SCOOTER Chinese Crested cross approx 12 months old.

Scooter arrived Saturday the 6th February and what a delightful little man he is, I have never seen a dog his size with such big ears, that is why I have said he is a Chinese Crested, although he has long legs and does have hair which is the cross part, just did not really know what breed to call him.(Fennec Fox maybe)

This little man is such a good car traveller; I did not know he was even in the car, he sleeps through the night, appears to be housetrained as long as he can get outside, will test him soon to see what he is like with cats.

He has a low maintenance coat although he has been clipped right back as he was tad dirty and matted.

I will list him in a couple of days when his personality has emerged, I can say that as he is playful he will need another dog for company, would also be good if he had a couple of older kids to play with.

So if you are not put off by his big ears then give me a call and we can have a chat about him.

Scooter is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and available for $350.

RALPH   8 month old mystery boy

I am 8 months old and I have no idea who my mum or dad are. I somehow got out of my yard and was picked up by this lovely lady in Griffith NSW who looked after me and put up posters around town to see if my family came looking for me.

Sadly, that didn’t happen, so she had to take me to the pound; she cried when she left but the pound told her to ring Maree at Canberra Pooch Rescue to see if she could help and luckily for me she could. So that was the start of my journey to finding my forever home.
 
I arrived in Canberra and have not looked back. All the humans are so nice and give me cuddles, let me snuggle up on the lounge beside them, give me yummy food… what more could a dog want? 


I have a low maintenance coat that will just need the occasional wash.
 
I love all humans, other dogs, and I sleep soundly through the night. I love the car, I am housetrained, all I want in my new home is to be with a family who have a couple of kids so I can play with them and we can grow up together, also another pooch about my size to play with when the humans and kids are at work/school as I don’t want to be on my own all day.
 
It would also be good if I could go to obedience training, as I don’t really know what humans want me to be/do.  I would get to meet other dogs and have a play when training is finished.
 
I don’t want much; just a loving family who will include me in most of the family activities, feed me, let me inside to be with them when they are home, let me sleep inside so I feel part of the family and most of all just love me.
 
If you fit the bill get in touch with my foster mum Maree and have a chat to her and she will tell you what a great little man I am.

EFFIE Chihuahua Cross girl about 12 months


Effie is typical of the breed, a real sooky girl.

Effie came from the Wagga area and the poor thing has not had much interaction with humans, she is a shy girl and comes to you for reassurance that it is ok for her to be with you.

She is a delight, a small dog who is housetrained, she sleeps through the night, she loves the car, she is good with other dogs but it is obvious that she has never learnt to play with toys/other dogs.

Effie would be fine as an only dog but she cannot be left alone all day on her own, if this is the case she will need a little buddy to keep her company, hopefully she will be taught how to play.  Chihuahuas are not for very young children, over 8 years old is about the age that Chi’s love kids as they can grow up together.
 
Small dogs live well into their teenage years, ie 16 years is about the average for small dogs as long as they are fed a good diet and have regular health checks and regular exercise.

Effie is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and available for $350.

MINDY Scruffy JRT cross girl approx 4 years old,


Mindy is a sweet girl who just loves all people, her tail never stops wagging once she sees you walk through the door, a delight to have in my home.
 
Mindy is housetrained, she sleeps through the night, loves a walk, I have not heard her bark since she arrived, which is a bonus.
 
Mindy would be fine as an only dog but she cannot be left on her own all day as she would not be a happy girl, her ideal home would be as a companion to a semi/retired person/persons who are home most of the time and could give her the time and love that she deserves, she needs to belong to her family, she needs to be able to go to places, where dogs are permitted, with her family, she needs to sleep inside especially in winter.
 
Not much to ask for just the basics that all pooches require to make them happy family members for life.


Mindy is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and heartworm tested and available for $350.

TINY  foxie cross girl approx 12 months old 

Tiny is a typical foxie who loves nothing better that being part of a family, she loves people/other dogs/loves to play/explore all of the good things that young dogs love to do.

There is no end to this girl's enthusiasm and she would make a perfect companion to those who love the outdoors, she travels well in a car so can go anywhere with you. On the other hand, she would do equally well just having some time at home with you and a little play in the yard. Either way, Tiny would be fine anywhere where she could get plenty of love, a warm bed and a full tummy.

Foxies bond very quickly to their humans and they just love kids as they seem to be able to keep up with their energy levels and Tiny is no exception, she would be a great companion for the resident dog (hopefully the same size as her she is approx 4 kilos) Tiny cannot be left on her own all day, as dogs left alone all day become very unhappy.

Tiny sleeps all night and she is housetrained as long as she has access to outside. If you are looking for a companion for your other dog that will play and keep them companion maybe Tiny is the girl for you as long a you have a secure yard and adequate shelter, can walk her a couple of times a week, allow her to sleep inside, have access to inside/outside during the day then maybe you can give me a ring and we can go from there.

Tiny is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and heartworm tested negative and available for $350.

BELLA is a Maltese cross approx 5-6 years old



What a delightful little girl Bella is, she loves humans as I suspect she has been neglected not only emotionally but also physically as her coat was so matted the hair on her 2 back legs had fused together so she had difficulty walking, once clipped all over she is a much happier girl.
 
Bella is an engaging little dog with a tail that is always wagging.  She is a happy, confident and affectionate girl that loves everyone, but is totally devoted and loyal to her special humans. Bella is a real smoocher and loves cuddles.

Bella likes going for walks, is very keen to please, she is great in the car and just goes to sleep, she is house trained, is happy to sleep on her own as long as she has a cosy bed inside.  Bella gets along with other dogs, she is fine with cats but she just loves people, as she is an older dog she does not have any of the annoying puppy habits.
 
Bella needs another dog for company, as she would not cope on her own all day, she would also suit an older retired couple who are looking for one dog for company, take for walks and just basically love and care for and be one of the family.
 
Bella is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and heartworm tested negative and available for $350.

LUCY  Jack Russell  X Female about 2 years old

I am not a fan of JRT's but have had a few over time and am warming to them and this girl is exceptional, a sweet girl who just really loves people and other dogs, she may just convince me that they are great little dogs.

Lucy is an engaging girl who's tail is always wagging, she is a happy, confident and affectionate girl who loves everyone and is totally devoted and loyal to her special humans. Lucy is a real smoocher and loves cuddles and pats.

Lucy is sugar and spice and all things nice, add to that:

A big helping of sweetness
An overflowing cup of love
An ability to please
A placid nature
A great love of people
An amazing zest for life

Lucy loves walks and playing with the other dogs in the family, she is very keen to please and will happily try new things, she loves car rides and travels well, she is house trained, sleeps through the night without a sound.

Lucy's ideal home would be as the second dog approx her size although she is approx 5-6 kilos, she would not cope as an only dog, she would love a couple of kids approx over 8 years of age (this is negotiable depending on the child's level of respect for animals)


Lucy is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and available for $350.

Tilly
TILLY is a foxie cross girl approx 12 months old.


Tilly has just arrived into foster care Saturday the 6th February so don't have much to list on her personality but can say that she is a sweet girl, great in the car, she apears to be housetrained, gets along with the other dogs in the home, BUT just wants to be your friend, she loves humans.

Tilly would be fine as an only dog BUT she cannot be on her own all day so if there is a semi/retired person/persons who will love and look after Tilly she would be your friend for life, she certainly deserves it.

Tilly is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and available for $350.

SALLY Female crossbreed about 5 years old



Sally was picked up at Kambah Pool here in Canberra in an appalling state with her coat so badly matted and full of wire wrapped around her back legs, it is surpising that she could walk, but after she made it to the pound she was sent to the groomers to have a complete makeover, and what a different girl she is now.

Sally is a delightful little thing approx 4 kilos but so full of life and a real charmer.

Sally is housetrained, she sleeps through the night, loves to go for walks, is good in the car, just an all round great little dog.

According to my vet Sally was most probably hit by a car and had reconstruction surgery on her nose whilst with her previous family, to be honest I don’t see her funny nose anymore because her personality is the most important trait with this little muffin.

She is a very affectionate little girl who will make a great companion for a semi/retired person/s who are relatively active as Sally is a young dog who needs exercise and stimulation, she would be fine as an only dog but she cannot be left on her own for 8-9 hours daily all week.

Sally is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and heartworm tested negative and available for $350.

SHELLIE    Shih Tzu X female about 4 to 5 years old


SPECIAL NEEDS POOCH
 
Shellie is a special needs girl who needs a special home.  Shellie came into care a very stressed girl and she was allowed (in her previous home) to develop the habit of chasing her tail, this became a very serious issue and poor Shellie damaged her tail so badly that it had to be amputated.
 
She came through the operation well and she now doesn’t chase her tail and her stress levels have almost disappeared.
 
Shellie needs a calm home, she is a delightful little girl who will thrive in the right home.  She loves her walks, loves people, is good with cats (non running kind) she is housetrained, sleeps through the night, loves the car.
 
Shellie would be fine as an only dog and would be great in a home that is quiet and her new mum and dad have some idea of what her needs are.
 
It is hard to find the right home for dogs like Shellie but there are people out there who open their arms, their hearts and their home to “special needs pooches” like Shellie.
 
Shellie is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and heartworm tested negative and available for $350.

MURPHY 2 year old Foxie cross  male

Murphy has just arrived in to foster care, this poor mite needs a really good feed as he is very thin but with the right food he will put on weight very quickly.
 
Murphy is a great little dog who is learning that not all people are monsters, he is slowly coming around and beginning to trust people, he is a real sweetheart.
 
Murphy loves the car, he is housetrained, he is learning that the lead can take him to many places for him to explore and sniff and do doggie things to.
 
Murphy would benefit from obedience training and socialization classes, he is great with other dogs, he was fine with a couple of greyhounds before coming into care, he would thrive in a home with older children and another dog his size as he loves to play.  Murphy cannot be an only dog as he would not cope being on his own all day.
 
If you are looking for a great little dog who is affectionate and loves a cuddle then please ring me and we can have a chat.
 

Murphy is desexed, C5 vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and heartworm tested negative and available for $350.
