Meet Bear
The Biggest Personality in a Little Pup!

Hi, I’m Bear! I’m an Australian Cattle Dog x Bull Mastiff with the cutest mix of energy, smarts, and snuggles.

I already know how to sit and come (because I’m clever like that), and at night I happily snooze in my crate. I’m also doing really well with my toilet training and I’ve figured out the doggy door all by myself! Oh, and stairs? No problem! I can go up and down like a pro.

I’ve got plenty of zoomies to share, but don’t be fooled, I’m also a total cuddle bug when it’s time to relax. My Great Dane mix foster sister is teaching me all the big dog rules, and even though she’s way bigger, I hold my own.

I also live with two human kids, and I’m super gentle and sweet with them (they give the best pats, after all!).

If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who’s ready for new adventures and snuggles on the couch, I’m your guy.

Remember that sweet face, Mr. Louie?
Just last week, we shared his story, hoping to find him a loving foster carer or, even better, his forever family. Our hearts sank when, despite our best efforts, a home didn't materialise, leaving us with no choice but to place him in kennels.

But hold on, this isn't a tale of woe!
Louie's time in kennels has been nothing short of a "bootcamp for brilliance." He's been thriving under the expert eye of a professional dog trainer and behaviouralist, and the reports are in: Louie is, without a doubt, the bestest boy!
He's made incredible strides. Remember his adventurous spirit with fences? Well, after some training on a zip line, he's completely lost interest in scaling heights.

We're also making fantastic progress on his leash manners, ensuring he'll soon be walking like a perfect gentleman.

He's been having a blast, enjoying daily walks and even making friends during playdates with other kennel residents. He's social, happy, and truly enjoying his enriched environment.

Yet, despite all this fantastic progress and fun, we know deep down what Louie truly needs, the warmth of a home, the comfort of a family environment, and the unconditional love that only a forever family can provide.

And here's where the urgency comes in, Little Louie needs to vacate the kennels by Tuesday.
New arrivals are due, and we simply can't bear the thought of this wonderful boy not having a soft landing.

Louie is a gem, a friendly, social dog who adores other dogs and playtime. While he's come so far with his leash manners, we are committed to continuing to work with a trainer to get him absolutely 'perfected' on the lead, ensuring a smooth transition into your life.

Can you be Louie's hero? Can you offer him a temporary foster spot, or better yet, open your home and heart to him forever?

We would absolutely love to hear from you, please, don't let this incredible boy miss his chance. Reach out today!

Remember the sweet girl whose beautiful fur was a tangled mess of uncomfortable mats that arrived last Saturday?
Well, what an incredible week she's had!

Our amazing groomers pampered her like the princess she is, gently removing all those painful, tight mats. Can you just imagine the immense relief she must be feeling?!

But wait, there's more! She also visited the vets (who adored her, naturally!), got vaccinated, desexed, AND had a painful broken tooth removed

And oh my, look at her now!
She's sporting a brand new 'do,' light as a feather, shiny, clean, and practically prancing with newfound freedom!

She's glowing and so close to being ready to begin her glorious new life chapter of finding a forever home, we couldn't be happier for her!

‼️ASSISTED REHOME‼️

🐾 Maisie: The Gentle Heart Seeking Quiet Security
Age: 2 years | Breed: Kelpie x Bull Arab Mix | Weight: Medium/Large | Medical: Fully Vetted (Desexed, Vaccinated, Microchipped)

Meet Maisie, we are sure you all remember her, anyway!
A truly beautiful girl with the gentlest soul. This stunning 2-year-old mix has spent a long time patiently waiting for the special home that understands her unique journey. While she is exquisitely timid and cautious around new adults, Maisie has an incredible capacity for loyalty once she builds trust.

A Sensitive Soul
Maisie is a delicate spirit who is completely non-aggressive. She is stellar with children of all ages and adores other dogs! She would thrive in a home with a calm, friendly companion dog to help her navigate the world.

To help her feel secure, Maisie is on affordable, life-long anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication. She also finds comfort in having access to her cozy crate for retreat when feeling uncertain.

The Couch Potato Companion
Despite her active heritage, Maisie is a low-energy couch potato. She loves lounging on soft cushions, enjoying gentle pats and massages, and staying mentally sharp with enrichment puzzles. She rarely barks, but wait until you hear her joyful "woo woo" greeting when you return home—it will warm your heart every time.

The Non-Negotiables: Secure Fencing is ESSENTIAL
Maisie is an expert escape artist who can both dig out and jump fences when startled. For her safety, she requires a home with a very high, secure yard where she absolutely cannot escape.
Some items that would be required is inverters on top of 6 foot fences and cemented along the bottom of fences.
Initially, she will need to be kept on a lead or zip line outdoors until she is fully comfortable in her new environment.

The Perfect Match
We are seeking a profoundly patient, gentle, and calm home for Maisie, possibly, a retired couple who are frequently home. Maisie is seeking more than just a house, she is seeking a trusting bond with humans committed to continuing her progress at her pace.

If you can provide the unwavering security she requires and have the patience to allow her quiet love to bloom, Maisie promises to be the most loyal companion you could ask for.

If you would like to meet Maisie, please get in contact with us and we will happily pass along your details to Maisies owners.

Please note - there is an adoption fee of $300 to ensure Maisie goes to committed owners.

A Day in the Life of Penny the Foster Pup 🐾
By Penny (professional chewer & part-time thief)

Good morning, world! 🌞 I like to start my day with a big stretch, a tail wag, and, if you’ve left your socks where I can see them, an early morning heist. Nothing gets me going like stealing something you really wanted to keep clean. Shoes, tea towels, hair ties… all fair game. 👀

After breakfast (yum!), it’s time for my favorite hobby: chewing. Kongs are my absolute must-have. Seriously, you can keep your fancy toys - give me a Kong stuffed with treats and I’m in heaven. But tennis balls? Oh boy. I love chasing them, but let’s be real… I’m secretly plotting their destruction the moment I catch them. 🟢➡️💥

During the day I work on my toilet training, and I’m getting pretty good at it, if I say so myself. Every time I get it right, there’s praise and sometimes snacks. (Highly recommend this system.) I’m also brushing up on my basic manners, which apparently means “don’t jump on people” and “drop the stolen sock.” I’m mostly listening. Mostly.

Afternoons are for zoomies and more ball chasing. I run, I pounce, I show off my fastest spins. Then maybe a nap while I dream of my next great shoe-stealing mission.

By evening, I curl up with my foster family, chew toy in mouth, plotting tomorrow’s adventures. Will I snag a slipper? Will I finally outsmart the humans guarding the laundry basket? The possibilities are endless. 😏

That’s a day in the life of me - Penny the playful, chewy, loveable little thief

You may remember a year ago we shared with you a carer that had our biggest dog AND smallest kitten both in her care at the same time (Fletcher and Bambi)

Well, flash forward to now, she’s done it again!

Today Kira’s household hosts Bonnie, our gentle Great‑Dane mix, alongside three four week old kittens.

Their first meeting was safely staged behind a sturdy crate, giving every paw and tail a moment to adjust without chaos.

And this is just one of the many reasons we are such big believers in crate training

Not only are they safe, secure places that make the dogs feel safe when used correctly, a great spot to keep them quiet while they are recovering from surgery, it also makes introducing them to new additions in the house a breeze!

Just six days ago, our Village welcomed 10 beautiful dogs into our care!
We are thrilled to share that these incredible souls have well and truly turned the corner and begun their journey toward a wonderful new beginning.

Every day is packed with progress:, Some are busy tackling “Manners 101,” learning just how delightful a structured life can be. Others are soaking up the much-needed nutrients and feeling the strength return to their bodies.

And then there is sweet Maggie. ❤️

Maggie has fully embraced the simple, powerful comforts she deserves. She has discovered that the combination of soft beds, morning sunshine, and safe, uninterrupted naps is pure heaven.

She loves nothing more than curling up in her comfortable spot or stretching out completely relaxed in the sun. It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the greatest gift we can give is simply safety and comfort.

Thank you for helping us make these new beginnings possible.

Its Ruby Tuesday Villagers!

Our stunning Ruby is still, unbelievably, waiting for her forever humans to find her!

At a perfect small-to-medium size (just 20kg), she’s highly manageable and ready to fit right into your couch cushions and your heart.

She truly loves every soul she meets, greeting visitors with a full-body wag and a happy, inviting smile that makes every day feel like the best day ever.

If Ruby were a person, she’d be the host of the best party in town. Her social skills are impeccable, especially with her canine peers. She is wonderfully dog-friendly and would absolutely flourish in a home that already has a young, playful companion ready to match her zest for life. A wrestling buddy and a running partner are high on her wish list!

But her manners extend beyond just puppy play. Ruby possesses a remarkable level of respect for boundaries. She demonstrates incredible understanding with older dogs, gracefully accepting a gentle growl that means "no" without ever pushing the issue. Her respectful nature ensures she’ll be a harmonious addition to any multi-dog household

If you would like to meet Ruby, please send us a detailed message telling us all about yourself and the wonderful life she could share with you.

Come and meet her in Gaven on the Gold Coast and find out!
Her adoption fee is $595, which helps The Village continue rescuing dogs just like her.

She is fully prepared, having been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and thoroughly treated for fleas and worms. Her clean bill of health, including a negative heartworm test, means she is all set to launch into her new life with you immediately.

‼️ LOUIE NEEDS A FOSTER HOME ‼️
Louie, oh Louie.
What are we going to do with you?

We have placed you with 2 wonderful foster carers, both of which you have out witted!

First, you try to play a little too much with a carers older dog who likes to relax

Then, we move you to hangout with Blue, a dog who we thought was just as crazy as you are, but then you learnt to jump that carers fences!
(Yes Louie, foster mum Dony told us all about it!)

So, you have left us with no choice but to tell everybody about your cheeky antics in hopes to find a foster home (or, maybe even a forever home, we can only hope) suitable for you!

What does little Louie need?
- Another young, playful doggy companion! One that can get along well and keep Louie entertained
- Secure, 6ft fences
- And, someone with some patience!

If you think you can look after Louie, even temporarily while he searches for a forever home, please reach out to us! We would love to hear from you.

Oh the whirlwind of rescue!

We know everybody has been thinking of the little kitten who we shared with you all in emergency vets receiving treatment for aspirated pneumonia

We can happily announce this little one was released from the vets this morning.

She isn’t totally out of the woods quite yet and is still receiving daily treatment and medication for at least the next week but she is receiving those in the comfort of a nice warm home filled with comfy beds, soft blankets, good food and whole lot of love!

The hardest part notes her foster carer is going to be keeping her quiet for the next couple weeks while her lungs recover!

She is so lively and just wants to play and jump around but oh what a great issue to have, from seeing her lethargic and gasping for every breath to seeing her wanting to play is such a beautiful sight

We are all wishing her a speedy and full recovery
