Update 2/1/12: Apollo is on trial adoption at last!!

Loyalty and devotion are Apollo’s strongest attributes but he is also loving, settled and has excellent manners. He is housetrained and gets on well with people and kids, although has not been exposed to toddlers or younger. Riding in the car is a special favourite activity and he just loves his brisket bones to chew on.He knows how to sit and shake hands and adores getting his belly rubbed.

Apollo is not a barker but will let you know if someone arrives and once he knows you and trusts you he will love you forever.

Apollo would be best suited in a home without any other animals and he gets a bit scared of lightning and thunderstorms so would like to be inside where it’s safe and warm when there are storms about.

Although he is now 11 he is very fit and although he is not into chasing balls he loves to go walking or jogging even though he’s not as fast as he was in his prime.

If you are after a loyal companion who just wants to love you then he is your man.

Apollo is in boarding in Brisbane’s south and we desperately need a foster home without other dogs for him.

Alternatively if you would like to give him his forever home, please complete our Adoption Questionnaire.

Update 1st October: Pluto is being held over at this stage while volunteers and staff work to find a solution for him. He will NOT be euthanased as there are many people offering to take him.

PCC 816 “Pluto” Cattle Dog 14 years male. Listed for pts Thursday Am Dear old Pluto was surrendered as his 78 year old owner is going into hospital for a hip replacement and will be unable to care for at least 6 months and he has no family to help out. Pluto is a nice old boy who plodded happily on the lead and would slowly sit. He is rather overweight and is a bit stiff and creaky but his teeth are good for his age. He was happy to be handled. I think he has been looked after a little too well. He’s a lovely old boy looking for a quiet life and a comfy bed.

Lovely older boy, very sweet natured. Has worn down teeth and could need some dental work done. Read the rest of this entry »

Sweet natured boy with a real interest in the lead we had on him. Would love rope toys we reckon. Didn’t show much interest in the tennis ball. Happy to be handled. Pound staff say he is a little reactive to other dogs but showed no aggression at all to humans.
