Rehomed Animals

Paddy is one of Gypsy's puppies. Who is a medium size x breed (some northern breed in there) and paddy & his siblings look a bit border collie like, so we expect they will be medium size dogs when fully grown

Paddy is just a lovely, very sweet boy. He loves his dinner and is a very affectionate puppy.
Paddy is a bit of an old soul (I’m sure he has been here before) and would make a great dog for someone who just wants to sit and contemplate (that’s what Paddy does!), although still an active puppy, he will require regular exercise.

Tragic circumstances mean that Bonnie is looking for a new home as soon as possible. She belongs to one of my clients who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Her little dog passed away last year and she has turned to me for help. This morning I went over to take photos (sadly they aren’t the best) and to take Bonnie to the vet for her annual vaccination.

Bonnie completely captivated me, she has the most sweet, affectionate and laid back temperament. She even fell asleep on the vet’s examination table! Bonnie is 7 years old, she is good with dogs, cats and chooks. I think she’d be okay with children too given she’s such a sweetie. Bonnie is desexed, vaccinated, has monthly spot-on treatment for fleas, heartworm and intestinal worms, and is also microchipped.

Bonnie deserves a great new home and I want to be able to give Bonnie’s owner peace of mind that her beloved cat is going to be safe and happy.

Smudge has come into DCH care after being surrendered directly by the property owner to find a loving home.

Smudge has grown up with a litter of 5 kittens. He is growing very fast and is strong kitten. He has very distinctive features with his dark ears and nose and will make a great addition for a family.

Due to his white fur, he should be an indoors only cat.

He is currently in foster care in Quakers Hill and is expected to be available for adoption between the 18th and 28th of February. He will be desexed, wormed, 1st F3 vaccinated, microchipped and will have had flea prevention applied.

If you have any questions about adopting this kitten please contact us

Hi, My name is Gracie. I am a Tabby Domestic Medium Hair female Kitten. I am now on Hold for my new owner who will kindly adopt me towards the end of January.

I was rescued from the pound 29th of December and my carer has taken me into his care as I was looking sick and in need of an immediate rescue.

I have received vet treatments to help give me a helping hand and to fight off an infection and to help break my fever but am still sick and will be given lots of TLC and additional care over the next 1-2 weeks.

**Sponsorship required 01/01/2015**: Three days into his care, this little 4-5 week old kitten has needed $103 in veterinary care which has included fluids and antibiotic injections and follow up medications. This little kitten has started off the new year needing a helping hand, any support towards his care is greatly appreciated in terms of sponsorship or donations.

** Update 3/1/2015: Gracie has been responding to treatment and her temperature has dropped and she is showing interest in food again. She is still on antibiotics and electrolytes but is showing improvements.

**Sponsorship Update: I would like to acknowledge and thank Miki who has generously sponsored Gracie and has covered off her vet fee of $103. Thank you so very much.**

**Update 4/1/2015. Gracie is looking much better and has started to play games and to be more active. She is looking really good now from her treatments. A new video has been attached of her playing. **

**Update 6/1/2015. Gracie has had a relapse and has needed urgent medical care and addition medications. As we fight with her, the medical bills are increasing and any extra financial support would be appreciated.

**Update 10/1/2015. Gracie is a strong fighter. She has battled this illness so hard and finally seems to be winning the fight. She is now up and around again and eating on her own and is looking so much better than a few days ago where it was looking like we would lose her.
We would like to thank Kellyville Ridge Vet Clinic for their continued support in doing everything they could to help Gracie pull through this illness. Hopefully over the next few days she will continue to improve.

**Update 11/2/2015.- Gracie has been adopted into her new family.

Maddie is a beautiful Black and white girl who is approx 12 months of age. She has given birth to a litter of 5 kittens, and is now looking for her forever home.
This loving young mum deserves to have a home and family to call her own where she can be spoiled and loved as she has done for her own kittens. At just on 12mths herself she is still as playful as her kittens, she loves nothing more than to race up to greet you and snuggle in your lap for cuddles and an ear scratch.
Maddie will be desexed and be available for adoption in February once her kittens are independent, but you are most welcome to come and meet her and see for yourself just how beautiful and lovely she is.

Please meet the most delightful Dougal, a lovely little approximately 2 to 3 year old Dachshund cross Maltese. He is a very affectionate little dog and really enjoys getting and giving cuddles. His gorgeous face just melts your heart when he looks at you and he will give someone a lot of love and pleasure, he does like being with his owner and doesn’t like it when he is left behind. His foster carer has a small dog and Dougal likes puppy playing with him. Dougal does bark at cats when he is walking past them. He would make a great pet for a family with children (not too young). His hair does grow quite long so he will need some clipping in hot weather, the photos are before and after a clip. If you think Dougal could very well be part of your family then please contact us.

He is located at Shell Cove in the Wollongong area.

Hamish came into care from a local cat colony.

He has a gorgeous pale tabby coat and a dark tail and stripe down his back.
Hamish is very friendly and affectionate and loves the other kittens and older cats.

Abandoned, this litter of 6 kittens was fostered by two seperate rescue groups and we have three brothers in care.

The biggest of the three, Shadow is a lovely playful and very affectionate little boy, always after cuddles and happy to purr loudly to indicate pleasure. When done playing, he climbs onto my lap for naps and is a very easy going, vocal kitten. He loves playing with his brothers and exploring the world with them.

He has been raised in a home with young kids and is not stressed about being handled by them at all. He will make a lovely addition to any family, and we will be sorry to see him go to join an amazing family that will give him the play, love and attention he needs and deserves.

He has been flea treated and wormed and will be vaccinated and microchipped prior to re homing in a couple of weeks. The cost of adoption will include desexing.

Marley is a lovely natured girl who is used to living with children and other dogs. She plays really well with other dogs and being young and active she does enjoy that playtime.

She is a good learner and has no anti-social behaviours. Marley has some issues with separation anxiety but she is getting better with ongoing training. Given her breed and this small issue, she would suit an experienced dog owner.

This is Aysha who was found wandering the streets of Fairfield after Christmas and she is now safe in foster care. Aysha is a female Australian Cattle dog cross, her actual age is unknown but from professional advice her age is estimated to be in the range of 2-4 years. Her teeth are very good and are indicative of a young healthy dog.

Now that Aysha is in foster care she has blossomed into an attentive and affectionate dog who loves the company of people and dotes on her foster carer and will ultimately dote on her new owner. She makes friends quickly with people and other similarly playful dogs.

In her former life it is apparent that she was not on a controlled diet and was not exercised enough, consequently she is overweight and not very fit. Since being fostered she has shed one or two kilos but her diet will need to be watched. She is not an active dog and will suit a working family who can take her for short walks at least 3 or 4 times a week. She is certainly not a jumper and a fence of 1m+ will contain her easily.

In the short time of her foster care Aysha has learnt her new name and will obediently return when called and will sit when ordered to sit. Most of the time on the leash Aysha will trot along happily by your side but when tempted by a strange smell will suddenly pull off to the side, needing a strong tug to bring her back alongside.

She is happiest being with her “humans” and all she asks for is care and attention and a bit of exercise. In the car she is quiet and usually sleeps but occasionally she loves to stick her nose out the window.

Aysha has a sweet nature and gets on very well with other dogs and is becoming tolerant to cats. She rarely barks even when left alone in the house and yard for this reason she should suit a working family. In the company of her carer Aysha is placid and friendly with children.
Typical of her breed, Aysha is a very good watchdog and may behave protectively if the carer/owner is absent and a stranger attempts to enter the house or yard.
