Dogs for adoption

Major

  • Male
  • Husky cross
  • Approximately 2-4 years old
  • Major is an absolute gem of a dog with a calm, easy-going nature and a friendly personality that makes him hard not to love. He enjoys being around people and is always looking for interaction, whether that's joining in on family activities or simply hanging out by your side.
  • One of Major's standout qualities is how attentive he is. He already has a good understanding of commands and is constantly checking in with his humans for direction and guidance. His eagerness to listen and willingness to learn make him a highly trainable dog with plenty of potential.
  • Major would suit a wide range of homes, from families looking for a loyal and affectionate companion to an individual seeking a dog they can continue training and working with.
  • If you're looking for a dog that's equal parts best friend and willing partner, Major could be the perfect match.
  • Major is good with stock, but we are unsure how he is with cats.

Pania

  • Female
  • Staffy
  • 6 years old
  • Pania is a lovely girl with a gentle nature and a heart full of affection. While she can be a little reserved when meeting new people, it doesn't take long for her sweet personality to shine through. Once she feels comfortable, Pania is affectionate, loyal, and loves spending time with her people.
  • Pania has a wonderfully laid-back, chillaxed temperament and is happiest enjoying life's simple pleasures. She would suit a variety of homes but would likely thrive in a calm, relaxed environment where she can settle in at her own pace and enjoy plenty of companionship.
  • If you're looking for a sweet, easy-going companion to share your days with, Pania could be the perfect match.

Blaze

  • Male
  • Mastiff cross
  • Approximately 2 years old
  • Blaze is a happy-go-lucky boy who loves everyone he meets. Weighing in at 33kg, he's a big lad with an even bigger heart. With his easy-going nature and affectionate personality, he's happiest simply being around his people and soaking up all the attention he can get.
  • Blaze is also quite the escape artist and has shown that he can jump or climb standard fencing when he's feeling adventurous. Because of this, he will need a home with secure, high fencing and owners who can ensure he is safely contained while he settles into his new environment.
  • Blaze gets along well with other dogs and enjoys making new friends, both two-legged and four-legged. He's a very happy boy who brings a positive energy wherever he goes.
  • While he's already a wonderful companion, Blaze would benefit from a little ongoing training to help him become the best version of himself. He's eager to please and loves being with people, making training a great opportunity to build a strong bond.
  • If you're looking for a loving, laid-back dog with a heart of gold, Blaze could be the perfect addition to your family!
  • We don’t know how Blaze is with cats or stock

Marshal

  • Male
  • Labrador cross
  • 2 years old
  • Meet Marshal, a happy, playful boy who is always ready to brighten your day! With his friendly nature and love of attention, Marshal would make a fantastic family companion. He gets along well with kids and cats, making him a great fit for a variety of households.
  • Marshal loves being included in family life and enjoys spending time with his people. If he's not getting enough attention, he can be a little vocal to let you know he'd like some company, so he's looking for a home where he'll be part of the action.
  • This handsome lad is carrying a few extra kilos, so he would benefit from a healthy diet and daily exercise to help him stay fit and happy. Whether it's walks around the neighbourhood, playtime in the backyard, or family adventures, Marshal will be more than happy to join in.
  • If you're looking for an affectionate, fun-loving dog who enjoys being around people and has plenty of love to give, Marshal could be the perfect addition to your family.
  • We are unsure how Marshal is with stock.

Cash

  • Male
  • Crossbreed
  • Approximately 5 months old
  • Cash is a sweet, friendly young pup who is looking for a loving home to help him grow into a confident adult dog. He can be a little shy at first, but his playful nature soon shines through. He absolutely loves other dogs and is very sociable, making him well suited to a home with another friendly canine companion.
  • As a puppy, Cash will need an owner who is committed to ongoing training, socialisation and helping him build confidence. With patience and positive guidance, he's sure to blossom.
  • Cash is expected to be an active dog as he grows, so he'll need plenty of exercise, enrichment and opportunities to explore the world. In return, you'll gain a loving, loyal companion who is ready to share life's adventures with you.
