Maltese x Fox Terrier - male
Raffy was rescued from the pound on his 1st birthday which was a wonderful present for himself and also for his foster carer who has described him as awesome and no trouble at all. Raffy seems to have the best traits from both the maltese and the fox terrier and will make a perfect pet. He is great with other dogs, kids, people and he even loves cats. He is good to walk on a lead and great in a car. Raffy is used to being outside during the day a bit but does like to be inside with his family. Even though he is young and still quite active, Raffy has no bad habits at all and would love to find his new home. Raffy is being cared for in the Warrawong area which is about 10 mins from Wollongong.
Raffy was adopted on 10 December 2008 after 2 months in foster care
Terrier x - male
Clancy would be the perfect addition for anyone looking for a second dog. He is not too big but not too small so he would suit any other sized dog as a companion. He is living with 3 other dogs at the moment, all big dogs and they all get along famously. Clancy loves other dogs but also loves his cuddles from his humans as well. He is a a very happy young dog and is getting some extra training on lead and obedience wise. Clancy is an outside dog during the day but does sleep inside at night and is now housetrained. Clancy would be good with children as long as the family is willing to continue his training. He is being cared for in the Wollongong area.

Scottish Fold Grey - male
Poor Mr Snuffy came into care in appalling condition. His coat was so matted he needed to be shaved almost completely. He is now feeling much more lively and happier since his hair cut and he's showing himself to be quite a confident, friendly, affectionate boy. He is a slightly vocal boy who likes to meow for attention just to let you know where you should be focused and he would enjoy being an only cat although he does get used to other cats given time.

DMH - male
Harry is a really handsome and affectionate young man. His carer finds him irresistible, he's following her around one minute demanding her attention and the next chasing kittens all over the house. Then he will find a comfy corner to roll up and fall asleep for the rest of the day. He would best be suited as an indoor cat because of his pure white coat.
Harry was adopted on 02 December 2008 after 2 weeks in foster care

Terrier x - male
Bam is very quite and gentle for a young dog. He hardly barks or whines or even demands food. He loves people and cuddling up next to you but if you want him to stay away he is happy to spend time on his own too. He behaves very well on a leash and car. He occasionaly growls at unfamiliar dogs but gets on very well with the two dogs living with him at his carers house. Since he is so quiet he would benefit a home with older people or children. I don't think he needs regular exercise but he does enjoy walk and swimming! Bam sits on command, is housetrained and is 7kg.
Bam was adopted on 30 November 2008 after 3 weeks in foster care
Purebred German Shepherd - female
Having missed crucial basic training and socialisation at a young age Fynne came into care with little idea of how to behave or interact with people and other dogs. Since then she has been receiving guidance and training from her carer in basic commands and can now sit and wait to be released for meals or for going through doors. She is currently working on drop from the sitting position. She now knows how to play fetch and can retrieve and drop the ball/toy for as long as you wish to throw for her.
Her interaction with people can be quite enthusiastic, having not quite finished the teenager stage, but she does respond so well to positive rewards. She does not jump on anyone in the family but still gets excited when a stranger comes into the yard. She listens when she is instructed not to jump up, but has not yet found this an intrinsic skill. Fynne hardly ever barks, if ever she does it's due to someone approaching the door late at night. She absolutely loves to chase the garden hose and would spend hours trying to catch the water spray if you let her, she's even attempted some swimming in our pool. Once or twice accidentally and a few times on purpose as she wants to be with us when we play. After some consistant training she now walks on lead very well for me and will sit at the pavement edge and wait for my signal to cross, however she has not yet been fully socialised with other dogs. She is improving with her interactions but still has some way to go before she will be relaxed in other dogs company. Her enthusiasm, excitement and sometimes fear of other dogs, (depending on their demeanor) needs to be managed and she needs direction and guidance in how to behave appropriately. Therefore previous experience of German Shepherds will be looked on favorably when rehoming Fynne. She is attending dog training school at the moment to improve her social interactions with other dogs and is progessing well.
She was underweight when she came into care but has blossomed nicely. Though she can be fussy over food she is always polite and sits well, ready to be fed. She needs a caring environment with a firm approach and strong leadership. She will take a little time to bond to you but once she does you will rewarded with a totally loyal companion.
Fynne was adopted on 30 November 2008 after 1 month in foster care
