Kaia is a very timid dog, who is slowly gaining confidence after being in the pound. At present she is quite scared of walking in public and when she sees another dog she reacts by trying to run away however once she is used to her environment she is very playful and a good dog. She will need someone who can spend time with her to get her to be a more confident dog.  She would be best in a situation with no other dogs, or a very placid one as a companion.

Matilda is an 11 week old short haired border collie puppy. She is intelligent, loyal and incredibly smart. Matilda would make a wonderful working dog, she has the eye for herding and a strong instinct. Matilda needs lots of stimulation and she is very keen to please. Matilda is a quieter dog in the litter, she has a calmness about her and does not get flustered easily. Matilda has beautiful markings with the tri-colour marks down the legs and her little stand up ears are super cute!

These pups have been well socialised with toddlers, cats and other dogs and have been fostered on a farm with chooks and horses. They have been given lots of affection and cuddles, but taught basic manners with a firm but gentle hand.

Matilda will make an incredible companion, a great worker or if a pet, she will need to have plenty of room and stimulation. Border Collies are working dogs and require mental and physical stimulation. If they are not given enough to do, they will become destructive and your garden and furniture will suffer.  If given enough to do however, she will make an incredible pet.

In accordance with Victorian legislation and our own policies all dogs are microchipped, vaccinated to C5 and wormed, in addition to being desexed (if too young they are adopted under a desexing contract). Microchip numbers will be divulged to the successful adoption applicant.

Flip is such a very sweet dog. He has a gentle nature and is very willing to please. He came to us with no manners but, in a few days, he has learnt not to jump up, to behave around food, and his toilet training (although he sometimes finds it hard to hold on). Loves playing with toys and stays with the group when walked off lead. Gets on well with our other 2 dogs. Likes to chase the cats, but not in a nasty way, however the cats aren’t too impressed. He’s active but not high maintenance, and when I have left him inside while at work he hasn’t chewed anything. Likes a cuddle but he’s not demanding. Overall, a very sweet natured pup.
