Update 31/01: She is now in foster care in Cairns and will be available to adopt once her vetting is done and we have more of an idea about her temperament.
She has a nice temperament but is a little bit timid.
She did kill 2 chooks on a ladies property however, before we impounded her.
Bella came to us a sad and scared little girl. She has come a long way with a lot of love and patience. Bella is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She loves nothing more than to climb into your lap!
You will be greeted every time you walk through the front door with a leap, bound and lots of licks! She is very obedient and respectful and has learned basic commands like “sit” and “down” (for lay down).
She is toilet trained, though in a new place it would be beneficial for her to be shown where she is to go. She has learned this quickly with her carer simply by taking her to the yard, letting her sniff around, then when she goes the action is reinforced with the word “toilet!” a few times and then she is praised with an enthusiastic “good girl!”
Bella responds best to positive reinforcement, if a male voice tells her “no!” too loudly it frightens her because of her tough early life before she came to us. She knows when she is not doing as you ask/expect (stealing the dog food can out of the bin!) a simple “UH UH!” stops her in her tracks. She gets along famously with other dogs and didn’t bat an eyelid at her foster cat sibling, though she would benefit the most from a home where she can be inside with her new family. She will make a very close and loyal companion for life. She really is a treasure.
Please complete our adoption questionnaire if you can give her a loving home.

Update 30/01: Dutch is coming into foster care with AWDRI and will be available to adopt once his vetting etc has been attended to. Further temperament information and photos will be posted once we have him in our care.
Gets on with other dogs but is very timid with the possibility that he has been ill treated. He has a very nice nature.
Echo is a nice gentle girl and good with dogs, kids and cats. She seems to be going thru a growth spurt. She can jump! But doesnt go over a standard farm sized gate at our place but can jump up and down from verandah to a pen about 4 feet below/up. She is very affectionate. She is approx 6-7 months old
If you can give this beautiful girl a very special home that can cater for her hearing impairment, please fill out the online adoption form.
Panda is a happy little fella who is going to make one lucky owner very happy indeed! He’s only new to life so still needs gentle exposure to some things but he seems to take everything in his – albeit small – stride.
He’s friendly and confident with other dogs and has already made many friends at the local dog park however it’s human attention he craves the most. Panda is happiest when in the same room as his two legged companions so would much prefer the opportunity to be an inside dog. While he doesn’t beg for attention, he’s definitely first on the scene when there’s a cuddle going!
Panda seems to have toilet trained himself having no accidents inside to date. However, when taken to a new environment I suspect a little reminder of where to toilet would be helpful. His past history of flea allergy dermatitis would indicate that his new owner would need to be particularly vigilant with flea control.
Overall, he’s a medium energy pup that’ll grow into a medium size dog. He’s also guaranteed to be loyal, smart & will soften the heart of all who meet him!
Please complete our adoption questionnaire if you would like to give Panda a forever home.

He is a beautiful souled young man, who loves and gets along with children and other dogs. Koby has found his playing ability and loves to have a stuffed toy/squeaky toy to snuggle up with. He is still a little wary of strangers but is getting better everyday.
Koby is very easy to train and has learnt to sit and sleeps in a crate at night. He is almost toilet trained but this too, is improving daily. He sleeps in his crate overnight with no accidents. Koby is gentle, loving and very eager to please. He loves to snuggle and grab a cuddle at every opportunity.
Koby is a grateful little man who just wants to find a family to love and that will treat him the way he deserves. He will make a fantastic companion to any family willing to continue his basic training. A fantastic little man!!
Koby is honestly a delightful souled little man, who is so grateful for his second chance. He loves to snuggle with his foster daddy so doesn’t have a fear of males like his sister which is good. He has come out of his shell so much in the short time he has been with his foster family. He has a very proud foster Mummy and deservedly so.
Here is the link to his youtube video:
