Pumpkin is a very sweet and affectionate girl who is always looking for humans to be with.

With her being one of the smallest in the litter she easily went undetected when coming into the house to sleep at people's feet. She is the first to wake in the morning and demand her breakfast but that puppy bark is quickly quietened with tail wags and plenty of puppy kisses when she sees you.

Pumpkin spends most of her time relaxing in her soft bed. She enjoys more soft play, preferring to be rolled on her back and having her belly rubbed.

As with all pups and especially for large breeds, it will be important that Pumpkin receives ongoing training and boundaries to help her grow into the best dog she can be.

Pumpkin is $400 + $100 desex bond* to adopt and comes microchipped, C5 vaccinated and given flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.

Thank you to everyone who recently shared their adoption stories with us 😍! We have so many amazing stories to share – our social media manager is very happy with all the content that will last them months 😅

So, without further adieu...

Ned is a Cattle Dog x Beagle and was adopted in 2021 as an almost-5-year-old. Ned had to undergo heartworm treatment in our care for several months before becoming available for adoption.

Ned fits right into his furever family. He loves snuggling and he loves food, but his favourite things in the world are going for walks and his BALL! 🥎😄 (we believe it – even the pound told us he loves water and his ball when he was released to us).

We are so pleased Ned has found a place to call his own ❤️ Thank you to his furever family for giving him a second chance at life.

Diesel is a big cuddly bear. At 7 years old he is fit, but not with the high energy needs of a younger cattle dog. Diesel enjoys canine company but prefers to hang with his two legged friends. A daily walk, several tummy rubs and then gazing adoringly at his hoomans is Diesel’s ideal day. This fella has a calm and gentle personality, and sits politely for his dinner. Diesel is seeking a home where he’ll have company most of the time.

Diesel is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), and given flea/tick/worm prevention.

Meet Gorgeous Riri!

Riri has been in care for a few months now and has grown into an amazing pup. She is willing to learn and try new tricks, has learned how to walk properly on the lead and loves to swim! She has always loved her food and thrives off enrichment activities. This active girl is very social and gets along well with other dogs

Riri's favourite position to sleep is in a ball on you or spread out above your head. She loves the rain and will play for hours in puddles. She is toilet trained now and if there is no access to outside she will cry at the door. Riri adapts well to new environments.

It’s been a blessing watching this pup grow from skinny and malnourished to strong, independent and willing to try new things. We hope we can soon find her forever home!

Riri is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, and given flea/tick/worm prevention.

If you would like to meet Riri, please email [email protected]
