Hazel is a lovely little girl, who thoroughly enjoys playing with balls, toys and her10 month old Kelpie foster sister Bobbie. Hazel’s basic training is coming along really well, and we feel that with her alertness and trainable nature she would suit an active family or someone wanting a great obedience/agility dog.

Lucy is a very active & extremely friendly Staffy x Kelpie. She is great with kids, cats and other dogs as well as being completely housetrained. She travels well in the car if secured and in her free time loves chasing balls.

Her recall is improving day by day and she has now mastered “sit” and “drop”. Well mannered at feeding time, she just loves toys & cuddles!! She is not a barker but “talks” when excited! She would excel at the high jump events so will need secure yard or acreage. Very food orientated, she will be a breeze for the right family to invest in further training.

Meet Charlie, surrendered by a young couple who did not have the time to devote to him and were perplexed by the consequences of his boredom in a suburban backyard. Well, the rest is history. Charlie has plenty of push and is a tireless worker who is now being trained to work dairy stock. Added to this, he is an extremely friendly type who will do anything to please his master. Charlie is now being tweaked and, with two weeks of full training, will be available for adoption soon.

Huey arrived with a hairline fracture to his right foreleg which requires splinting, bandage changes and confinement. In true cattle dog style, he takes all of this in his stride. Huey is a lively and loving dog with lots of character. He is a typical cattle dog, being loyal and always at your side, and has a good nature, getting on well with his gentle foster sister and rather bossy foster brother. When introduced to cattle and horses, he was interested but calm, although he hasn’t been into the paddock with them. He chases cats with fervour, and a home with cats would not be recommended. Huey is biddable and responds well to commands and is progressing very well with his toilet training. He has been left in a crate while his fracture has been healing and has shown no signs of being destructive to his bandage or his bedding. He loves nothing better than to cuddle up next to you or sit at your feet, but does not appreciate being excluded from company and will become demanding if this happens (barking). He therefore requires a home where he is included as part of the family, and then he will be a loving and loyal companion. He is a little protective of his home but has shown no signs of aggression.

Bear is a friendly energetic dog. He has had some training to work cattle but would equally suit an active family that would like to make him a big part of their every day life. He is sweet and never without his smile. He would be best suited in a home without cats or other small animals but gets along well with other dogs. Does Bear look like the companion you are looking for to keep you company on your next adventure?

He is one of four kelpie x pups in Victoria, from a litter of six from Grafton,NSW. He comes (mostly) when he’s called and loves being with people. He will make a great family dog.

Rocket is a 1 year old Kelpie X loving boy who is full of energy and just wants to play. He is still a little bit shy and would suit a family with older children as he jumps a bit. He is very gentle even when he jumps and lands very nibbly on you. He can stand on two feet when he want to look at something, which makes him look a bit like a large meer cat! Rocket is very good with other dogs and plays well with them. He adapts well to change. He loves cuddles and kisses and can sit when asked.

Milo has a sad story. His owner, who loved him and Bella very much, due to medical issues could no longer care for them. Milo is blind and as you can see from the lovely photo of him and Bella, he relies on her to help him out. Both dogs are friendly happy and easy going. They are good with children and other easy going dogs. They are looking for a home they can call their own. Can you help? Their adoption fee ($400) is for both dogs together as a matched set (they are even colour coordinated!)
