Meet Winston, a distinguished Mastiff cross with an endearing and happy demeanor.

This senior boy, born on July, 2017, loves the companionship of humans. Winston is a steadfast and loyal friend who would make a wonderful addition to an adult household looking for a canine companion.

Winston would thrive in a setting where he can accompany his human family on walks and take in the world. At the commencement of walks, Winston is inquisitive and may pull, but with correction, Winston settles into a good walking pace.

He travels well in the car, adapting to new environments with ease and confidence, making him a great buddy for outings.

Winston is treat focused and takes them gently from you. When it comes time for treats, Winston loves to impress you with his good manners, sitting patiently, and offering his paw like a true gentleman.

Winston is dog social, yet he has displayed some dominance when interacting with canine friends. Winston has shown he could coexist with another dog, but he would need to be matched with a well suited, non invasive friend. Although dog friendly, we believe Winston would be at his happiest as an only boy of his household.

When walked through our cattery, Winston displayed minimal interest in the cats, suggesting he could potentially cohabitate with a feline friend, provided they are dog-friendly and respectful of his space.

Winston is located at our Charmhaven Shelter. His $390 adoption fee covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾

This charming boy is ready to share his golden years with a loving family. If you're looking for a poised, sofa-loving friend who will bring warmth and companionship into your life, Winston might be the perfect match for your home 💙

Meet Turbo, a young goofy chunk of love. He is a strikingly handsome Rottweiler mix who is eager to find his place in the world!

Born on February 18, 2024, Turbo's young and vibrant spirit shines through, radiating happiness and excitement for life.

His engaging personality makes him a delightful companion who's always ready to make new human friends and explore outdoor environments.

Turbo would thrive in an active and experienced home where he can continue to learn and grow. He responds well to direction, thanks to his motivation for treats and a strong bond with his handler.

Turbo is in the process of mastering his manners, and with your commitment to his ongoing training, he’s on his way to becoming a well-behaved young gentleman. While he currently jumps up for attention, a gentle reminder to sit proves effective.

This lovable pup is motivated by multiple toys, from squeaky ones to basketballs, making playtime a blast. Though he enjoys interacting with other dogs, Turbo is still learning acceptable play behavior and needs further socialization. Until then, dog parks and off-lead areas should be avoided.

For the time being, Turbo is best suited as an only dog or with a tolerant, social resident dog in an experienced household. He's not suitable for homes with cats or pocket pets.

Turbo is located at our Charmhaven Shelter. His $550 adoption fee covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾

If you're a devoted dog owner ready for an active, intelligent companion, Turbo just might be your perfect match—a loyal friend eager to share in countless adventures.

Meet Odin, an outgoing and enthusiastic dog with an exuberant love for life and a people-centric personality. He's the epitome of sociability, always eager to greet new faces with wagging enthusiasm, making him a warm and engaging companion for a household that loves interaction.

Odin is a strong and sturdy boy, best suited for a mature, dog-experienced household that's active and ready for adventure. While he radiates friendliness, his excitable nature and strength on the lead call for further training to ensure enjoyable walks and outings. As much as he's keen to explore new environments, Odin needs a capable handler to guide him through his energetic antics.

When it comes to interacting with fellow canines, Odin's rough-and-tumble playstyle can get ahead of his manners. Although he shows no signs of aggression, his exuberance may not be welcomed by all dogs. For this reason, his ideal home would either have a well-mannered, laid-back canine friend or perhaps none at all. Currently, Odin would appreciate avoiding dog parks or off-leash areas until he's more acquainted with the do's and don'ts of doggy etiquette.

Odin was happy to meet our facility cats. He showed some interest but became disengaged and moved away from them quickly. We believe that it may be possible for Odin to be housed with a dog social, confident cat.

Odin has a love for toys that rivals his love for people, often tucking them into bed with him after an engaging day of play and tug-of-war.

He has a basic understanding of commands such as 'sit' and 'shake' and is eager for further behavioral training, which will refine his manners. Odin is a non-fussy eater with a gentle demeanor, politely awaiting meals and treats.

Odin is a gorgeous white & white American Staffy born 25/6/2020. He is located at our Charmhaven Shelter. His $500 adoption fee covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾

If you're an active household with the patience and expertise to help Odin refine his skills and channel his zest for life, this awesome fellow will shower you with affection and joyful companionship.

We care for the lost and abandoned companion animals throughout the Central Coast.......

Since 1 July 2014, the Society of Companion Animal Rescuers (SoCares) has been managing the Charmhaven impound operations on behalf of Central Coast Council. We also operate as an adoption centre for the unfortunate stray dogs and cats that are not claimed by their owners.

Every animal in our care is treated as one of our own. Our aim is to REUNITE lost pets with their owners, REHABILITATE animals not claimed and REHOME every adoptable animal to a loving forever home. We are a small group of dedicated animal lovers who achieve substantial results with little financial assistance.

SoCares has successfully reunited and rehomed thousands of dogs and cats from all over the Central Coast. SoCares is a registered Not For Profit Charity ABN 22106398721.
