Rhodesian Ridgeback x Bullmast - female
Layla's personality is so humorous, she will talk to you when you are about to feed her, when she wants something or when you tell her no. She just loves and adores the company of people. She will greet you with much excitement initially, this includes trying to give you a big kiss on the face, but she is learning that is not ok although once she gets her kiss she is happy to just be next to you. She is fully house trained.
I have had many people over in 'her backyard' adults and kids alike all find her to be a very well behaved and affectionate dog.
She will even sit around patiently unperturbed by the smell of steak on the BBQ. Does not jump up to the table when you eat outside, nor does she hassle or beg you to share.
She knows when enough is enough, she will listen when it's time to just lay next to your feet. A highly energetic dog, only in bursts, Lazy in others!
She needs a walk every day or two or she just looks so sad. When not walking she is happy to just lounge about the back yard and get a pat from you.
She will chew on her toys or odd bits left in the yard, but never anything of value. She has made a dash with my thongs left at the back door so I'd say shoes are considered 'her toys'. Does not dig or bother my garden.
Out for walks she likes to go off lead when at the park, I always have her on lead walking around the street. She never goes too far that she can't see you. She always wants to know you're nearby.
Even at the dog park where she can run free with other dogs, she will play with them for a while but check back with me often.
An absolute delight to have. Not suitable to little children however, only because of her size and need to be close to people, she could bowl them over unintentionally.

Fox Terrier - female
From the moment Bella left the pound she was happy and energetic. She has a great temperament and is friendly with familiar faces and strangers alike.
She enjoys going for walks, although she likes to walk at a fast pace. She is a keen soccer player or happy to play with a tennis ball. Bella is happy to meet you when you arrive home and does not have an aggressive bone in her body. However she goes a little nuts over the hose when watering the garden and the lawn mower where she has to be put inside because she circles the mower and tries to bite the wheels.
Bella is in foster care at Kellyville.

Neapolitan Mastiff x Bull Mast - female
Dione is almost 5 years old, is desexed, microchipped and has had all of her vaccinations. She has been quite spoilt in regard to being allowed on the couch and bed and she has always slept in the house at night. She is a big girl who has not been exposed to small children or cats so would be best suited to a family with older children as she may unintentionally knock over little ones or preferably a home with a single male.
Dione is currently in boarding kennels and the staff there have described her as a very beautiful and gentle natured girl. She appears to be OK with the other dogs at the kennels and has lived with an Aussie Bulldog as her companion and while she has been around other dogs it has always been under supervision because of her size.
The family have asked that they do the rehoming themselves as they want to meet and interview anyone thinking of taking her on as they need to know she is going to a good home where she will be loved and well looked after and with people that will have the time to settle her into her new home.

A very sweet natured girl, Katie loves to be around adults, children & other dogs. She walks very well on lead when asked to do so. She is great in the car just lying down & being totally quiet while travelling. She takes treats gently which is very nice & is not a glutton with her food. She is such a quick learner with dazzling intelligent eyes. When having her dinner she is able to sit beautifully & wait for release to her bowl. Unlike any Lab X I've seen before she isn't particularly food obsessed, which is an absolute delight as it means I can happily leave her unattended at meal times knowing she’s not harassing my other dog for more food or trying to steal anything from her.
I’d encourage a family with another dog to consider Katie as she’d make a great friend & companion. She will not do well being left alone all day while you’re out at work. I’d guess she has not had this happen prior as she gets stressed if alone & will ultimately voice her anxiety.
She is not good with cats or small animals. We have 3 Guinea Pigs & she raked their cage trying to get inside to chase them. I am working with her with on lead training & treats when she’s in proximity to them & she is improving but her natural tendency is to chase. Therefore a home without cats is advisable.
A home with another dog is preferable but not a prerequisite providing you can give her the attention she deserves.
Katie was adopted on 09 November 2013 after today in foster care

Bull Matsiff Cross - male
Please help us find Gordon a forever or foster Home.
Gordon a solid young lad. He is friendly with dogs, loves people , super smart, house trained, loves playing with balls and other energetic dogs, and loves going on walks and bike rides.
Gordon has patiently waited for his new owner for such a long time - over a year now. In that time he has had no one, he’s been moving from shelter to shelter, hoping and waiting for that special person to fall in love with him and take him home.
As he is so big and full of beans, he would probably suit a family without tiny children.
He has had professional obedience and behaviour training and does not pull on the lead. He ideally needs a home where he will be included as part of the family, but also someone to keep him calm.
Terrier x - female
Missy is a delightful little dog who is fully of energy and loves to play. The more you get to know her the more you get to love her. She loves playing with toys but most of all she loves playing with the other dogs in her pack, regardless of their size. If you are looking for a companion for your dog or someone to take with you when you go for a jog or a good walk Missy would be ideal. She requires someone who can give her all of the exercise she needs to keep her happy.
She is shy with strangers and also when she is in unfamiliar territory so she needs someone who can instill her with confidence. The more she is exposed to strange situations and allowed to see there is nothing to be scared about the better she gets. Given her high energy levels she is not suitable for young children and also not suitable as a stay at home dog as she needs exercise. Although she has not had much formal training she bonds well and will come when called. I've always preferred medium size dogs like kelpies and staffies but Missy is just such a special little girl I've grown so very very fond of her. She's a little dog with a whole lot of personality. Missy weighs 3.8kg
Missy was adopted on 04 November 2013 after 1 year in foster care
Staffy cross - female
Daisy is a very affectionate dog who is always happy to meet new people. She's polite and very sweet natured, and has shown herself to be a super-fast learner. After only a couple of visits to the dog park she comes on command, and she gets on with other dogs really well.
She does need exercise to let off steam, but if you can provide this for her you will have the most gorgeous girl on your hands. She doesn't appear to have any issues with children, however she hasn't been tested on cats. She would almost certainly be fine living with other dogs.
Daisy was adopted on 02 November 2013 after 1 month in foster care
Terrier cross - male
Scwuffy weighs about 8 1/2 kg, height 50cm, length 85cm. Perfect in size and has the best temperament, the ideal pup for an active, caring family with children, say 8 years up, preferably, with a good size yard for fun times.
Swcuff has a big personality, very expressive and switched on. Alert, curious and interested, he gets involved. Loves to play, fetch, chase, tussle, tumble, rumble, one very happy positive pup. His playful bounding energy easily settles into snooze mode or smooch time. Being young he does need gentle discipline, he has responded well to it whilst in my care.
Digs a little and likes to chew. When alone keep him busy with tough chewy treats and brisket bones that'll save you an item or two. He has a mischievous side, probably due to age, curiosity and boredom more than anything, it's not bad, it just adds to his appeal
Fully house trained, eats, rides, and walks well. Love's to run. Sleeps out (sheltered) great watch dog, does not attention bark. Can get anxious around other dogs, excitable and defensive at times? He gets on great with my small female wiry Jack x? When walking them I just cross the road if there's a dog coming up and stay away from dog parks. For his leash free runs we go to a secure oval where it's just us, we have a ball goofing around, his so much fun, makes me laugh all the time, really great dog.
If you feel you can give Swcuff a great loving active home or would like to know more about him, give me a call and we can chat or arrange a meeting.As a member of your family, this adorable pup, with the most gorgeous eyes and character will love and entertain you all. Many good time laughs will be shared. He so deserves a loving home since his previous owners abandoned him, after moving house and leaving him behind.
Scwuffy was adopted on 30 October 2013 after 3 months in foster care
