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 for dogs with a sound temperament. 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 pets 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 pet has been adopted and is

Jasper and Lilly's mum
passed away in early March and her wishes were that they are never to be
separated. After losing their mum it would be too much for them to also
handle losing each other. Jasper has pancreatitis but it's controlled by
diet and not medication so there are no added vet or health costs than that
of a healthy dog. They have beautiful natures and love living the indoor
life. Jasper is a little shy around kids but will socialise with them once
he gets to know them and Lilly is extremely affectionate. She loves chasing
the ball and both of them like going for a short walk to the park. Jasper
and Lilly can be transported to any towns between Armidale and Melbourne
(and possibly other times by arrangement) if a loving home can be found
before 9 May when they will have to leave their current home. They can also
have a trial period in their new home if return transport is arranged by the
new owner. Jasper and Lilly come desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and wormed and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration and are FREE TO A GOOD HOME. If you would like more information on Jasper and Lilly or to arrange to meet them, please phone Scott or Tanya on 02 56176619 or either 0402 854029 or 0412 370981 or email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading.

HARLEY Male Purebred Shih Tzu Aged approx. 11 years Small size
This little man is a
real sweetheart and simply gorgeous! Harley is a gentle, friendly, playful
boy who just adores cuddles and kisses, is people and dog social, very
quiet and very easy going. He loves his food (and is slightly on the
chubby side) but enjoys a nice walk. Harley has been reluctantly
surrendered by his owners due to a change in living circumstances, but has
settled into care easily and is just a happy little chap really. Harley
has 'dry eye' which is much the same as the condition that some people
have and just means there are insufficient tears to lubricate and nourish
the eye. Harley will require daily medicated eye drops and lubricant to
make him comfortable but this can be purchased from the chemist. Harley's
ideal home is one where he has regular human company, either a retired,
semi-retired or 'work from home' situation. Harley has a soft, low
shedding coat that will require regular professional grooming. Harley comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and on heartworm prevention and is FREE TO A GOOD HOME. He is not available for adoption outside NSW and has had a recent dental (teeth cleaned under anaesthetic). If you would like more information on Harley or to arrange to meet him, please phone Tania on 0407 994295 (between 8am and 7pm only) or email using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check www.paws.com.au for any updated photos and stories and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption. Listed 8 April

JULIE
GUS
Julie and her pal, Gus
have been surrendered due to a change in their owner’s circumstances. Both
doggies are very smart having been through extensive obedience training and
Julie is so clever she would be just brilliant competing in agility
competitions. We're sure Gus would be more than happy to cheer Julie on with
his 'yodelling' from the sidelines!! Because of the Bearded Collie’s
athletic traits, a secure yard with 6 foot colourbond fencing is required
for Julie and Gus and a home inspection will be done to check on yard
security prior to rehoming. Both dogs have low maintenance coats that just
need a quick brush through each week. Julie and Gus come desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with NSW Local Council lifetime registration. They come FREE TO A GOOD HOME and are not available for adoption outside NSW. If you would like more information on Julie and Gus or to arrange to meet them, please phone Ronda on 02 49308015 or 0418 123852 (between 8am and 7pm only) or email her using ADOPTION ENQUIRY as your Subject Heading.

Female Mini Foxy X Aged approx. 13 years
Small size This extremely sweet little girl was owned by an elderly woman who recently moved into a nursing home and her family callously dumped poor little Trixie in a country Pound knowing she would most certainly die. Trixie was covered in fleas and very skinny and PAWS was alerted that this beautiful little dog needed help. She is bright, alert, loves cuddles and curling up on your lap and happy to wander around the garden or go for short walks. Trixie would love to spend her twilight years with 'her special person' who will love her, pat and give her kisses. When Trixie arrived at the vets she was found to have two small mammary tumours so x-rays were done and she was given the all clear so the tumours were removed. In true Trixie fashion, she was up and about and looking for cuddles soon after her surgery. Trixie has a low maintenance, shedding coat and she is very light with longer little legs. She is ready now and looking for love! Trixie's new owner will be very lucky to have the company of this very special little girl!

Stella's owner is heading overseas for an extended period and can’t take her beloved dog with her so Stella is looking for a new home. Like all Cattle Dogs, she is active (even in old age), extremely loyal, intelligent and robust. Stella is large for her breed at 23kg and is a happy dog that spends most of her time lying around on her favourite chair. And apart from barking to alert you when new people come to the door, she is pretty quiet. Stella does need regular exercise so will take as many walks as she can get and is presently walked every morning for about 20-30 minutes. Stella can get by without a walk occasionally but gets pretty restless after a day without one. She is used to being around lots of people and, whilst suspicious towards strangers, is very social with people she knows. Stella has been with a 4 year old doggy housemate that she mostly ignored and, although she has lived in some pretty small backyards across the inner west in her time, Stella would love her new home to have a reasonably sized yard with a grassed area and where she can enjoy some sunshine.

Small

Tammy is in need of
a new home as her owner has been offered an overseas appointment
and, as there is no-one to care for her, the owner has made the
difficult decision to rehome Tammy. Tammy is very loving and
caring, does several tricks on command, is obedient when called,
has a fantastic 'handshake', gets extremely excited when she
knows she is going for a walk and walks well both on and off
leash. Tammy loves the beach, especially rolling in the sand and
chasing the sea-gulls! She plays tug-of-war, chases the ball
and is good with other dogs but her special trick is her fly
catching ability and she is fast! This little girl is very
loving and you will find her needs are small - she just loves
all people, likes a rub on the tummy and a pillow to sleep on so
if you can meet those needs you will have yourself a new really
great best friend!

SALLY Female Jack Russell Terrier X Maltese Aged approx. 10 years
Small
size Sally is a gorgeous old chook who is looking for a new home as sadly her mum is ill and can no longer take care of her. Luckily for Sally, one of her mum's friends has stepped forward and will take care of Sally until we find her a lovely new home. Sally is currently living in a retirement village and goes out for walks twice a day with anyone in the village who is prepared to take her. Sally gets along with most of the dogs that she meets but can be selective at times. The rest of Sally's days are spent on the veranda where she watches the passing parade. She has a comfy bed there and usually sleeps the day away when she is not 'sticky beaking' at all and sundry! Sally loves her toys, especially her squeaky toy and a stuffed dog that she plays with ..., she is a very lively girl. Sally sleeps in her minder's bedroom on and off and, if it is a little warm in the bedroom, she will wander to a cooler part of the house where she has yet another bed to sleep in. Sally loves to be stroked and enjoys time on her minder's knee. She enjoys her food and has chicken wings and both dry food and wet food each day with her special treat being a Schmacko. Sally quite likes children and would be suited to any number of homes but one where she is the only dog would be best as she does love all of the attention. Sally's mum adopted her from Hawkesbury Pound about six years ago and she has had her regular vet trips for a check up since then. Sally is house trained and is very much a house dog with a coat needs a little bit of grooming and bathing to keep her looking gorgeous. for adoption. Listed 21 November Adopted 3 December

Female Jack Russell Terrier X Kelpie Aged approx. 2 years Small size Mitsie is looking for a home due to a change in her owner's employment arrangements. Mitsie and Storm were rescue dogs and have been living together for two years but do not have to be rehomed together (although this would be ideal!). Mitsie is a real 'jack in the box' - very active and loves playing with any sort of toy or running around in the garden. She is a very clever dog and responds well to instruction - i.e. when playing ball she will bring it closer if asked. Mitsie is very cheeky and always hiding away in the garden trying to surprise you when doing the washing! A very loyal girl who walks without a lead next to you when taken individually on training walks or to the park, Mitsie loves playing catch, tug of war, chasing a ball and running around the park, chasing birds in the sun and just generally having fun!

Nelson has lived in the same home since he was a puppy but
unfortunately due to his owner’s illness he now has to find a new
home. Nelson is a typical Spaniel in his behaviour as he is quite
bouncy and lively and won’t suit any delicate owners. Nelson loves
to go for walks but doesn’t get out very often now although he has
previously visited dog parks and enjoyed the company of other
dogs. Nelson is also used to having children in the extended
family. Spaniels are a breed with specific needs, including
grooming. Nelson is looking for a loving home where he will have
daily walks, be included as part of family life and where someone
will maintain his health and good looks. Listed 8 October Adopted 1 November

Male Kelpie X Labrador Aged approx. 11 years
Medium size Pluto is URGENTLY seeking a new home (or foster home whilst we help him find a new owner) as his older, aged owner can no longer care for him due to illness. He is a loving and gentle dog who does not act his age, walks well on a lead and has lived as his owner’s beloved companion in their home for his whole life. Pluto is now sadly in kennels although happily unaware of his plight and the time limit. The kennel’s manager could not be more complimentary about this lovely boy who they have boarded over the years. He happily does whatever is expected of him without complaint and is neither a barker nor an escapologist. Pluto is on the large side of medium weighing 20 kilos and has had numerous changes of doggy friends but he just accepts them all in his friendly and quiet way, no matter what size. Pluto just loves to play ball or just lie in the sun and is in good health having recently been vet checked so is ready to go to his new home. Pluto has plenty of love and life left to give and such a great dog deserves a chance. UPDATE 16 OCTOBER: Pluto was rehomed late September but unfortunately his new owner has now become unwell and no longer able to care for him. Poor Pluto is a very unlucky boy and we hope that we can find him another home where he will spend the rest of his life!

India is a
loving, loyal and happy inside dog that loves being close to the
family for cuddles and pats. She has always had another companion
dog with her to play and sleep with. India is an active girl and
is taken to the dog park every day for a run around so she will be
best with an active and fun loving family. She is well trained and
well behaved and would do anything for her owners in return for a
loving and happy environment. India would be best suited to a
family with older children or a retired couple who will spend time
with her. She is used to being without her owners during the week
due to full time work but enjoys time with you when you get home.
India is only looking for a new home as her owners have a sick
baby and do not have the time to spend with her that she has
always been used to and deserves.

Brock is very healthy and visits the vet regularly but has occasional bouts of eczema that come and go depending on the season but this is generally managed by application of a cream.

SOL Female Red Cattle Dog X Staffy X Foxy Aged approx. 2 years Medium size
Sol is in need
of a loving and stable home where she can get lots of exercise and
heaps of cuddles. Sol was rescued from being surrendered to the
Pound due to a marital breakdown in April this year. She was also
separated from her brother back in November 2011 and was so
distressed she did not eat for two weeks. Sol has an adorable nature
and is friendly and extremely affectionate. She is very intelligent
and already well trained but, being an active dog she requires
regular exercise. Sol is very good on the lead and when off lead
responds immediately when called, even from hundreds of metres away.
She usually keeps a close eye on her master anyway! Sol is not a
fussy eater and is very gentle when being hand fed. She would
be best suited to a home with another dog, or with someone who is
either home most of the time or willing to take her with them. Sol
gets on very well with other dogs and especially loves playing with
her doggy stepsister, Elle. She is good with children, although
tends to walk away when younger children approach her, so a home
with older children would be preferable. Sol is also very wary of
feet and tends to run away with her tail between her legs when a
foot is moved near her but she is slowly building trust and
occasionally enjoys a rub with a foot. Sol requires a family that
has experience with active dog breeds and would be extremely happy
and loyal in a home where she is really part of the family and
family life. Listed 4 June Adopted 18 June |

REX Male American Bulldog X Mastiff Aged approx. 10 months Extra Large size
Rex is a gentle giant with an amazing nature! He loves people, is
extremely playful but needs a strong, energetic person to maintain
his needs. Rex loves kids but does get over excited around little
children and is therefore best suited to a home with older
children in the family. He is not a barker and has not been to
puppy school but is easily trained and is extremely friendly and
outgoing. Rex has a protective nature and has been an only dog in
the family so will benefit from socialising with other dogs. His
family are reluctantly rehoming him because he is a bit too
boisterous for their toddler. Rex will require a secure yard in
his new home and a family committed to both training and
exercising him. He loves his food, loves cuddles and is always
willing to give a big hug. Listed 12 May Adopted 17 June |

BJ Male Purebred Shar Pei Aged approx. 7 years Large size BJ is sadly looking for a new home due to a marital breakdown and is extremely affectionate so can always put a smile on your face! He loves to sit with you just having a cuddle or pat or getting out and about on a walk or at the beach where he can enjoy and on-lead swim. BJ enjoys sun-baking on top of his kennel or in a hammock and on hot days also enjoys playing in a shell pool or just sitting in it to keep cool. He enjoys a meal of bones and meat and has a particular fondness for eggs! BJ. is house trained and in good health and does not have the skin and eye issues that can happen to some Shar Pei as his current owner has taken great care to keep them both clean and this will need to continue in his new home to avoid future problems. His feet in particular cannot be left wet for long periods so as to avoid tinea (although this can easily be treated with the same cream that humans use). BJ needs a home with a secure yard and is best suited to one where there are no other dogs, cats or young children as he has not previously been around them. BJ can get over excited and jump around a bit but after a friendly reminder he will stop. He is not big on toys and would much rather have a walk or just be in your company. BJ's owner has so much to say about her beautiful boy that she is happy to give you more information if you contact her. She only wants the best for him and for BJ to be safe and happy so if there are any future problems BJ can always be returned to her as she does not want him ever to be abandoned in a Pound or Shelter. BJ will fill your life with unconditional love and laughter and all he asks in return is to be treated like a member of the family. We suggest that you research the Shar Pei breed to ensure it is the right one for your family before you make any enquiries about adopting BJ. Listed 15 May Adopted 15 June

He is a lovable, cuddly boy who is extremely playful, full of life and energy and has a heart of gold. Humphrey loves going for walks or to the beach where he can play in the water with you (but always on a lead as he can run very fast!) Humphrey also loves to sun bake and to soak up any kind of attention you can offer as he loves being pampered, although he's not a fan of getting wet! Humphrey is house trained and in good health and does not have the skin and eye issues that can happen to some Shar Pei as his current owner has taken great care to keep them both clean and this will need to continue in his new home to avoid future problems. He is not really a fussy eater and likes bones and meat and also a bowl of kibble to nibble on during the day. Humphrey needs a home with a secure yard and is best suited to one where there are no other dogs, cats or young children as he has not previously been around them (although he did have a doggy girlfriend who passed away recently). Humphrey can get over excited and jump around a bit but after a friendly reminder he will stop. He is not big on toys and would much rather have a walk or just be in your company.

  DAISY-MAE Female Chihuahua X Foxy Aged approx. 11 years Toy size
Daisy-Mae is the sweetest, tiniest girl with a huge heart. Her little tail never stops wagging and she's the ideal lap or bed warmer companion as she doesn't move all night long! Being tiny, Daisy-Mae really feels the chill in the air and is like a heat seeking missile, never far from your side so she'd be a great companion while you read or watch TV. She's very intelligent and seems to understand whatever you want from her with a few words or finger point! Daisy-Mae is a clean girl and is house trained so will go to the door when she needs to go out. She's only got one tooth left after a recent dental but it makes no difference to her as she still eats biscuits and chewies and has great enthusiasm for any food. Daisy-Mae will let you know if there's any stranger danger and is OK with other dogs but really wants to be your 'one and only'. She loves to run around in the garden and is in good health generally. Daisy-Mae would probably suit an older, retired person and will give them quite a few years of loving companionship and is in urgent need of a new home. Daisy-Mae comes complete with a tiny coat and bed and, as is common with dogs her age, is currently on medications to alleviate arthritis. She was left in the Pound due to a change in her owner's circumstances and is currently in foster care. Listed 11 April Adopted 17 May |

RAMBO Male Kelpie X Aged approx. 2 years Medium size Rambo is a beautiful and athletic Kelpie X with stunning amber eyes and a personality full of love to give. He was rescued from a farm in Austral where he was being neglected but sadly it seems Rambo has been abused. This is evident by his fears of brooms (anything with a pole-like appearance) and some behavioural quirks.He is very active due to his Kelpie background and would need his high activity needs met with regular exercise and preferably a large backyard (which must be fully fenced). Rambo also suffers from separation anxiety, so a new owner should have plenty of chew toys/bones and a companion to keep him occupied. Since being rescued, Rambo sleeps indoors on a pet bed and is house trained providing somebody opens the door for him to go out. He is completely loyal to those who show kindness to him but can be untrusting around strangers, unknown dogs (on walks) and noisy children. Rambo is trained to walk on-leash but can sometimes be distracted by other dogs during walks. He gets along with most animals, cats and dogs but is recommended for a home with another medium or large size dog to play with. Due to his past maltreatment, Rambo will need an owner who is experienced with active dogs and abuse cases as he can be untrusting at times. He doesn't like to be bothered when sleeping and may give a warning growl (but that's all!) and is a really nice boy who wants nothing more than somebody to love him so that he can love back. Rambo is very human-orientated and will follow you around the house just to be near you. Ideally Rambo needs someone who is willing to give him the time to train him, or preferably enrol him in an obedience course to refine his manners, but he is overall trained in the basic aspects (sit, stay, down, shake, toileting and heel). He also has a party trick, called 'woof woof' in which he will bark in response. He also has good herding instincts so could make a good sheep herder if trained. Rambo needs to be homed in a place where the owners are not gone for extended periods of time, and can't be homed with young children (under 10 years) although he likes teenagers. When Rambo loves someone, he really devotes himself to them, so anyone willing to sacrifice the time and patience for him will be greatly rewarded in loyalty, affection and happiness for a lifetime.
