Male Shih Tzu X Maltese

Aged approx. 2 years

Carmello is a lovely little boy that is sweet and easy going and gets on well with other dogs. Carmello has a low shedding soft coat that will require regular professional grooming to stay in peak condition. He is walking well
on lead and is quite the affectionate little man in his foster home. Carmello is house trained and used to sleeping on the bed so a home where he has full indoor access at all times and outside via a doggy door is a must. Carmello is young and quite active, enjoys playing fetch with the tennis ball and tug-o-war with his doggy foster buddies. His carer says he's a good little watch dog and lets her know when she has guests! Carmello will require a home where regular exercise can be provided and where he would ideally have the company of another young playful doggy companion.

Male Shih Tzu X

This sweet little monkey has been sadly neglected over the years and is only just starting to learn what real affection is. Mitchell was recently surrendered by a family that have kept him in the back yard without any company, walks or social interaction for his whole life and the first chance this little man got to have a cuddle he took it! Mitchell has been almost starved of affection so his first week or two in foster care were all about building trust. He was tense when touched and quite 'unfriendly' as you would expect, but always cautiously came back for more cuddles and pats. Mitchell is simply beautiful and loves affection now so will cuddle and smooch with his foster carer all day. However he would not be suitable for a home where there are young children and needs a patient and understanding owner who is experienced with rescue dogs. Surprisingly, given his isolated life, Mitchell adores other dogs and has begun playing with his doggy foster buddies. He is completely mild mannered and doesn't bat an eyelid when they crawl all over him. Mitchell is quite house trained with a low shedding coat that will require regular grooming. He loves walking and playing but has been alone too long so a home with another playful small dog is a must! Mitchell's foster carer loves this little guy very much even though he hasn't been with her long. He is just a beautiful, beautiful little boy!


Mitchell comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400 and is not available for adoption outside NSW. He has also had a recent dental (teeth cleaned under anaesthetic).

Male Terrier X

Zach is adorable, sweet and gentle and a small boy with long legs!  He is very calm, loves giving kisses and is happy to sit and cuddle with older kids. Zach also loves to jump up on his carer's bed in the morning for snuggles and is quite the little shadow as she goes about her day. Zach gets along well with other dogs and, whilst he may not necessarily need the company of another doggy companion, if he is to be in a single dog household Zach would require a home where he is not left for long periods or ideally one where his owner works from home. Zach is quite an energetic boy and loves to get out for a good daily walk and play. He is not a barker, loves his food, is very obedient and is learning basic commands well.  Zach has a low shedding coat that will require regular grooming.

Male Silky Terrier X

URGENT HOME OR FOSTER CARER NEEDED

This little man is an absolute sweetheart! Leonardo is very easy going around people and other dogs and is a true gentleman, although not really keen on cats. He is quite high energy for his age and loves to play fetch and go for a walk. Leonardo can run and jump when the mood takes him as well. He is fine being left alone, but does really enjoy his human company and would ideally like a home where someone is home, works part time or where he has another doggy for company. Leonardo has a lovely soft, low shedding coat that will require regular brushing.


Leonardo comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on heartworm prevention for the special adoption fee of $200 and is not available for adoption outside NSW.

Male Purebred French Bulldog

Pablo is clearly one handsome devil! He was surrendered to the Pound when his owner no longer had the time for him and luckily a PAWS foster carer was there at the right time and took Pablo home so that he didn't have to spend anytime in the Pound at all. Pablo is cheeky and lots of fun but needs a very special home where his new family will be able to follow through with his training, as well as show him patience, love and understanding. Pablo came into care with a nasty infection in his facial folds and ears so somebody who has had experience with the breed would be great as regular cleaning of these areas is a must! Just like Pugs, French Bulldogs are brachycephalic breeds and may have various genetic health issues so regular visits to the vet will also be necessary. Pablo's new home should be with someone who has another French Bulldog or who is familiar with the breed. He is currently living with two female Pugs and they all get along well but his foster carer is also socializing him with other dogs when he is out and about on the street or in the local dog park. Pablo is quite a dominant dog and we believe a home with one other dog who is as big in both weight, size and strength will be the best for him and WE WILL NOT REHOME PABLO AS AN ONLY DOG! Although Pablo looks small he has a strong and muscular body and can be a little rough for small dogs and small children therefore a home with teenagers is probably more appropriate for him. Pablo is an inside dog that is completely house trained and he must always have access to indoors. He has a short  coat that requires the occasional brush to minimise shedding.


UPDATE 15 MAY: Since being in care Pablo has shown some not so desirable traits so advice was sought from a dog behaviourist specialist' to determine the best type of training for Pablo and to help his foster carer put him on the right path. Since working with Nathan the behaviouralist Pablo has certainly changed his tune and is improving, however he will need continued training to ensure he does not revert back to his old ways. Pablo is dominant and needs a very strict routine as well as a confident owner who will guide Pablo and not let Pablo guide them. Experience with bull breeds is a plus, as well as a home with another strong dog for company.

Pablo comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $500 and is not available for adoption outside NSW. If you would like more information on Pablo or to arrange to meet him, please phone Denise on 0466 690916 (between 8am and 7pm only) or email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading.

Male Purebred Shih Tzu

Squirrel’s story is a very sad one! Squirrel had somehow managed to escape from his home and was walking along the road when a car came round the bend and poor Squirrel went under the wheels. The driver then sped off leaving him laying on the road injured. A very kind passer-by picked him up and took him to the closest vet surgery in the hope that any injuries he had would be attended to at once. Squirrel was very sore in the back and his eye was injured but the vet gave Squirrel the once over and after a day or so just sent him off to the local Pound. Squirrel was not in a good way and PAWS was asked to take him from the Pound under duty of care as soon as possible. Squirrel was taken at once to the rescue vet who diagnosed a deep laceration right across the cornea of his eye. Squirrel was in agony and his eye had become infected but the vet believes that if Squirrel’s eye had been treated immediately he would be in a better position now. Squirrel has been in foster care for about two weeks getting all of the attention in the world. The vet consulted with an ophthalmologist on the best treatment plan possible to try and save his eye and he has had every ointment and antibiotic administered but sadly the infection was too deep and Squirrel had his eye removed on Monday 8 April. Squirrel’s owner did not come forward to claim him so we now have the pleasure of finding him a new home once he has recovered from his surgery. Squirrel has a lovely personality and, despite all that he has been through, still manages to look on the bright side of life. We will update you on Squirrel's progress soon and his wonderful foster carer will also update his photo and story when he is ready to go to his new home.

Ella and Davie are a very sweet couple that are extremely fond of each other and happily rumble around playing together then use each other as pillows in their doggy bed when ready for a nap. They get on well with the cats and other dogs in their foster home but will chase the cats if they run as everything is a game to them. However they are very responsive to correction and will be easy to train with food reward and positive reinforcement. Ella is a little timid but gains confidence from Davie who is very outgoing and the more affectionate of the two. They walk well on the lead and enjoy their outings to the park but also love having a cuddle or to sit with you on the couch while you watch TV. They also enjoy 'collecting' your socks, shoes etc. and if anything is missing then check their basket first (although they do not chew anything they gather up!). Ella and Davie are slightly on the small side for Shih Tzus weighing only 4.0 and 3.5kg respectively. They both enjoy their food and sleep all night long without a sound until they hear you rise then are ready to greet you joyously. Ella and Davie are indoor dogs that learnt to use the open doggy door very quickly and they appear to be house trained. Both have coats that will grow long and require regular grooming.
