🤎 PAPPI 🤎

Pappi is a striking mix of chocolate and white fur, with endearing floppy ears that seem to have a mind of their own. Despite his young age, he's already reaching waist height, making him a bit of a "big boofa" for his age. His expressive eyes twinkle with mischief, and his tail wags constantly, giving away his playful nature.

Pappi is the epitome of goofiness and charm. He's endlessly playful, chasing after anything that moves, whether it's a ball, a leaf, or his own tail. He's incredibly affectionate, showering everyone he meets with sloppy kisses and enthusiastic tail wags. Pappi is a social butterfly, always eager to make new friends, whether they have two legs or four.

While Pappi's exuberance is endearing, it also means he has a surplus of energy that needs to be channeled appropriately. He would benefit from consistent training to help him focus his energy and learn basic obedience commands. With patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation, Pappi is sure to become a well-behaved and beloved member of any family.

✨ ZOOOOOOOM ️✨️

Zoom is the kindest little Border Collie puppy with a personality as unique as his name. With his adorable face and freckles, he's sure to capture the hearts of everyone he meets. Zoom is not only a beautiful boy but also an easy puppy who brings joy and laughter to his family with his playful antics and affectionate nature.

Zoom is a delightful blend of independence and affection, equally content entertaining himself with toys as he is snuggling up for cuddles and belly rubs.

While Zoom may have bursts of energy, he's also known for his ability to relax and unwind, especially after a busy play session.

Zoom's chilled-out attitude makes him the perfect companion for families looking for a balance between playtime and relaxation.

♥️ HUNTER ♥️

Hunter here! Whilst it may look like butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth… beyond these dreamy chocolate eyes is a cheeky larrikin who loves a good cuddle, but with a touch of spiciness for good measure.

I absolutely adore kids and my gentle nature means even the most nervous feel at ease around me. Quite the social butterfly, I’m always excited to meet new friends (both human and furry) and whenever the kids are playing, I’m guaranteed to be in on the fun too.

Outside in the backyard is my favourite place to be, whether it be “helping” with the gardening, sunbaking or attempting to set a new zoomie PB. I love the water too, so will enjoy the occasional swim or attack of the sprinkler.

Being the clever little vegemite I am, I learn new tricks quickly, having mastered already sitting and waiting patiently for my food but am looking forward to what challenging tricks my furever family would like to teach me. Toilet training is still a bit of a work in progress, but I’m getting better at it each day and have started to let my foster family know when it’s time to go outside.

During the work week I am happy to chill on the office floor while my foster mum works, but if my family need to go out I am quite happy to relax in my crate with a couple of toys. At night I settle quickly in my crate and will sleep through the night, waking only to let my family know if I need to go outside.

If you have been looking for a best mate who will give you years of love and laughter, then I am the pup for you!

💙 BILLY 💙

Hey there! Billy is my name and silly is my game. I will make you smile constantly with my cute little expressions and antics.

I am a playful pup and would enjoy having another playful doggy friend in my forever home. I promise not to annoy them if they want to rest. I am quite mature for such a young pup, so I already know not to jump all over the older dogs or chew on them when they aren't playing with me.

I am also very polite and courteous. I sit patiently for my food and am rather horrified if one of my siblings forgets to toilet outside. Oh, I do have the occasional accident myself, but I do my very best not to.

Do I tick all of the boxes for your brand new family member? Polite, courteous and fun! What more could you possibly ask for in a pup?

I am looking forward to meeting you and making you smile soon.

Love, Billy.

🪨 FLINT 🪨

What do you call a sad Kelpie?

Blue.

What do you call a Blue Kelpie?

Mine!!

so apply below!!

G’day! my name is Flint. I'm an affectionate bundle of excitement who loves showering you with cuddles and kisses.

As a young Kelpie I have lots of energy and so would love an active family who will include me in their daily lives. I’m learning when to be calm and have adapted well to suburban life accompanying my foster parents to coffee shops, and the local pub.

I’m a clever boy who likes to learn new tricks and so far, have mastered ‘sit’, ‘drop’ and ‘shake’, I’m still working on ‘on your bed’. I’m a quick learner and would like to find a home who is committed to keeping up my training and keeping me supplied with treats as a motivation!

I love being around people and so would not like to be an outside dog, I’m loyal and devoted and just want to be part of the family. I would love a yard to run but given my bouncy nature I’ll ideally need 6ft fences just in case I get curious for new adventures.

I currently live with my foster parents and another dog, but she’s an old girl who can’t keep up with a young pup like me! So I’d be happy if there was another youngish dog to play with.
Whilst I don't live with children, I’ve seen a few around and as I like to greet people with a jump, I'm probably not suited to very small children.

I love going for walks, I'm excellent in the car, toilet trained and sleep through the night in my bed, If you are able to keep me physically and mentally stimulated, I will make the perfect family member.

🩷 CLEO 🩷

Hi everyone my name is Cleo,

I might be small but everyone who’s met me says that I am one of the most brave, cheeky and calm (I know that sounds wild) puppies they’ve met. So far I’ve spent a few weeks living at my foster home with an older brother and sister and I have loved every minute of it! I love to play all day with toys and my siblings and have already shown some keen herding instincts (maybe this could be a fun activity my new family does with me) but I equally love to cuddle up to my humans at night and be by their side at all times.

I have spent time with other dogs and have done well with males&females, I’ve not really had a chance to meet any cats but I’d be alright with time as I pick up on boundaries quickly. I have met a few kids so far and have absolutely adored them but do at times think they need to be rounded up. I’m working on my toilet training and getting better each day and I am fantastic in my crate. I’ve been learning to sit and shake

I’ll make a wonderful companion and cannot wait to meet my new family who will love me as much as I will love them.

🩷 SASHA 🩷

Meet Sasha, the sweet and affectionate goofy pup with a heart of gold! Sasha is great with kids, although she can get a bit jumpy around little ones. She craves attention and will happily stay by your side all day.

Sasha loves snacks and can follow commands when the snack is good enough. She's not bothered by birds but enjoys exploring, so good fencing needed.

Sasha is a playful pup, but loves a good rough and tumble. However, she's a pro at taking naps and has a goofy side inherited from her Rottweiler roots. She's incredibly loyal and has won over even the most skeptical dogs with her friendly nature.

Although she might not be suitable for long periods alone, Sasha thrives in a home where she can be by your side, especially during storms or loud noises. Just watch out for those moving cars – she might need a little extra guidance in that department!

💙 DONALD 💙

Donald is a sweet little boy who needs a loving, fun, safe forever home. He loves pats, cuddles and has even started to want belly rubs.

Donald is a very active dog who loves exploring, running, catching tennis balls, jumping and climbing. He loves water, including catching raindrops and running around under the hose. He spends most of his time outside and needs a large, fully enclosed yard with high fences all the way around. He is still a puppy and attempts to get into everything, so he needs to always be kept busy and supervised when inside.

Donald needs to be trained, but he is extremely smart and a very fast learner, responding well to rewards and positive reassurance. He sleeps indoors at night in a covered crate to keep him calm and safe. He seems to be toilet trained and has been doing well with learning to sit.

Donald enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely have no issues living with a new doggy friend. He has been great with teenagers and school aged children as he is very social and gentle with family and visitors.

It is still very clear at times that Donald had a rough start in life, occasionally getting scared and cowering when hearing unusual or loud noises (like new squeaky toys). He is also sometimes scared if a ball or another item is being kicked near him. Therefore, he needs lots of affection, patience and kindness.

💦1 YEAR AGO TODAY WE SAVED SPLASH. 💦

Can you believe it's been a WHOLE YEAR since we saw a post about a dog on deaths door needing urgent help?

We weren't prepared for all that came with it.

- How another disgraceful "rescue" turned him away.
- How this was done intentionally in revenge for a business deal.
- How he had a brother that had already been murdered in the same way.
- That it would take $26,000 to save him.
- The self-proclaimed Kelpie and Koolie experts who outed their own ignorance about coat colours with his before and after pictures. (Ooof this one was gold).
- That the Queen of Chihuahuas would end up adopting a Koolie Kelpie.
- That our DARE family would grow by 2000 amazing followers invested in his story.
- That he would become the poster child for why we don't euthanise when treatments are available.

He was like an entire season of a soap opera in one!

Thank you again to everyone who followed and helped Save Splash. He will co tineu ti be our poster boy 🩷

We are a holistic rescue whose mission and vision is to reduce the number of unwanted animals through the power of education and community programs. We will never euthanise animals due to finance, behaviour or health providing their is a treatment.

🪷 PO PO 🪷

Not the kind that with flashing lights and sirens or the one that eats tubby custard....

Introducing this sweet little girl, Po. She looking for a family that is willing to give her lots of love and attention. She’s super smart and very fast. She loves to run and play fetch, even if she’s still working on bringing the ball back.

Training is on-going as she builds her confidence up, especially around people. She prefers when you get down to her level so you don’t seem so big and intimating. All she needs is some time and patience (and maybe some yummy treats) before she lets you see how sweet and clever she really is.

Spending time with her foster sister has built her confidence around other dogs and she would have a blast with a doggy friend at her new home to play with but would also do well on her own with mental stimulation.

She is able to sit and wait for food. She sometimes gets too excited and forgets that jumping is only for catching balls, so she would suit a home with older kids.

Getting in the car is a breeze as it means it’s time for a fun adventure.

She’s happy to spend all day outside running and playing, but at night she loves to come inside and sleep on a comfy warm bed… She would absolutely love if that bed was yours!

✨️ BENTLEY ✨️

Foster to adopt only.

Bentley is beyond adorable and a smart observant boy, with a nice shiny caramel coat. He seems to have very typical border collie traits and seems to have the heart of a guard dog.

He’s totally ok with people and copies your own behaviour: ignores strangers, go away quietly, as told, with acquaintances and friendly with friends! Being very aware of his environment and wanting to protect you, he comes immediately when called/whistled at from afar.

When nothing is happening, he’ll be in the yard quietly or sit nearby or nap while you do your own thing.

He loves cuddles, is potty trained, understands stay, sit, off, out and seems to want to learn more tricks. Ahead of doing something, he seems to check with you mostly. Once he’s been shown the house rules, he settles easily, is not a big eater and is quiet, aside of expected reasons.

When you check on him, he looks at you expressively and has good communication. He sometimes comes and drops to sit position on his own, to signify “teach and stimulate me”! He doesn’t eat a lot and prefers to do a job instead.
 with firm, clear instruction and without food rewards, learnt to stop action immediately when told to stay and understands super fast your preferences i.e for him to not jump for any welcome, nor push at the door to go out and not be pushy for whatever he might test your habits with, when you first meet him.
 walks ok on a lead, if moving cars/bikes/other animals 5-10 metres away.
 will need someone who can continue his training to walk without getting excited at rounding up cars, bicycles and other animals (huge leaps in improvement in controlling himself within first sessions)
 would suit a good-sized yard where once he’s finished zooming, he’ll take it easy and check out every sound.

He’d suit single/small and big families/retirees preferring an only pet... so that he can take care of you and your home like the single hero that he wants to be 😉

He’s such a great companion!
