CHIQUITA

Female Chihuahua X (?)

Aged approx. 18 months

Small size
 

Chiquita is a little sweetie pie, happy and loving, always interested in coming up for a cuddle and a warm lap while you watch TV. She is a Chihuahua with something else added, which means she has all the spunk of a Chihuahua but without the breathing issues of the short nose. This spunky girl will bark at passing dogs or through the fence but stops when you asked then comes to tell you all about it. Chiquita loves her food which includes small raw bones or dog biscuits and doesn't dig or chew the furniture. She sits for treats, comes when called and is completely housetrained. Chiquita sleeps soundly on her dog bed all night but would sleep on your bed if you let her! She likes playing with toys or having a gentle tug of war and sometimes just races round the yard just for the pure joy of it. Chiquita is a real lady with a touch of class, and loves going for walks and, if you walk past the front door or rattle your house key, she is there with you looking hopeful. She sits in front of you asking to have her lead attached, then later will sit for you to remove it. Chiquita struts along, showing off to her admirers and inspecting all the interesting smells on the way. She has a low maintenance, gorgeous, shiny red coat and loves for you to brush her to keep her looking marvellous. Chiquita is a house dog who must always have indoor access via a doggy door or similar but she is not for the faint hearted either as she runs like the wind and will slip past you at the front door if you are not careful! She also needs a home where there is another small male dog for company.

COPPER

Male Silky Terrier X

Aged approx. 8 years

Small size
 

Copper is a Golden Oldie with a golden personality and a heart to match. How could his owners have left this gem of a dog at the Pound? Copper is in foster care with another small male dog and the two of them spend their days together basking in the sun or tucked up on the couch if the weather is dreary. Copper has a gorgeous copper coloured coat which is fairly low maintenance and just needs a bath, tidy up and a weekly brush to keep it looking lovely. Copper is house trained and loves to go to the local dog park for a sniff and chat to the other dogs there as he is a very sociable little fellow. The best home for Copper will be with a quiet family who are not looking for an extremely active dog however he does enjoy a short daily walk. Copper loves adults and is fine with the chooks in the family, ignoring them completely. Young children can be daunting for Copper so a home without them would suit him just fine. Copper wouldn't mind the company of another small dog although it is not absolutely necessary if his owners are not out at work everyday.

PEDRO

Male Tibetan Spaniel X

Aged approx. 6 months

Small size (when fully grown)

Pedro is a gem who had a rough start as he was found in a box in a park along with his mother and brother Pablo.  Pedro was very frightened in the beginning  however he has quickly adjusted to civilisation and it's benefits. Pedro loves his warm bed and doggy coat and has discovered the joy of a generous lap and what good food tastes like. He may have never been for a walk but got the idea very quickly and is learning how to walk nicely to heel. Pedro's house training is progressing very well. He doesn't dig or chew and sleeps quietly in his bed curled up with the other dogs. His coat is gloriously white and silky and will need a weekly wash and brush but is
not the high maintenance coat of the Maltese breed. Pedro is a quiet, gentle soul but likes to play with his doggy mates, rolling and wrestling on the floor with them and his favourite toy is a ball that he will fetch for hours. He is still scared of loud noises or strange sights but the other dogs seem to reassure him. For a puppy, he is doing very well and will suit a young family with lots of patience and who will take him to dog training and for walks and outings to learn to be a good doggy citizen. Pedro would benefit from having a steady doggy companion who will continue to show him the ropes.



Pedro comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400. If you would like more information on Pedro or to arrange to meet him, please phone Denise on 0405 244871 or email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check Denise's rescued dogs in foster care on www.paws.com.au for any updated photos and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption.

COLLIN

Male Schnauzer X

Aged approx. 7 years

Small size

 

Collin's foster carer has nothing negative to say about this stunning boy. She thinks Collin is the perfect dog and, when he came from the Pound, his matted coat was clipped off while he was under anaesthetic for desexing and a dental. He looked like a totally different dog once that was done and we hardly recognised him.    Collin is house trained, loves to go walking with his foster carer and enjoys every morsel he is given. He has impeccable manners and just sits and waits for his dinner to arrive. He loves all the dogs that he meets when on his walk and wags his tail wanting to interact with them. Collin would like a home with a retired couple who are looking for a quiet boy who just sleeps when his carer goes out. He would also suit a family with some older children who would like a sweet dog to take care of.  Collin is a house dog and must have access to the house via a doggy door or similar. His coat will grow and then require regular grooming and clipping to keep him looking lovely.

PABLO

Male Tibetan Spaniel X

Aged approx. 6 months

Small size (when fully grown)

 

Pablo is a very well behaved little fellow who does love to climb all over you and lick your face if given the chance though! Pablo is a very thoughtful puppy, bringing in sticks and pieces of wood as gifts to his foster carers. He is in foster care with two other small dogs and does love to tag along with the younger dog belonging to his foster carer and they play lots of puppy games together. Pablo's house training is coming along well and his lead training is also going great guns. He eats well and loves all of the food that is dished up to him. Pablo would love a new home with a family who have another small dog for him to romp around with. He is a house dog with a gorgeous white/cream coat that is fairly low maintenance and just requires a bath, brush and the occasional trim to keep him looking lovely.  Pablo is a house dog and must have access to the house via a doggy door or similar.

Pablo comes desexed, microchipped, FULLY vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400.

DAN

Male Poodle X Maltese

Aged approx. 5 years

Small size


Dan is a gorgeous, happy and energetic boy who loves his daily walks, even just a walk around the block to stretch his legs makes him happy as Dan lives in an apartment.  Dan is an easy going boy who is happy to entertain himself with his toys or to play fetch with anyone who is up for a game. He is house trained and responds well to discipline and likes to curl up and watch TV with you in the evenings. Overall Dan is a quiet dog who only barks when there is someone at the door.  When someone new comes to the house Dan can become a little shy and protective of his foster parents but after a few minutes getting to know the person he is back to his usual happy self. Dan is very cuddly and is most happy just being in the company of humans. He is very much loved by his foster mum but she presently lives in an apartment which is not the best environment for a dog like Dan. Dan has a gorgeous Poodle coat which will require regular grooming and brushing to keep him in good condition.

SAMMY

Male Purebred Maltese

Aged approx. 8 years

Small size

 

Sammy is a lovely little dog who has absolutely attached himself to the teenage boy in his foster home and is happiest when he is with him. He does not mind fellow doggy company, but is not one to join in with doggy playtime and is definitely most happy with his human partner.  Sammy has a fairly independent nature and would cope well as an only dog provided he does not have to spend long hours without human company.  He has a strong personality and is best suited to a ‘dog savvy’ household who are able to provide him with love and affection as well as consistent boundaries. Sammy is a house dog with a non-shedding coat that will grow quite long and will then require regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling fabulous.

Sammy comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on heartworm prevention for the special adoption fee of $200. He has also had a recent dental (teeth cleaned under anaesthetic). If you would like more information on Sammy or to arrange to meet him, please phone Denise on 0405 244871 or email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check Denise's rescued dogs in foster care on www.paws.com.au for any updated photos and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption.

CHIP

Male Shih Tzu X

Aged approx. 5 years

Small size

 

Chip is a friendly little boy who is in foster care with another little male Shih Tzu who he just adores.  Chip was rescued from the Pound where he was an unclaimed stray and how his life has changed!  He is now enjoying the comforts of a warm bed at night and a loving family around him who are helping him to grow in confidence more each day and become a happy boy. Chip eats his food well and loves his tummy being tickled. He is not a biter, licker, digger or scratcher, he settles well at night and is house trained. He is such a good boy! Chip is a house dog with a high maintenance coat that requires regular grooming and clipping. He is best suited to a home with another desexed dog of similar size and age to be his companion.

Chip comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400. He has also had a recent dental (teeth cleaned under anaesthetic).

GRAEME

Male Terrier X Puppy

Aged approx. 4 months

Small size (when fully grown)


Graeme came into the Pound at a very young age and it's hard to imagine why a lovely puppy like this would have found himself in such a terrible situation.  Graeme is in foster care with a young family who have three children and he is great with them, joining in their play whenever they invite him. Graeme loves to spend outdoor time with his foster family, running and playing 'chasie' on the grass with the other dogs and children. His favourite trick is to flop down on the ground spreading himself flat out on his belly looking for some toes to lick ... delicious he says!  Graeme is always up for a cuddle with the children. joining them on the couch at any opportunity. He is not a fussy eater and gets along well with the resident dogs, one of whom is his brother Garry.  We would ideally love to rehome Graeme and Garry together however, if the family already have another small dog, Graeme would soon adjust to that.  Graeme has a lovely soft and silky coat that will require regular grooming and clipping and he is a house dog that sleeps all night long.

TESSIE

Female Shaggy Dog X

Aged approx. 9 years

Medium size
 

Tessie is a very affectionate, loyal and well trained girl. She's living in foster care with small dogs and is great with them but would also be happy as an only dog. Tessie is housetrained, walks well on the lead, is great in the car, will bark to alert you to something not quite right and will keep the birds away from your veggie patch! She's got so much personality and nine is really not that old for a dog. Tessie has plenty of life in her but will happily go to bed when asked and relax nearby whilst you watch TV. She came from a house with children so is used to kids but she's not keen on cats. Tessie is looking for a home where she'll be treasured and cared for and she'll repay you a thousand fold. At her first home she was just left in the backyard for many years and then her owner was planning on shooting her! This wonderful dog was truly blessed to find her rescuer and deserves only the best home now.

Tessie comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on heartworm prevention for the special adoption fee of $200.

BAILIE

Male Purebred Cocker Spaniel

Aged approx. 4 years

Medium size

Bailie was surrendered to the Pound because his owners decided that after having him all of his life they no longer had any time for him!  Bailie is now in foster care with another ex-PAWS dog Pedro and is enjoying the company. He would love a home with a family who know and love the Cocker Spaniel breed and is a stunning  dog who yearns for human company and will do anything for his human(s). Bailie loves going out on walks with his foster carer and sleeps soundly beside her bed in his basket all night long. His ideal home will be with a family who do not go out to work and leave him alone all day and another female dog similar in size with a gentle temperament would suit Bailie the best. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is on medication daily for this condition but has not had any seizures since being in foster care so we believe that his medication is keeping his epilepsy under control. Epilepsy medication is not expensive and amounts to about $20 per month. Bailie will need regular walks as he is an active dog and he has a lovely, shiny black coat that will require regular brushing and grooming to keep him looking and feeling great. Bailie is a house dog and must have access to the house at all times.

THANK YOU TO ANNETTE CHRISTIE AND ROSEMARY CANNING FOR THEIR KIND DONATIONS TO HELP BAILIE !!

WILSON

Male Purebred Papillon

Aged approx. 2 years

Wilson is a little dog with a big personality .... he may look just like a cuddly toy but he is all dog!  Wilson was rescued from the Pound and is now in foster care with several other small dogs and has adjusted well, learning all about house training and how to be a well behaved, indoors boy.  Wilson is not suited to a family with young children and is best suited to a home with people who are experienced dog owners and have plenty of time to spend with him. Wilson will only be rehomed as a house dog and his pretty coat requires regular grooming to keep him looking good and free from knots.

PERRO

Male Maltese X

Aged approx. 8  years

Small size

Sadly Perro was surrendered to the Pound by his previous owner. He is a lovely little boy who is absolutely full of life and if we didn't know his real age you could mistake Perro for a puppy as he loves to play games with his foster carer, bringing her the ball so that he can play a game of 'fetch'.  Perro loves a roll in the grass and lying in the sun but his favourite thing is his twice daily walk with his carer. His ears prick up when asked if he would like to go for a walk and there is plenty of life left in this boy.  Perro is equally content to snuggle on your lap to have a cuddle and a pat and will jump into bed with you if you give him the chance.  He is fully house trained, comes to his name and knows the commands 'come', 'down', 'out', 'up', 'sit' and 'shake'.  Perro would love a home with another small dog for company or a retired couple who have all the time in the world for this little dog. His coat was extremely matted when he arrived into our care but he has now been clipped off and when his coat regrows it will require regular grooming and clipping.  Perro is a house dog and must have indoor access via a doggy door or similar.

She enjoys sleeping on the bed at night and sitting close by when it is TV time. Jasmine would love a home with another playful, desexed dog of similar size and age, especially if her new family are busy working people. Jasmine’s coat has recently been clipped very short but as it grows she will require regular grooming and clipping to keep her knot free and comfortable.

JASPER

Male Australian Terrier X Dachshund

Aged approx. 3 years

Small size
 

Jasper is a pint sized bundle of happiness and everyone who meets him says "What a happy dog!". He loves his food (especially chicken necks) and is house trained. He also likes to be outside as much as inside. Jasper co-exists happily and peacefully with a cat, a Maltese and a Border Collie. He is happy to meet other dogs and play, whether they be extremely big or small and loves to run!!! Jasper's favourite game that he adores to the exclusion of anything else is chasing and fetching balls and can even do this in a "one-ball" situation with another dog that he has just met. If you like to play cricket he is the dog for you - just bowl and bat whilst he fetches the ball for you. Friendly and outgoing, Jasper is happy to meet and greet with a child, adult, male or female or dog. He will follow you around devotedly and likes to be spoken to. Jasper comes when called eagerly and enthusiastically - unless he is fetching a ball and is a true, devoted companion.

SCHMUTZ

Male Terrier X

Aged approx. 3 years

Small size

Schmutz is a cute little man who aims to please. He is super sociable, loves people and is very inquisitive and, if he could, Schmutz would randomly door knock the neighbourhood for a chat and a bone. His beautiful brown eyes will melt your heart and you'll soon find yourself going out of your way to give him a much appreciated belly rub or rumble. Schmutz walks well on the lead and is obsessed with rustling in bushes and tall grass whenever he can ... he also likes to chase flies! Schmut sleeps all night without a peep, is house trained and is OK to be left alone for short periods while you do the shopping or pop out for a meeting.  Schmutz had to be completely clipped after leaving the Pound butgoing by his current texture, he will be a gorgeous, soft and silky fluff ball in no time. This boy appreciates that he has been rescued and his gratitude is reflected in how quickly he has bestowed love and loyalty.  Schmutz is a house dog and will have a coat that will grow and then require regular grooming.

Gracie is a little angel with the sweetest, happiest face and is the friendliest little dog you could meet. She has a lovely nature and gets along with absolutely everyone.

TEQUILA

Female Pomeranian X

Aged approx. 12 months

Small size
 

Tequila is a gorgeous, sweet and affectionate little dog who loves to travel in the car, is very energetic, enjoys a game of anything you have in mind for her and absolutely loves a walk.  Tequila was timid when she first arrived from the Pound but as each day passes she becomes more confident and is really enjoying her new life with her foster family. Tequila is in foster care as an only dog and seems to enjoy all of the 'one on one' attention so a home with a family who are looking for a companion dog would suit her down to the ground. Tequila is a house dog that is house trained and would like access to her new home via a doggy door or similar.  Tequila has a gorgeous, soft, sable coat that will require regular brushing and grooming to keep her looking swish. 

UPDATE 8 JANUARY:  In her previous foster home, Tequila was an 'only dog' and, although she was going OK, it was decided that she be moved to a new family with other pets. It proved to be the best decision and she is now in a home with two other dogs, a cat and two kids and loving it. Tequila is a confident, bubbly little girl who is a delight to have around. Her favourite pastimes include chasing the ball, playing with her doggy friends, afternoon naps and cuddles. She is great with the cat and they are firm friends. Tequila is good with kids, doesn't bark unnecessarily and does not dig (loves her food too) She would suit a range of families including retirees, single folks and those with children but another dog for companionship is essential.

TIMMY

Male Maltese X Silky Terrier

Aged approx. 15 months

Small size

Timmy came into foster care a very anxious and timid little dog so who knows what has happened to him in his previous life. Timmy's past is behind him and from now on his life will be full of love and good times instead of anxiety and neglect. Timmy is in foster care with three other small dogs (two males and one female) and we believe his ideal home will be as an only dog with a couple who do not have children or perhaps work from home. If they had another dog then Timmy would be best suited  with a female doggy pal of similar size. It has been such an enjoyable journey watching Timmy go from quite an anxious little dog to being more relaxed, settled and playing just like a young dog should. He loves to chase his toys, toss them in the air and then chase them some more. He travels well in the car and walks well on the lead without pulling or barking and reacting when he sees another dog. Timmy is a little unsure when he meets people for the first time but easily comes around and was wonderful with the groomer when he recently had his first professional makeover. You can see  just  looking at his picture what a handsome boy he is! Timmy is a house dog that is house trained and he uses the doggy door like a pro. He sleeps quietly through the night on his bed and wakes so excitedly in the morning looking for his human to let him out for his morning inspection of the garden. Timmy has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is on medication daily for this condition. He has half a tablet morning and night and has not had any seizures since starting on his medication so we believe his epilepsy is now under control.  Epilepsy medication is not expensive and amounts to about $20 per month. Timmy has a low maintenance coat and a frequent brush and regular clip will keep him looking as he does now .... very handsome and showing off his big brown eyes!

JAKE AND ASTRO

Two Male Great Dane X Puppies

Aged approx. 6 months

Large size


   

Introducing Jake (right ) and Astro (below) - two beautiful Great Dane X puppies with a story of their own. As puppies they were dumped at Wyong Pound and came into care into care in early August. Since then they have been under the care of Brian, a very kind vet from Belmont Veterinary Clinic and Brian and his team have been fantastic working with the pups and trying to keep the costs down where possible. Up until now the pups have needed to go back for cast changes, antibiotics and general check ups and the costs so far have been $2000. The pups may look normal with their casts on but they are suffering with a condition known as "knuckling over".  This is a deformity in their legs where the joints and bones grow at different rates and in turn this leaves them crippled. It is not uncommon in large breeds and, if caught early, can be corrected. Due to the severity of Jake and Astro's condition they will both require surgery so that they can lead a normal life but without this they have an uncertain future. Due to the complexity of the surgery, they now need to be seen by a specialist surgeon and we are currently seeking donations as Jake needs to have his surgery immediately.  At the moment Astro is coping with having half casts and will need surgery further down the track but Jake's situation is desperate.

 

THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE FOR THEIR KIND DONATIONS WHICH HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR JAKE AND ASTRO TO HAVE THEIR SURGERY AT SASH (SMALL ANIMAL SPECIALIST HOSPITAL) ON WEDNESDAY 4 JANUARY!

FRED

Male Maltese X

Aged approx. 2 years

Small size

When Fred came to his foster home his coat was in such bad shape he had to be clipped so short he was practically nude. Now, a few weeks later, his hair is growing back nicely and Fred is loving sunbaking in the yard. Fred came with another PAWS dog Cheech and they were both so terribly frightened of everything they would run away, even from cuddles and pats. After a little coaxing with food treats, Fred now loves pats and makes sure he is there at the door ready and waiting with a wagging tail and a smile on his face, for his hello pat and belly rub when you get home from work. Fred has come a long way in just a few short weeks and now adores cuddles and tummy rubs. He knows to sit on his 'mat' inside and will even jump up for a cuddle on your knee, something we could not have imagined the Fred that came to us on the first day doing. With a little more time and persistent training Fred is learning to wear a harness (this part is already mastered) and is practicing the feel of the lead just in the backyard for now, but hopefully soon out on a walk. We're sure he will be quick to realise that walks are just as good as pats!  Fred is house trained and responds very well to his name and the basic commands 'come', 'out', 'up' and 'down'. With a little more training he will definitely be able to learn more commands and is really starting to show his personality while playing with his doggy foster friend Cheech (even playing 'find the hidden rawhide treat!). Fred is a really cute little boy who would be a magnificent addition to a family with older children and another dog to play with (although we're sure would love to go to a new home with Cheech!)

Fred
comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400.

Kimmy is a darling little girl with a lovely soft coat and eyes that would melt your heart.  She is in foster care with other small dogs and gets along very well with all of them and they run and enjoy playing in the garden and hiding in the bushes.  Kimmy loves to go for a walk with her foster family, sleeps all night long on her carer's bed and is up for cuddles and kisses when ever there are any to spare.  Kimmy can be afraid of some men so a home with a family without noisy teenage boys would be best for her. Kimmy is a house dog with a coat that will grow back and require regular grooming.

HARLEY

Male Purebred Maltese

Aged approx. 3 years

Small size
 

Harley is a beautiful little man who was very timid and scared when he first arrived in foster care but is quickly realising that the world is not such a frightening place after all. Harley has now bonded with his foster carer and her dog (a large crossbreed) and two cats. He loves cuddles and will jump into the arms of anybody who will give him kisses as he is just a little snuggle bug! Harley is already house trained and is learning new commands, having already mastered 'sit'. Bed time is Harley's favourite time of day and he sleeps soundly alongside his foster carer all through the night. Sometimes not even breakfast can get him out of bed! Harley would be best suited to a quieter home with no small children and, with the right encouragement, he will grow to be a confident little man. Harley has been clipped right back as when he came into rescue he was a matted mess and when his coat starts to grow it will require regular grooming. Harley is an inside dog that will need access to the house at all times and he would be best suited to a home where he will not be left home for long periods of time, perhaps with another little doggy friend for company.

Harley comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400.

DENNIS

Male Maltese X

Aged approx. 5 years

Small size
 

Dennis was surrendered to the Pound by his owners and we are not sure why as Dennis's foster family think that he is a fantastic little guy. Dennis appeared lost when he first went into foster care but has settled happily now and enjoys a nice family life. He walks well on a lead and loves to go out walking. Dennis gets along famously with his foster carer's own dog who looks just like him. He sleeps all night long downstairs in his basket without a problem and can be left alone so would probably be fine as an only dog so long as he was not left for long periods of time.   Dennis would love a home with a fantastic family who will give him the attention he deserves. He is a house dog and is grasping the concept of house training and using the doggy door with ease. Dennis absolutely loves his cuddles and pats and will nuzzle into your hand if you stop patting him. He eats anything that is put in front of him and has a low maintenance coat that just requires a brush and a trim. Dennis' coat is low shedding.

NANCY

Female Purebred Mini Fox Terrier

Aged approx. 4 years

Small size
 


Nancy was rescued by
PAWS from the Pound as an unclaimed stray.  As with all of our rescue dogs, we never really know what has happened in their past, but Nancy does seem to be quite insecure and unsure of herself at times. In spite of this, she has the most soulful brown eyes and her tail never stops wagging. From initially not knowing how to walk on the lead, and being very reluctant to leave the safe confines of her foster carers’ home, Nancy now becomes very excited when her lead appears, and she seems to really enjoy her walks. Nancy sleeps through the night on her own bed in the family room at her foster carers’ home and she has not disturbed them even once at night since moving into their care.  Nancy travels well in the car, and will lie quietly in the back seat.  When she is at home, she is not particularly active, and spends quite a lot of time on her bed during the day.  Unlike some Fox Terriers, Nancy is not 'yappy' and does not bark unduly. Nancy is not a fussy eater and has been fed on dry food with an occasional meal of chicken and meat just for a little bit of variety.  She has done really well with her house training, and it is now rare for her to have an accident inside. At times Nancy seems to lack confidence with some other dogs, so a home where she is an 'only dog' is a must for her.  She will sometimes also show this insecurity with human visitors to her foster carers’ home but, with more experiences and socialisation, she is becoming more confident.  With the help of a dog behaviourist, her foster carer has been training Nancy to feel more secure in her own environment, so an experienced owner who will continue this training would be great for Nancy.

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

Male Pomeranian X Puppy

Aged approx. 4 months

Lucas and his two litter mates Hector and Max came from the Pound at the tender age about 4 months after being found wandering the inner city streets in Sydney all alone and very hungry. PAWS agreed to take the three boys and we are committed to finding them the best possible homes. Lucas and his brothers can be separated but must go to a home with another small dog for company. This is mandatory as they are at their happiest when they have a playmate. The boys are doing extremely well with their house training and wake their carer during the night if they need to go outside in a hurry. Lucas and his brothers sleep all night long in their beds and enjoying playing with their toys. They are also very good eaters and get along with all other dogs that they meet. Lucas is a house dog and must have access to the house in his new home. He has a fairly low maintenance coat that requires some trimming and regular brushing and bathing to keep it looking lovely. Lucas will benefit from some training and enjoys going for walk with his foster family.

Hercules has the greatest personality ... he is fun, fun, fun and makes his foster carers laugh with his incredible antics. Hercules runs laps around the garden, speeding up as he gets lots of encouragement from his carers who think he is a fantastic little dog. He would enjoy a home with a family who have the energy to take him on walks and visits to the local dog park and a small companion dog to keep him company would also be wonderful. Hercules is house trained and sleeps all night long in his little bed. He was clipped off when he came from the Pound but his coat is growing back and will require grooming to keep him looking and feeling great.

POIROT

Male Maltese X

Aged approx. 6 years

Small size

Poirot is a very sweet boy but when he came into care we were not sure about his personality as he was sad and miserable. Poirot has blossomed in foster care and is now a happy and playful boy. He is there with other small dogs and enjoys playtime with them but also loves cuddle time with his humans, sitting up on their laps to watch television or just chilling out getting pats and tummy rubs. The perfect home for Poirot will be with a gentle family who have older children or a retired couple looking for a dog to dote on and take on walks. Poirot is a joy to groom and does not flinch as the groomer clips away. Poirot is a low allergy type dog whose coat will grow and require regular clipping. Poirot is a house dog and goes in and out of the doggy door with ease.

MACK

Male Pug X Boston Terrier

Aged approx. 3 years

Medium size

Mack is a joyful, energetic boy whose foster carers think is a fantastic little dog with such a zest for life.  Mack must go to a home with another dog of similar size and would love a friend in his new home who has the same energy levels as him or he will wear them out.  Mack is a house dog and is not a small boy weighing in at about 13kgs. He loves going for walks and getting lots of attention from his carers and his favourite thing in the world is playing with his ball. He will do this for hours but is reluctant to bring it back as if you throw it he chases and keeps!  Mack was not a house dog in his previous home but he is now and really enjoys this new experience.  Mack is not suitable for young children as he is 'fun on legs' and may knock small children over.  He would love a family with older kids who will give him the time and play he deserves.

Charlotte came from the Pound an unsightly mess, skinny and emaciated. It didn't take long at all for Charlotte to fill out and for her hair to grow a little turning this girl into a very pretty little dog. Charlotte is in foster care with both a large and a small breed dog and we think that a home as an only dog will probably suit her or maybe with another small male dog. Charlotte is as quick as a whip and does love going for walks each day. She is a house dog with a coat that will grow and require grooming to keep her in looking good. A home with an energetic family who do enjoy getting out and about with their dog will suit Charlotte best.

When he arrived in foster care he did not like walking with a collar and we don't think he had ever been walked before, but he is improving in a harness very quickly and enjoys his walks. Ernie would do well with a small female doggy companion and would be great in any family situation.

Look at this beautiful little girl, what an adorable face! Ruby is only still a puppy really and was surrendered to PAWS. Her owner took her to the vet when she injured her leg but, when given the news about her injuries and that specialist surgery was required to fix Ruby's leg as she had fractured both her radius and ulna, told the vet to euthanase her. The vet asked if PAWS would take Ruby on and have her surgery done and of  course the answer was a resounding YES.  Ruby is just a baby with so much love to give and well worth any effort to save her life. Ruby is in foster care with other Poodles and does enjoy their company so, for that reason, Ruby will only be rehomed with another dog for company and not as an 'only dog'. Ruby cries like a baby when she does not have a doggy friend close by!

LUCY

Female Purebred Pug

Aged approx. 4 years

Small size

Sadly Lucy is blind and not coping with her current environment so her family have had to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome her. They have an awkward backyard, an 18 month old son who does not understand Lucy’s needs and another child on the way Lucy is an outgoing Pug who doesn’t let her lack of sight get in the way of anything. She unfortunately lost the sight in both her eyes about 18 months ago but bounced back quickly with a lot of encouragement from her family who helped her gain confidence to move around again. When Lucy is running on the beach and through the water people walking past would never guess that she is totally blind!  At home Lucy gets around the place with a 'bumper bar' harness that protects her face when she gets excited or runs the wrong way. It is also very effective in navigating Lucy around any new obstacles. Once Lucy is confident in her new surroundings she will be fine with out it though it will take patience, time and encouragement from her new family. Lucy  needs a flat, safe backyard with minimal obstructions where she can lay in the sun during the day if she wishes. Her main requirement is to know that someone is around and that they are happy for her to snuggle at their feet or to sit on their lap for a cuddle. Lucy has a very loving personality and will provide the right family with endless love, company and affection. She is a house Pug who will suit a calm environment without young children. Lucy would love another Pug to follow around and who would become both her eyes and her mate.

Aged approx. 4 years

Polly's foster carer cannot say enough good things about this little girl! When she first arrived Polly was a little timid but she quickly settled in and made herself at home. Polly is just so easy to have around, she is perfectly housetrained, walks beautifully on the lead, sleeps all night in her own little crate next to her foster carer's bed, gets along with the resident dog and has not even given the chooks a second glance. Polly enjoys her daily outing to the dog park where she is not overly interested in the rough and tumble of the other dogs but she just does her own thing, happy to wander about checking out the interesting smells and staying fairly close to her foster carer. Polly is ideally suited to an active retired couple who are looking for a gorgeous little dog to share their lives with. Visiting grandchildren would be no problem at all for Polly as she adores children. Polly is a house dog and must have access to the house at all times. Her coat requires regular grooming and was recently clipped short but now that it is starting to grow back you can see that she is one very pretty little dog.

ZAKKY

Male Maltese X Shih Tzu

Aged approx. 2 years

Small size


Zakky is a very sweet and friendly little guy - he loves being with people, and is just as happy to potter around the house with you as he is to sit and relax. He loves going for a little walk each day (20 minutes seems to be enough, but he's also walked for an hour with no problems) and is very obedient while on the leash. He never pulls on it, or runs after other dogs but just trots along beside you and is just as happy walking to the shops as he is walking in the park. Zakky is very easy to have around the house - he's house trained, not an excessive barker and when it comes to night time he loves sleeping at your feet on the bed but will also sleep happily on his rug on the floor all night. Zach has a love of all things chicken flavoured and a tendency for one ear to flop over in a very cute way. He just needs regular grooming to keep him looking his cutest. Zakky seems ideally suited to a person or couple with no kids but a home with older children would probably be fine. Zakky really deserves a lovely adoptive home and if that home is yours, you'll be
getting a wonderful little dog!

SHORTY

Male Purebred Shih Tzu

Aged approx. 10 years

Small size


Shorty is such a lovely boy it is hard to believe he landed in the Pound in a terribly neglected state. Poor little Shorty was in very bad shape when PAWS first took him in and was badly matted, full of fleas and his eyes had an infection causing them to be sealed shut. In fact, he was so uncomfortable and despondent that he had shut down. It has taken a few weeks of TLC but Shorty has now come out of his shell, responds to affection and patting and is now comfortable, knot free and healthy. He is a very quiet gentle dog with limited hearing but that does not stop him enjoying life to the full. Shorty is a happy boy who holds his head up high, follows his foster mum everywhere, loves his treats and cuddles and is great company. He is quiet and does not shed so is an ideal inside dog. Every day Shorty sparks up more ... he loves company and greets everyone with a smile and a waggy tail. He is very undemanding and doesn't complain if his dinner is late or mum wants a sleep in. Shorty s a polite boy and will sit and come, and never eats his dinner till told to. His favourite pastime is just sitting on the veranda watching the world go by. Shorty would make a wonderful addition to a mature household.

Shorty comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on heartworm prevention for the special adoption fee of $200 and is not available for adoption outside NSW. If you would like more information on Shorty or to arrange to meet him, please phone Denise on 0405 244871 or email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading.

GUS

Male Purebred Shih Tzu

Aged approx. 10 years

Small size


 

Gus is a gorgeous little boy who is always wagging his tail and so eager to please,  He is happy and inquisitive and always wanting to know what you are up to. Gus responds well to his name, general commands and loves his treats. He is in the process of being house trained and is doing very well. Gus is social and gets along well with other dogs but also loves people and would not mind a home as an 'only dog' providing he gets lots of attention and is not left alone for long periods of time.  Gus enjoys spending time in the garden lapping up the sunshine. He walks well on the lead and also loves to go driving in the car. Gus is very spritely for an old timer and deserves a permanent home with someone who will love and care for him in his senior years. Gus is a house dog with a coat that will grow and require regular grooming. 

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

LEILA

Female Purebred Shih Tzu

Aged approx. 2 years

Small size
 

Leila is a happy, friendly little girl who has settled well into her foster home with another PAWS dog Lilly. She is an affectionate, quiet dog with a playful side and Leila LOVES squeaky toys! She will entertain herself for ages with them, throwing and chewing until they just can't squeak anymore. While her foster carers are at work Leila spends her day with Lilly, happy in her company until her carers return at the end of day at which time she greets them with great excitement, tail wagging and turning circles with joy. Leila is a pleasure to have around and is no trouble. She is house trained, eats well and sleeps all night cuddled up to Lilly. Leila has a high maintenance coat that has just been clipped but, as her coat grows, she will require regular grooming and clipping several times a year. Leila is a house dog who must have access to indoors at all times. She is best suited to a mature household with another small, desexed dog and a family who will give her all the love, attention and squeaky toys she desires.

 
Leila comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400.

LILLY

Female Purebred Maltese

Aged approx. 2 years

Small size
 

Lilly is a happy, friendly sociable little dog who just loves everyone. She is an affectionate, smoochy girl who likes to follow her foster carer about the house, sitting at her feet when she does her makeup in the morning and curling up on her lap to watch TV at night time. Lilly is in foster care with another PAWS dog Leila and they have quickly become the best of friends. Lilly spends her day playing with Leila while their foster family are out at work and snuggles up to Leila at bed time. She is well behaved little dog who sleeps all night quietly until it is time to get up in the morning. She is not a 'yappy' dog, only barking to warn of someone at the door. Lilly is a smart girl who is very food motivated and easy to train, in fact she has already learnt to sit and will even do so without a treat! Lilly is a house dog who is house trained and must have access to the house at all times. She is best suited to a home with another small desexed dog, especially if her family are out at work during the day Lilly has recently been clipped short but, as her coat grows, she will require regular clipping and several visits a year to the grooming salon for a clip.

BASIL

Male Lhasa Apso X

Aged approx. 8 years

Small size

Basil was found under a bush in terrible condition just on Christmas Eve. The vet clinic that Basil was handed into advised the local Pound and, instead of being impounded, he was released to PAWS under duty of care for the mandatory seven days. We started treatment on Basil immediately as he was in so much pain from head to toe that he had shut down and wasn’t even moving.  Matted and riddled with fleas, Basil couldn’t even go to the toilet due to the matted hair on his bottom. He had sore and dry eyes, infected and filthy ears and a mouth full of rotten teeth. Basil was also unable to put one leg on the ground, perhaps from some sort of accident or being kicked severely.  His heartbeat was irregular and the vet thought he may not make it as he was going to require a lot of medical assistance. To get him through Christmas, Basil was placed on antibiotics and pain killers for the few days until we could get an appointment with a medical specialist at SASH (Small Animal Specialist Hospital). He had an ECG performed by the specialist which determined that infection and pain was the cause of Basil’s irregular heartbeat and PAWS started the long process of healing this dear little dog.  Basil's back was also very sore to the touch and, on top of it all, he had a case of demodectic mange. Basil’s many bad teeth were removed (he still has some left and has a little smile with two front teeth), his ears were flushed, he was desexed then placed on various medications and treatments to help him get well.  Basil's matted coat has also been clipped off very short. His foster carer adores this dear little battler as, right from the word go and in spite of all the pain and abuse he has suffered for a very long time, he had so much love to give.  Basil is quiet and sweet and just fits in with the household. He gives kisses to his doggy foster brothers and sisters who love him too and is just a little innocent who deserves nothing but the best. Basil is housetrained and generally quiet but will give you a couple of barks to alert you to the fact that it is actually time for his dinner!  He loves to curl up with you on the sofa and is delighting in being part of a family, He also loves the comfy beds and sleeps through the night.  Basil is currently only doing short walks but walks well on the lead.  He is a well behaved dog who is eager to do the right thing and would love a home with a family who will give him all of the comforts that a senior citizen deserves Basil is a house dog and is house trained. His coat is non shedding and will require some grooming to keep him looking super handsome.

PLEASE NOTE: Basil won't be available for adoption until he finishes his treatment. Please watch this space!

CHANEL

Female Purebred Shih Tzu

Aged approx. 4 years

Small size
 

It's hard to believe this beautiful little girl has been through so much in the last few weeks but despite it all she has shown what a special little dog she is. Chanel lost her home, was impounded and whilst in the Pound she was attacked by another dog leaving her front leg mauled to point that it was initially thought amputation would be the only option. Luckily for Chanel, we at PAWS know some wonderful vets who worked their special kind of magic and were able to save Chanel’s leg. Chanel is making an amazing recovery and has even started to go for short walks which she enjoys immensely. Chanel has settled into her foster home perfectly and is a delightful girl with the sweetest personality and who loves everyone .... her little tail just never stops wagging. She does not seem to have been left with any issues following her ordeal as she gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in her foster home, even the much larger Border Collie. Chanel is a house dog and has a low allergy type coat that will grow and then require regular clipping. Chanel would love a home with a family who will spend lots of time with her, take her on walks to the park and maybe where she will have the company of another similar sized dog to be her playmate.

BELLE

Female Wire Haired Jack Russell Terrier

Aged approx. 9 years

Small size
 

This truly beautiful little girl can only be described as very loving, extremely easy going and quite unlike a Jack Russell in nature as she is quiet and very, very sweet. Belle is 9 years young and loves to be with you as well as spend time pottering around the garden poking her nose into everything. She can be startled by loud noises and thunder and would prefer a quiet home environment. Belle is great with other dogs and would really love to have another little four-legged friend that would enjoy romping through the garden with her. Belle is house trained and her coat is easy-care with some shedding. Belle was surrendered with her companion Snoopy and they would be happy to find forever homes either separately or together. Belle would be ideal for someone who can spend some time at home with her and take her for a nice stroll each day. Belle is a house dog and she is house trained.

SNOOPY

Male Maltese X Poodle

Aged approx. 9 years

Snoopy is a gorgeous boy who is 9 years young and has a heart of gold. Snoopy is a lovely, sweet, gentle, quiet boy who loves a cuddle and enjoys the company of other dogs. He is such an easy dog to have around and is a genuine sweetie pie.  Snoopy's favourite hobby is simply snoozing in the sun or on the lounge. Both Snoopy and Belle were surrendered as their owner was in the final stages of cancer and could no longer take care of them. It would be lovely if both Snoopy and Belle could find a home together but this is not absolutely necessary.  Snoopy would be ideal for someone who can spend time at home with him and take him on a nice stroll each day. He is a house dog and has a coat that will require regular grooming.

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

Ivy is a well behaved girl who sleeps through the night without a peep and is making great progress with her house training.

Ivy gets along well with all the other little dogs in the household but, given a choice, she loves to have human company. Ivy is a house dog with a low allergy coat that requires regular grooming and clipping. She is best suited to a household where someone is a home most of the time such retirees or work from home people.

Aged approx. 6 months

Small size (when fully grown)
 

Scout is your typical happy puppy who enjoys playing, snuggling, napping and any affection he is given. Scout came to PAWS having been kept chained up in somebody's backyard, unloved and unwanted. He has quickly adapted to PAWS life where he is receiving all the love and care a puppy needs. Despite Scout's rocky start he is quickly learning to be a confident boy and learning all the necessary skills a good dog needs in life. His house training is coming along nicely, as is sit and stay! Scout is looking for a loving home where he will be a valued family member but is not suited to live with small children. A home with another small dog for company is a must as Scout is enjoying the new doggy friends at his foster carer's home.  Scout is a house dog with a nice silky coat that will require regular grooming to keep him looking in tip-top shape!
