Freddie is a friendly, gentle 10 month old lovebug looking for his forever home. He is eager to please and will follow you around and watch your every move.

He can sit and will come when called, so long as there are no other distractions (he is still a puppy after all). He loves to play with other dogs and loves to go to the dog park, although he can be a little rough so he needs to play with dogs matched to his size and energy. Freddie can walk nicely on the lead but does pull when he is excited so he will need ongoing training.

Freddie loves a good cuddle and will snuggle up into your arms and roll on his back for tummy and under the chin scratches.

Freddie is currently living in an apartment but unfortunately his foster mum works away from home, leaving him alone for up to 8 hours on the occasion that the dog walker can’t walk him. As Freddie is an intelligent and curious puppy he finds ways of entertaining himself which can be destructive so Freddie needs a good backyard and plenty of walks or someone who is home most of the time.

Like all puppies he gets the zoomies and likes chewing things so he loves his chew toys and has his moments of craziness.

He is a nervous traveller so throws up on car rides, however he has recently started jumping in and out of the car on his own which is a big step for someone so nervous in the car.

Freddie’s foster mum would love to adopt him herself but her long work hours and apartment living isn’t the best life for him and she can’t give him the life he deserves. Freddie would make the perfect companion as he is dedicated to his human and full of love.

Please message us directly for more information.

Rockit is a 2 year old Jack Russel who is in search of her perfect home. Although she may be a little shy initially, once she warms up to you she will love you with all her might; showering you with kisses and settling in your lap for pats and tummy rubs.

Rockit loves to go for walks, play with her squeaky toys and her teddy bears. She absolutely love a back yard to patrol and keep an eye on surroundings, while occasionally nibbling on a blade of grass or doing zoomies!

Tug-of-war is one of Rockit’s favourite pass-times. Second to that is treats! If you buy any she doesn’t eat she will march around the house with them in her mouth until she finds a specially selected hidey-hole for storage so she can try them later.

Rockit would be best suited to a single pet household as she is such a big personality and has had conflict with another dog she shared her home with in the past.

She will snuggle down in her bed but given some encouragement she could easily be convinced to settle down next to you on the bed, but be prepared for morning kisses!

Most important Rockit can be an anxious dog who needs someone who will love her and provide her with a stable environment where she can flourish and reach her full potential. A quiet suburban home would be perfect for her.

Rockit is toilet trained, crate trained and sooo ready to find love in a home if her own. If this could be with you please send us a direct message.

Mission is a 17mth old wolfhound x kelpie (only 15kg) with such a sweet loving personality. She’d be very happy to get pats and cuddles all day but also seems content being at home during the day while her foster family is at work.

The thought of escaping has never crossed her mind, she loves being home and races back after a walk.

She’ll happily chase a ball for an hour but settles quickly once it’s put away. Her recall is pretty good, (better if you’re in possession of said ball) toilet training is 95% there but in a home with a doggy door we think she’d be perfect.

Mission can be a bit anxious and reactive with some other dogs but with slow introductions has made some good doggy friends. We think she’d be best in a home without little kids.

Mission is cat friendly!

If you would be interested in adopting Mission, please send us a message.

She is currently located in Croydon. Please message us if you are able to help 🧡

Meet the happiest, friendliest, good looking Bull Arab you'll find. Boris found his way from NSW to Victoria via one of our foster carers. He was there for quite some time and was the ranger's favorite. We can see why, as he sure is a charming intelligent and funny character.

Boris is everyone's best mate at the park. He will play well with cavoodles up to german shepherds. Even if he encounters an aggressive dog it isn't an issue, as he prefers to avoid conflict and just runs off to find someone more friendly.

When he first arrived at our foster carer's home was anxious when left home alone. He also was an escape risk out the front door and the car if not secured. Within about four to six weeks this all subsided and Boris is now very relaxed when left alone and sleeps until she comes home from work.

Our carer has no trouble letting him off lead in bushy areas, as he wants to keep in touch with his human. Boris will take some time with his new human and home to realize where he belongs. Once he works this out he will never want to leave you and will make this very plain, but for the first few weeks you will need to be extra careful going in and out of doors, as he will try to escape and keep him on lead in this time also.

As mentioned earlier boris is extremely intelligent. He is especially proficient with door handles. He has mastered every door in his carer's home, except for the deadlock on the front door (which he is still working on). He happily lets himself in and out of the back door all day, as he pleases. As we said, he's a character.

BORIS'S FAV HOBBIES
1. Zoomies through the long grass
2. Chewing on anything
3. Swimming
4. Playing with his friends
5. Accompanying you on car rides anywhere

Boris will need to be an inside and outside dog he would also love to have a dog brother or sister, but this is not essential as long as he is given lots of exercise.

WHAT BORIS NEEDS
1. Lots of daily exercise.
2. High fences
3. Human and dog company
4. Lots of time inside with you

WHAT BORIS WILL GIVE
1. Unlimited love to you for the rest of his life
2. Plenty of laughs and smiles
3. Great company at home and on walks for the next fifteen years or so

Boris is best suited to a home without young children, as he would be easily excited at home around kids and would be too big and rough to play with them.

Bell is a 6-year-old Kelpie who is a wonderful companion with a gentle and eager-to-please personality. Here are some tips and insights to keep in mind if interested in adopting her!

Personality:
Bell is described as a big sweetie who is eager to please. She enjoys chasing the ball with a ball chucker, receiving pats and affection, and being close to her human companions.

Likes:
Bell loves getting attention and affection, and being in the company of her family. She excels at meeting other dogs at the park, being gentle with dogs of all sizes, sitting in the car, and settling down at night.

Dislikes:
Bell doesn't like being left alone, but this can be managed with strategies to help her feel secure and comfortable when you're away.

Adoption Tips:
When introducing Bell to existing household pets, start with gentle introductions and give her a separate room as her safe space for the first few days.
Use a combination of treats and a slip lead for walking on a leash, especially when she gets excited around ball sports. Bell responds well to high-value treats like prime dog logs or chicken.

Bell may experience separation anxiety, so providing her with a safe and comfortable environment when you're away can help ease her stress. Consider leaving soothing noises or a video essay playing to keep her calm.

Bell can live with cats, but proper introductions and supervision are recommended. She shows curiosity towards cats but doesn't act aggressively.

Bell sounds like a loving and loyal companion who will thrive in a home with plenty of love, attention, and structured routines. With patience and understanding, Bell will make a wonderful addition to any family!

Repost as Jackie is still looking for her home!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION🏠🐾

Unfortunately I have come back but not because of my nature BUT because I have been escaping my backyard when I’m left behind.

My name is Jackie and I’m a rough coat Jack Russel.
I turn 4 in December and would love to spend it in my forever home with you.

Things you should know about me is:

I’m an escape artist - I will find a way if you leave home without me to escape and try find you, so if you go out without me I need to be left inside. I’m an inside dog and go out to sun-bake and toilet. I’m best suited to someone who is home a lot and not a full household. I love females and like males.

I’m still coming out of my shell, just be patient with me. I love cuddles and snuggling on the couch next to you or atleast very close to you, I’m a Velcro dog and will be very close to you as I’m scared you will leave me.

I travel well in the car and have no accidents. I love being out and about with you.

I am good with some dogs as I am still learning to share attention and have the tendency to grumble at them.

I love kids BUT need to be supervised around young ones as their sudden movements intimidate me and I will snap. I love to snuggle next to them for movie time, cuddles and will sneak them kisses when the opportunity arrives.. and if no one is watching I do have the tendency to take food off them😆

I go to the toilet outside or use the p*e mat in the laundry when every one is asleep, I can use the doggy door, I’m very smart.

I can walk on a leash with a harness, I don’t like the collar it intimidates me and my foster mum is teaching me to walk beside her and not run/walk off. I’m catching on so quickly!

I like to have showers but just give me treat afterwards, so I know I’m a good girl or else I have a sad face.

A bit about my routine:

*This isn’t permanent, I can easily adjustable to yours.*

I go sleepy time between 10-11pm and get up around 7am which I then go outside to the toilet and get a cookie as a toilet reward!

I get a snack in the afternoon and dinner is served around 6pm, I get wet and dry mixed up which I enjoy.

Things I don’t like:

I get scared of sudden movements towards me or loud voices. There has been lots of changes recently in my life and Ive struggled but I’m learning to trust again. I’m gentle and calm and am not a normal energetic Jack Russel but you never know I might change as my confidence grows.

I need a forever family that is patient, loving, caring and will reassure me that you will come back and you can love me forever💗

I’m Desexed, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and currently located in Deer Park vic.

Tigga’s is a gentle giant in search of companionship. Rescued from death row, he has quickly become a favourite with his friendly demeanor and impeccable manners. Despite his size and strength, Tigga has a heart of gold, always eager to please and make new friends.

He has a natural tolerance for other dogs, making him an ideal companion at the dog park or even in a multi-pet household.

Tigga is a well-mannered pup who knows all the essentials—sit, wait, lie down, and he takes food gently when offered, showcasing his gentle nature.

He adores spending time with his humans, whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or cozying up on the couch after a day of play. While he is good on the lead, a little extra practice will help him become the perfect walking companion.

With a love for children, Tigga is patient and affectionate, always ready for a game of fetch or a cuddle session. He'd thrive in a home where he can either share his space with other dogs or be the sole recipient of your love and attention.

If you're searching for a loyal friend to share your life with, Tigga is waiting to bring joy and companionship into your home!

PARVO DOG NEEDS URGENT TREATMENT‼️

Our rescue DESPERATELY needs help from the animal loving community! Share, like, comment and most importantly donate if you are in a position too.

Beanie here was rescued off death row at a NSW pound and arrived into our care on Saturday. He has now been diagnosed with parvo and with treatment is expected to make a full recovery. This means we urgently need funds to treat him, as it is costly to hospitalise these patients😢

Say hello to Comet, the sweet and cuddly pup who's destined to steal your heart! This adorable ball of fur thrives on affection and is happiest when snuggled up next to you on the couch, soaking up all the love.

With his friendly and outgoing nature, Comet gets along famously with other dogs and people of all ages, including children. While he may be a little shy around new faces and unfamiliar situations, give him a moment, and you'll see his charming personality shine.

Comet is still a playful young dog at 1.5yrs, eager to explore the world around him. He has a natural curiosity and enthusiasm for life, especially when it comes to going for walks or splashing around at the beach. Being a young pup, he could benefit from some basic training, particularly when it comes to recall, but with patience and love, he'll learn in no time.

We believe that Comet will make a perfect companion dog, fitting seamlessly into families, couples, or even the homes of older adults looking for a loyal friend.

While he has no known health or behavioral issues, he does tend to get a bit car-sick during longer rides, so gentle trips are the way to go.

If you’re looking for a furry friend who can brighten your days with cuddles and joy, Comet is ready to bring warmth and happiness into your life.

Bentley is a small-medium mixed breed who is like a large pug! We think he may be mixed with a few different breeds as he is below knee height.

He is an overly friendly pup and does get excited easily especially whilst on walks which shows in lead pulling and barking and does require some ongoing training to ease these behaviours. We would love for him to be able to settle into a home where he can work on his behaviour in a consistent and loving environment.

He is good with other dogs but is very happy soaking up all the attention in the home as a single dog. He is not suitable for cats and other small animals.

Please message us to discuss your potential suitability further.

The news we have all been waiting for…. MILO IS HOME🎉🎉🎉🎉😍 Finally after a rough 7 days in hospital our fighter has beaten the odds and survived the fatal parvo virus!! Biggest thanks to the veterinary staff involved with his care. Casey Pet Emergency and the team at Berwick Springs Veterinary Hospital went above and beyond to help him (and us) get through this tough time. It is so doubt one of the hardest blows a rescue can take. Milo has set us back close to $10,000. This is money that as a rescue organisation is valuable right down to every cent. We have fortunately been able to raise a fraction of the cost, but truthfully no where near enough to keep us afloat 😢 Although it’s great that Milo is ok, our doors are now CLOSED until enough funds can be raised to pull us out of debt and continue doing what we do best. If you have ever considered donating, even just $5 it would mean the world to our team who just want to help animals who need it. If you can’t donate please share to help raise awareness to our plight. To donate- Rise Up Animal Rescue BSB: 013593 Account number: 154199585

Oh how hard everyone is trying to get Milo better and we are all finally starting to see positive improvements! After a weekend long stay at Casey Pet Emergency, his sickness was at a peek. However through last night he made dramatic improvement and even had a few voluntary licks of food! He was discharged this morning with a much brighter attitude. Although he is still a long way from 100%, he is back at the local vet today and we should know soon if he is able to go home or whether a few more days in hospital is needed. Today makes day 5 of hospitalisation and our tally of treatment costs is sitting at $7,982.33 with todays treatments being billed this evening. It’s a huge cost treating parvo but Milo deserves a chance. Thanks to those who donate Milo and others will get that chance ❤️‍🩹🥰🙌🏻 All donations will go directly on our vet account to cover his ongoing costs- Rise Up Animal Rescue BSB: 013593 Account number: 154199585
