 TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN AND MAISY
Both aged approx. 3 years
Small size Barnaby and Maisy have been together since they were puppies and sadly now find themselves needing a new home or foster home together. Barnaby and Maisy's mum is unable to care for them any longer due to illness which is devastating for all concerned as these little dogs have been very loved in their home. They are very sweet little dogs who would love a lap to sit on and lots of cuddles. Barnaby and Maisy are house dogs that are house trained and need access to the garden through an open door or doggy door. They have coats that will require regular grooming to keep them in good condition. Barnaby and Maisy come desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention (had yearly vaccination) and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration for $400 THE PAIR and are not available for adoption outside NSW. If you would like more information on Barnaby and Maisy or to arrange to meet them, please phone Denise on 0466 690916 (between 8am and 7pm only) 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.

TEMPORARILY
WITHDRAWN
This stunning little man is so happy with life as he is very people
friendly and happily wags his tail all day. Teddy has a soft ,silky, low
shedding coat that requires regular brushing to maintain condition. He came
from the Pound in quite good condition but did have terrible teeth that
required a substantial dental. He loves other dogs and most likely had a
doggy companion in his previous home as he often gets into bed with his
foster dog friends for a nap. What a little gem of a man! Teddy is an inside
dog and will need access to the house at all times via a doggy door or
similar. He will require the company of another small, easy going doggy
companion. Ideally his owners would be retired/semi-retired or work from
home part of the week as Teddy does love his human company too.

TEMPORARILY
WITHDRAWN
Kobi is an active, affectionate and loyal dog with super energy and
enthusiasm. It's hard to believe that Kobi is the age he is because he
has so much energy and is still very playful. Kobi loves long walks
and never seems to tire. He sleeps in his bed throughout the night, is
generally quiet and peaceful inside but sometimes playful and often
throws his dog chews about. Kobi needs some one who can spend time
with him, possibly someone who works part time or from home. He would
probably suit being an only dog although he gets on fine with his
other doggy companion. Kobi would like a large and well fenced garden
where he can run freely but he is an inside dog who would need access
to indoors at all times. Kobi needs a home with someone who will take
the time to train and socialise him with other dogs. He is fully house
trained to a very high degree and has never made a mess indoors. Kobi
has a high maintenance coat which requires regular brushing and
professional clipping to keep him looking and feeling great. Listed 6 May Updated 17 May Rescued by Denise

TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN
MAXIE Aged approx. 3 years Small size
Maxie came
into the Pound in appalling condition as shown in his before
picture (click on the link below). Dogs arrive at Pounds
all too often in this condition and are groomed soon after
being released from the Pound then, once their coats have
grown back and they have been rehabilitated by a
PAWS
foster carer, they go off to their new homes without too much
trouble. But Maxie's case is worse than the usual matted
dog arriving at the Pound. He was completely blinded by
the matted hair covering his eyes and behaved like a blind
dog, banging into the wire run and the dogs he was in the
kennel with. This was not his only problem as Maxie also
behaved like a dog with a neurological problem and spun around
in circles for most of the day. This was very distressing for
the Pound staff and also for his rescuer on first meeting him.
Maxie's rescuer asked the Pound if he could be taken to the
vet for a full clip off while under anaesthetic as it
was the only way to remove his filthy, matted coat with
the least pain and stress for him. Maxie was taken to the
local vet and anaesthetised and the job to remove his coat
began but it took the vet nurse two hours to remove Maxie's
coat! He was checked by the vet while asleep and he
then stayed the night at the vet clinic before returning to
the Pound the next day. Maxie took a turn for the worse
back at the Pound and spun continuously. The Pound staff were
upset and moved him to a quieter area but it did not help him
as Maxie was so stressed that he could not stop spinning so it
was decided to release Maxie under duty of care to
PAWS. This
was a blessing for Maxie who went to stay at the vet clinic
until he was assessed and treated. Maxie was taken on walks
with another
PAWS
dog while at the clinic and each day the spinning lessened and
he began to enjoy the open space, seeing the world for the
first time in a very long time. Maxie would stop walking after
a while and he would put his paws up on his carer who picked
him up and cuddled him for a while. She would then put him
down and he would continue on his walk. Maxie is being fed
three times a day on Eukanuba dry food and he has started to
gain a little weight. He is also now wearing a 'Thunder'
coat which works on pressure points and Maxie is responding to
this. He is under the care of a qualified behaviourist who
will assess and begin training Maxie so that his circling can
be brought under control. He is a smart little dog, having
learnt how to walk on a lead and respond to kindness in a
matter of days. Maxie has a long way to go though and won't be
rehomed until we are confident that he is ready for his final
move. We wish Maxie all the best in the next phase of
his life and will do everything possible to ensure his
happiness and safety and feel privileged to have been given
this job as Maxie is a beautiful soul who deserves the best
life has to offer him.
UPDATE 5 SEPTEMBER: Maxie has gone from utter despair when he first arrived in care with PAWS to the absolute joy that he is today! Maxie has been to see a neurologist at SASH who assessed him and believes that his spinning behaviour is environmental and has probably been caused by the conditions he was kept in for years in his previous home. He was almost certainly kept in a confined space (similar to dogs in puppy farms) and for that reason he began to spin due to boredom and so the spinning behaviour became normal for him. Maxie is now on medication under the guidance of his neurologist and 6 weeks later we are seeing an "almost" normal dog. On his latest visit Maxie took food treats from her hand, walked normally around the consult room, wagged his tail and came when called to have his lead put back on. On Maxie's first visit to the neurologist he spun uncontrollably and was clearly distressed. His rescuer did question why she was putting Maxie through this on his first visit but today we are rejoicing for Maxie. Tears of joy have been shed and we believe that we can now begin the search for the perfect home for Maxie's needs. He will almost certainly stay on his medication long term and need to be reviewed by his neurologist in 3 to 6 months depending on how he progresses.
Maxie's
new owners will need to be very special people who will not
feel sorry for him but give him the cognitive therapy that
he requires to continue to improve. He must be taken on a
one hour walk each and every day at fast pace as he loves
going for walks and walking is very good for him. Maxie's
behaviourist has a regime for him involving food rewards and
boundaries and she has never given up on him. She will be
his behaviourist for as long as Maxie and his new owner need
her and give any potential adopter all the advice needed to
make sure that the transition to a new home will be as
smooth as possible for him. Maxie is not suitable for a home
where there are children or where his owners go out to work
each day and an active, retired couple or single person who
has plenty of time for him would be the most suitable. Maxie
has been on a very long journey and the first part of his
life must have been like a living hell so we are going to
make sure that the next phase is like heaven as he is a
great little dog and deserves nothing less.

Female Silky Terrier X
Aged approx. 5 years Lucie has been in foster care for a few weeks and is not sure what life holds for her now. She is a gentle but scared little soul who loves to be around people and follows her carer everywhere and will willingly cuddle with her at any time. Lucie is excellent walking on lead and enjoys her regular one hour walks to the local parks, stopping often to sniff around as it is all still new to her. She is wary and a little skittish around big dogs but this should improve with continued and gradual exposure. Lucie is a very sweet, quiet dog that has only barked a couple of time when she felt strangers were entering the house. She was not eating much the first couple of days but, now that she has settled in, eats eagerly and has started putting on weight. Lucie does not seem interested in playing with dog toys and bolted to the end of the yard the first time she was given a squeaky toy! She is happy to just curl up and sleep when she is not interacting with her foster carer. Lucie will be a wonderful companion but needs lots of love, patience and consistency and to feel secure in her forever home which ideally should have an area indoors where she can be contained but still feel part of the family.

Female Purebred Pug Aged approx. 3 years
Small size
Harriet is one joyous little Pug .... affectionate, playful and fun with
nothing but love to give. You would never know that this beautiful little
girl has come from not so beautiful beginnings, pumping out puppies for
profit! Harriet came to
PAWS
when two lovely ladies saw her advertised and donated the money to buy
Harriet who had been used as a breeding machine. After a visit to the vet
it was discovered Harriet has severe breathing difficulties, is overweight
and has a pretty bad back!!! Despite all her health issues, Harriet has a
sweet disposition and has settled into her foster home in no time. Harriet
is already house trained and loves playing with toys but mostly she loves
a good snuggle with her foster mum. Harriet also wants to play and have
fun with her doggy friends, even if she can't quite keep up just yet!
Harriet will need specialist surgery to widen her nasal passages to allow
her to breathe easier. She also has an 'elongated soft palate' which is
the soft structure at the back of the mouth behind the hard palate. In
brachycephalic dogs, the soft palate is longer than normal and hangs down
into the back of the throat. This, in turn, interferes with airflow into
the main windpipe (the trachea) resulting in laboured breathing. Part of
the specialist surgery will include fixing Harriet's soft palate and the
two procedures together will allow her to function like a normal little
dog so she can breathe more easily, walk, run and enjoy her life.
Harriet's specialist surgery needs to be done as soon as possible and is
an expensive surgery which is expected to cost in the vicinity of $2500.
UPDATE 18 MARCH: Harriet has now had her surgery to enable her to breathe properly. Her underlying problem is termed 'brachycephalic syndrome' and she had a severe case. Harriet's problem was genetic so she’s been suffering from this her whole life! Harriet needed three procedures performed during surgery -
UPDATE 27 MARCH: It has now been two weeks since Harriet's surgery
and she is doing very well. The totally recovery time for Harriet is 8
weeks so she will not be available for adoption until after the 24th of
April. Please feel free to contact us but we would appreciate your
patience as we answer enquiries during the
coming weeks. Also please note that although the surgery will dramatically
improve Harriet's well being she will still need to be in a very caring
and patient home and preferably with someone who has had previous
experience with
brachycephalic breeds.

SUGAR Male Purebred Maltese Aged approx. 3 years Small size According to his foster carer, Sugar is a sweet, pleasant, happy dog who is also very good looking! Sugar’s coat is a lovely pure white and will need regular grooming to keep him looking good. Sugar loves being picked up and hugs you back with an adoring look on his face. He enjoys human attention and would probably be happy as an only dog as, although he likes the company of the other dogs in his foster home, he doesn’t really bother playing with them. Sugar is house trained, eats well and is learning about the joys of bones and dog biscuits. He is a quiet couch potato but does enjoy a nice walk around the block. Sugar's carer said he is no trouble, sleeps quietly at the foot of her bed and is generally very pleasant to have around. Sugar would probably like a home where he is not left alone all day because he does enjoy company. Sugar is a house dog requiring indoor access via a doggy door or similar.

Toffee loves all humans and is very welcoming of newcomers. Food is another love in her life so the basic obedience commands will be a breeze for her if the reward system is used. Toffee may be a JAF (Just Another Foxy!) and one of too many coming through the Pounds that are not the 'breed of fashion' at present, but she has a bundle of love and loyalty to give a family for many years to come.

GULLIVER Male Maltese X ChihuahuaAged approx. 12 years
Small size Gulliver was so sick upon his release from the Pound that he spent nearly two weeks in the vet hospital having all sorts of tests and being kept on a drip. Initial tests revealed serious anaemia and the vet wasn’t hopeful as there were thoughts that Gulliver might have cancer so further tests were needed. We at PAWS were devastated because, once we had seen him in the Pound in such a terrible state and so listless, we were determined that Gulliver would get well and enjoy some happiness and good health in his life as he had been severely neglected for many years. At the Pound, his eyes never left his rescuers and that was the only part of him that could move at that point. You could see the fleas on him from a distance as they were so profuse and he was bald in places but matted in others. We prepared ourselves to say goodbye to this dear little dog and the kind vet staff were very upset because, during his few days there, his sweet nature was very endearing and his little tail never stopped wagging whenever they treated him. And then came the good news - his tests showed a long term whipworm infection! This has now been treated but Gulliver is currently still a bag of bones and on lots of small meals every day until he begins to gain some coverage on his back, hip and ribs. Gulliver is not well enough to have any surgery yet and needs desexing and also major dental work done so, as his mouth is very sore, all his food is very soft right now. We cannot wait to get that dental done so that Gulliver is free from pain and infection. UPDATE
20 FEBRUARY:
Gulliver was well enough to have his surgery
two weeks ago and had most of his teeth extracted but is now fully recovered and
thankfully pain free. His stitches came out last weekend (he was also desexed
whilst under anaesthetic) and, in the last couple of days, Gulliver has really
begun to show his personality. He dances around in delight at the sight of his
foster carer and watches her wherever she goes then likes to follow if possible.
He loves his doggy foster brothers and sisters and curls up very close to them
if he’s not on his foster carer’s lap. Gulliver is like a sponge where love is
concerned after so many years totally unloved. He’s still a little underweight
so is still on three small meals a day but he can now have tiny biscuits which
he wouldn’t even try previously due to his sore mouth. Today Gulliver found his
voice and barked at the dog next door! He’s also busy learning house training
and how to use a doggy door - all huge steps for a severely neglected
little man.

Salt is great in the car, loves to go for a walk and does not bark or chase the cats. He is in foster care with three other dogs (two male and one female) and, whilst they are not the centre of his world, he gets along very well with them. Salt is not fussy at meal times and does not argue over toys .... he is just nicest little fellow. Salt is doing really well with his house training and uses the doggy door like a pro. His foster carer believes he may be OK in an 'only dog' home providing he is not left for long periods as he could become lonely but will soon be someone’s devoted companion in a short space of time. Salt is a stunning boy with the biggest brown eyes. He had to be clipped quite severely so his picture doesn’t show how handsome he is once his hair has grown and he'll need regular grooming and clipping. Salt must have access to the house at all times and does like to sleep on his human's bed but will also sleep quite happily in his own bed all night long.

 ROSIE Female Shih Tzu X Cavalier Spaniel Aged approx. 5 years
Small size Rosie is a quiet and gentle natured girl who is absolutely gorgeous in both looks and personality. She is very loving and affectionate and wants to be close to you as she can, especially when there are belly rubs involved! Rosie loves to go on her walks, sitting and waiting patiently while you put on her lead. She needs a gentle owner who will spend lots of time with her getting to know her. Rosie is in foster care with a female Lhasa Apso that she gets along with very well, but she loves her human company and will curl up next to you (or on your lap) at any chance she can get. Rosie is very smart and well behaved and just wants to please you. She has already learnt how to sit, is house trained and sleeps through the night. Her foster carer hasn't heard a bark from her yet and Rosie is just a happy, easy-going girl and an absolute pleasure to have around. Rosie is an house dog and must have indoor access at all times. She has a beautiful coat that will require regular grooming to keep her looking gorgeous!
