Age: DOB 07.07.2023
Breed: Kelpie Cross
Kid friendly: Untested

Ruby has been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea, tick and worm treated and heartworm protected with Proheart injections.

Meet Ruby, a vivacious Kelpie Cross bursting with charm and poise. Born in July 2023, Ruby is a gem of a pup, ready to find a suitable home with plenty of love, companionship, and secure, dog-proof fencing to keep her safe as she explores her surroundings.

Ruby enjoys the company of other dogs if introduced correctly and lives harmoniously with a feline friend, demonstrating her adaptable and friendly nature. Ruby has also shown she's respectful around horses and has shown she could be considered for training as a muster dog. While she may get momentarily excited when spotting wildlife or birds during her adventures, she happily ignores the scrub turkeys when she's at home. Ruby is house-trained and crate-trained, making her an even more delightful companion indoors. When relaxed, Ruby is known for responding beautifully to commands and is eager to learn new ones, making her easy and enjoyable to train.

Though she may initially be wary and bark once or twice when meeting strangers, in time she warms up and allows strangers to pet her. She's just being careful which is typical of her breed, and experienced handlers in vet care, daycare, and boarding facilities agree that Ruby's cautious nature is nothing to worry about; she's simply a young dog learning the ropes but has the potential to thrive in the right environment.

Ruby doesn't bark inside the house and much prefers the company of others over solitude. Unfortunately, being home alone makes her a little anxious, reminding us that her ideal family will have an abundance of love, playtime, and attention to offer.

Rest assured, Ruby is in the best health, having been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and protected against pests and heartworm. Located in Mooroobool, she's ready and waiting for a new family who will cherish her lively spirit and sweet presence.

If you're looking for a bright, energetic, and trainable canine companion who has so much love to give, Ruby could be your perfect match. Please follow the links above to read our guidelines and fill out an application to adopt this amazing pup.

Estimated size as an adult: Very small for a male Greyhound
Location: Cairns
Microchip #956000013072538

ABOUT MICKEY (MCNULTY)

Meet Mickey, an absolutely charming Greyhound who stands out from the crowd with his unique small and dainty stature, weighing just 26 kg. He may be little, but he certainly packs a lot into his tiny frame. Perfectly suited for a home that appreciates his gentle and sweet nature, Mickey is the ideal companion who will thrive in a family environment.

Mickey's one-of-a-kind personality is evident in his shy demeanor and his ability to win the hearts of everyone he meets despite appearing to be a bit standoffish at first, almost as though he needs permission to approach. He's not afraid of other dogs, and even cats! and doesn't mind sharing his bed and toys. Additionally, he shows no signs of food aggression either. While he may be a bit wary when meeting new people, it doesn't take him long to warm up and showcase his affectionate side once he realizes they are friends. Whether it's a family with small children, toddlers, or even babies, Mickey's gentle nature shines through, making him an excellent fit for households with young ones. His recall abilities (unusual for a Greyhound) make him a delight to have around the backyard, as he remains close by while you go about your daily activities.

Mickey enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Because he is recovering from an injury to his hock, he doesn't require long walks or exercise and he's quite happy lounging on a big bed, snuggling up on your couch, or just basking in the attention of his loved ones. Mickey is a well-mannered companion, and given his sweet nature, durability, and adaptability, he’ll quickly become a beloved member of your family.

Mickey's microchip number is 956000013072538, and he has been desexed and treated for fleas, ticks, and worms. He's vaccinated and heartworm-tested negative, ready to set off on his new adventure. If this charming boy sounds like the perfect addition to your life, don't hesitate to reach out through the detailed adoption process to welcome Mickey into your heart and home.

He's currently residing in Cairns and is eagerly awaiting the chance to be part of a new family. For more details or to express interest, please check the adoption guidelines and form linked above. Mickey is ready to start his next chapter filled with love and companionship.

Age: DOB 10.04.2022
Breed: Bull Mastiff Cross
Kid friendly: Yes
Dog friendly: Large Dogs yes
Cat friendly: Not tested but unlikely
Bird friendly: Not tested
House trained: Yes
Estimated size as an adult: Large
Location: Julatten
Microchip #953010007019108
Blackie has been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick and worm treated and has had one vaccine.

Meet Blackie, a lovely Bull Mastiff Cross who exudes warmth and friendliness from the moment you meet her. Born in April 2022, she has matured into a gentle giant. Her spirit is as big as her heart, and she's on the hunt for a loving family who can appreciate her enormous capacity for affection.

Blackie is a loyal and devoted companion, happiest when she can lay quietly at your feet, simply basking in your presence. While she can be playful, she doesn't require a lot of exercise, making her a perfect match for families who enjoy a relaxed pace. She's a seasoned walker and enjoys her lead time with grace, displaying what an attentive listener she really is.

With children, Blackie is a gentle friend. Her large size and gentle nature make her a sweet protector for older kids, though toddlers might find her stature a bit daunting. She's been exposed to large dogs and gets along well with them, but her preferences don't extend to smaller, more excitable canine companions.

Hailing from a kennel environment, she appreciates the comfort of secure surroundings while being able to explore under supervision. A kind word and a gentle pat go a long way with Blackie, as she thrives on being fussed over. If your home features dog-proof fencing, you'll find Blackie will settle right in, priding herself on her spotless house manners.

Having received the best care, including being desexed, microchipped, and treated for fleas, ticks, and worms, Blackie is in tip-top shape and ready for her new adventure. In exchange for a welcoming family and a secure environment, Blackie promises loyalty, gentleness, and years of devoted companionship.

If you're ready to meet Blackie and perhaps welcome her into your heart and home, don't hesitate to fill out the adoption form.

UPDATE !!! WE'RE SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT AVA HAS FOUND A WONDERFUL FOREVER HOME WITH A FAMILY WE KNOW QUITE WELL. SHE WILL BE SO SPOILED AND LOVED AND WE COULDN'T BE MORE DELIGHTED. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHARED AVA'S STORY AND A REALLY BIG THANK YOU TO OUR DEDICATED AUTHOR LEA FOR HER BEAUTIFUL AND INSIGHTFUL ARTICLE. LEA'S "SPOTLIGHT" ON AVA WAS "SPOT ON" !!!

🚨🚨Spotlight On Ava!🚨🚨

Attention all animal lovers, feline fanciers, adopters past and present, and anyone with a heart we can encourage to assist.

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to transform our boomerang-baby to a permanently settled and ever-loved snuggle buddy.

This absolutely gorgeous little girl, with her striking coat pattern and glorious green eyes is Ava. Ava has been on quite the journey looking for her furever home, and she embodies the commitment we make from day 1 of taking a pet into our care, that for however long they live, we will ALWAYS care about their happiness and safety.

For almost 10 years, we have been involved in Ava’s future. In those ten years, through absolutely NO fault of her own, Ava has had three adoptions… and three times turned in to our care.

This absolutely breaks our hearts. Not only do we grieve with her over every “if only”, the years of love she has shared with each family who were attracted to her gentle soul and grew to adore her. We also inevitably question every step in the process that saw Ava adopted, and then returned to us THREE times. Have we failed her? Do we, and Ava, have it in us to try again? What will it mean if we don’t?

One look into those pretty eyes tells us yes, we must.

The truth is, though we love and care deeply for her, Ava is not happy in a rescue care environment. The presence of so many other pets in need, the unpredictability of those pets moods and personalities, the divided attentions of the people caring for her as well as all the others, and the flow of strangers coming and going all take their toll on a sweet, quiet little cat.

Throw in her history of settling in and feeling like she had love and security forever only for it to be taken away… Is it any wonder our hearts break for her?

Just imagine how it feels for Ava.💔

Through relationship break ups, housing uncertainty and unexpected ill health in her humans, Ava has given nothing but love, affection and company and each time her reward has been the decision that her current humans can no longer care for her anymore.

But we care. We have always cared. For almost 10 years we have tried to honour the sweetness, the loyalty and the genuine love Ava has to give in finding her a home with a warm bed, loving humans and the permanent security of home that says that they will love her forever – and means it!

While her human carers are feeling jaded, disappointed and heartbroken for her, Ava had not (yet) given up her dreams of a loving home and the peace and security she so very much deserves.

We ask you, our amazing community of animal lovers, to help us keep that hope alive.

Ava turned 10 years old on the 29th of May, she is in beautiful health, and if we are lucky, has 10 more years of love and devotion to give. Ava has impeccable house manners – you wont find her climbing the curtains or shredding your furniture, bouncing off the walls at 3am or toileting inappropriately.

Ava would be most comfortable in a home without other pets, or atleast other pets with no interest in her attention. In two of her previous homes, Ava has lived with another cat, but we have found big personalities are too overwhelming for her and she very much appreciates the quiet life.

Give this sweetheart a spot on your bed, a sunny window to lounge by and the reassurance that you love and adore her as much as she loves you and you have yourself a happy cat.

We desperately want this for her. Ava deserves a home where forever MEANS forever. Please share her story far and wide, talk about it at work, mention it at the school pick up, ask around your family – they may know the person who can offer Ava her true forever.

With your support, lets turn our boomerang baby into the happy pampered puss she has every right to be. 🤞

4th time lucky? 🍀
