 GABRIELLE Female 'micro' Labrador Aged approx. 18 months Small size
Gabrielle looks and acts like a 'micro Labrador' as she's extremely active
and yet loves to snuggle up for a cuddle. She definitely needs secure
fencing and another young doggy pal to 'energise' and play with her when
the adults are working and the kids are at school. An active family who
take regular, long daily walks plus a commitment to basic obedience
training, will see Gabby settle into a new, forever home with ease as
she's very bright and will take to reward training in fine style.
Gabrielle's coat is very low maintenance and just needs a a brush through
once a week.

 CODY Male Cavalier Spaniel X Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Puppy Aged approx. 8 weeks Small to Medium size (when fully grown)
Cody
is from the same
litter of ten puppies as
Sunshine
and was also rescued from the farm where the owner was
going to drown them both. Luckily for Cody
and the rest of his family,
a good Samaritan rescued them all and handed them to rescue. Cody

rehomed to a quiet
household without young children and
who have another dog to
be his companion and role
model. Cody is currently
learning the social skills
that are essential for all good puppies and he will be
available for adoption once
he is old enough to be desexed but expressions of
interest are being taken. Cody
is currently being fostered in Newcastle
and will only be rehomed to a household where he will have indoor
access and, like all puppies, he will benefit greatly from
attending puppy preschool or receiving basic obedience training.

Male Purebred Pekinese Aged approx. 11 years Small size
Paddington the 'Peke' is the funniest dog you'll ever meet as he is full of fun and will entertain you with a cute little tap dance when he wants to play. Paddington is so very sweet and has the loveliest temperament, lapping up any creature comforts bestowed upon him! Precious little Paddington waddles around the yard with his favourite toy dummy in his mouth, flops to the ground with a dignified grunt and amuses himself by sucking on his pacifier. A quick toddle up the street or a social get together in the park will keep this regal boy content, along with lots of cuddles and kisses. Paddington is a darling boy, affectionate and loyal, rarely barks and likes everyone, including the cats. He has a coat that sheds so will require daily brushing to remove any thick undercoat. Regular cleaning of his facial folds and a check of his ears and eyes is also essential. Older children would be best for this gentle Peke and indoor access is a must as Paddington is very much a house dog.

 DEXTER Male Purebred Shih Tzu Aged approx. 2 years Small size
Dexter had a rough
start to life and was a little shy when he first arrived at his foster
carers home
but within days he began to come out of his shell
and is now a normal, happy and healthy dog. Dexter is very gentle,
friendly and loves being around people. His
favourite pastime at the moment is finding a nice lap to sit on at
night to watch TV and he is a very loyal
companion. Dexter will enjoy a home with a family who have another
small dog as a companion for him if his owners are out at work all day.
Life with a stay at home mum
with some older children would be good for him also and he
would also suit a more mature home.
Dexter will enjoy going on walks to the park or
just around the neighbourhood and is an easy dog to own.
He is doing well with his house training and
should have that down pat in no time flat. Dexter is a house dog with
a coat that will require regular clipping and brushing,

LILY Female Maltese X West Highland Terrier Aged approx. 3 years Small size Lily had a pretty bad start to life and when she arrived in foster care she was a bit shy and nervous but the good news is that Lily is feeling a lot more confident and outgoing these days. Her favourite activity is a walk in the park and she is also learning to entertain herself by playing with toys. Lily probably didn't have any toys in her previous home so they are very new to her. Lily's foster carers say she is a very good girl because she always goes outside to toilet and walks nicely on the lead, never pulling or tugging. Lily is a quiet little dog who doesn't bark often, is well behaved MOST of the time and her foster carers think she is pretty cute! Lily will only be rehomed in a calm home that does not have any children in residence. She doesn't dislike them but will just be a much happier dog not living with children and a quiet couple who want a little dog like Lily to share their lives will be the best home for her. Lily is a house dog who must have access to indoors at all times. She has a high maintenance coat that will require daily brushing and, although not happy being brushed when she first came to us, Lily is enjoying that experience a whole lot more now.

 PIPER Female Pointer X Aged approx. 9 weeks (born approx. 4 June 2010) Medium to Large size (when fully grown) Piper found herself in the Pound at the tender age of 6 weeks. She is now ready for rehoming and requires a family who will take her to puppy preschool and give her socialisation and ongoing training as she will grow to be a very strong and active dog. Piper would like another dog for company in her permanent home and a desexed dog that will be a similar size to Piper when fully grown (we believe she will most likely grow to medium size). Piper would also like her new home to be one that will include her in the day to day activities of the family, including having her inside the house. Piper's family should not have very small children as she is a puppy and could knock them over in her excitement. She has a lovely coat which is low maintenance and just requires a bath and a brush.

"Look at that puggy wuggy face........he is simply adorable". Billy Magoo
was put on this earth to entertain and clown around and his foster carer is
sure he was a Court Jester in his previous life! He wants nothing more then

Magoo is still a puppy at heart and is learning to be a well mannered boy.
He adores being around people and is great with older children and cats.
Billy Magoo is quite boisterous and would delight in a brisk run in the

therapeutic massage. Being a Pug X, Billy Magoo doesn't have any issues with
his breathing so he is ideal if you love the Pug but dislike the snuffles.
Billy Magoo is a house dog so he must always have indoor access and he will
need regular grooming to keep him looking fabulous.
UPDATE 14 APRIL: Billy Magoo is a sweet and friendly boy who is curious about everything around him and with his foster home filled with teenagers there is a lot to action to enjoy. He is energetic and full of fun but also happy to sit quietly as long as you are there beside him. Billy Magoo sleeps in a basket beside his carer’s bed soundly all night because he really loves the company. He is a little larger than your average Pug but very cuddly and he makes you laugh with his puppyish antics. Billy Magoo is learning to walk nicely on a lead and his toilet training is being fine tuned. He would be quite happy to be an only dog as long as there is always someone at home. Billy Magoo lives quite peacefully with another dog and loves to play with her but it’s human attention he craves. He is a gentle boy who is just looking for someone to love. Billy Magoo is a house dog with a coat that requires a brush and a clip to keep him looking his best.

 JEANY Female Maltese X Aged approx. 12 months Toy size
Jeany is a tiny little girl who
came to us in the most disgraceful condition. Her coat was badly matted,
smelly and dirty and covered her face so tightly that the poor darling
couldn't even open her eyes. We believe Jeany only lived in the backyard
and probably never spent anytime inside with people. Now in foster care,
things are certainly looking up for this cute little monkey. Jeany has
been clipped and washed and is enjoying her new life as the youngest
member of the foster family! Although Jeany can be timid and unsure of
loud and sudden noises, we are amazed at how quickly she is adapting to
the "hustle and bustle" of everyday living. Jeany has the waggiest tail
and the sweetest temperament and is almost house trained. At night, Jeany
loves to curl up on the lounge till morning, looking forward to the
cuddles and attention that a gorgeous girl must have. Jeany would love the
company of another small dog to play with and a family with older children
as younger children may frighten her. Jeany is a house dog and must have
indoor access through a doggy door or similar. As Jeany's coat grows, she
will need gentle brushing and regular grooming to keep her comfortable and

Although he looks gorgeous in this picture, at other angles Jasper has a very ‘foxy like’ appearance with a beautiful tinge of red in his coat. Jasper is a very quiet dog and is content just to have some company. During the day he will follow you around the home or laze in the garden and he loves to share long cuddles at night - especially when you talk to him about your day! When Jasper arrived in foster care he was so desperate for attention that he shared hundreds of kisses a minute but now he has settled down to be a still affectionate, but much more relaxed boy. He is growing in confidence and his tail is starting to get used to wagging again, especially at meal time. Jasper's carers think he would fit best into a home with an older couple as, although he adores children, he may prefer a more relaxed atmosphere where he can get his dose of daily and nightly attention but we're sure he would love to have grandchildren visit! Jasper is starting to remember how to fetch, he is house trained and is a very clean dog who loves to be brushed. He walks so well on the lead that his carer's often have to check he is still attached! Jasper is a little nervous with loud traffic but we are sure this is just temporary and will disappear in the next week or so. He is fine when left for a few hours and is always overjoyed to see you on your return but does not like to be left outside for long periods of time, especially after dusk. If to be left alone for long periods then Jasper will need a playmate. He is is pretty passive and would love to have another doggy friend to keep him active and entertained.

He is comical at times with his facial expressions and looks at you as if he fully understands and relays it his own way in silent communication. Henry has been doing some basic training and has learnt to sit calmly, come to his name and understands simple words like 'no', 'stay' and 'come'. Henry is happy playing with both young and older children and has learnt to bring the ball back in a game of 'fetch'. Henry is living with dogs both small and large, a number of cats, rabbits and other small animals. Henry has shown no interest in the smaller animals, gets along with the dogs and has a friendly relationship with cats. He is curious about strangers yet doesn't bark when they walk past.

Henry would suit a family environment where he would be given play time and affection. He is an easily trainable, low maintenance, happy pup and is just needs a home of his own. UPDATE 27 JUNE: Henry is so full of life and it shows! He loves to play and tends to follow you around and has a way of looking at you as if to say "Who me?"

Male Kelpie X Staffy Puppy Aged 10 weeks Small to Medium size (when fully grown) Bandit has everything ... he is playful, gentle, friendly and very good looking as his unusual markings are undeniably outstanding. Bandit is waiting patiently for a family willing to play with him, take him on walks and allow him to join in with day to day activities. He is trustworthy and social with other dogs and would be a joy to add to any household.
UPDATE 23 JULY:
Foster carers have mixed feelings when their foster puppies go to their
new homes but they are also happy as, after all that's why they become a
foster mum, to help those pups in need. However every now and then along
comes a pup that stands out, one that livens up the house and makes
everyday a pleasure. All foster pups have their own special personality
but Bandit is one of those pups who have it all. He settled into his
foster home as if he'd always lived there and was extremely friendly with
all the resident cats, including the 14 year old grumpy one! Bandit was
perfect with all the other dogs and didn't try to boss them or take over,
he just went with the flow. When he met the kids his little bum almost
wiggled off and he walked into the house and sat on the floor not even
attempting to jump on the lounge. Walking
Bandit is a dream and, although he is a little slow, he is gentle and does
not pull on the lead. His manners at dinner time are very placid and he is
happy to share his bowl with others. Although bandit is 'chunky' he really
doesn't eat very much but then again we can just put it down to puppy fat!
By now you may be wondering why Bandit's carer doesn't just adopt him
herself? Well she would love to but as she already has three dogs of her
own and if she was to adopt Bandit she would no longer have room to foster
other puppies and others just like Bandit would miss out on the chance to
find a loving family of their own. So if you would like to have Bandit in
your life then you won't be disappointed. And his foster carer would be
very happy to find a family for Bandit to love and who, in return, will
love him just as much as she does herself.

Male Schnauzer X Silky Terrier Aged approx. 10 years Small size
Humphrey came to us in very poor condition and was surrendered to the Pound at the ripe old age of ten. He was emaciated, his teeth were putrid (all but six had to be removed) and his coat was in a dreadful condition with no shine or life in it. Humphrey caught a nasty virus while in the Pound and was on antibiotics for about five weeks. He is well now and feels so much happier since being out of quarantine and able to enjoy going to the park. Humphrey has been reborn and we will make sure that the years he has left (hopefully many) will be his happiest. Humphrey (affectionately known as B. Bear!) just loves to frolic and prance about. He enjoys socialising in the dog park every day, meeting people and some new doggy pals. Humphrey adores children of all ages and is very gentle and playful. This sweet boy loves attention and is content just sitting beside you watching television. He loves the family cats and will sit with them for hours in the sun. Humphrey has impeccable manners and is house trained. He loves dinner time and happily does the washing up by keeping all the doggy bowls sparkling clean! Humphrey loves to patrol up and down the front fence on a mission and his foster carer calls him a little "Boy Scout" ready for another adventure. Humphrey will need regular brushing to keep his beautiful coat in tip top condition and he is a house dog who must have access to the house at all times. UPDATE 28 JULY: Humphrey has just had his last 6 teeth removed and is now officially toothless! Humphrey's vet waited until his jaw bone was free from infection before doing the surgery and Humphrey's foster carer is happy to report that it has made no difference to his eating habits. He eats anything and everything including dry food. Good on you Humphrey, you are a real little trooper!

The only home suitable for Shelby at the moment will be with a retired couple who are home more often than not, a family where the Mum does not go out to work or someone who can take Shelby to work with them or in the car to pick up the children as Shelby is very good in the car. Shelby must have access to the house at all times. When her foster carer goes out she will bark for a while but then settles down. Shelby's foster carer left her video camera running to see how she does react when left alone and found that she is quite happy to play with her toys, sleep or just amuse herself and is not destructive at all when alone but Shelby must be kept in the house when her carer/owner goes out. Shelby is a lovely dog who would suit children over the age of 10 years. She loves to sleep by her foster carer's bed in her own little bed and really enjoys following her around the house during the day. Shelby is completely house trained, is enjoying going for walks and does like the company of other dogs. She is not timid of people at all but she just does not like to be outside when her carer leaves the house. Shelby has had her coat groomed by Dru who does a wonderful job with our rescued dogs who are not severely matted. Shelby will require regular grooming and clipping.

 SKYE Female Silky Terrier X Aged approx. 2 years Small size Skye was found by her foster carer hiding under a bed at the local Pound absolutely terrified by everyone and everything around her. But, since arriving in foster care, this little princess has blossomed and regained the confidence she had sadly lost due to her Pound experience. Skye is fine with other dogs, however she does give the house cats a run for their money just for the sheer fun of it. She is quickly learning the fine art of house training and we doubt she has ever seen inside a house before now. Skye is quite content to sit quietly at her carer's feet and would probably be best suited to an older household or a family who only work part-time and want a little house dog to snuggle up to when they get home. Skye is a house dog and will only be rehomed as such. She has a coat that will need regular brushing but does not necessarily require clipping.

 Female Cavalier Spaniel X Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Puppy Aged approx. 8 weeks Small to Medium size (when fully grown) This precious little bundle is from a litter of ten puppies that were rescued from a farm as the owner was going to drown them. Luckily for Sunshine and the rest of her family, a good Samaritan rescued them and handed them to rescue. Sunshine is quickly learning the social skills that are essential for all good puppies. She is still quite timid and will only be rehomed with an older family or couple who have another dog to be her companion and role model. Sunshine will be available for adoption from late July after her vet work has been completed but expressions of interest are being taken. She is currently being fostered in Newcastle and will only be rehomed to a household where she will have indoor access and, like all puppies, she will benefit greatly from attending puppy preschool or receiving basic obedience training.

is not a dog who crowds you and is happy with his own space. He is
most bonded and comfortable with the 'mum' in his foster home and does
not seem to have had a lot of exposure to children so for this reason
he is best placed in an adult household. Percy gets along well with
the other dogs but would be equally as happy as an only dog provided

Edie is house trained and has a gorgeous white coat with cute brown spots. She just loves cuddling up to whomever she can and, when it's time for bed, she curls up under the covers and doesn't move an inch for the rest of the night. When we first received Edie, she was quite timid and very skinny but she is beginning to become more confident as she becomes more comfortable in her surroundings and, as she is gaining more weight, is looking even more and more fabulous! When Edie goes to the park she receives a lot of attention and she loves to run and play with all the local dogs. As Edie is so small (pocket sized) she is perfect to take wherever you may go and is always well behaved. Edie will require regular grooming to keep her in top shape and will best be suited to someone willing to give her lots of attention and keep her as a housedog.

Lana seems to have had a rough start to life and was possibly abused but it hasn't taken long for Lana to come out of her shell and she is now wagging her tail and enjoying life as she should. Lana is currently being fed four times a day as she needs to gain weight and is getting the much needed nutrition that she has probably been lacking for most of her short life. Lana is really enjoying the food on offer and all the extra treats so does a little tap dance on her back paws in anticipation! She is great with kids, chickens and other dogs and does live with cats, pretty much ignoring them except when they try and steal her food and then she will chase them away! Lana is a house dog who is doing extremely well with her house training and she has already mastered using the doggy door. Her coat was so severely matted that it unfortunately all had to be clipped off but, once it grows back, she will need regular brushing and clipping to keep her comfortable and looking fantastic.

days a week. He is only a little

lively and loves to play fetch
with his squeaky toys or enjoy a rumble with Ruby the
Labrador. Loamy enjoys going out for walks on the lead and
does quite well considering he has probably never been taken
on a walk prior to being in the Pound. He
is doing well with his house
training but must have access to
the house via a doggy door or similar so that he can get
outside to toilet or lay in the sun (which
he seems to be quite fond of doing!).
Loamy is a house dog with a coat that had to be clipped off

Whilst still being a little shy and timid he is building in confidence and his funny little character is beginning to shine through. Owen likes to dance around on his back legs waving at you when it’s breakfast time and enjoys a little game that always seems to end in a belly rub. He is good with other dogs of all sizes and takes comfort in their company however he does have an excitable fascination with birds so is not suitable to be rehomed with our feathered friends. Owen would like to go to a gentle home that suits his personality, preferably with no small children as he can get frightened when approached suddenly. Owen is a house dog who is house trained and extremely well-behaved. He snuggles into the security of his soft, warm bed and sleeps quietly through the night. Weighing only 3.5kg, Owen is a petite boy with a soft coat that will require some grooming to keep him looking his best.

he would not be suitable in a home with young children as he is
powerful and will become even stronger as he gets older so could knock a small child over. Chief's new home

Max and Tizzie did have a loving home and were well looked after, even having diamante collars with their names on and jackets for the cold weather!

Tizzie seems to be the more outgoing of the two and is always there when the cuddles are handed out while Max checks the situation out before he comes for his share.

Juliette proved to everyone that she is one gutsy little puppy and will stand up to any dog no matter what their size. She is in foster care with other puppies and gives them all a run for their money, even climbing just like a possum up onto your lap which really amazes her foster carer.

She plays away with the other puppies and her best buddy is little Madison, the PAWS puppy who is going to have heart surgery and they are often found fast asleep curled up in a ball together. Juliette would love a home with another little desexed dog her own size.

Hermione is a house dog and would be an ideal companion for someone looking for a quiet little dog who has lots of love to give.

Male Purebred Shih Tzu Aged approx. 2 years Small size Jerry is a cheeky little dog who loves to play with his ball. He brings it to you in his mouth and looks at you with his lovely eyes making it impossible for you not to throw it for him to retrieve. When Jerry is outside he loves to chase and play with the other dogs in his foster home. He loves his food and is being given lots at the moment as he is very skinny. Jerry is an attentive dog who is an expert at handshakes with both paws and you have to stop or Jerry will continue on with this game all day long. His foster carer thinks that he is just delightful because he understands everything you say to him and does all sorts of funny things. Jerry is a house dog and is house trained. He enjoys going out for walks meeting all the neighbourhood children and is in foster care with another PAWS dog Milton. Jerry would love a home with another small dog, a retired couple or a family who don't go out to work all week leaving him on his own and his coat will require regular grooming and clipping,

Male Mastiff X Puppy Aged approx. 5 months Large size (when fully grown)
Gus is a gentle, loving puppy who is in foster care
with both small and large breeds and gets on well with all of them. He is a
quiet boy, not bouncy or jumpy and he does respond well to training. Gus would
benefit from puppy training and then further ongoing training to prevent the
large breed 'out of control dog' syndrome. Gus's ideal family will have an
active lifestyle which includes walking and interacting with Gus everyday and
taking him to the park for extra stimulation and socialisation. Gus would like
a doggy friend in the family as he will be lonely if left on his own all day
and will become bored. He must be allowed inside with the family when they are
home and will not be suitable for young children as he will grow to be a very
large dog so will require good fencing. Gus has a low maintenance coat which
just requires regular brushing.

 WITHDRAWN FROM ADOPTION Female Kelpie X Puppy Aged approx. 4 months Small to Medium size (when fully grown) Baby Girl is sister to Franklyn and Pia and will grow to around the size of a small Kelpie or perhaps even smaller as she was the runt of the litter and, as such, can only see out of one eye. The vet believes that something obviously went wrong in her development as a tiny pup but the eye is not a problem to her. As Baby Girl is such a young dog she will need company and exercise and would not suit a home where she would spend every long working day alone.
Baby Girl comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $360. If you would like more information on Baby Girl please email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check the 'Desert Dogs' page on www.paws.com.au for any updated photos and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption.

Franklyn
is sister to
Pia and
Baby Girl and
is a bit of character who thought that
sitting still to pose for camera really was a bit too much to ask of
such young pup! He
is a friendly little fellow who is used to living indoors
and having lots of company therefore he
is best suited to a home with another dog or with people who are home for most of the day.
Franklyn is one of a number of puppies who are available for adoption from a remote community in the Northern Territory. Their rescuer raises the most wonderful pups .... all are different, all are blends of numerous different breeds and are very healthy young dogs with great temperaments. These puppies have been well socialised with other dogs, people, children and the 20 or so that have been rehomed in Sydney to date have been great with cats as well. All our 'desert puppies' are available for adoption outside NSW. UPDATE 10 MAY: Franklyn (who is now in foster care in Sydney) is such an easy pup! Now 6 months old, he loves playing with his young foster dog friends but will quickly settle down and, if allowed, loves to cuddle up next to you on the sofa and happy to be there for as long as you want. Franklyn is not a big dog (about small Kelpie size) and very lean but with the most gorgeous big ears and a tail which is so long it hits each side of his body when he wags. Just like all his other 'desert dog' pals he has a lovely nature and there is no reason why he should not be rehomed with children, cats or other dogs. Franklyn has access to outside most of the day but has shown very good doggy manners by being house trained. He will bark to sound the alarm but never barks for no reason. UPDATE 13 JUNE: Franklyn is now in foster care in Sydney and he is an 'all rounder' dog who thinks of himself as the next up and coming NRL player so don't be put off by his name as he is more 'Frank' than 'Lyn' !! He has all the qualities of a family dog with his playfulness and easy going, gentle happy nature. Franklyn would love a family where he would be considered one of them. He is happy to join in with ball games yet gentle enough with younger children. Franklyn is happy to play with other dogs and even a cat or two!! He is not ashamed to show his sensitive side by his love of cuddly toys and of course he promises not to snore providing you let him sleep on the lounge occasionally. Franklyn is truly a family dog and is not a barker. He is playful, trustworthy and if he could cook dinner we're sure he'd do that too!! So if your family is lacking the perfect dog please why not give Franklyn his forever home? He may not be able to cook dinner but he WILL do his own dishes by licking them clean!

 PEPPIE Male Purebred Tenterfield Terrier Aged approx. 5 Years Toy size
Peppie is a little pocket rocket - he can tear around with his doggy
foster pals all day but he also loves to snuggle down and sleep once
he's had his dinner. The expected age for toy size dogs is 15-18 years
so Peppie has a lot of life left in him yet! His coat is very low
maintenance and just needs a brush over once a week. Peppie is ideally
suited to an active person or couple who want to take their dog

Warren has quite a personality that shines through within a very short

anything that's going on around the house. When you go to pick Warren

 SWEET PEA Female Shih Tzu X Maltese Aged approx. 2 years Small size Sweet Pea is a very pretty dog however had to have her coat clipped off completely while under for desexing and this picture was taken beforehand. Underneath her coat and her ears, tummy and back legs were badly matted as Sweet Pea's coat had been severely neglected. Dogs with coats like hers must be clipped by a groomer at least every 8 weeks and their ears and eyes need regular cleaning and trimming otherwise it is very uncomfortable for them. Despite all of this, Sweet Pea has a divine nature, she loves children and is good with other dogs. She will benefit from a good walk each day as she is a young dog and does have lots of energy. Sweet Pea will only be rehomed as a house dog and will be house trained whilst in foster care. Sweet Pea can be rehomed as an only dog providing she is not left alone all day.

Kantar is just a little gentleman - he never barks but just hangs out with

and is just a great all round ''team player'. Kantar is ideally suited to
a family with children who are looking for a pal for an existing small
doggy or two. He'd just love to walk the kids to school, return home with
his doggy pal for the day, go back at the school gate to walk the kids
back home and then curl up on the bean bag to watch TV with them. Kantar's
coat is the full grooming type so regular clips around every 8 weeks will
ensure he copes well with the NSW climate.

 MUMMA MIA Female Purebred Maltese Aged approx. 2 years Small size
Mumma Mia came to us from the Pound
barefoot and pregnant!
This poor little girl was so neglected ...
she had a skin infection, both
ears and eyes
were infected and her coat was putrid and
matted. Mumma Mia was given a good meal
and then we set to work to clean her up, medicate her eyes, skin and
ears and clip off her dirty coat.
Mumma Mia's nails were so long that it hurt her to walk but were
clipped very soon after this photo was taken
to make her more comfortable. After her
make-over. Mumma Mia enjoyed having
her tummy rubbed and
wriggled to get our attention as she wanted more but then laid
on a cushion on the lounge and slept.
Mumma Mia was probably someone's baby early on in her life but
those days were long gone given her poor condition.
Mumma Mia is going to have a wonderful life from
now on. She will be fed a nutritious diet
in preparation for the birth of her puppies so that her milk supply
is good and she is well and healthy and
can look after them. Her vet
thinks that she is probably due early June and
Mumma Mia will not be ready for rehoming until her puppies are
independant and she is desexed.
We will let you know when the
puppies have been born!
UPDATE 17 May: Mumma Mia has a new home to go to once her puppies have been weaned.

Female Chihuahua X Aged approx. 18 months Small sizeWhen Maya was rescued (along with another of the 'Desert Dogs' Miel), it was discovered that she was pregnant. She gave birth to a lovely litter of tiny puppies (some of who were rehomed in Sydney and are now living the good life near the Blue Mountains!) Maya enjoys bush walking and swimming in the Billabong and has no problem at all keeping up with the big dogs. She is not a yappy little dog but is a very affectionate girl who loves to cuddle up on your lap and receive some 'one on one' attention. Maya is now desexed and ready for a forever home. She is used to living indoors and having lots of company so is best suited to a home with another dog or with people who are home for most of the day. UPDATE 10 MAY: Maya is the gentlest little girl and, maybe because she has had her own pups, is so maternal that she helps Gloria look after a tiny kitten by licking her all over every time the kitten gets bottle fed. Maya adores to sit in your lap and would fit in anywhere.

Miel is a dog with
real charm and
is famous with his
rescuer and her friends for the various directions that his ears
like to fold!
Miel is about Fox Terrier
size and
has to be one of the calmest and
quietest Foxy
type dogs you could meet.
He is quite a
handsome boy with his lovely brindle markings and
is used to living indoors.
Miel has very nice house manners and does not bark
unnecessarily. He is accustomed to having
lots of company so is best suited to a home with another dog or
with people who are home for most of the day.
UPDATE 10 MAY: Sandra has recently returned from a visit to Yuendumu and reports that Miel, just like his three sisters who have been rehomed from the desert, is one of the most relaxed Foxy X she has come across. While visiting Yuendumu, she spent a quiet day at Miel's home with Gloria and all the wonderful desert dogs. The atmosphere was so calm and relaxing that as she lay in the hammock Miel jumped straight on to her and curled up so she fell asleep cuddling this lovely little boy and surrounded by about another twenty or so desert dogs. Miel's exact age is known because he and his sisters were a week old when their mum died and Gloria began hand rearing them. We can't understand why Miel still has no permanent home because he is the right size, low maintenance and has a wonderful character! UPDATE 30 MAY: Miel's foster carer says about Miel that "he is the best of dogs, completely patient and lovely with the kids, playful and affectionate. I wouldn't hesitate to say that he would be fantastic with small children. If you'd seen the way our daughter was cuddling him and carrying him around today, while he wagged his tail and licked her face you would know what I mean!! Last night when it was time for bed I couldn't find where he'd got to and I found him on m son's bed all snuggled up, looking as warm and comfortable as a dog could be! He is also really great with our other dog Meg. The two of them have been tearing around the house chasing each other and having a wonderful time. They are currently staring at each other and wagging their tails, waiting for each other to be the first to jump up and start the chasing game once again."

 SWIPER Male Chihuahua X Mini Foxy Puppy Aged approx. 4 months Small size (when fully grown)
Swiper is yet another impulse buy from a
pet shop and was purchased by an 85 year old lady who lived in an
apartment! The lady loved Swiper however her body corporate did not allow
animals in the building so Swiper had to go. Swiper was delivered to the
Pound by a family member (along with his little bed and toys) but luckily
he was intercepted at the entrance to the Pound and taken on by
PAWS
for rehoming. It was a case of being in the right place at the right time
for Swiper as anytime spent in the Pound would have been extremely
traumatic for such a little puppy. It is cold and rainy and he could have
picked up many bugs from the Pound. Swiper is now desexed and will have
his third vaccination before he goes to his new home. He is well on the
way to being house trained and will be a very active dog when he has
finished growing. Swiper loves the company of other dogs and will play for
hours so a home with a dog similar in size to Swiper would be the best for
him. He will benefit from socialisation and training, lots of time with
the family and little walks to train him how to walk on lead. Swiper
sleeps all night long in his crate and, when he wakes, he loves to share
his toys with you. Swiper will only be rehomed as a house dog and must
have access to the home via a doggy door. He will be best rehomed with
children over 8 as he does still nibble and scratch like most puppies and
young children do tend to be upset by puppies jumping up at them.

Harriet McLairey is another pet shop dog surrendered to
PAWS
and is the third dog surrendered to us in 2010 that was purchased (in
the owners' own words) as an impulse buy from a pet shop. All three came
from the same pet shop in Hornsby which is part of a huge chain that
sell in major shopping centres. No fault of Harriet at all, just a bad
decision made by a lady who had two children in tow and was out shopping
for groceries. Children then apply pressure to the mother who buckles
and buys the dog for them. Big mistake! The dog then spends most of
their life outside on their own. But not Harriet McLairey who is in
doggy heaven now and you couldn't wipe the grin from her face when we
took her to her foster carer's house. She came in and immediately began
playing with the matriarch canine of the house, doing 'zoomies' in and
out, jumping from the deck onto the ground and then up again for another
round of fun. Later that afternoon Harriet went to the park and wanted
to befriend everyone. Her new life has begun and she thinks that it is
just amazing, all of this great stuff that happens when you go outside
the confines of the yard and are free. Harriet McLairey is a very
intelligent girl with great zest for life and will need a committed
owner who will take her to training or perhaps agility as she is so
agile and can jump up or down from a great height. Harriet has had
almost no training at all and is a bit silly at the moment however, with
the right owner, this dog will be fantastic. She is house trained, but
does not walk well on a lead and will have as much training as possible
with her foster carer to remedy this. Harriet's new owners will need to
be energetic people who are prepared to take her to the park for
socialisation and regular walks and she would love another dog as a
companion if her owners are at work all day. Harriet is a house dog with
a coat that will require regular brushing and trimming.
