“Mary, Mary, you’re on my mind,” went the Easybeats song that was covered brilliantly by Barnsey and INXS waaaaay back in 1987. Our Mary, a striking German Shepherd-Border Collie x, would like to be on someone’s mind so much that they whisk her away to her forever home. “Mary loves attention and pats, and really loves playing fetch and messing about with her toys,” staff say.

Look at these little West Coast eagles! Girls Queenie, Tully and Fossey were found at Waratah and have been given appropriately themed names. “They have been enjoying time in foster care with a Labrador,” staff say. “Their little personalities are starting to shine through. They are crate trained and getting up to the usual shenanigans of mischievous puppies, seeking out new toys and adventures in the garden.”

Full of pillowy softness, Gnocchi is one delicious little dumpling indeed. She came to us as a stray so we don’t know if she has any idea she’s named after an iconic Italian dish. We think she’s a Staffy crossed with a potato. "Gnocchi is a typical puppy — very cute, full of energy and then crashes,” her foster carer says.

Sandy sure is one appealing young lady. And if you adopt her, you could set her up with a sandpit you could call the Great Sandy Desert. “When approaching Sandy her wag is so exuberant, her full body is practically levitating,” staff say. She’ll need owners who are dedicated to helping her learn some manners while upping her obedience ante.

In a classic fairytale tradition, Pumpkin Spice has been cursed by the village witch and, if not adopted by Halloween, will turn into an actual pumpkin. “She is Pumpkin Spice and all things nice,” some wit at our Hobart Home noted. “She is a sweet girl who is friendly, gentle, cuddly and clever.” Sold! What more could you want?

Just think: if you adopt Zorro, staff at our Hobart Home could wave you off, crying: “Parting is such sweet Zorro!” “Zorro enjoys attention and lying on the couch,” his foster carer says. “He loves to play and carry around any toys that he can see."

Hannah finds herself far from Montana. She’s in foster care where she’s been working on her toilet training and is almost at 100 per cent. “Hannah enjoys head rubs,” staff say. “Tough toys are needed during playtime.” Why doesn’t someone just invent a Kevlar teddy bear and make a fortune?

Lock it in, Eddie! This handsome guy is locked in on finding his forever family. We’re told Eddie is toilet trained and knows some basic commands, but his foster carer discovered those commands have jumped his train of thought onto another vehicle that has departed the station. A beginner obedience class would make for a good training refresher.

🙌 Followers of our page will know that the end of the month is our happiest time of the month — because it’s adoptions gallery day! Here’s a kiss and a cuddle for our end-of-month huddle. We are incredibly grateful to our food sponsor, SavourLife, who enable us to send every dog off to their new home with the food they’re used to eating. This makes settling in easier for everyone. 💩
