Angus – 2 year old – male blue ACD – Elmhurst, Vic *On trial adoption*

Update 26/01: Angus has commenced his 2 week adoption trial with his hopefully forever family.

Angus is a divine boy, friendly, affectionate and obedient and he loves people and playing with other dogs. He does currently take exception to dominant, undesexed dogs but having only recently been desexed himself this may settle over time and with further socialisation. He spends most of his time outside but has been in the house without any accidents and does not mark anywhere inside.

He loves chasing his bucket or ball and is very interested in the sheep in the paddock next door but has not been tested on them nor with cats or children so these aspects of his temperament are not currently known.

If you are interested in Angus he is in foster care in Elmhurst, Vic presently but you can apply to adopt him by completing our online questionnaire.

His adoption fee of $300 covers his microchip, vaccination, heartworm test, worming and desexing.

Update 19/01: Java has commenced his 2 week trial with his adoptive family.

Update 7/1/12: This pup now named Java is in foster care in Melbourne and is a pretty spunky and very cool dude. We suspect he is mixed with a large breed dog like a Dane or something similar.

On this day the 20th December 2011 I found this pup to be a very outgoing exuberant very friendly fellow who just loves to play with toys, dogs or humans. Very puppy like behaviour
There was no sense of any aggression whatsoever There were no indications of dominance and is not dominant at all.

Trixie – approx 3-4 yrs – Female ACDx – Sydney, NSW *On Trial Adoption*

ON PTS list 29/12

VOLUNTEER NOTES | What a delightful character we have on our hands!! Very polite but shy upon entering her kennel, she does duck her head a little when you go and put the lead on her. Take her outside (as fast as her little legs will carry her!) and she turns into one of the most happy and springboxy little chickens going! She is good to walk on lead, knows how to sit on command and doesn’t bark. But she loves her treats and her head / ear scratches! She was happy to bounce all over the place, showing me her happiness at being outside – there is plenty of life left in this girl! She also showed no issues whatsoever with any other dog – happy to say hello if they were, ignored those that weren’t. For all that she seems to err more on the side of being independent… so a quiet playmate would be nice, but if you want to make her your one and only she’d love that to. Size wise think english staffy. In very good condition and very worthy of your consideration. (AK 26/12)

Update 4/1: Trixie is in temp care in Sydney pending transport to Brisbane once her vetting is done but is available to adopt if you would like to complete our adoption questionnaire.

By admin Posted in Adopted, AWDRI Dogs, Queensland (QLD) /

 

‘Tilly’ is a 5 month old Blue Cattle Dog X with a big personality! She is an absolute sweetie and in the short time that she has been in foster care she has really come out of her shell and proven to be a wonderful little dog. She is sharing her foster home with cats, older dogs, horses and a 15 month old toddler and is taking it all in her stride. She is very loyal already and is never far behind you! She loves kids, and will spend all day chasing a ball. She loves the water and swimming. True to her breed, she is a very intelligent pup and sits, drops and comes when she’s called. It won’t take much for this girl to be the best trained dog on the block! She is microchipped, and will be desexed and vaccinated next month. Tilly is currently located in Hervey Bay, QLD

. She is due to start her Basic Dog Obedience Training at the start of November, and if she is adopted locally before then, her foster family will honour this training. Tilley is currently located in Hervey Bay, QLD
