rubs are his favorite things. When it comes to other dogs, he can take them or leave them, so he is best suited to elderly dogs who don't annoy him. He keeps to himself at the dog park and has fairly good recall. He knows a few commands like sit and wait.

He is an inside dog with access to the outdoors and is fully house-trained. Although he hasn’t used a dog door yet, I’m sure he’d learn quickly. He has a low-maintenance coat that requires occasional baths and brushing. He is fit and healthy. He prefers dry foods and loaf-style meat to wet food. He likes BBQ chicken and sardines.

Like some rescue dogs, he has a quirk or two. The main one is that every day he takes himself into the human's bed and scoots under the doona, where he will hide out for hours if you let him!

Kenny would suit a family with older, dog-savvy kids, an active couple with no children, or active retirees. He is okay to be left alone for prolonged periods as long as he has some toys and treats to occupy him. He would prefer to be an only dog, but older, placid doggie companions would be okay. Kenny has not yet met any cats.

#  Please Do Not apply for Kenny if your family is not completely suitable.

Orlando came into Blacktown Pound just after Christmas, and we were happy to take him in. His foster carer, Karen, welcomed him into her home with open arms.

Orlando is a well-socialised dog who gets along well with other dogs and children over 8 years of age. He is toilet trained and loves sleeping in bed with his foster carer, where he stays still all night if he receives lots of cuddles. Orlando would thrive in a home with another small dog of similar size and playfulness. He enjoys going on daily walks and is always well-behaved.

Orlando would suit a home with:

A family with children over 8 years old

A retired couple

A single individual

He is a house dog and always requires access to part of the house via a doggie door or open door. Orlando has recently been groomed and relaxes when his foster carer brushes his lovely silky coat.

Bowie has a heart full of love. He adores being with his humans and soaking up all the attention. Massages and lounging on the couch with his carers are his idea of heaven. He loves basking in the sun on the balcony until the rays disappear.

When he hears the word "WALK," Bowie gets very excited, as he enjoys his daily walks. He sleeps all through the night and is very well-behaved when his carers need to go shopping or to work, as long as he isn’t left alone for extended periods. While his carers are out, Bowie lays in his favorite spot and watches Dog TV or listens to talk radio.

Bowie is suitable for apartment living, as he is currently living in an apartment and is very well-behaved. He is also toilet trained. The best home for Bowie will be one where he is the only dog.
