A home with garden

Koda is looking for a very special home with an experienced and active owner who are committed to building his confidence. He requires his own private garden where he can enjoy the outdoors in his own safe space when feeling worried. Koda needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Sweet Koda is a lovely, sensitive boy who lacks in confidence and will have to continue his training in his new home. He is a friendly lad with people, particularly if you have a tasty biscuit in exchange, but is very easily spooked so he needs a gentle approach to reassure him. He does let his worries get the better of him at times when out and about so requires an incredibly patient, calm owner who have the time to slowly build his confidence in the areas where he feels unsure.
Once he knows you a bit better, Koda loves to be made a fuss of and is affectionate. He is a playful, energetic lad and will require plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy. He loves walks along the beach (although he doesn’t want to get his paws wet!) or running around in our paddocks chasing after his favourite toy. Once settled in, he may like to go hill walking or do some scent work to get his brain working. Koda would like to have dog walking buddies that will help give him the extra support and confidence he needs when out on his walks.
With time, patience and training, Koda is sure to make a loving, loyal companion for the right owner.

Dylan is looking for an active owner who have had high energy dogs before and can keep him company for most of the day whilst he settles in. He would like easy access to a garden where he can burn off some of his energy. Dylan might be able to live with high school aged children but would like to be the only pet.
Dylan is a confident, happy go lucky boy who is very friendly and affectionate with everyone he meets. He does become over excited very easily and does lack in manners at times so would like an owner who are prepared to work on his basic training but, as he likes a tasty treat and is eager to please, this will help motivate him. He is a classic busy spaniel who is full of energy and likes chasing after a squeaky ball so he will need plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy. He will be best suited to an active owner who would be interested in doing an activity with him such as hill walking or scent work.
Dylan can become overwhelmed if dogs get in his space and he hasn’t shown much interest in wanting to interact with them. He may not mind having doggy friends that won’t bother him whilst out on walks but he would like to be the only pet within his home.
There is surely never to be a dull moment having Dylan in your life, but he will require patience and commitment to help him reach his full potential of making a wonderful family pet.

Alfie is looking for an experienced collie owner who understand the quirks this breed can have. He will require access to his own private garden where he can enjoy the outdoors if he feels overwhelmed. Alfie needs to be the only pet but may be able to live with older, dog savvy teenagers.
Alfie is a shy boy who has had an unsettled time and, as a result, can be unsure of new people and may need a few visits to build up a good bond first before he goes home. Once familiar with you, he will show his sweet, affectionate and cuddly side and will happily sit beside you for some fussing. He is an active lad who likes to be kept busy, and he would happily chase his tennis ball for hours on end. He would thoroughly enjoy flyball or would make the ideal running partner for an active owner. He does have some collie quirks so requires an experienced owner who understand this and will not allow him to become too overwhelmed by his environment and would be best suited to a home away from the city centre. Alfie picks and chooses which dogs he likes but he can have dog walking buddies in the future if introduced properly.
Alfie has had some veterinary treatment whilst in our care. He is a boy who can be worried when he has to visit the vet and will need an understanding owner who will build his confidence and continue positive experiences. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Cooper is looking for an experienced and active owner who have owned hound breeds before and understand their traits. He will need to be kept company all day to begin with and he will benefit going along to training classes to continue working on basic manners. Cooper may be able to live with teenagers but needs to be the only pet.
Cooper is a super friendly, cheeky and lovable goof ball who brings joy to everyone he meets. He can be stubborn when it comes to his training, so he requires an incredibly patient owner who have had experience with hounds before. He is a big, boisterous boy who forgets his size and he can resort to jumping up and grabbing at you if his needs aren’t met so requires plenty of mental and physical stimulation, so he doesn’t become bored or frustrated. He loves using his nose and sniffs out every interesting smell that comes by him so would thoroughly enjoy an activity like scent work or man trailing. Cooper loves his food in all forms, from doggy biscuits to fruit and veg which will be a brilliant motivator when continuing his training.
Cooper has made a load of doggy friends here; he loves playing with them but he doesn’t always realize when his friends have had enough, and he can be persistent so would be better suited as an only pet so his owner can focus on him.
Cooper has received some medical treatment whilst with us. More information will be provided with successful applicants.

Max is looking for an experienced owner who have had large dogs before and are committed to continue his ongoing training. He would like easy access to a secure garden and to be kept company for most of the day. Max could live with dog savvy older teenagers but needs to be the only pet. He requires a home in a quiet area away from the city centre.
Max is a friendly, boisterous big boy who doesn’t realise his own size. He doesn’t seem to have had much consistency in his short life and is still currently undergoing training so his new owners must be prepared to visit him at the Home a few times to do some training sessions before he is ready to leave. Although he has made doggy friends, he becomes easily frustrated when he sees them which results in him becoming very strong on his lead and jumping up so he needs an owner who will manage his introductions carefully. He is a clever boy who is eager to please and he will do anything you ask of him for a tasty bit of chicken.
Max is really an affectionate big baby at heart, and he loves being made a fuss of. He is very playful and enjoys a tug toy or anything soft & squeaky. He adores his food and likes his enrichment sessions that include a tasty filled kong.
Max will require a lot of commitment from his new family in order for him to reach his full potential but he is sure to bring a lot of joy to your life.

Doug is looking for an experienced dog owner who have owned quirky terriers before. He would like access to his own private garden where he can enjoy off lead time away from other dogs. Doug needs to be the only pet in an adult only home.
Doug is a sweet boy who is friendly with any person he meets.

Doug hasn’t had an easy time, and he truly deserves to live out the rest of his retirement in a loving home with someone who will accept him for who he is.

Phoebe is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who have dealt with feisty cats before. She would like easy access outdoors once she has settled into her new home. Phoebe needs to be the only pet in an adult only household.
Phoebe is an independent girl who sometimes likes human attention but only on her terms. She is confident in her surroundings but due to a past experience, does have a sensitive side and can become easily spooked by certain noises, particularly high-pitched ones. She requires a very quiet home, ideally with only 1 or 2 adults who can provide her with the predictable and stable home she needs. She likes having a cosy bed to curl up in but would like easy access to a garden so she can go outside whenever she wants to. She would be best suited to a home out of the city where there is lots of space for her to enjoy roaming around.
Phoebe is playful at times, and she enjoys watching the world go by from the top of her climbing tower. Her love for food has allowed her to gain a few extra pounds in the past so her new owner will need to be mindful of this and keep her waistline trim.
Phoebe is a cat who knows what she likes, and she can be a bit of a grump if people don’t respect her boundaries but for a committed and understanding owner, she will make a lovely companion.
