Meet Jamie - A sweet soul looking for her furever family!

๐Ÿฑ 9 Month Old Domestic Short Hair
๐Ÿพ Desexed and vaccinated, with microchipping included

Jamie started as a scared little kitten afraid of the very big and very new world around her. Slowly but surely she has been introduced to lots of new people, animals, and experiences that have helped her grow into a cuddly and charming cat! While Jamie can show her shy side to strangers, she's especially fond of other cats and dogs, and will quickly befriend any furry companion that comes her way.

Jamie was extra scared when she first came into her current foster home, but with her carer's love, patience and understanding, Jamie revealed her affectionate and gentle nature. Although her quiet countenance can come across as aloof, Jamie has no less love to offer for her new family.

๐Ÿพ Desexed, vaccinated and microchipped
๐ŸฅŽ Includes 4 free training classes

Looking for a young, loving companion to share your life with? Say hello to Pocket, a stunning two-year-old fawn greyhound with a heart as soft as his velvet ears. Pocket is still just a baby in greyhound terms, full of potential and eager to discover what it means to be part of a family.

Unlike most greyhounds, Pocket has never raced, which means heโ€™s now learning all about the big, wide world with curiosity and grace. Heโ€™s quickly getting the hang of pet lifeโ€”settling into routines, enjoying soft beds, and exploring everything from toys to tummy rubs.

Pocket is a calm and gentle boy who gets along beautifully with other dogs, making him a great match for homes with existing pets. Heโ€™s also showing signs that he could be cat-friendly, so with proper introductions and supervision, he may happily share his space with a feline friend. He has also been great with small kids!

He walks well on lead, is learning home manners, and is happiest when heโ€™s near his humans. Pocket has a quiet confidence and a truly loving natureโ€”he doesnโ€™t need much, just a soft place to rest and someone to love him.

Whether youโ€™re looking for your first greyhound or hoping to add to your pack, Pocket will bring peace, affection, and a gentle spark of joy to your home.

Meet Ellie - a stunning girl with a calm soul and a heart full of love.

๐Ÿถ 3 Year Old Greyhound
๐Ÿพ Desexed, vaccinated and microchipped
๐ŸฅŽ Includes 4 free training classes

With her sleek frame, soulful eyes, and sweet nature, Ellie is the kind of dog who quickly wins over everyone she meets.

Sheโ€™s past the puppy stage but still young enough to enjoy lifeโ€™s adventuresโ€”whether thatโ€™s a quiet walk through the park, a lazy afternoon on the couch, or exploring new sights and smells. Ellie has a gentle and affectionate nature and would thrive in a home where she can enjoy company, cuddles, and a predictable routine.

Like many greyhounds, Ellie is low-maintenance and loves nothing more than to lounge around after a short burst of play. She's friendly with other dogs and could happily share her home with a canine companion. While her experience with cats is still being assessed, sheโ€™s shown a calm and manageable demeanor around small animals.

Ellie is looking for a forever family who will cherish her soft personality, offer a comfy bed, and give her all the love sheโ€™s waited so patiently for.

Could Ellie be the heart-stealer your homeโ€™s been missing? Head to our website to meet her! https://pawsdarwin.org.au/animals-available-for-adoption-2/
