Bear --- (posted 10/12/2019) ---
Bear appears a lovely and playful BC boy, only 8 months old. However Bear
has serious behavioural issues and is only a prospect for an experienced
and committed BC savvy home. Whilst generally easy to manage, getting on
OK with other dogs, and loving being with people, Bear has no bite
inhibition, and when dealing with high value treats he has bitten
people, and needs careful management, to help him develop and be a
safe dog to live with. Bear is a gorgeous boy, easy to fall for. But
he needs just the right home, with experience to teach him boundaries
and develop his character in positive ways. If you have experience
with problematic BCs and are ready for a challenge, this boy might be
what you are looking for ? For more info please contact Emily on 0425

Chips --- (posted 11/1/2020) ---
Chips is a gorgeous and affectionate boy who is a special needs BC.
Only a home that is experienced with anxious dogs, and which can
demonstrate that they have an appropriate strategy for his ongoing
management will be considered. Babies and children can't be included
in the mix. Chips missed his puppy socialisation
window, and extensive efforts to remedy this have had no success.
Chips is scared of anything new, including the outside world, children, other
dogs, - the only fear he doesn't have is of noise. So Chips is hoping for a life at home,
where he is not expected to go for walks to the park, or runs on the
beach, but instead have games of fetch in the backyard with people he
loves. Chips is on behavioural medication and this will need to be
continued, along with careful management of his interaction with the
world. If you think that Chips would fit into your household please
contact Alexis at alexisu54@gmail.com for more info.
Brutus --- (posted 24/1/2020) ---
Brutus's tough sounding name belies his soft affectionate nature. He
loves people, and when he knows you are his companion he will stick
with you. He also gets along well with other dogs. Brutus is unhappy
in storms and heavy rain, and will pace around the house. Like many
BCs he is a little anxious in strange situations, and also like most
BCs he loves to play, especially fetch and he loves pats and scritches
and snuggles. Brutus is a big loving bear who needs a new family who
have time to spend with him, particularly to make him part of their
life, and undertake activities to keep him mentally and physically
stimulated. For more info on Brutus please contact Jon on 0412917423
or Jade on 0498459965
Roy --- (posted 25/1/2020) ---
Roy is an affectionate mature boy who loves all people, including
children. Roy gets along OK with similar sized and larger dogs, but he
isn't keen on small dogs. Unfortunately his current family's circumstances have
changed and he is not getting the company that he desires. Roy doesn't
have any vices, but he is afraid of storms. During a storm, his sole
goal is to be with a person, and if possible, lie under a table at
their feet. If there isn't anyone home, then Roy will do whatever it
takes to leave the yard, and find someone else who can keep him
company til the storm passes. A home where there is someone home most
of the time, and who might have the flexibility not to leave Roy alone when
a storm is on its way, is sought. Roy loves to play fetch with a
tennis ball, and he also loves splashing around his plastic shell pool.
If are looking for an adult BC, and think you could give Roy the
companionship he craves, then please contact Andy on 0420306324 or
andymac1979@gmail.com
2 pups --- (posted 3/2/2020) ---
If you are an experienced BC home with time and empathy for a special
needs puppy, there are two who will be looking for a home in 3 weeks,
when they reach 8 weeks old. These two pups are blind, due to a
congential defect which has prevented development of their eyes. They
will never be able to see, and a decision has been made to seek a home
that is able and prepared to give them the extra care, life-long, that
they will need. They will still grow into active, mischievious,
activity loving dogs, and will need to be helped to learn how to
navigate the world, and given extra training and management as well.
If you think you are up for this challenge, please contact Dom on 0417
247 064. Note that they are not available until they are 8 weeks of age.
They are, as yet, unnamed.
Zelda and Link --- (posted 10/2/2020) ---
This pair's family circumstances have changed and they need to find a
new home. Both are very loving and affectionate with people. (Link
avoids children). Neither of them are social with other dogs they do
not know. They have a moderate level of training, and both are
excited when walking and pull on the lead.
Zelda is very energetic and loves frisbee and water play, loves
kids and snuggles, doesn't like storms, fireworks or getting her feet
touched.
Link was a rescue as a puppy and had a rough start in life, from
this he has lost several teeth and has some issues with touching him
around certain areas on his body. He really wants to be loved.
A home where they can be kept together is sought. If you are afer a
ready-made BC family then please contact Mitch for more info at
mitch1788@hotmail.com
Reggie --- (posted 25/2/2020) ---
Reggie is a charming boy who lives happily with a family with small
children. Unfortunately, the increase in time needing to be spent with
the children has reduced the time that is spent with Reggie, and he
barks a lot at any distractions. Reggie needs a home with a family who
will give him ongoing management and training. He has only very basic
training at the moment, he doesn't always come when called and he
isn't housetrained, so there is a bit of work to be done. He isn't
phased by the family cat, and he isn't concerned about storms. Reggie has a
sun-affected nose, which will need ongoing treatment. If you would
like a boy who is full of energy, looking for friends and things to
do, then Reggie might be right for you. For more info please contact
Stacey at sfullarton87@gmail.com
Amigo --- (posted 26/2/2020) ---
Amigo is a beautiful but difficult boy who needs an experienced adult
home with a commitment to his ongoing management. Amigo is an anxious
and reactive
boy with a strong herding instinct, serious resource guarding issues and very
poor social skills with other dogs. A home with no children and
experienced adult owners is needed. On the positive side, he is a
super smart boy who can cope with stacked commands. He learns very
fast. He loves his rope toy and his ball, and he loves his people.
If you are looking for a young BC with lots of potential, but also are
prepared to manage his issues, then please contact Helen on 0403 024 504
Chas --- (posted 16/3/2020) ---
Chas is a stunning red and white girl whose family's circumstances
have changed, and they have made the difficult decision to find her a
new home. Chas has never been comfortable with children, and now her
household has a young human in it, she is necessarily being excluded
from spaces and interactions, and this is causing her stress and the
family grief. Chas is supersmart, and loves to learn, and be with her
person. She is a one person dog. A home where there are not small people for her to cope with
is sought. Chas isn't keen on other dogs either, tho other pets don't
worry her. For more info on Chas please contact Susanna at
sruusila@gmail.com
Angus --- (posted 31/3/2020) ---
Angus is a young BC Kelpie cross boy who is seeking a home where he can
be an only dog. Angus loves the offlead dog-beach, and if anyone has a
ball to throwthey will have his attention!
He loves people, and cuddles, and he walks well on a lead.
He does't bark much, and is not scared of storms. He likes travelling
in the car. His housetraining is solid too. Angus is currently living
with another dog, a sibling. Their personalities are simply not a good
match together. Angus is not well socialised with other dogs, and he
will occassionally aggress to pre-empt an interaction. This isn't
common, but occassional. An experienced home that has
had unsocial dogs before and improved or managed their confidence and
behaviour is
needed. With somw work, his social skills may be able to be
improved.
For more info on Angus please contact Simon on 0439 465 786
