🔊 PUPDATE 12/10/25: All these little headbangers have been adopted! 🐾

YEAAAH-AH! Some foolish person at our Hobart Home gave naming rights for this litter of Staffy-Mastiff crosses to a Metallica fan. So, meet our Masters of Puppies: Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton, Hammett, Newsted, Trujillo and Mustaine (aka Whiny Dave). Ulrich and Whiny Dave are the two girls in the group (a-hem!). We don’t have pix of all of them as some band members refuse to occupy the same room.

Dasher has left behind the other reindeer and arrived way too early for Christmas. She was surrendered with her three siblings — we were told they're Labrador-German Shepherd crosses, but we think they also have some Smithfield and/or Terrier and/or Something in the mix. “Dash is an outgoing and confident puppy who loves cuddles and being close to her people,” her foster carer says.

🔊 Cappuccino has moved from Launceston our Hobart Home! 🐾

His brothers Mocha and Frappe have been adopted, but Cappuccino is still hanging around the coffee shop, waiting for his date. We aren’t sure of the true brew of this barista boy. He has a long snoot and equally long legs so he may be a Staghound x, but his stunning fawn markings only add to the mystery. There may be some Staffy in there too.

🐶 Name: Cappuccino
🔢 Age: 3 Months
Gender: Male

Could sweet little Fisher be the king of your heart? He was surrendered along with his three siblings. The owner said they were Labrador-German Shepherd crosses, but we believe they have some Smithfield and/or Terrier in there as well. “Fisher loves being around people and enjoys snuggling in for a cuddle," his foster carer says.

👑 How does a dog go from being a Princess to a mere Moppit and manage to get more pampering than ever before in the process? Read on as Lisa tells us more. 👀

👸 “We adopted Princess from the Devonport Home,” she writes. “She was quite unkempt and had many issues. We renamed her Moppit and she has become a very pampered little lady. She has come on in leaps and bounds, and has settled in better than we could have hoped for. 🤗

🙌 “She is such a beautiful, placid girl — she has become such a wonderful addition to our home. It is very sad to imagine the trauma she has experienced but she is overcoming many of her fears and issues. She is the most beautiful little soul who brings joy to us every day.” 💚

Bodie has taken a leaf out of the 'Wicked' playbook with a breed mix that sounds like someone was defying gravity: he’s a German Shorthaired Pointer-Dachshund x. “You can definitely see both breeds in him. He has the short little legs of a Dashie," staff say. “He’s very playful and affectionate” his foster carer reports

We can’t espresso how gorgeous Macchiato is with his serious face: will you latte him into your heart? This Staffy-Bull Arab x has been in foster care. “Macchiato snores — it’s so cute,” his former carer says. “He puts his paw on you to ask for more pats. He loves snuggle time with belly rubs, and bum and ear scratches.”

“Max is VERY SMART,” his foster carer exclaims. Perhaps he needs a role as a spy battling the agents of KAOS, just like the OG Maxwell Smart. “Max has personality plus!” his carer says. “He is really a gentle, affectionate little boy with loads of energy! He loves his humans and LOVES praise. His sleep positions are unique and would probably make a contortionist jealous!”
