GUS (
Border Collie x Labrador) Male 11 years old
Gus
has just come into foster care and is very pleased to be out of the
pound. He met my 6 dog pack without any problems and is now enjoying
pottering around the large yard. Gus settled in really
quickly and within a couple of hours had found the dog pool
and
had a dip, and is giving me big smiles and tail wags.
Gus is
more Labrador than Border Collie - size of a Lab with some white
markings. Poor old Gus was reluctantly handed in for rehoming after his
people moved into town from the country.
Gus is a
dignified older gent - he may be passed his prime but has many good
years left. Gus has been checked by the vet and apart from a couple of
lipomas on his belly he is in excellent health with good teeth. Lipomas
are fatty, benign tumours that often affect older dogs, particularly
Labradors. We are having a biopsy performed to check and will update
when results are available.
Gus has a wonderful temperament, and
loves people and children. He loves belly scratches but his great joy
is playing with balls and squeaky toys - he will fetch them but not
bring them back although gives them back nicely when asked!
Gus
gets on very well with other dogs (he came from a 3 dog household), has
basic obedience, comes when called and can sit, drop and shake hands.
Gus is house trained and used to sleep in the laundry. He rides nicely
in the car too.
Gus is a truly lovely gentleman who still has
quite a spark in him! He is looking for someone special to love him for
the rest of his life.
More information will be available as Gus settles into his
foster home.
Gus is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and on heartworm
prevention.

BRUNO (Crossbreed,
male, 18 to 24 months)
A very special home required for a very special boy
A bloke’s best mate:
Bruno
is a very special boy who is looking for a very special home.
It
was evident early on to his carers when they first brought Bruno into
their home that people have been less than kind to him. He
was
scared of pats, the lead and just about anything else he thought people
might do to him. In his early foster care time, he was also the
recipient of regular teasing, threatening gestures and hurled items in
his own yard by passersby until his carers caught the culprits out.
However,
with love and trust, Bruno is enjoying life with his carers and is now
the first to wine at the door for his walk or rub up against your legs
for a pat and cuddle. While his carers adore this special
boy, he
is craving his own forever home where he can devote himself to his
special person/people. Given his rough start, Bruno is
looking
for a stable, loving, low throughput household with either single
person or couple. He responds well to men and really would,
in
time, be a blokes best mate. His new home should be committed
to
continuing his training and attending to his special needs.
Given
his previous mistreatment, Bruno is unlikely to fall
instantly in
love with you, but earn his trust with a little time and patience and
you will have an utterly devoted companion for life. In
return
for giving him a loving home, Bruno will reward you as a loyal and
affectionate companion who will always be ready to great you day or
night whatever the time, an easy on lead walking or jogging companion,
an intruder detector and security system, a cat deterrent and a smoochy
couch companion.
Bruno may suit a potential range of
homes, including a person/couple out on a property looking for a
companion to spend their days on the farm with or look after the family
home, a tradesperson who may want a buddy to come with them on jobs
during the day and look after their tools, a companion for someone in
security doing nightly patrols, a young couple or person looking to
have a dog to bond with that will look after their home while they are
away at work, or a retired person/couple craving constant doggy
companionship.
Bruno is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped,
wormed and heartworm free for a negotiable adoption fee of $150 for the
right home.
Please contact Andrea if you would like to know more about this special
boy.

MIA
(Crossbreed,
female, 5 months)
Mia and her brother Moe (seen below) are two adorable pups taken into
foster care after being
dumped at the pound. Despite their cold hard start to life
(click here to read about their
brush with death), you couldn't find a sweeter and softer pair of pups
around.
Both Mia and her brother play well with dogs of all shapes and sizes,
happily share food and a
bed with anyone who cares to join them. Mia is the more
outgoing of the two, with loads
of
spunk and personality to boot. She will eagerly get involved
in any game going. Both Mia and
Moe adore people and will happily follow their carers around whatever
they are doing, enjoying
a pat, cuddle, game and snooze on the couch with
them.
Both pups are learning to walk on lead and offlead with recall, have
mealtime manners, can sit
on command and will come when
called.
They are both crate trained and settle quickly at night until the next
morning. They enjoy
both time outside with their doggy companions and time inside at night
with their people. They
show no interest in our cats and actually prefer to steer clear of
those hissing creatures!
Being young pups, Mia and Moe are both looking for homes that will
continue their training and
socialisation and provide them with regular exercise. They
would also both love a home with
another doggy
companion.
Mia is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, heartworm free
and available for $300.
