Ellie was rescued from the pound when she was heavily pregnant. All of her puppies found fantastic new homes and now Ellie is looking for her new home as well. Due to her previous situation, she is scared of new people and new environments but once she has settled, she is extremely affectionate and loves to sit on your lap. Ellie is good with other dogs and loves to go for walks in quiet areas. Ellie requires a fully fenced backyard and is not suitable for a unit or apartment
Ellie has been in foster care since 25 September 2021, for 2.2 years

Doug came into care with DCH after being found as a stray and taken to the local pound.
Doug had a HUGE dangling tumor which had impacted his life up until he came to us and had it removed which improved his quality of life.
Doug sits, shakes and has an amazing gentle personality, he is currently in a foster home with cats although he doesn't like them and will need a home with no other dogs or cats.
Doug is a gentle boy and lives with a 5 year old which he enjoys, he loves to attend tea parties with teddies but also likes to follow his foster dad to the shed to work on the car. Doug needs a home where he will be included in the daily life of his family, he has alot of love to give in his senior years and deserves to be loved back.
Doug is in care in the Hawkesbury Area 2756

Nala has come into care after being found in a park with her 7 puppies in a box. She is a sweet girl that has been easy going while in care and a great mum to her puppies. Nala will sit for a treat when asked and has been an easy going girl to have around.
Nala loves going for walks, she doesn't pull on the lead and would be suited to someone who is retired, who would love a devoted companion and can spend lots of time with her
Nala loves toys and when called has to find a toy to bring to you. If you can give Nala the home she deserves full of love and happiness then please come and meet her.

Welcome to my profile
Hi, my name is Daisy and I’m so glad you stopped to check out my profile.
Firstly, let me introduce myself. I am a six month old Staffy Cross puppy who is looking for her perfect home, but before we get too acquainted, settle in and let me tell my story
When I was a young whippersnapper, I was dumped in a park with my brothers and sisters as well as my mum. My brothers and sisters were found in a box with my mum close by I was so scared, not knowing what was going to happen to us until a nice lady came and found us and took us all to the local animal shelter.
We were all placed into a lovely foster carers home where we were all adopted by great loving families. My new home was fantastic and I really loved it but unfortunately my new owner could no longer keep me and I was sent back to foster care and so here we are.
I love going for walks and I get on well with other dogs although I am also happy to be by myself.
I walk Well on a lead, but sometimes I get excited and I try to jump up, but my foster carers are teaching me to have nice manners, it’s just that sometimes I forget
I love going for long drives, and I’m quite happy to sit in the backseat and not make a sound, I’m also 100%, toilet trained and I would never ever poop in your house.
I’m desperately trying to find a new home with someone that would love me as much as my brothers and sisters have found great homes, so if you would like to come meet me, then please contact my foster carers.
I hope to meet you soon. Love Daisy.

British Bulldog - female - 6 years and 1 month
Tilly is such a beautiful, happy outgoing girl..
Tilly loves playing soccer and fetch, is really well mannered mostly but can get a bit excited and use her weight to her advantage (bulldog barge as I call it). You can pat and take her food when she eats with no issues and she loves a good brush and snuggle. And cheese - oh does she love cheese!
Tilly also travels amazingly well, lays down and you don't hear a peep from her. She also loves going for walks and is great on a lead/ harness.
You're more than welcome to come and meet her if you like! She's such a sweetie and a boofhead all at the same time.
Tilly is located in Bligh Park.
Tilly has been in foster care since 13 September 2023, for 2 months
