Looking for a smart, spirited, and affectionate sidekick? Isla is your girl! This active young Kelpie is the total package — brains, heart, and a love of wide open spaces.

True to her breed, Isla is always on the go and thrives when she has a job to do (even if that job is inventing one herself!). She's becoming better and better with her recall, has solid basic obedience under her belt, and would make a super fun training partner for someone who loves working with clever dogs.

Isla loves property life — space to explore and stretch those long legs is her happy place. She’s also great inside the home, fully crate trained, and knows how to wind down when the work is done.

She gets along well with other dogs, is good around confident, dog savvy cats (she might attempt to round up a skittish cat!) and is respectful around horses.

Despite all her smarts and energy, Isla is a sweet, affectionate girl who adores a good cuddle after a busy day. She’ll need an active home with plenty of stimulation, enrichment, and love — and in return, she’ll be your loyal, loving adventure buddy for life.

If you are interested in adopting Isla, please email us or message the page with details about yourself and your home.

Many of the pups that come into our care have had very limited exposure to the world around them, often missing that crucial period for learning and socialising between 3-14 weeks. That means our foster carers play a vital role in making up for lost time—working hard to build confidence and give each puppy the best possible fresh start.

Lily is certainly enjoying top-tier puppy care with our experienced foster mum, Rebecca. From beach runs that combine enrichment with recall training, to calmly vacuuming around her to help build composure and confidence around potentially overwhelming sounds—Lily’s getting the very best foundation for a bright future.

Thanks, Bec!
We appreciate everything you do!

Kodi is a great all rounder.
She is a loyal companion who shys away from nothing and loves to explore.

Fostered with kids, cats and dogs, Kodi has been travelling to a work site with her foster carer where her favourite thing to do is to sit in the footwell of the machinery and drive around the yard.
She travels perfectly in the car or truck and will try to join you on adventures even if she isn’t actually invited.

Kodi is great with other dogs and would do best with a well rounded dog who is able to continue to teach her the ropes, whilst playing tug-o-war and chasey with her during her playful puppy outbursts.

Kodi is crate trained and is great at sitting on request. She walks well on a lead but like all puppies, will need to continue her training in her new home.

Kodi toilets outdoors on request but needs a keen eye to pick up on her cues to ensure she gets taken outside on time.

She has been fed Royal Canin puppy, has received her first puppy vaccination, has been microchipped, desexed and wormed.

If you are interested in learning more about Kodi, please email our friendly team with details about yourself and your home.

💖AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 💖

Bug the Chug: The softest soul with the biggest heart.

Bug is curious, independent, and incredibly attentive. He loves watching the world go by, quietly observing everything around him with those big, soulful eyes. He’s smart too and is picking up on his basic obedience like a boss. He is perfect in a crate with his buddy and learning to enjoy the calm time on his own.

This little guy might be shy at first, but once he warms up, he becomes the ultimate cuddle companion — settling in for long, cozy snuggles like it’s his full-time job.

Bug adores children and lights up around them.
He would love to be part of a family with kiddos who will gently love on him.
Bug absolutely needs another dog in his forever home. A confident canine companion to show him the ropes, build his confidence, help him feel secure, and share in his adventures.
He may be tiny but he loves a good rough and tumble with his giant, goofy foster doggo bro.

Bug is a super smooch and generally has a calm nature. He is still just a baby and will need puppy school and further training to help him shine.
He loves to be active so will require daily enrichment and exercise.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle pup who just needs a little time and a lot of love to truly shine, Bug is your boy. With patience, companionship, and structure he’s sure to blossom into your most loyal little shadow.

To apply for Bug please message us with detailed information on the home you have to offer. Please include fencing type, other pets, children and anything else you feel relevant to the life Bug would have for you.

🐾 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🐾

PONY: The Beach-Loving, Paddle-Boarding Lab of Your Dreams

If sunshine had four legs, a wagging tail, and a slightly destroyed, slobber covered toy in her mouth, it would be Pony.

Pony is only 8mths and still in her goofy puppy stage—full of curiosity, with just a dash of chaos. She will thrive with someone who loves that playful energy and knows how to use it for making training fun and rewarding. She can be strong on the lead when a good smell takes over, but it’s nothing a bit of training won't control.

Yes! That's right...
Pony loves paddle boarding. So much so that she'll sit on the board in the shed staring at you with those big puppy dog eyes, begging to go out on the water. And she only learnt this new hobby a few weeks ago!
If you’re into paddling, kayaking, or boating, she’ll be your number-one fan (and your adorable co-captain).
She also loves bush treks and long walks.

Pony isn’t just about action, though. She’s also a world-class cuddler. She's the kind of dog who wants to be close, always ready to rest her head on your lap after a day of exploring.
She bonds deeply and loves generously.
Under the puppy zest, there's a very gentle soul.
Pony has been visiting a retirement village and has won the hearts of everyone there with her sweet vibe.

It's hard to find fault with Pony. She’s bright and full of heart. Her puppy quirks are just part of the charm. She's been learning all the basics in obedience and then some, smashing goals like a boss!
Ongoing training will open up endless possibilities for this amazing girl.

If you’ve got a paddle board, a sense of adventure, and a lot of love to give, Pony is ready to meet you!

If you think you have the perfect home for Pony, please send us a detailed message about the life you have to offer her.

We all have days where we wake up and our load can seem overwhelming.
This feels especially true when you have lives hanging in the balance and you feel compelled to push through.

Lately we have been a little overwhelmed and, much like the proverbial duck on the pond, above water all looks swell but underwater we are paddling frantically to keep up.

And we think there are a number of people that don’t realise that our organisation is 100% unpaid labour. Our core team of three, receive no financial compensation for the hours of work we commit each and every week.

So, who are we?

We are partners.
We are parents.
We are employees, students, caregivers.
We have jobs, school runs, appointments, family events, and kids’ sports.
Our children get sick.
We get sick.
We feel overwhelmed.

We are just as busy as you.

But we choose to add rescue to our already full lives.
We don’t get paid.
We don’t get days off.
We don’t work less—we just stretch ourselves thinner.

Why?

Because every single day, animals are abandoned.
They are homeless.
Neglected.
Suffering.
And even with so many rescue groups out there—it’s still not enough.

So we wake up early, checking emails before the house stirs.
We go to bed late, answering messages after dinner, bedtime, and laundry.
We spend our lunch breaks trying to save a dog.
We check messages during toilet breaks.
We squeeze in adoptions on weekends.
We make calls while driving.
We sneak away on family holidays to arrange transport or take a desperate call for help.

We get tired.
We fall behind.
We make mistakes.
We forget.
We cry.

We’re met with frustration when our responses aren’t immediate.
We hear harsh words when someone disagrees with a decision we’ve made for an animal we know best.
We receive rude responses and curt replies to our well meaning intent.
We’re accused, dismissed, ignored, ghosted, stood up, and messed around.

Some days, we wonder how we can keep doing this.
But then we see the flood of animals still in need—
And through the exhaustion, we find a way to push through.

Please be patient.
Please be understanding.
And above all, please be kind.

Behind every rescued animal is a human whose only form of payment is the happiness and accomplishment that they draw from rescuing animals.
Without that reward, there will be no more volunteers left standing to hold the lead.

Between Thursday and Saturday evening we accepted 5 dogs into care.
We responded with a flurry of hurried “Yes’” to guarantee their safety without having secured a carer and without any consideration of the medical expenses, or how we would work it into our already busy schedules.

The most recent arrivals are a pair of puppies found hypothermic, clinging to life, only able to lift their heads. They were surrendered to a local vet clinic where they received intensive care to save their lives.

With some active warming, fluid therapy and diagnostics, the pups improved dramatically and were transferred into our care. Their body temperatures were barely registering on a thermometer, they were suffering from liquid diarrhoea and all eight of their feet were covered in deep, oozing ulcerations.

Currently named Barry and Gary, these teeny tiny pups are rallying; now eating, passing formed stools and showing a little bit of the usual puppy spark.

Welcome boys.
We promise you will be loved and valued from this day forward 🌻

✨Available for adoption✨

🛑 APPLICATIONS CLOSED 🛑

Weighing in at a tiny 3kg, Belle is the ultimate lapdog – if you’re sitting, she’s snuggling. If you’re walking, she’s following.

Wherever you are, Belle wants to be right there with you.

Belle is still learning about the big wide world. She’s a clever little cookie and thrives with a confident human (and ideally a calm, small dog buddy) to help guide her with routine, structure and love.

She has discovered the fun in learning new things and would love further training to broaden her skill set!
She's nailing the house training thing and is mastering using a doggy door.

Toys are her obsession (next toy you, of course) She loves to play! Her new home must love buying her new toys!
Car rides and walks are a new found enjoyment and she'll happily accompany you where you may go.

Belle's ideal home is one where someone is home more often than not, a family with older kids and a friendly, non-dominant small dog to play with. She’s a girls’ girl at heart – preferring female humans – but with patience, snacks, and gentle pats, she warms up to the fellas too.

As a Poodle mix, Belle will need regular grooming, and she’s still getting used to things like nail trims and social dog outings.
She needs someone patient and kind to help her build confidence.

Belle is a 13mth old Toy Poodle x.
Adoption fee $1000
