Foster carer needed or Foster to adopt!

HANK
12 MONTHS OLD
MALE
STAFFY CROSS
Adelaide, SA

Hey Iā€™m Hank!
Iā€™m a young, strong, and super playful pup with a big heart and a lot of energy! Iā€™m a staffy cross, with maybe some boxer in there!

My favorite things are running around like a maniac (I call it ā€œzoomiesā€), playing tug-of-war, and rolling in the grass. Oh, and Iā€™m a big fan of treatsā€”especially when Iā€™m being a good boy! Belly rubs are also a top-tier delight for me. I love to lean into you so we are always touching.

I have been around other dogs, though,Iā€™d really love to be the only dog in my new home, just til I settle in. Iā€™d prefer to hang out with my human family, soaking up all the love and attention they can give me. Iā€™ll always be loyal and protective, and in return, Iā€™ll shower you with affection!

Iā€™m still learning how to be my best self (I mean, Iā€™m just a year old!), so I need a patient person/s who can help guide me with some training and set clear rules. Iā€™m pretty clever and eager to please.

Iā€™m good with kids but Iā€™m a bit of a bouncy boy, and I might accidentally knock over smaller children, but I promise Iā€™m all love! Iā€™d really love a home where I can get lots of exercise, fun activities, and cuddles after a long day of playing.

If youā€™re looking for a loyal, energetic companion whoā€™ll keep you on your toes and make you laugh, I might be your guy! Just make sure youā€™ve got enough space in your heart for all the love and zoomies Iā€™ve got to offer!

Let me know if that works for you!

My name is Grinch but Iā€™m not green or grouchy or grinchy at all. I am adorable, affectionate, and adoptable! Yay! Just in time to spend Christmas with my forever family!

Iā€™m a golden retriever greyhound cross, 8 weeks old, cute, cuddly, and companionable. I love being around humans, and other dogs, and I donā€™t even mind the cat. Children love me, and I love them right back! How do you like me so far?

I am a growing boy and will need ongoing training, of course. But I already know all the basics. I am working on toilet training ā€“ Iā€™m getting there. I am terribly smart, even if I say so myself.

I have microchip so youā€™ll never lose me. Iā€™ve had a vaccination, and thereā€™s another one of those due early in the new year.

Do you like Bunnings? I like Bunnings!

Now you know that puppies arenā€™t just for Christmas, right? But Christmas is a good time to fall in love WITH A PUPPY and live happily ever after. We could so do that.

Together with SavourLife dog food, Iā€™m trying to help Grinch the rescue dog, find a new home. Click this message to learn more about Grinch, &share the link, to help them find a home faster!SavourLife donates 50 % of their profits to help rescue dogs like Grinch

FEMALE
STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER CROSS
Adelaide, SA

Foster or Foster to Adopt

Attention all dog lovers! Luna is waiting for someone special to give her the love and security she craves. This delightful pup is eager to fill your home with affection and companionship. Her endearing personality and love for simple joys make her a wonderful addition to any family.

Luna, whose name rhymes with her all-time favorite food, tuna, enjoys a variety of treats like salmon, rice, and, most importantly, cheese. While she might be a little particular about her dog food, she's always up for a snack-sized culinary adventure. Luna has a playful side too! Chasing pigeons in the park,and doing zoomies around the garden are two of her favourite pastimes, and they never fail to make her tail wag furiously.

Though Luna gets along with other dogs, she dreams of a home where she can be your one and only four-legged friend. She's also great with kids, making her a perfect fit for families looking for a gentle, loving pup. However, walks can sometimes feel overwhelming for Luna, so she might need a patient partner to help her navigate the world outside.

Luna is seeking an emotional support human who understands her quirks and loves her completely. With her treasured emotional support toys by her side, all Luna needs is a slice of the couch, a warm coat for chilly days, and an endless supply of cuddles and belly rubs. In return, she promises to fill your life with love and loyalty in abundance.

If you're ready to open your heart to Luna, she would be thrilled to join a family who promises to love her as much as she'll love them. Is your lap ready for its newest snuggle partner? Luna is waiting to meet you.

Luna still needs to be desexed so you will foster to begin with and once this has been done, we will then do the adoption. There is no fee for fostering but should you decide to adopt there will be an adoption fee.

MAUI

STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER CROSS
Adelaide, SA

Hi there! I'm Maui, a staffy cross with so much to offer!
I'm still so young, and looking for a home to call my own, could it be with you?

I sleep through the night, am mostly house trained and am great with other dogs, though I can be a touch bossy around food, so this will need to be monitored to avoid me becoming a resource guarder.

I am amazing with kids, have met some little tackers, though am still a puppy so consistency is key in ensuring its reinforced not to jump.
I'm not super mouthy with people but do like to chew beds, shoes and wooden items. Continue to teach me what's right and wrong and we won't have an issue!

I'm okay with cats, but am quite boisterous so ensure they can hold their own!

Pocket pets are not a good fit for me, my prey drive is a bit high.
If you think you have what it takes to raise a Demi God of your own, apply today to be my foster to adopt family! You won't regret it.

STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER CROSS
Adelaide, SA

Hi, I'm Moana, a pint sized staffy cross, looking for my forever home!
Don't let my size fool you, I am oozing with personality and can hold my own with all of the big dogs living around here. I'm so good with other dogs, I have 3 foster brothers and an actual brother here and we get along like a house on fire!

I'm almost house trained, though still might need reminders to go outside. I can use a dog door, but forget that I know how at times.
I sleep throughout the night in my crate, and will only make a peep if I need something (or hear you and you don't let me out for my morning business straight away)

I'm okay with cats but need a strong willed one who will put me in my place if I get too rough.

No pocket pets. I love to chase birds. Not to brag but I even managed to catch one! (My foster mum saved him, don't fear)
I'm great with kids, not mouthy or too jumpy, and fine with people from all walks of life.

If you think I sound like your perfect match, apply to foster to adopt me today! I look forward to meeting you!

Gā€™day. Iā€™m Tank. Iā€™m an almost 3 year old boy!

Iā€™m not like youā€™d expect a dog called Tank to be. Im a friendly boy who loves pats and attention. But I am also independent; and enjoy my own company.

I am doing some training which I am getting good at too. We are learning sit, and wait, and all that kinda thing. Itā€™s actually more fun than youā€™d think!

I like going out for walks on my leads and for rides in the car. At home we play chasey or play with chew toys and tug toys.

At the end of a busy day, we curl up to sleep. But you know what? If thereā€™s room in your life for a good boys, I am here and waiting for you!

BENNY
9 MONTHS OLD
LABRADOR RETRIEVER CROSS

Hi. Itā€™s Benny here. Let me get straight to the point: Iā€™m young and handsome and I want a home.

Iā€™m 9 months old and a Labrador retriever cross. You guessed it! I am fit, smart, and very food motivated. These are all good things in a pup. It means that training is a breeze and as a result I have excellent manners. I know all the basics, along with very polite patient waiting and shaking hands/paws. I am toilet trained. I have good recall and Iā€™m pretty good on a lead.

Play time is when I come into my own. My own clam shell pool, that is! Yes, I love playing ball and tug and all those things. But my favourite thing to do is flop about in the water. Iā€™m a great swimmer if you wanted to take me to a place with enough water. We could walk or go in the car ā€“ Iā€™m good either way.

You might think that a lab/retriever pup is a bit full on, but Iā€™m pretty chill. I mean, for a lab/retriever pup. I love a cuddle or a nap, or just hanging out in the sunshine, or lying in my clam shell of water.

All my vet work is up to date. My microchip is ready and waiting to add you details to. So should we do this thing? This adoption thing? I think so.

BULL ARAB CROSS

Hi folks. This is Clyde. Iā€™m looking for a forever home and I reckon thereā€™s someone here who is looking for a dog like me.

Iā€™m 16 weeks old. Smart, friendly, always up for a walk or a cuddle, depending on your mood. My sister Bonnie thinks sheā€™s the pretty one of the litter, but hey, letā€™s be honest, itā€™s me. I mean, just check out these cute, floppy, spotty ears!

I love being outside doing stuff ā€“ chasing butterflies (itā€™s a very manly thing to do!) or investigating some good smells. I like a rousing game of chasey. On an unrelated topic, rabbits and chooks are interesting, ay.

I am crate trained, toilet trained, obedience trained, everything trained because I am very much into food. With a brain and stomach connection like that, training is a breeze.

So what do you reckon? Are we good to go? Iā€™ll bring the fun. You bring the snacks!

BONNIE
16 WEEKS
BULL ARAB CROSS

Hey everyone. My name is Bonnie. You know, like Bonnie and Clyde? Clyde is my litter mate. Heā€™s around here somewhere. But this is all about me!

Bonnie, or Bonbon ā€“ sounds a bit Christmassy, doesnā€™t it! ā€“ is my name and playing with socks and shoes is my favourite game. I assume if you are leaving shoes and socks on the floor, they are for me, right? Anyhoo, I am a mere 16 weeks old so itā€™s possible that I will get bored with that as I mature.

Other things about me: I am friendly, cuddly, veeeeery pretty, and bold. Clever, obedient, adorableā€¦ did I say pretty? Oh, I did. Well itā€™s true.

I know lots of basic commands and I am very well crate trained. I am also very interested in chooks and rabbits. They are not so interested in me. I like to play with my brother Clyde, and other dogs that we know. I like balls and sticks and toys.

I would like to find a fun and caring home where I can live forever and ever. So if you have one, and you would like a good dog (with beautiful markings and a pretty face!) I think you should adopt me. Donā€™t you?

Life is full of ups and downs. I have had a little run of downs the past few years, but things are looking up again now.

Iā€™m Kayla and Iā€™m a Crested Chinese Powder Puff. I know, fancy! But Iā€™m humble with it. I am 10 years old. You might think thatā€™s very old for a dog, but I feel like I have more than a handful of good years left in me.

Iā€™d like to find a good home to live out my retirement years. I love a walk and a visit to the dog park. I like meeting other dogs there, but also people. I love a cuddle, I rarely bark, and I know how to use a doggy door.

Iā€™m not perfect. Close, but not quite. If thereā€™s other dogs around at mealtimes, they better watch out ā€“ or you better watch me ā€“ because I can get a bit tetchy. Sometimes I donā€™t quite make it outside when I need to go. And Iā€™ll need regular grooming. The upside of that is that I donā€™t shed so I am low-allergen.

Iā€™ve had some vet stuff happen which the Scruffers folks can fill you in on, but Iā€™m all good now. Like I said, things are looking up!

So, all I need now is that good home I mentioned. Look me up. I wonā€™t let you down.

Meet Squeak!

Hey there! Iā€™m Squeak, Toastā€™s quieter brother. Iā€™m a 9-week-old Staffy cross who loves playing but also knows how to enjoy some calm downtime with my humans. Unlike Toast, I wonā€™t jump all over you; instead, Iā€™ll sit and wait patiently for some cuddles, watching you with my best puppy-dog eyes. I enjoy the company of kids, big dogs, and even cats (although Iā€™ve learned that not every animal enjoys a chase!).

Iā€™m working on my toilet training and getting better every day. Iā€™m ready to join a family whoā€™s excited to keep teaching me and helping me grow. If youā€™re looking for a loyal, gentle puppy with a love for learning and affection, Iā€™d love to meet you. Come by and see if Iā€™m your perfect puppy companion ā€“ Iā€™m ready to be your new best friend!

Meet Toastie!

Hi there! My nameā€™s Toast, but my foster mum calls me ā€œToastieā€ or ā€œToast Machineā€ ā€“ probably because Iā€™m always on the move! Iā€™m a 9-week-old Staffy cross with a ton of energy and a heart thatā€™s ready to love my future family. Right now, I live with my brother Squeak and a few cats and kittens (who love a good game of chase!). Iā€™ve even been around toddlers and babies, and Iā€™m working hard to learn not to nibble ā€“ Iā€™m just a curious, playful pup, after all!

I do get a bit car sick but I love meeting new people and learning to be a good boy on the leash!
Iā€™ve mastered sitting for treats, and Iā€™m really close to being toilet trained. Iā€™m learning more every day and would thrive with someone whoā€™s excited to keep teaching me! If youā€™re ready for a playful, affectionate puppy whoā€™ll bring a lot of joy (and laughs) to your life, Iā€™d love to meet you. Come spend some time with me and see if Iā€™m the right fit for your family
