Sasha is being rehomed after a move into suburbia where she is constantly in an anxious state due to the noise of the traffic and large, noisy dogs on each side.

Sasha was rescued by her current family from a regional pound after she was allegedly abused by her last owner’s neighbour. As a result she is quite timid initially but has proved through bonding with her current adopter that she is very affectionate and has a good nature once the bond is established and is good with kids (a 4yr old and 6yr old) and is great with the family’s other dog. She doesn’t like loud noises and is wary of strangers and new people but has proven to be a great guard dog and a loyal companion! She doesnt seem too interested in playing ball or things like that but prefers close company and cuddles and playing with the family’s other dog.  Her family is unsure what Sasha would be like with cats, perhaps after being acquainted she may be ok with them. She loves tummy scratches, cuddles, to run and play with the family’s other dog and lying in the sun. Their other dog chews anything in sight but Sasha is very good and has never chewed or destroyed anything that is within reach of her.

Sasha would do well in a quiet suburb with a good sized yard or in a rural environment with doggy companionship.

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!)

Hussie is 11 years old and was bred through Margaret Wyatt.  She spent the first few years of her puppy life with another couple of female blue heelers and a cat.  She was de-sexed at around 18 / 24 months and never mated or bred.  Hussie has had her C5 shots regularly, as well as worming and check ups and has also been microchipped.

She is a great companion and loves the company of her closest pack members.  As with most Blue Heeler bitches, she prefers the company of male dogs – preferably large ones

She’s very playful, loves a walk and naturally the ball is everything.  She’s also been through puppy school and well versed in all the usual commands.  Hussie wins the hearts of all those who she gets to know and loves a cuddle, tummy rub and and a general chat.

If you are wanting to find out more about Hussie or meet her with a view to adoption please complete our adoption questionnaire: http://www.workingdogrescue.com.au/application-forms/apply-to-adopt-from-awdri/

Roo is a fun loving and work focused dog who is very easy to to train but his current family sadly lack the time needed to devote to his training and he is becoming bored and a little mouthy as a result.

He is very good with the two cats in the house and is also very good with the boys aged 5 and 7 so would suit an active family with kids and other dogs or cats.

Jake is a very happy fit dog.  He was the pick of the litter and a pure bred red stumpy tail. He lives for cuddles thats all he wants and a scruff every now and then. He is half deaf but he was born that way unknown to us for a long time, but it does not seem to affect him at all. He is being rehomed as there is now a child in the home that needs the yard for recreation.

Are you interested in adopting Jake. Please fill in the form on our website
