Cash --- (posted 29/12/2018) ---
Cash is a stunning young boy who needs an experienced and committed BC
home with no small children and preferably no other dogs. Cash is
extremely affectionate and is never far away from his favourite
people. Cash is extremely intelligent and learns fast when adopting
modern reinforcement-based training. Cash struggles with anxiety (not
serious separation anxiety) especially with strange sounds and scary
objects (e.g. kids on bikes, riding in cars etc). Cash is also an
extreme resource guarder around food. He has a bite history due to
the resource guarding. Although Cash will show bite inhibition
initially (no punctures), if he feels this isn’t working, he will bite
as hard as required. For this reason, he is currently in temporary
housing with a positive reinforcement trainer who is working with
Cash’s anxiety levels, handling issues and guarding triggers with good
short-term results (videos available for viewing). With the right
home, a good management plan, and support from a positive
reinforcement trainer, Cash could a great addition to any home.
Might you be that home? If you think you might, then please call Molly
on 0402698961.
Jodi --- (posted 14/2/2018) ---
Jodi is a gorgeous black and white girl with one stunning blue
eye, and a petite build. She is a girl with challenges, and a home
experienced with BCs, and ready for a project, is sought. Jodi is a
very smart, edgy girl who needs considerable behavioural training and
management to help her cope with life. She's the dog version of a human
stresshead, and her family will need to help her slowly settle and be
able to be comfortable with the world. Jodi is not aggressive, but
life isn't currently easy for her. A
behavioural management program and medication will be required for some
time. If you are an experienced BC home, looking for a challenge, and
the rewards that come with helping a stressed BC, then please contact
Julie on 0421 203 619.
Jax --- (posted 7/3/2019) ---
Jax is a lovely boy who just loves people. He is not well socialised
with other dogs, and prefers to avoid them. He did grow up with
another BC, but now he is the only dog, and he has become a bit of a
yard guard dog. He will bark at problems. Jax is a little noise
sensitve and will also bark at storms, like most BCs. Jax's family has
changed and they want to find a new home that will have the time to
spend with him, and give him the home he deserves. For more info
please contact Nicole on 0422 692 952
Hunter --- (posted 22/4/2019) ---
Hunter is a loving, happy and smart BC who mostly co-exists well with
a family, including children and some cats. Unfortunately Hunter has a resource-guarding
issue with food, and he will use his teeth to re-inforce his
possession. A home with experience with a resource guarder, with a
preparedness to take on the management that this requires is sought.
Hunter is toilet trained, used to being an indoor/outdoor dog,
unphased by cats, walks on a lead, and likes to play fetch. He loves
tunmmy scritches and long walks. Hunter is desexed and chipped. For more info on Hunter please
contact Marina on 0425258237 or Martin on 0425266499, using sms.
Boomer --- (posted 22/4/2019) ---
Boomer is an absolutely stunning boy who has an anxiety issue. He is a
very healthy boy, who loves people, but is very uncertain with other
dogs, and this is making his life difficult. A home where he can be
the only dog, and have his interactions with other dogs managed is
sought. Boomer needs gentle positive reinforcement of interactions
with other dogs, probably under the guidance of an experienced
trainer or behaviourist. He may never be a confident dog in some
situations. However it would be great to improve his state of mind and
help him relax. For more info on Boomer please contact Daniel at
brophy_21@hotmail.com
Mia --- (posted 5/5/2019) ---
Mia is a quiet and loving girl who's family circumstances have changed
and they can no longer manage her. Mia is able to escape from the
yard, and in order to keep her safe she is having to be tethered when
there is no-one home, and at night. A home that will undertake to keep
her contained, indoors or in a secure yard is sought. Mia has no
specific vices, apart from escaping, especially during storms. She
would probably love to learn to be an indoor dog. For more info on Mia
please contact Steve on 0429 000 102
Zack --- (posted 9/5/2019) ---
Zack is currently in a kennel as his family have moved in different
directions and none of them have the capacity to care for him. Zack is
very cute with an almost entirely black face, and a white nose. He has
a full classic balck and white coat. He
loves his human pack, and is cautious about new people and also
sometimes new dogs. Some work on his social skills would proabbly make
him more relaxed in these circumstances. He's pretty calm about cats.
For more information please contact Jeff at jeffg2303@icloud.com or

Minti --- (posted 22/5/2019) ---
Minti is a very sweet, somewhat anxious girl who is not getting enough
mental or physical stimulation in her current home. A home that wants
to have her as part of their active lives every day is sought. Minti
is OK with children, but her jumping and barking can scare them.
She currently lives happily with a 9 yo boy and another dog. Minti
can't resist stalking the other dog, which is not appreciated, or
chasing her, when a ball is thrown. Minti is somewhat apprehensive
when she encounters strange dogs when out walking, and a gentle program of
continued positive re-inforcement for interactions with other dogs,
would be a good approach. Minti loves chasing cats, and so a home that
doesn't have cats would be best. Minti is still young and has a lot of
love to give. She needs a
home that will put a little time into her continued development. If
you are looking for a new black and white family member who will love
you unconditionally then maybe Minti is the girl for you. For more
info please contact Abbey on 0490111333 or email artymamma@gmail.com
Bindi --- (posted 22/5/2019) ---
Bindi is a gorgeous classic girl with a bit of anxiety. Her family
love her to bits, and they have realised that their lifestyle is
leaving them no time to spend with Bindi. She is being left to
herself, without sufficient mental or physical stimulation. Bindi is
both active and reactive. She wants to be doing stuff! - and if
presented with something that disconcerts her she may decide to bark
at it to chase it away... which in turn disconcerts everyone around
her. She currently lives with children and other animals, two dogs and
two cats. This is pretty harmonious, although Bindi does like to herd
the smaller dog. Bindi has a moderate level of training and walks on
lead. What she now needs is a family who want to do agility or another
active dog sport, where she can use her brain, and her legs, and also
build her confidence. Bindi is currently on a low dose of anti-anxiety
medication, which would need to be maintained. She is fully vetted and
desexed. For more info on Bindi please contact Rowan on 0434606337
Mini Maddie --- (posted 22/5/2019) ---
Mini Maddie is a petite, sweet girl with a few freckles on her nose and soft ears.
Very cute. Her owner has a difficult set of circumstances to
deal with, and Maddie isn't able to get the exercise or attention she
should have. Especially at this young age, Maddie needs to be being
trained, and exercised. Maddie loves people including children. She is
very bouncy, so care needs to be taken if they interact. Desexing will
be a condition of her rehoming. Maddie has a grass allergy and at some
times of the year this adversely affects her skin and coat, and it
will need to be managed, with medication and care. For more info on
this lovely little girl please contact Louise on 0420 356 063.
Bonza --- (posted 22/5/2019) ---
Bonza has very sadly lost his owner, and he is looking for a new
special person in his life. He is a stunning looking boy, he loves to
herd sheep, 'tho he isn't really trained. An active household with
plans for incorporating doggy activity into every day is sought, to
give Bonza focus for his energy. For
more info on Bonza please contact Jacquelin on 0490 172 064
