Male Purebred Chinese Crested and
Female Bichon Frise X Maltese
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

TEDDY
Male
Silky Terrier X
Aged
approx. 10 years
Small size
|
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.

BLUEY
Male Terrier X
Aged
approx. 18 months
Small size
Bluey (who has red hair)
is a quiet, friendly dog who likes to be close to you and is a good companion to
have around the house. He came into foster care thin and sad and to start with
was very tense and frightened, looking for a dark quiet corner to hide in.
Bluey's ribs were prominent and his hair was dry and scraggy however, as he
began to experience the good life, he gradually relaxed and began to smile.
Bluey is gaining weight and enjoys his food. He is also house trained, sleeps
quietly on his rug in the doorway and appreciates a lap to sit on but is happy
to snooze under your chair while you read or watch TV. Bluey thinks walks are a
wonderful invention and happily trots around checking all the lamp posts. He
likes the other foster dogs but would probably be quite happy as an only dog as
he likes human company. Bluey is hoping for a home with a quiet environment as,
although not scared of loud noises like fireworks or thunder, he does prefer a
life without surprises. Bluey must have had a difficult life with stress or fear
because he cringes at a door banging or kids yelling in the street so crawls
away looking for that dark corner but reassurance, pats and kind words help him
relax. Bluey just needs to have the space to work out his place in the world
with out the stress of expectations. He is learning to unwind and sometimes asks
for a cuddle as he is rebuilding his trust in people. As Bluey develops, with
love and understanding he is sure to give back a life of enduring faithfulness
to the lucky people who can give him a secure, loving and stable home.

KOBI
Male
Maltese X
Aged approx. 9 years
Small size
|
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.

MAXIE
Male Poodle X Shih Tzu
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.

LUCIE
Female Silky Terrier X
Aged approx. 5 years
Small size
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.

HARRIET
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.
HARRIET WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION UNTIL SHE HAS RECOVERED FROM
HER SURGERY and we will keep you updated on her
progress ...
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 -
- her
soft palate was shortened as it was too long so getting caught and
blocking her airways
-
she had everted laryngeal saccules removed.
Because of her abnormal breathing (narrow nostrils and long soft palate),
every time she took a breath it caused huge negative pressure in her
larynx. This sucked the sides of larynx into the airway (like little
balloons - called saccules); they were on both sides and were essentially
blocking her airway every time she took a breath
-
her nostrils were widened and this increased
the diameter of her nostrils, thus increasing the airflow.
After the
surgery Harriet was breathing better and is now recovering in foster care.
Please click on the photos below to enlarge ...
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

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

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.

 ISABELLA
Female
Maltese X
Aged approx. 10 years
Small size
This sweet, gentle little girl came into the Pound in a shocking state
(click on photo below) and could hardly move as she was so matted. The
staff could not even identify her breed and thought she might be a
Pomeranian due to the amount of hair that was covering her whole body.
Isabella was sent to the Pound vet and, after being sedated and shaved
right back, a small and gentle little Maltese X girl emerged from under
the matted hair. Then the next big shock came as once shaved off the vet
saw that Isabella had a substantial injury to her leg that had gone
unnoticed at the Pound. The wonderful vet Dominic examined her carefully
and established that she had sustained a significant trauma to her leg
some months ago. Isabella's Achilles tendon had been snapped (probably due
to being hit by a car) and if it had been treated immediately, the tendon
could have been sutured together so she could still use her leg. Sadly
this poor girl's injury was left untreated and Isabella had been 'making
do' ever since. Having said that, this sweetheart is a trouper and is so
happy to have all that hair off and be in care with her very loving foster
mum. She runs around so happily, lifting her leg to move and then using it
as a prop for a brief rest before going off again. This little girl has
learned to cope well with her injury and it doesn't cause her any pain and
does not really hinder her in any way. Isabella is a gorgeous girl who
wants lots and lots of cuddles, is happy and healthy, sweet and gentle,
low shedding and great with other dogs. She's a real stunner!

Lil' Darling
climbs all over them, playing with a tail or whiskers, until she gets them

Lil' Darling
loves to snooze on your

CHANEL
Female Maltese X
Aged approx. 8 years
Small size
Chanel has
blossomed since going into foster care with two other dogs. She loves going
on walks around the neighbourhood and can walk a long way so her foster
carer cannot believe that she is 8 years old as she has the stamina of a two
year old dog. Chanel and her foster doggy friends love sprinting around the
house and yard doing laps and, when she is done with that, you will find her
curled up under someone’s bed. The children of the house adore her and she
is great with them. Her foster family giggle at her 'granny legs' which she
likes to put out in front of her wherever she sits or, if she is being held,
always manages to stick her little legs out looking very prim and proper.
Chanel also loves to spend time under her carer's desk when she is on the
computer. She is a happy, confident little dog and her carer has found
nothing at all that fazes her.

MOE
Male Maltese X Shih Tzu
Aged approx. 4 years
Small size
Moe
is a dear little chap who was very neglected when he came to us. We fixed
all that ailed him and now he is feeling pretty good about life in general.
Moe has the sweetest personality and would love a home with another dog for
company or a family who wouldn’t leave him on his own for long periods of
time. Moe loves the simple things in life like sniffing in the large garden
belonging to his carer, playing with the other dogs or sleeping on his
carer's lap. He also loves to go on walks to the park or around the
neighbourhood. Moe is an easy going boy and a house dog so does need access
to part of his new home at all times as he knows how to use a doggy door and
is house trained. Moe has a coat that will grow and require ongoing
grooming,

HARRY
Male
Terrier X
Aged
approx. 18 months
Small size
This easy going, laid
back bloke has it all .... both looks and personality!! Harry is on the
medium side of small and loves dogs, people, cats and anyone else too. He
has a low shedding rough scruffy coat that just requires regular brushing to
stay in peak condition. Harry has settled into foster care easily and his
very laid back personality means that he's ready to run and play with other
doggies in the park when you are but also ready to nap and chill out when
that's on the agenda. Everyone who meets Harry loves him and he is a bit
like a teddy bear ... very cuddly, soft and floppy. Harry does require
regular daily exercise and his basic training is going well however he would
benefit from ongoing training in his forever home. Harry has shown some
anxiety and would ideally suit a home with another doggy companion or an
owner that works from home or is retired.

HEIDI
Female Shih Tzu X
Aged approx. 10 years
Small size
Heidi is an entertaining, energetic and alert little dog who really
doesn't act her age! She loves to play with like-minded doggy friends,
romping around the house and garden having fun and is quite robust when
playing so
needs a friend with equal enthusiasm for a good roll around. We don't
believe that Heidi would be happy in a single dog household so are looking
for her to find a home with another outgoing dog. Heidi loves her walks, a
cuddle in front of the TV, is housetrained (using a doggy door) and sleeps
through the night in her bed. Her coat is quite easy care and just needs a
weekly brush and visit to a dog groomer to keep her tidy and cool. Heidi's
carer says that she's a very easy dog to feed and will eat many things
including veggies.

OLIVER
Male
Spaniel X Maltese
Aged
approx. 6 years
Small size
Oliver
is a loving and sensitive dog who is wonderful with other dogs, cats and people
too. Oliver loves to lie on the sofa with you and watch TV but doesn’t much
enjoy getting his feet wet and would like a deck or courtyard above a grassy
lawn. Oliver is able to use a doggy door and has a sunny personality. He will
only be rehomed with another dog for company as he just loves to romp around
with a canine pal . Oliver is around 9 kilos in weight so needs a solid friend
to play with! His coat would only need an occasional groom and has soft hair
which is more like that of a Spaniel than a Maltese.

Rusty is a
small, light weight, short coated boy with fine features and his
coat is shedding but requires no grooming. Rusty is a typical
fun-loving pup who loves his toys, playing tug-o-war and rolling
around with his foster dog buddies. He is extremely social with
other dogs, house trained, very affectionate, enjoys going for a
walk and loves getting cuddles and kisses. Rusty is new to city
life, having come from a rural Pound, and needs the company of
another young playful dog for company in his new home. Rusty has
become extremely bonded with his foster dog friend
Fonzie and ideally it would be great to home them together.

She just loves to be with you, either curled up on your lap or right there
beside you. Coco has a low shedding, slightly rough, light coat that
requires a simple regular brush to stay in peak condition. She is small
and light and an ideal home would be one where her owner was either
retired or worked from home. Coco is a happy, easy going girl around other
dogs and people but does not necessarily need a doggy companion as much as
she needs human company. Coco is already quite house trained and does not
bark unnecessarily at all.

SALLY
Female Pug X Jack Russell Terrier
Aged approx. 2 years Small size
Sally is a great mix of both Pug and Jack Russell and loves to run around
and play just as much as she loves snuggling and napping! Sally is quite
an intelligent little girl and has picked up basic commands in a
heartbeat. Whilst Sally has been in foster care we have learnt that,
although she loves playing with her doggy pals, she sometimes has issues
sharing the attention of her human friends with them. For this reason we
believe Sally would be best placed in a home as an only dog or with a
family who has a medium size breed of dog that will not let Sally push
them around. Sally is a high energy dog, so a family who will give her
lots of opportunity to run and have fun is a must. She has a high shedding
coat that will require regular brushing in order to minimise this and is a
house dog so must have indoor access via a doggy door or similar at all
times.

GULLIVER
Male
Maltese
X Chihuahua
Aged
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
Male Purebred Maltese
Aged approx. 18 months
Small size
Salt is a very quiet and loving
young dog that loves the company of the humans in his foster home perhaps
more than the four legged friends who live there. Salt’s favourite place is
just sitting at your feet but more than anything a really big cuddle on your
lap is heaven on earth for him. 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 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

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!
