 SOPHIE Female Lhasa Apso X Shih Tzu Aged approx. 4 years Small size
Sophie was surrendered to the Pound as her owner's circumstances
have changed. She's a very well mannered and well trained doggy
who's used to being an inside companion to senior owners. Sophie
is ideally suited to active retirees - she loves her daily
walks, rides well in the car, interacts very well with other new
doggy pals and just settles down after her dinner to watch TV
until bedtime for everyone in the house. Her champagne coloured
coat is the full grooming type and will need to be clipped every
8-10 weeks for the rest of her life expectancy which is, 12-15
years.

 ELKIE Female Australian Terrier X Aged approx. 4 years Small size
Elkie is a happy, go lucky doggy who would just love an
active owner to energise with. A brisk walk every day and then back home
to run around the property until bed time is what she loves. We've noticed
she's not keen on cats and also a bit uneasy around large dogs but those
her own size she loves and is very confident with her doggy foster pals.
Elkie is a great eater - no fussy diet needs for Elkie - just keep dishing
up the food! Her coat is a semi-grooming type so a
trip to the grooming parlour a couple of times each year will keep her
coat in very good condition with the odd bath in between and a weekly
brush through all that is needed.

Georges is a full on doggy who will benefit from some 'one on one'

Female Maltese X A ged approx. 2 yearsSmall size
Olivia came from the Pound with a serious heart condition but
was lucky to have been rescued by
PAWS
and had many angels
watching over her. Olivia needed open heart surgery to correct
her heart defect and this has now been done thanks to the
kindness of many people and she can now go on to lead a normal
life like any other dog. Olivia's new home will be as an only
dog as she wants to be the 'one and only' getting all of the
attention and will not share that attention with another dog.
Olivia's new owners cannot be full time working people leaving
her on her own all day as she will fret. The best home for
Olivia will be with a family who have children over 6 years of
age, a retired couple or single person. Olivia is a house dog
that is house trained and she must always have access to the
house via a doggy door or similar. Olivia has a coat that will
require regular grooming and tidying up to keep her looking
gorgeous. Olivia has so much love to give and should be ready
for adoption in early 2012.
UPDATE 1 DECEMBER: We are pleased to report that Olivia is now home, making good progress and recovering well from her surgery. Thanks to everyone who has enquired about Olivia and sent their good wishes for her recovery! UPDATE 23 DECEMBER: The latest wonderful news is that Olivia has been adopted by a retired couple from Kiama Downs. Terri and Sven adopted a PAWS dog 8 years ago but sadly she has just passed away. Olivia's journey will be featured on the next series of Bondi Vet and everyone who made it possible for Olivia to have her surgery will be able to see this special little girl for themselves. Thanks again everyone of you for helping Olivia get the chance to have a lovely new life with Terri and Sven ....

GUNNER Male Shih Tzu X Aged approx. 2 years Small size
What a character Gunner is, a great mix of Shih Tzu and terrier coat with a
gentle nature and an adventurous character. Everyone who meets Gunner loves
him! He is a house dog that is totally house trained with no mistakes since
coming to his foster carer's home and must have indoor access at all times.
Gunner loves the female dogs he is in care with and is great with children
and a baby also. He does not seem to have an aggressive bone in his body.
Gunner follows you everywhere and his favourite spot is under the computer
desk as you type away. He sleeps well, is not a night time barker, will sit
and wait for treats and is a very clever boy. Gunner loves to play and
chases a ball for ages but unfortunately he doesn't like to bring it back
and thinks he is very clever running off with it. Gunner's foster carer is
sure that he is laughing at her as he does this! He has been to the grooming
parlour and looks fabulous. Gunner would love a home with some children to
play with and also loves to go walking so a family who will take him out
would be the best for him.

Rolly is a gorgeous boy with big brown eyes that stare at you with pure love and adoration. He is a very confident little dog and gets all along with all of his foster family, including the resident dog and cat. Rolly knows some basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay' but still needs some leash training and also on re-call but apart from that he is a well behaved little boy. Rolly would love an active family who would play with him and walk (or run) him at least once a day. His favourite game is fetch, although he thinks his version of the game is better, which is get the ball then run around on his own for a while and then finally bring it back to you to throw again. He is OK being on his own but would love another dog to keep him company and a few chew toys too! Rolly’s coat is not too high maintenance if kept short, only needing a brush once a week or so.

Male Maltese X Aged approx. 6 years Small size
Wynston is developing into a lovely dog
which is great considering he came from a sad and lonely background.
Wynston must have been badly neglected and ignored in his previous life
and his matted, dirty coat came off in one lump like a fleece. He is
learning to relax and enjoy the finer things of a dog's life like regular
food and a decent bone as he does love his food. Another joy in Wynston's
life these days is having a warm doggy bed to curl up in with his two
foster doggy pals. He gets along well with the other dogs but does not
know yet how to play with them. He also had no idea what a walk was about
and the first time he was taken out just sat on the footpath and looked
puzzled! Wynston loves people and squeals with joy when his carer comes
home, racing around the yard telling the world how happy he is. Wynston
can jump on your lap and say hello but hasn't yet worked out that it is
also lovely to sleep there. He is quiet but likes a gentle wrestle on the
couch, not biting but just rolling around with you enjoying your company.
Having been ignored and neglected for so long, Wynston needs lots of
patience to learn to relate properly to people and a special home with
people who will teach him how to be a loved and pampered pooch. Wynsto
wouldn't mind being an only dog as long as his owner is not at work all
day. He is a house dog and his coat will regrow and then require regular
grooming and clipping.

Small size If Aunty Audrey was a person she’d be wearing a 'twin set and pearls'! She’s a grand old girl whose life took a downward turn at some point and she was sadly neglected when found in the Pound but the first thing she did was give a little lick to her rescuer. Once she had a dental and a clip, Aunty Audrey was much more comfortable and has been learning about the joys of sleeping in a comfy bed and sitting on laps. She now loves a cuddle and gives little kisses and is most enthusiastic about her food! Aunty Audrey is very sweet in nature and loves her doggy foster brothers and sisters. She also really loves a short walk down the road. Unfortunately Aunty Audrey has cataracts and is partially sighted but can make out things (especially food!) if they are not too far away. She is house trained and is learning the use of a doggy door. Aunty Audrey is generally very quiet but can get a little upset if left outside alone for a length of time as it might bring back bad memories.

Female Pug X A ged approx. 2 years
Small size Carly is lovely girl, who has settled into foster care well. She was a little hesitant at first but is now running around the back yard with her two doggy friends chasing a ball so another small dog for company is essential. Carly loves a scratch and a pat while gazing up at you with her beautiful puggy face but is not a demanding dog and has no problems with cats at all. She is house trained and has also mastered the doggy door. Carly doesn’t dig or bark unnecessarily and is good with her food. Walking on a lead seems to be new to her but, with gentle encouragement, she will be enjoying walks to the park in no time. When it comes to bed time, Carly curls up on her own bed next to her doggy friend and there she stays till morning. Carly would suit a range of homes and although small children may be a little daunting, kids over 8 years old would be fine. Carly will also require a small dog for company in her new home. UPDATE 15 OCTOBER: Carly has been in foster care for nearly two months now and she has achieved so much. Her carer's believe she has been used primarily for breeding so being allowed indoors and becoming part of any family is a new experience for her. Carly is continuing to blossom every day and tummy rubs are a new sensation as she has only been able to trust anyone to do that in the last few days. Carly gallops around the backyard chasing the ball with the other dogs. She won’t pick it up but seems to relish the experience ... room to move and dogs to chase so life is good! Carly loves a bit of a tussle and then a cuddle. She is a gentle soul who is still a little shy but would love someone to play and spend time with her. But most of all, Carly needs someone patient and willing to love and reassure her so she can become the confident, fun loving girl that she wants to be. Carly is not a 'needy' girl but just needs her faith in people restored. She gets along well with her foster carer's own two dogs and one moody cat.

Trouper is his name and what a little
trooper he is. Trouper was impounded at Renbury Farm Pound and the Ranger
who picked him up was so distressed at Trouper's appalling condition that
he contacted the Animal Welfare League inspectors to show them just how
neglected Trouper was. Of course the inspector could do nothing as Trouper
didn't have a microchip which would have led them back to his owner.
Trouper's coat was so matted and putrid that he could barely walk or see
and he was emaciated and downtrodden ... how he had suffered at the hands
of his previous owner(s). We saw Trouper on the Pound website and had no
hesitation in taking him into care. Trouper is on quite a regime at the
moment as his skin is infected and his coat was clipped off while he was
under anaesthetic to alleviate any further suffering. Trouper is in foster
care with a family who have three young children (click on photo
link below and another small dog. He is enjoying the new life with his
foster family who are doing everything they can to help Trouper recover
completely. He is a special diet to help his skin, antibiotics, a shampoo
that will help his skin to heal and all of the loving that his foster
family have to offer. Trouper took to being a house dog immediately, just
loving the couch and any spare laps available. We will see a vast
improvement in Trouper's skin quickly and he will gain weight and go on to
find a family who will look after him properly for the rest of his
life. Trouper's coat will grow back and he will require regular grooming
and clipping to keep him looking and feeling great. Trouper is a house dog

Pirate Pete is a wonderful little dog who
was brought into a vet clinic with a severe eye injury as he had been
attacked by another dog. Pirate Pete was not microchipped so his owner
could not be contacted and no one came forward to claim him. Pete served
his Pound time at the vet hospital under 'duty of care' and, when

other routine vet work done. Pirate Pete is now in foster care and his

adults and is living next door to a family who have four children and they
come each day and play with him and take him for walks. Pirate Pete will
be happiest if he is rehomed with a family who are active as he goes to
off leash parks and enjoys playing with the other dogs there. As he loves
children, we would like Pete's new family to have children who will love a
dog like Pete in their lives as he will sit on their laps and enjoy as
much cuddle time as possible. Pirate Pete is a real celebrity in and
around the foster carers neighbourhood and all of the children know him

house trained and he must always have access to the house. He does bark
at the neighbourhood cat when she sits on the fence and taunts him so we
think a home without a cat would be best. Pirate Pete would also like

Small size Little Jessie was found dumped in a canal covered in oil! Thankfully PAWS were able to take Jessie into foster care and give her all of the veterinary treatment that she required to make her happy and comfortable. She is now in foster care with a family who have two other Shih Tzus and is a very happy girl these days. Jessie uses the doggy door to go in and out, is house trained and is a very sweet little dog enjoying the company of her foster doggy friends. Jessie sleeps on a cushion beside her foster carer's bed and sleeps all night long. She goes out for walks with her foster carer and enjoys sniffing as she walks along. Jessie's new home must have another small dog for company, access to the house at all times and a family who will love her and give her all of the attention she needs and deserves. Jessie's coat will require regular grooming and clipping as it grows longer.

 MARCUS Male Cavalier Spaniel X Shih Tzu Aged approx. 4 years Medium size

is a gorgeous dog who we think looks rather like a mini sheepdog with
his appealing scruffy dog looks and a lovely personality to match.
Marcus would love a
home with a dog of similar size to be his friend and playmate. He
gets along well with all other dogs but is rather partial to the
company of 'the ladies' so a home with a female doggy friend for him
would be grand. Marcus must

 NELLIE Female Purebred Shih Tzu A ged approx. 2 yearsSmall size Nellie was extremely thin and underweight when she came to her foster carer and weighed only 4 kilos but, with lots of love and regular meals, she is starting to put on weight. For such a tiny dog, Nellie has a huge personality. She is brimming with confidence and is very alert and inquisitive. Nellie has become attached to all the members of her foster family and keeps them amused with her antics. She has lots of fun playing with her toys, especially her squeaky toy. She also loves a cuddle, and snuggling up on the lounge next to her carers, but she is also happy to sleep in her own bed at night. Much to the delight of her foster carer, Nellie has been absolutely fabulous with her house training. She has learned to use the doggy door and, while she definitely prefers being inside, will take herself outside several times during the day to have a run around the garden and to check what is going on outside. Nellie really enjoys her walks and, when her lead appears, dances on her back legs with excitement, and begs with her front paws. She is absolutely great to take for a walk as she is a very fast walker and does not waste any time at all sniffing as she just wants to see what is around the next corner. Nellie also loves a trip to the doggy park to chase the other dogs around and, for her, the bigger the better as she seems to love chasing the biggest dogs in the park. A home with owners who want to spend a lot of time with Nellie and give her the exercise she loves would be ideal. She would also do well with another doggy companion as they would spend many happy hours entertaining each other. Because she is a very tiny dog, a home with young children would not be suitable. Nellie is an inside dog but must have access to the outside at all times.

shaved due to a severely matted coat
but ,
despite her ordeal, Apple
has settled quickly and confidently into her foster home. Apple had
typical flu symptoms when she came from the Pound but a short run of
antibiotics have seen her become
more energetic as the days go by.
She is
quite underweight at

small dog and a very relaxed cat. Apple is particularly good with the
cat and they have curled up together every chance they get. Apple is
fantastic on leash but is still learning the basic commands of 'sit',
'stay' etc. She is also very good with her toileting and always wait’s
politely by the back door to be let out and has already learnt to hold
it over night! Apple is a little unsure of how to play
at the moment but with time, and a family who will actively
interact with her to
help
her understand
what fun is,
she will soon learn
that there is fun to be had. Apple
is definitely a lap dog as no lap is left uncovered for very long when
Apple is around! Apple is
an indoor dog who
must have access to the home via a doggy door or similar and she would
love a small companion to play with if her family are at work during the

his paw up for a shake to say 'thank you!' He's ideally suited to seniors
or retirees who now have older grandkids visiting. Monsieur's coat is the

 BENNY Male Maltese X Aged approx. 18 months Small size Benny is an absolutely stunning boy and feels like a fluffy teddy bear. He reminds his foster carers of a 'beanie bear' as he just flops into your arms, over your feet or anywhere he can! Benny has a beautiful coat and loves getting a good brush every day. This is his favourite time of the day when he just lays there as the glamorous king that he is and being pampered. Benny is a quiet boy who loves a nap wherever he is but his favourite spot is cradled in your arms! He is great with cats and other dogs but would be just as happy as an only dog as we think being the centre of attention would suit him just fine. Benny is in need of leash training as we don’t think he has had much, if any, experience of walking on one so slow but steady training will be needed. He is being walked in a harness as he does not like the feeling of the collar when attached to a leash. Although Benny looks very fluffy he is just skin and bone at present but is steadily putting on a bit of weight every day. Benny loves to play fetch and will chew on a bone or even your slippers (if left unattended) or even on your feet!. Benny will need daily grooming to keep his coat in tip-top condition. He will be a wonderful addition to his new forever home and is a house dog who must have access to the house via a doggy door or similar.

 KASPA Male Purebred Pug Aged approx. 2 years Small size Kaspa is an adorable Pug boy who has settled into his foster home brilliantly. He has a lovable nature and gets very excited to see his foster family when they return from work and school and runs around happily playing with his toys and generally showing off for them. Just like with excitable children he then flops down on his bed for a snooze which does not last long and then he is up to follow his foster mum around the house. Kaspa loves his food with a passion, is not fussy at all and enjoys whatever is put in front of him. He is well house trained and knows how to use a doggy door, taking himself outside when need be. Kaspa has a coat that will need regular brushing to minimise shedding and also high maintenance facial folds that will need to be cleaned every few days. Kaspa could be rehomed as an only dog provided he has lots of human company but another doggy friend would also be suitable. He gets along well with children which is typical of the Pug breed but may be too strong for very small children and those over the age of 10 years would be more suitable. Kaspa is a house dog and must always have access to indoors via a doggy door or similar.

We believe that Riley is going to grow into a large breed as her legs are very long at 4 months of age! Riley will need regular walks as she grows and puppy school would be great for her to learn some good puppy manners. She will also benefit from dog training as she is an active breed. The best home for Riley will be with a family who have another large breed dog for company if they are at work during the week.

Manuel is a very tiny, easy going
boy who is so playful that his foster carer thinks he is still a
young puppy rather than a two year old dog. Manuel is a very
confident little dog who is willing to play with anyone. When Manuel
was rescued from the Pound his coat was in a very matted state so he
was clipped back while under anaesthetic for his desexing and dental

warm. Manuel has embraced life in his foster home and loves to play
with his foster doggy friend Pedro, an ex-PAWS

dog park where he can run and play with a variety of dogs, all of
whom he loves without exception. Manuel's foster carer is teaching
him the basic commands such as sit, stay and high five! His house
training is coming along nicely and he cleverly lets his foster
carer know when he wants to go outside to toilet. The best home for
Manuel will be with another small dog for company and a family who
won't go out to work five days a week and leave him alone. Very

older children will be just fine. Manuel will have a gorgeous coat

Siobhan is truly the sweetest dog and so
very friendly and quiet. Before life with
PAWS
began,
Siobhan was used as a breeding machine by a backyard breeder
for money and was the last of many dogs rescued from this breeder by
PAWS. Her
foster carer saw Siobhan's beautiful litter of puppies whilst
collecting her and could do nothing to help them as they had already
been purchased by a well known pet shop chain under contract.
At least
PAWS
was able to get Siobhan out of there, if not her puppies. Siobhan loves
life and is certainly living it to the fullest. She enjoys
frolicking in the off leash dog park, sniffing in the reeds around the
duck pond and socialising with other dogs. Wherever Siobhan goes, and
whoever she meets, she puts a smile on everyone's face as she is super
friendly and not at all shy. Siobhan rides well in the car, walks
nicely on the lead and is obedient as well. In fact, this little
lady is really the perfect companion and very easy going. Siobhan
could be rehomed as an only dog as long as her family do not work long
hours leaving her alone all day as she dotes on people and would be
very lonely. Siobhan is a house dog and must always have indoor access
through a doggy door or similar. As her soft curly coat grows, she
will need regular brushing and grooming to keep her tangle free and

Male Maltese X Aged approx. 3 years Small size
Cooper came to
PAWS a
very sad and neglected dog. His owners had obviously not cared for him
for a long time as most of the hair was missing from his shoulders
down and he was riddled with fleas. Poor Cooper! He went from the
Pound to the very competent vet who had a plan to get Cooper into good
shape for rehoming. He has been having antibiotic
injections for his skin which have worked very well and, as
Cooper was extremely thin, he is being fed nutritious food that has
seen him go from a sick and skinny dog with no hair to a happy,
healthy dog with hair that is growing back quickly. Cooper has the
most wonderful temperament and sense of fun. His carer is now taking
him out on walks which he enjoys very much and he loves other dogs and
is always very happy to see them. Cooper is going to the local off
leash park which he finds the most fun in the world. Cooper's carer
thinks that his ideal home will be with a family who want a dog that
will be a good companion for children aged 7 years or older. Cooper
does not have a mean bone in his body and enjoys playing with his toys
and sleeping in his lovely comfy bed. Cooper is a joy in the car and
just lays down and goes to sleep. He is completely house trained and
sleeps all night through without a peep. Cooper is a house dog and

 BETTY Female Purebred Shih TzuAged approx. 7 years

Look at that face .... Beautiful
Betty is a lovely dog who is in the prime of her life. When
Betty arrived from the Pound it was obvious that she had never had
a dental in her entire life so the vet had to remove eight teeth
and also put Betty on a long course of antibiotics. Her mouth has
now cleared up completely and she
is able to eat her dinner with no issues
at all. Betty is a delightful dog who must have been in
pain with her teeth but she did not let that dampen her
spirits or her beautiful personality. She loves a cuddle
and, when you pick her up, puts her paws on your shoulders like
she is giving you a cuddle back. Her favourite place at the moment
is in front of the warm fire at night
.... no more being outside in the cold for Betty!
She needs access to the house 24/7 via a doggy door or
similar so she can be in the sun and enjoy the garden,
or inside the house snuggled up in her bed if she prefers. Betty is
fully house trained and loves going in the car
as she just snuggles down and enjoys the trip. Betty
walks well on the lead and has plenty of energy for long walks to
the coffee shop but does like you to take her own treat along as
well!
Betty is in care with three other small dogs, two
male and one female and there are no
problems with any of them.
Betty has a lovely soft coat which can be kept in good condition
with regular baths, brushing and
grooming to keep her looking at
her best. Whilst she would enjoy the company of another dog (not a
young one) Betty would be just as happy being a devoted companion
to a 'stay at home' couple. Beautiful Betty is not a barker and
would make a wonderful companion to someone looking for a kind
natured and mature lady.

Male Purebred Maltese Aged approx. 7 years Small size
Benjamin Button has the most wonderful temperament and his little tail
never, ever stops wagging. We can't believe that Benjamin Button's
owners left their little blind dog in the Pound and it's hard to
imagine how terrible that must have been for Benjamin having
lots of dog noise all around and not being able to see what was going
on.
Benjamin Button was an absolute favourite while in the Pound and the
kennel girls used to pick him up and give him special cuddles and all
the time his tail just wagged and wagged. Benjamin was so grateful for
the attention and showed the staff by having his waggly tail going at
100 miles an hour! Benjamin was not in good condition physically
when we got him and his ears have been infected for a long, long
time causing him considerable pain. His coat was also filthy, matted
and full of sores from flea bites. Benjamin went straight from the
Pound to the kind vet who assessed him and gave us a plan to get
Benjamin on the road to good health again. He is now on a regime of
antibiotics and ear drops but it's hard to get the drops into his
little ears because they have almost closed over. There is a tiny hole
there though and his foster carer is putting the drops in very
carefully each day. Once the infection has cleared from his ear canals
the vet will do surgery which is called an 'ear ablation' and that
will open his ears up so he should be free from further
infections. This surgery is costly but we feel that Benjamin Button
deserves a chance to be pain free. Benjamin now finds his way around
his foster carer's home without any problem at all and does not mind
the company of the other dogs in care with him although he does prefer
human attention. Benjamin has adapted to life with his foster carer
very easily and being blind doesn't seem to be an issue at all. He
just
listens to find out where you are and then makes a beeline straight
towards you!
UPDATE 3 MARCH: The vet has checked Benjamin Button's ears and it appears the drops have done their magic and he does not think Benjamin's ears now require the surgery. Thank you to his sponsors as your kind donations have helped pay for Benjamin Buttons' ear medication and cleanser.

When Gigi entered her foster home she was very sad, cold and lonely and
unfortunately her coat had to be clipped back severely due to matts and
tangles. Those days are now behind Gigi and, being a beautifully
affectionate and loving little dog, she has since perked up and enjoys
play time, meal time and nap time equally. Gigi is
not a big fan of walks at the moment but
it is early days and we expect that she will enjoy a walk once she is
taught that its a good thing. She is great with gentle children,
doesn't hesitate to crawl onto an empty lap, lounge, pillow or bed and
curl up to sleep and loves a cuddle from adults and children alike. Gigi
will follow you when out in the yard and have a good sniff around. She
knows the commands 'come', 'down', 'up' and 'wees'. and
gets along well with other dogs
and is happy to have them there as a doggy pal.
Gigi would love a home as someone's companion and a lap to curl up on and
a free hand to scratch her ear is Gigi's idea of heaven. She
travels in the car in a harness well and
would love a home with a family who won't go out and leave her for hours
on end. Another small dog for company would also be nice but is not
absolutely essential. When Gigi's coat grows again it will require regular

When Bono came from the Pound he was a skinny, matted and very neglected dog.
Bono could not have seen the inside of a house for a very long time as the smell
coming from him would have taken your breath away! He arrived at the vet clinic
and his transformation began. Bono was stripped of his matted coat while under
anaesthetic as that way he didn't have to suffer while the clippers were going
through his matted coat. When Bono woke up he would have felt so much better
without the matts pulling at his skin constantly which would have hurt him
terribly. Bono then went off to foster care with a very kind family who have two
other dogs and so his new life began. In spite of the hardship that he has been

had learned to use the doggy door, sit for treats, play nicely with his canine
foster siblings and walk on the lead. He will make a great companion in a house
or apartment and can be left on his own for periods without fretting. Bono would
probably do well as an only dog but is also happy with the company of his gentle
foster siblings during the day when his foster carers are at work (who he greets
lovingly on their return). Bono doesn't bark excessively so the neighbours will
hardly even know he's there! He is a dear, sweet boy who loves attention without
being demanding and watches his foster carers' every move and taking it all in.
Bono is good with other dogs and enjoys going to the dog park to explore and
sniff around. He travels very well in the car and sits up on the back seat
watching the world go by. Bono's favourite thing is his daily walk and he gets
very excited when you reach for the lead and he also loves sitting on your lap
watching TV. Bono snuggles up in his own bed next to his foster carers' bed and
sleeps through the night. He 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.

 CARNEGIE Male Terrier X Aged approx. 4 years Small size
Carnegie is a very dapper little fella - very calm and nothing phases
him. People, other dogs etc. are greeted all the same - he's a real
gentleman! Carnegie is ideally suited to retirees or a 'work from home'
owner as he loves to chill out near you but never intrudes. His coat is
the non-grooming type so just a good brush through once a week will keep
it in good shape between baths.

 ABIGAIL Female Purebred Maltese Aged approx. 8 months Small size
Abigail is a full on and lively young lady who is just out of
puppyhood. She's full of life but not quite old enough yet for formal
training. Abigail is ideally suited to an owner who has the time to
train her in the basic obedience commands and who has another young,
small doggy pal for her to play and energise with. Abigail's coat will
need clipping about four times a year and she was very well behaved at
her first visit to the groomers!

 BILLY Male Purebred Toy PoodleAged approx. 4 years
Toy size Billy is a very handsome looking boy who is friendly, happy and is an absolute smoocher! He just loves to snuggle up on your lap and will sleep there for as long as you’ll let him without moving a muscle. Billy is well behaved in the house, is house trained and uses the doggy door well. He’s excellent with his foster carer's children who are 6 and 8 years and if things get too rowdy for him he just puts himself to bed where he also sleeps the whole night through without a peep! Billy understands and follows basic commands such as 'sit' and 'stay' and will do this if being offered food by hand which he always takes gently. He is very bright and quick to learn and, in less than a week, was retrained not to get on the lounge. What a smart boy! Billy enjoys outings and gets very excited when he sees his lead appear. He travels well in the car but hasn’t been walked on the lead much so needs a little more practice. Billy is comfortable around other dogs of all sizes and would suit a variety of households however would be better suited to a family with kids over 8 years due to his tiny size. Billy would be happiest with someone who is home most of the time but would cope OK with a part time worker if he had another little doggy friend for company. Billy is going to make a wonderful companion to a very lucky someone! He is a house dog and has a high maintenance coat that will require regular grooming and clipping to keep him looking lovely.

 COCO Male Purebred Toy Poodle Aged approx. 4 years
Toy size Coco is an absolute character! He is very interested in keeping a keen eye on what’s going on and will often follow you around to ensure he doesn’t miss out on anything. Coco loves nothing more than to snuggle up on your lap but is equally happy in his doggy bed where he also sleeps the whole night through without a sound. Coco is house trained and uses a doggy door well. He is not a fussy eater and is able to sit and stay before taking food gently when offered it by hand. Coco is excellent with his foster carers children aged 6 and 8 and likes to be a part of the action. He enjoys a bit of gentle rough play and gets crazily excited when he sees his lead being picked up. Coco enjoys being out and about and travels well in the car, although he needs more practice at walking on a lead correctly but is a super fast learner. He is comfortable around other dogs of all sizes and would suit a variety of households but would probably be better suited to a family with kids over 8 years due to his tiny size. As he is so fond of people, Coco would be happiest with someone who is home most of the time but he’d cope with living a part time worker if he had another little doggy friend for company. Coco is a real sweetheart that’s just looking for a human best friend to love and adore. Coco is a house dog and has a high maintenance coat that will require regular grooming and clipping to keep him looking lovely.

 BOO Male Shih Tzu X Maltese Puppy Aged approx. 3 months Small size (when fully grown) Boo is a typical happy, bouncy puppy who is full of fun and puppy mischief. He gets along really well with other dogs and delights in playing doggy games with the resident Shih Tzu in his foster home. Boo is so willing to please, he loves a tummy tickle, a cuddle and is very partial to being brushed. He has a good appetite, he eats his meals without fuss and come night time he curls up on his carers bed and sleeps all nights. Boo was a little shy when he first arrived in foster care but has very quickly gained confidence. He has already learnt to walk on the lead and has had his first visit to the doggy beach which he enjoyed immensely. Boo is a clever boy and would love to go to puppy training and learn new things. He has a gorgeous coat with the most beautiful rich caramel and white colouring with black tipping that will require regular grooming to keep him tidy and knot free. Boo is a house puppy who would love to share his new home and become best buddies with another playful dog of similar size.

Male Purebred Maltese Aged approx. 18 months
Small size
Sadly, as is typical with so many of the
dogs who find themselves in the Pound, Sam was in an appalling state and we very
much doubt he had ever been groomed in his life. His coat was so tightly matted
it was pulling his skin and would have been causing him pain every time he
moved. The kindest thing for Sam was to completely shave his coat and this was
done whilst he was under anaesthetic for desexing. Needless to say, Sam is
feeling much better now and looks like a different dog. As Sam’s coat grows he
will require regular grooming and clipping to ensure he never ends up a matted
mess again. Sam has settled into his foster home extremely well. He has a very
sweet nature, is affectionate, loves cuddles on the sofa, is great with the
children and loves to play and play with his foster carer’s dog, a Cavalier X.
Sam is a house dog who is used to having access to the house and yard, He is
housetrained, enjoys his food, loves to get out for a walk and is very social
with other people and friendly to the dogs he meets. Sam would make a wonderful
addition to a family with children 5 years plus who have another small desexed
dog to be his companion and playmate.

Female Maltese X Shih Tzu Aged approx. 15 months Small size Busy, busy, busy is the best way to describe little Clara who is always on the go. Zooming around the house is so much fun and playing chasies out the front is a blast! Clara is a cheeky girl and just loves everyone she meets. Her favourite activity is galloping around the off leash park greeting all the dogs, then joining in all the fun and games. Clara may be an active dog, however she does enjoy cuddling beside you on the lounge and will look into your eyes with pure adoration. Clara will sit by your side for hours, listening attentively to your every word. Dear little Clara is so delighted when you return home that she welcomes you with a cute little dance and trots around on her tippy - toes. She has the prettiest little ears and the curliest, wagging tail and wears a big smile because she is simply gorgeous and she knows it! You could say that Clara likes to 'strut her stuff' and doesn't miss a beat. She is house trained, doesn't bark much and is great on the lead. We would like to rehome her with another small desexed dog as she does love to play and socialise. Clara is not good with cats so a feline-free home would be best for her. Clara will only be rehomed as a house dog and must have outdoor access through a doggy door or similar. Regular brushing and grooming is essential to keep Clara looking absolutely fabulous!

 CHARLENE Female Maltese X Shih Tzu Aged approx. 3 years Small size Charlene arrived in foster care a very sad and frightened little dog who appeared to have no idea of what it was like to be loved. Well a few weeks have passed and life is now wonderful! Charlene has gained confidence and also learnt to walk on the lead, something she had obviously never done before, and has discovered the joy of playing with toys. Charlene is enjoying a daily romp at the dog park, running and playing with the other dogs both big and small and comes when called when it's time to go home. Charlene is affectionate and loves a cuddle. She likes to follow her foster carer around when she is home but otherwise is quite content to spend her time with her doggy foster friend, another little Shih Tzu X. Charlene is a good eater and always quickly finishes whatever is put in front of her as she knows that after dinner it is walk time which seems to be the highlight of her day. Charlene is a house dog and has very quickly learnt to use the doggy door. She is best suited to a home with another small desexed dog to be her companion if her new family are busy with work and school. Charlene's coat has recently been clipped right off but as it grows she will require regular grooming and clipping.

Male Purebred Lhasa Apso Aged approx. 5 years Small size Schnitzel is a very good dog, quiet and calm and always pleased to see you when you return home from work. He gets on well with other dogs, enjoys going for his twice daily walk to the dog park and walks very well on the lead. Schnitzel is a little quiet when he first meets new dogs at the doggy park but brightens up in no time. He really loves human company and having his belly tickled. Schnitzel currently lives with another small dog that was a PAWS rescue adopted by their foster carers and they love to play together so we would like to see Schnitzel find a home with another small dog for company if his owner is at work all day. Schnitzel is particularly fond of his squeaky bone toy and loves to chew on this. He is a house dog who is fully house trained and will make a lovely addition to your family. Schnitzel has a beautiful coat that is high maintenance and will require regular brushing and trips to the groomer for a clip to keep it looking lovely.

 HEATH Male Maltese X Aged approx. 12 months

Heath's foster carer thinks
that Heath is an adorable, bright and extremely affectionate little dog so how
did he end up in the Pound? Heath loves all humans and has no hesitation in
showing you how much. He follows his foster carer everywhere and takes every
opportunity to climb up on laps for a cuddle. He also loves to snuggle in bed
with his carer and does not move or make a sound till morning. Heath is
learning basic commands like 'sit', 'down' and 'wait' and is doing very well
with his house training so should have it down pat in no time flat. Heath
would love a home with a family who like to go for walks and trips to the park
to meet other dogs and people and who have gentle children over 8
years. Heath is a house dog with a coat that will require grooming and
brushing to keep it looking and feeling great.

Small size Madeline is a friendly, cheeky, active, social young dog with lots of love to give. She loves spending time with her foster family, especially the young children and snuggles and cuddles up with them while they're watching TV and thoroughly enjoys the attention. Madeline also lives with two other dogs and cats and enjoys chasing the cats trying to entice them to play with her. Madeline is doing extremely well with her house training and uses the doggy door with ease. She will be fine as an only dog with someone who does not go out to work every day of the week and must go to a home where she will have indoor access by a doggy door or similar at all times. Madeline has a soft, silky, fluffy coat that will require regular brushing and grooming to keep her tangle free and looking great.

Female Pomeranian X Tibetan SpanielAged approx. 8 years
Small size
'Divine' is the best word to describe
Celeste according to her foster carer. Celeste has the sweetest nature and is so
affectionate - her favourite position is on her back across your lap, eyes
closed in bliss! She loves being close to you and will follow you round the
house and garden as you do your chores. As soon as you sit down, she just loves
to join you. Celeste has a magnificent fox coloured coat that will need regular
brushing and professional grooming occasionally.She has a coat similar to a
Pomeranian and arrived with long term matting. Celeste is housetrained and loves
other dogs, both male and female. She doesn't seem to have been walked on a lead
very much but is fine and enjoys a 20 min walk round the block. Celeste has
plenty of energy to play with the other dogs but won't bother you if it is
raining and you can't go out for a walk. She came from a home with another dog
and would probably not cope as an only dog. Celeste has a "floating cataract"
and is off to the opthalmologist for a diagnosis and we are hoping that he can
operate on the cataract then Celeste will have good vision in both eyes.
