Bella is a happy go lucky dog. She was slightly timid when she came into our care but has gotten really comfortable. Bella gets along with other dogs big or small. Cattle and horses dont worry her at all and she doesnt chase them or poultry. Bella has awsome manners and is extremely obedient. She loves people and is content to sit at your feet. She loves the farm and the beach and would be happy to be with a family with another pet or by herself.
Bella is reserved pending adoption.
Tickles is seeking love, direction and long term commitment. A more affectionate, loyal and loving friend than this pretty lady would be impossible to find. She bonds quickly and strongly with her humans and loves nothing more than to lay at your side and be stroked. She is mostly settled, especially when one on one with you, but she still has bursts of puppy enthusiasm when her fun side emerges (usually after dinner) and loves a game of tug.
While she gets on well with other dogs (happily coexists in foster care with five other dogs without issue), she can be a fraction competitive and possessive of her humans. She is being taught that there is enough love and attention to go around, and there are rewards for good manners and is catching on quickly.
A home with a sensible well behaved doggy friend (possibly male) could work for her (but no substitute for time spent with her owner) but gives the impression she would equally make a devoted companion as an only dog for someone who was around a lot and willing to include her in their lives. Her ideal home would be one in which she was shown calm leadership, direction and consistency. She may currently be a little too exuberant at times for small children.
Being a working breed, Tickles will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive and to prevent her from becoming bored. Some additional training will put the icing on this bright girl and give her the chance to be her best and realise her potential. She may also enjoy a doggy sport such as agility as she is very light on her feet and athletic.
Prior to coming into care, she had no training and had not been provided with any direction or leadership. She is starting to learn a few manners and basic commands and is relishing the opportunity to learn and put her quick mind to use. She is responding well to high grade food rewards and praise as training tools. She seems to be lapping up the opportunities life is now offering her and has no intention of looking back.
On lead, she initially had no idea but is starting to listen and is already improving. Off lead she had no recall to begin with but again is starting to realise there are rewards for returning and while this is still a work in progress, she is taking giant strides. Her toilet training has begun. She was formally an outside only dog but has developed a real affinity for her soft , warm bed and is well behaved inside and is happy to recline on her bed while inside.
Tickles is going to provide some lucky person or family with a best friend for life.
She is in foster care in Bendigo, Victoria.

Handsome, intelligent, obedient, friendly. These words all describe the gorgeous Trail.
Trail is a country boy with stunning colouring and good looks and a personality to match. He was a ranger favourite whilst in the pound and it’s not hard to see why. He is obedient and loves human company. He really does aim to please in all that he does. He also loves being in the company of other dogs. Being a kelpie he has energy to burn and loves nothing more than running around with his new friends.
Trail has come from a rural upbringing and has been taught basic manners. Being a country boy he is learning a few new skills in foster care such as lead manners and toilet training but he’s intelligent and this makes training very easy. Whilst in care he has shown no interest in hurting other animals such as chickens or sheep. He has also been tested for working instinct. Although very keen he doesn’t appear to have had proper herding training but with his high intelligence he has potential.
Trail is a loving and loyal companion who just needs to find his best mate. Hopefully one who has land for him to run around on and explore. Could this be you? If you are interested in adopting or meeting Trail please fill in the form on our website. http://www.workingdogrescue.com.au/application-forms/apply-to-adopt-from-awdri/

Miss Marlie hasn’t been in my care for very long but with each & every day that passes she comes further out of her shell & is really fitting in well with her foster family. Being a pup she does have her mischievous side, but by all means this is in no way a big issue like some pups I’ve had in the past.. Just a bit of chewing but what puppy doesn’t chew. She plays well with older dogs, has had lots of exposure to my toddling & preschool aged children. She is actually quite well behaved with them too – just a few licks with no jumping – and that tail, boy it gets a workout when she greets them. She is very mellow with my cat & i have actually caught them a few times curled up together on the couch or playing together! She has had inside time with me & is quite calm & relaxed, when I am watching tv she will sleep & when I’m up and about she is like a shadow at my heels. We have had one accident inside & that was only because I didn’t see her get up because I was distracted so it was no fault of her own. She has gone most times I take her out onto the grass so she is toilet training well. All in all my opinion is that she is showing a lot of potential to be a clever little dog. She’s already learning basic commands & really is very attentive. She would suit almost anyone who is able to put the time & effort into an intelligent dog, whether it be someone single, a couple, a family. She really is a little ray of sunshine!

Litte Mystique has been the most outgoing of the litter of ‘M’ pups from Hervey Bay. During her time with me I’ve noticed she seems to be the ‘instigator’ when it comes to roughing up her brother & sisters and finding things to chew. She, like her brother and sisters have an extremely loving and kind nataure. During her stay she has been around 6 other dogs and horses which has never caused any issue and I believe she would be a very versatile dog, whether it be just a pet, working dog or anywhere in between. She is good with children but, like any pup, would need to be supervised around young children as she is very playful and may get a bit excitable.
With her beautiful nature I believe she would be an assest to any family, or even single person looking for a new best mate.

Little Mia would be the ‘quietest’ of the ‘M’ litter of pups from Hervey Bay. She is very shy and a bit timid at first but soon warms up with a pat. She, like her brother and sisters has a loving nature and is very kind. She is good with other pups/dogs, has been amongst 6 other dogs and horses during her stay with me and it hasn’t fazed her at all. She isn’t much of a chewer but prefers to sit and watch her sisters do all the work.
We believe she would be more suited to a family who is looking for a loving pet rather than a ‘working dog’. She is good with kids, but like any puppy would need to be supervised with young children and she likes to lick them and will occasionally jump.

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.
