PAWS Private Adoption  (Free to a Good Home) 

Last updated Thursday, 02 September 2010 05:30 PM

PLEASE REFRESH YOUR PAGE TO OBTAIN THE LATEST UPDATE!!
 

FINDING A NEW HOME FOR YOUR PET

Every day PAWS rescuers receive phone calls and emails from people asking us to take their dogs (and occasionally cats) into foster care and find them new homes. On occasions there are more people wanting to surrender their pets to us than adopt one from us! 

Some people are genuinely unable to keep their dog or cat due to financial hardship. Others may have ended up with an elderly relative's pet after they died or gone into care. However on many occasions their owners just want to be saved the expense, inconvenience or guilt of taking the pet to the Pound.

Unfortunately we are rarely able to help these people owing to the shortage of foster carers. We do however sometimes accept private adverts for 'free to good home" to our supporters. If your ad is accepted, your pet will also be advertised on the Pet Rescue website www.petrescue.com.au which is available for the public to view but not to advertise their dogs. PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT ACCEPT ADVERTS FOR DOGS OR CATS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN DESEXED AND MICROCHIPPED AND WE ADVERTISE IN GOOD FAITH ASSUMING YOU ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO REHOME THE ANIMAL!

Please do not contact us telling us you are moving into a unit in 2 or 3 weeks time (or moving interstate or overseas) and need the animal gone by then. The animals advertised here need to be given time so that the most suitable home can be found for them and that can often take a while!

The first step is to send an email to privateadoption@paws.com.au with some general information about your pet eg. breed, age, size (refer chart below for dogs), what vet work they have had done (desexing, microchipping, up-to-date vaccinations, worming, heartworm and flea prevention etc), whether they have lifetime Council registration (NSW residents only) and why you need to find them a new home. If accepted, we will also then need you to email a close-up digital (jpeg format) photo of your pet in (preferably where they are looking straight at the camera) and a brief story with information about their personality and temperament. Remember to also include your own name, phone number and e-mail address for enquiries and the suburb in NSW where the pet can be visited.

IMPORTANT: Due to the amount of spam mail we receive, when emailing us please put Private Adoption Enquiry in the Subject Heading!

The Companion Animal Act requires that cats and dogs be microchipped before rehoming and it is the responsibility of the advertiser to ensure this is complied with. We will continue to advertise your pet until it finds a suitable home so, in order to keep the information on this page current, we would appreciate notification if and when the animal has been rehomed. This applies irregardless of whether the rehoming was initiated by the advert on this website or by other means.

We also reserve the right to remove the advert at any time if we find you have misrepresented your animal's physical state, behaviour or temperament to us. If at any time PAWS is unable to contact you because you have changed your phone number and/or email address then we have no option but to remove your ad to avoid potential adoptors being disappointed and having their time wasted! The ad will however be reinstated if you contact us again with your current details.

PLEASE NOTE PAWS IS UNABLE TO TAKE PETS ADVERTISED ON THIS PAGE INTO FOSTER CARE. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO CONTINUE LOOKING AFTER THEM UNTIL A NEW HOME CAN BE FOUND.

ADOPTING A PET

If you are interested in adopting one of the pets advertised below please note the following:

All of the animals shown below are available through private sources and are in Sydney, NSW unless otherwise stated.  Please contact the owners directly using the details provided to find out more information about the particular dog or cat you are interested in.

Please note that  PAWS is not affiliated with the advertisers in any way, other than as a provider of advertising space. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the breed, age, health, temperament or condition of any of the animals appearing on this page. As we do not physically see the dogs it is the new owner's responsibility to ask for proof of desexing, microchipping, current vaccination etc. If we are told by the advertiser that these things have been done then we will advertise the animal as such IN GOOD FAITH!! It is also the new owner's responsibility to handle the 'change of ownership' paperwork with their local Council.

PAWS does not give any guarantee or endorsement of the accuracy of the information given nor that the advertisers will fulfil their obligations or claims.
 

If you see this image on a listing it means the dog has been adopted and is undergoing it's two week trial so please do not phone or email about it. If the dog becomes available again the sign will be removed!

EVIE

Female Great Dane X Irish Wolfhound

Aged approx. 2 years

Extra Large size

Evie is looking for a new home as her owner has multiple sclerosis and can no longer walk Evie or give her the attention she needs and deserves. Evie was found at the dump as a 6 week old puppy on Christmas Eve 2008 and her family say she has grown up to be a wonderful dog who believes she is a human too. Evie is very spoilt and adores attention. She loves kids of all ages and is VERY gentle with little ones, considering her size. Evie loves playing with humans and other dogs and currently lives with another dog with whom she is great mates so ideally would like a home with another doggy pal. Evie loves to go for long walks and would suit a family who has the time to love, care, exercise and play with her everyday. She is house trained and used to sleeping inside so needs a home where this will continue and where she will be considered part of the family.

Evie comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and is FREE TO A GOOD HOME. If you would like more information on Evie or to arrange to meet her, please phone Summer on 0434 248885 or Wendy on 0415 244637 or email using PRIVATE ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading. Please note, Evie is now in temporary care in Paddington.

REHOMED OR WITHDRAWN PETS

WIDGET

Female Jack Russell Terrier X Maltese

Aged approx. 4 years

Small size

Widget is looking for a new home as her owners will be travelling overseas for an extended period. She weighs around 5 kilos and has a white coat with the Jack Russell brown and tan patches. Widget has a quiet temperament and is initially timid with strangers but warms up once she has checked them out in her own time and sees that her 'human pack' have accepted them. She takes time to warm up to people and will avoid people who push themselves at her, preferring to check them out and wag her tail and sit next to them when she is ready. As an 8 month old Pound puppy, it was clear that Widget had been mistreated and was extremely timid. She was initially unable to tolerate eating in anyone's presence, being patted or accepting food from the hand and had obviously never been on a lead. Now, she fully trusts her family and extended family and spends her time on a lap or someone’s bed when she can. She also loves her walks and eats anything that is shared with her. Widget has lived her whole life with another larger dog, two adults and a teenager in Hunters Hill, Sydney so she is used to adults and other dogs. She 'dog wrestles' with Tilly (who is three times her size) but doesn’t like sudden movement or surprises making a home with children unsuitable for her. Widget must have access to outside as she is not fully house trained so the door is always left open for her to go outside when she needs to. Widget is also used to spending time at a farm and she likes bounding over long grass around the fields and chasing the odd cow so she would also be suitable for a larger property where there are other dogs to play with. Widget loves to play fetch but hasn’t quite nailed the 'return' bit! She will bark at a stranger ringing the door bell, or someone looming over her that she doesn’t know, but she is not a yappy dog. Her family have already found a new home for their Kelpie X Tilly but now need to find a home for Widget.  She is a quiet, very sweet and loving little girl and she needs an owner who understands shy dogs. In return, they will be rewarded with her love and loyalty. The best home for Widget will be with a retired couple who don't have lots of comings and goings and definitely no noisy grandchildren visiting.  Widget will be happy to share her day with her family and give lots of love in return.

WITHDRAWN FROM ADOPTION

DAPPLE

Male Fox Terrier X

Aged approx. 4 years

Small size

Dapple (Daps) is an energetic and happy little fellow who LOVES fetching and running. He has a great personality and is really calm and snugly when he comes inside and play time is over. Dapple does not bark or yap but does bounce around when excited! Dapple needs a house with energetic people who want to walk him or throw a ball in the park every day and also a secure yard with some space to run around. His family feel it is best to find him a more suitable home as they have just bought a house that does not have a yard and Dapple is not suited to the courtyard living at their new place. They love Daps very much and would be happy for a trial period to make sure he is in the right home. Dapple is in good health is a small dog weighing around 9kg. Dapple needs to be part of the family and to be inside when people are home. He is best suited for active people who have time for him and do not have young children or other pets. Dapple is an 'alpha male' and would benefit from ongoing training.

LINCOLN AND EMILY
 

Male and Female Purebred Cocker Spaniels

Aged approx. 10 years

Medium size

 

Lincoln and Emily have found themselves homeless due to a relationship breakup.  Their owner has left the country and originally planned to fly them out shortly after but unfortunately that was 18 months ago. The carer was only supposed to have them a couple of weeks but, when given the instruction to have them euthanased recently, decided to try and find them a loving home. Lincoln and Emily are brother and sister from the same litter and last visited a vet in March for their annual vaccination and check up. They are both in good health for their age but, as is common in older dogs (and people!), Lincoln’s eyesight is not what it used to be. They are very gentle dogs and live together with another dog, a cat and a cockatiel that wanders amongst them all without harm. Lincoln and Emily would love to go to a home together that will allow them to be inside as part of the family and would enjoy short daily walks.They need someone to keep an eye on their ears (spaniels require this as a breed) and keep their coats brushed. Lincoln and Emily have not been housetrained as they have mainly lived outside but a PAWS representative will provide assistance to anyone that wishes to adopt them should that be necessary.  It only takes a few days of reward and positive reinforcement and dogs can be housetrained at any age using the right method. 

Lincoln and Emily come desexed, microchipped, currently vaccinated and are FREE TO A GOOD HOME. If you would like more information on Lincoln and Emily or to arrange to meet them, please phone Jane on 0422 498960 or email using PRIVATE ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check the Private Adoptions page on www.paws.com.au for any updated photos and stories and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption.

She recently had her vet check up where she received worming and flea treatments and was given a clean bill of health. Meisha is a very sweet, loving companion who loves to sit on your lap and have a cuddle. A new home is required for Meisha as her owner is going overseas and is willing to pay any transport costs involved in getting Meisha to you.

CHLOE

Female Boxer X Mastiff

Aged approx. 6 years

Large size

Chloe and Ruby's owner can no longer care for them due to a marital breakup so they are looking for a new home. Chloe is very placid in nature, loving, loyal and obedient, loves people and really needs human company. Ruby, like all of her breed, is active and independent and she loves to play with balls and explore. Both dogs are fully house trained and have had basic puppy school training  so are both obedient. They love getting out and about for walks but are just as happy lazing about. They have had lots of socialisation from a young age, are great with people and generally good with other dogs. They are both up to date with vaccinations, worming and heartworm prevention.

UPDATE 11 MARCH: Ruby has a new home but Chloe is still available.

Chloe comes desexed, microchipped, currently vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and is FREE TO A GOOD HOME.

BELLE

Female German Shepherd X Red Cattle Dog

Aged approx. 3 years

Large size

Belle is a very lovely, energetic dog who enjoys lots of attention and will give you more back than you give to her, particularly in the lick department. She loves runs in the park and enjoys playing games at any time. Belle is very affectionate and loyal to people but has no experience of living with other animals so is probably best as an only pet. Belle is happy to be indoors and will sit beside you playing with her plastic bone if you are busy. She is quite comfortable around children and if you are looking for a loyal, loving companion then look no further than beautiful Belle.
 

Listed 16 March  - 28 June

 

LEO

Male Purebred German Shepherd

Aged approx. 3 years

Large size

Leo's owner adopted him from the Pound two years ago but is now planning to sell his property and move to a house where sadly there will be no room for Leo. He is an wonderful, energetic and gentle giant who enjoys loads of attention, loves people and being around them at all times. Leo loves his walks, playing "fetch", and runs in designated off-leash areas in the park. He is always happy to play games and goes full out all the time but when not running around he is happy to just lie with you and sleep. Leo is very easy to train and listens to every command willingly. He is extremely well mannered, although does get over excited and jumpy at times. Leo loves to shake hands and is always willing to do so. He also loves playing with other dogs and will preferably need a home with another large breed dog. He needs a home where there are other dogs to play with or someone who will give him all the love and attention he so rightfully deserves and craves or he can become bored and mischievous!

FISH


Male Brindle Staffy X Kelpie

Aged approx. 5 years

Medium size

 



CHIPS

Female Fawn Labrador X Kelpie

Aged approx. 5 years

Medium size

 

Fish and Chips are brother and sister who were rescued from the RSPCA at 8 weeks and have been their owners beloved friends since 2004. She is devastated that she now has to find them a new home as she and her newborn daughter have to move in with family and the dogs can't come with her. Fish is cheeky and lively and loves his ball and walks while Chips is sweet and sensitive. She is a little timid at times but still loves her walks, her ball and lots of cuddles. Fish and Chips love each other dearly and are both very smart and can be easily trained. They both went to puppy preschool and will sit when asked. They have not grown up with children and get a little frightened of small kids so would be best placed with older kids and adults. Fish and Chips love visitors and company and walk well both on lead and off. They like other dogs in the park but would rather do their own thing with the ball and their owner. Fish and Chips currently sleep inside and have a doggy door they use to come in and out.

Fish and Chips would love to get a new home together but their owner would consider separating them if necessary.

OBE

Male Pomeranian X

Aged approx. 3 years

Small size

Obe is looking for a new home due to a change in his owner's circumstances. Obe is a very social little dog who likes the company of other dogs and gets on well with them. He also likes his food and is not a fussy eater. Obe is used to having dry biscuits with cooked rice and semi lean minced meat (cooked) or chicken. He would be best suited to a grown up family as he doesn’t really liked to be grabbed hold of so a home where any children are over 10 years would be preferable. Obe is a very loyal dog and loves to follow you around the house and go wherever you go.

MAC AND WHOOPI

Their needs are minimal, just a warm bed, to be house Pugs and some loving humans to call their own again. Whoopi and Mac are currently in a foster home but their carer is going overseas shortly so they urgently need a new home or another carer.

Both aged approx. 8 years

Short Haired

               

Lotje (official name Djindi) and Vetertje (official name Jordi) are looking for a new home together due to a change in their owner's personal circumstances. Unfortunately in their current situation they have to be confined indoors and they are not coping with the change well. They need a home where they can go outdoors during the day (but not close to a main road). They have big bells on so they don't catch birds and are not allowed to stay out overnight . Lotje and Vetertje are playful, gentle and affectionate cats who are both litter trained. They are brother and sister and play and sleep together all the time. Lotje and Vetertje just love to cuddle up to your neck or sleep on your lap. They like to be with people and need to be in a home where they can get lots of hugs and attention. Both cats love lying in the sun or roaming around the house. They are good with young children but don't like dogs or other pets in the same house. Lotje and Vetertje don't know a life without each other so cannot be separated.

COSY

Male
Dachshund X

Aged approx. 12 years

Small size

Cosy’s owner had to move house and was unable to find anywhere that would allow Cosy to come too. A kind temporary home was found and Cosy has settled in very quickly and thrived. He loves children and is used to living with other dogs, is fully housetrained and, apart from people, his favourite thing in life is a walk round the block. Cosy doesn’t trouble the family’s guinea pigs and is generally a very well behaved, loving and quiet boy who weighs about 10 kilos and has shortish legs. Cosy is not a fussy eater and has an easy care, short coat. He is a house dog who is all ready for a permanent loving home as, although his temporary carers love him dearly, they unfortunately cannot keep him.

SUNSHINE

Female Maltese X Toy Poodle

EVA

Female Staffy X Ridgeback

Aged approx. 11 months

Medium size

It is with great sadness that the owner of beautiful Eva needs to find her a new home as she has been unable to find a rental property that will accept pets. Eva is a very friendly and happy puppy who loves people and loves to play with other dogs. Some of her favourite things to do are: play with her toys, play with people, go to the dog park (this would be her number one!), go for a walks, chase her ball in the park or backyard and sleep on her beanbag. Eva plays well with other dogs and although she gets very excited, she is very gentle. She seems to be quite gentle with children but at times she can be a bit boisterous. Eva needs to go to a home where she will get a lot of attention and preferably to a home with no other dogs. She is used to lots of cuddles and games and sleeping inside at night (in the laundry). Eva needs regular exercise as she is very active and needs to keep fit. If you do not take her for walks or take her to the park at least three times a week she may start to dig holes in the garden because she is bored. Eva likes to talk, especially when she plays, is excited or when she is sleepy and when she yawns she makes the cutest sound. Eva has had some 'one-on-one' sessions with a dog trainer and for a puppy she is quite well behaved. Her recall is quite good but still needs a little work. She sits, shakes paws and jumps up on command and, when it is dinner time, Eva sits by her bowl, shakes your hand and waits until the count of three before she eats her food. If you are interested in giving this gorgeous puppy a nice home then please contact Leah.

SPARKY

Male Purebred English Fox Terrier

Aged approx. 7 years

Small size (10kg)

Sparky originally came from a Pound and is very energetic and in good health. He has had basic obedience training (sit, stay, drop etc.) and this is usually reinforced whilst on his daily walk. Sparky is able to run off leash when in an approved area like a dog park or beach and just loves to play fetch and chase anything that moves quickly. He is used to lots of attention, hugs and cuddles and loves to be around his human family. Sparky is used to sleeping indoors on his own bed at night, although he may try and sneak into your bedroom or onto the couch! He needs a secure yard for daytime play and a family with older children and no cats would be most suitable. Sparky can be rehomed on his own if his new owners are not at work all day every day. but prefers female (dog) company and a dog around his own size.  Sparky is a house dog and must be rehomed as one.

Female Kelpie X Border Collie

Aged approx. 6 years

Medium size

Maggie is a delightful mature girl who still has energy to burn and isn't quite ready for a life of retirement! She has a super friendly nature and loves people and other dogs. Maggie would make a terrific companion for another mature dog. She is well mannered and travels beautifully in the car, although she's quite partial to having the wind in her face during the ride! Maggie walks well on a lead and has pretty good recall. She was previously in a home with six children so is well mannered around them. She is a happy little cherub who deserves a lovely new home where she will be included in family activities and have regular exercise.

TURBO AND MINDY

Male Purebred Mini Fox Terrier

Both aged approx. 6 years

Small size

Turbo and Mindy were adopted from PAWS back in 2006 but now their owners have divorced and neither party could find room in their lives for them. Fortunately, this little pair of doggies are still devoted to each other and we're committed to finding a forever home for them together. Turbo and Mindy are ideally suited to active retirees who'd like 'his and hers' doggy pals as two loving companions to share their lifestyle. If they had to spend the odd day on their own they would enjoy each other's company until someone comes home. Turbo and Mindy are also very good with children so they'd welcome a visit from the grandkids on a regular basis. Even though all of their vet work was done when first rescued and their C5 Vaccinations are up to date, we'll be very vigilant that they go to a stable, loving home as they're barely half way through their life expectancy.

TYSON

Male Labrador X Husky

Aged approx. 8 years

Large size

Tyson is a very friendly dog who is great with people and other dogs. He is housetrained, sits, shakes hands, lays down on command and has had Hanrob training! He loves a daily walk and walks well on the lead. Tyson is 8 years old with many years ahead of him, although he looks a little old due to the grey on his muzzle. His current owners have had him since he was a puppy but recently had a baby and found they no longer had time for Tyson. He is well behaved in the car and enjoys going out for a drive. Tyson is looking for a home where he will live inside as part of the household and have a well fenced garden to run around in. Tyson would fit into most homes but as he’s a bigger dog, it’s probably preferable for children to be a little older, i.e. no toddlers.

Tyson comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on flea prevention and is FREE TO A GOOD HOME. If you would like more information on Tyson or to arrange to meet him, please phone Jane on 0422 498960  or email using PRIVATE ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading.

Feebie is used to lots of attention, hugs and cuddles and loves to be around her human family. She is used to sleeping indoors on her own bed at night, although she may try and sneak into your bedroom or onto the couch! Feebie needs a secure yard for daytime play and a family with older children and no cats would be most suitable. If not rehomed with Sparky, she will need to go where there is another doggy playmate, or alternatively, to a home with a human who is around a lot as Feebie would not like to be left completely alone.

FINN

Male Foxy X (Dachshund ?)

Aged approx. 7 years

Small size

 

Finn is a very handsome boy who is very people-friendly and craves affection. He knows 'sit' and walks nicely on lead, is working on his house-manners and ao his toileting is improving. Finn is happiest curled up inside with people and OK with adult dogs but prefers not to be hassled in a large group so would rather be by himself in a quiet spot. Finn is definitely not suitable for a home with small animals or birds (including poultry) as he has a very strong prey drive. Finn is a house dog and needs a home where he will be the only dog, or has another older, gentle dog for company. He has a low maintenance coat that just needs regular brushing to keep Finn looking his best.

Aged approx. 9 years

Short Haired

Rusty is an affectionate cat with lots of character who is house trained and likes to be both indoors and outdoors. He recently had his check up at the vet where he received worming and flea treatments, had his teeth cleaned and scaled and was given a clean bill of health. Rusty, like most cats, has an independent nature but nevertheless is great company. He likes to stretch out somewhere near-by and occasionally come over for a pat or cuddle and 'talk' to you. A new home is required for Rusty as his owner is going overseas and is willing to pay any transport costs involved in getting Rusty to you.

Rusty comes desexed and microchipped and is FREE TO A GOOD HOME. If you would like more information on Rusty or to arrange to meet him, please phone Shareen on 02 96644838 or email using PRIVATE ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading.Before phoning or emailing, please check the Private Adoptions page on www.paws.com.au for any updated photos and stories and to make sure this cat is still available for adoption.
