Maggie Mae and Eddie --- (posted 30/11/2020) ---
This affectionate and attention seeking pair are looking for a new
home due to a change in circumstances for their owner. A home is
sought for the two of them together, as they are very attached to each
other. Eddie is the father and Maggie Mae was one of his pups
They need ongoing mental and physical stimulation, and to be part of a
new family. They are not dogs to be left in a backyard. They are both
very intelligent, they love people and they love activity, including
outings, swimming and walks. A home with no small children is sought
as Maggie Mae was hurt by a child when she was a pup and she is wary
of little people.
For more info on this lovely pair please email: annbalharrie1@gmail.com
Harley and Oliver --- (posted 30/11/2020) ---
This pair are in need of a new home due to unforeseen family
circumstances. A home is sought which can take them as a pair, as
Oliver gets anxious when he doesn't know where Harley is. Oliver also
doesn't get along with other dogs, apart from Harley so management of
situations where other dogs might be encountered will be needed.
Oliver has sad eyes which make you just want to give him a hug. He
loves to run and play, and he is a great jumper. Harley is on the
tall side for a BC, a beautiful boy with a happy, dopey face. He loves
his food, and will do anything for a treat. Both dogs are currently
living in a home with a 1 year old, in whom they have shown no
interest. However, neither of them has much experience with young
children and a home with no young children is sought. For more info on
this pair please contact Cara by text in the first instance on 0430
521 233.
Rex --- (posted 3/1/2021) ---
"Rex" 18 month old Male BC. Desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
Not suitable for a home with children. Older teens and above only as
he has bitten a child recently and gets nippy with my toddler.
Is used to cats but will follow/herd them about the house and outside.
Fine when they're sleeping. Will chase horses/sheep etc, has been
kicked before from chasing. This could be trained out of him.
Good with other dogs, can be unsure of larger dogs until he gets to
know them.
Will bond with one person and be loyal to them. Loves affection and
attention from his human. Needs this daily to be happy.
Walks okay using a halti. Knows sit and stay (most of the time)
doesn't have good recall and needs alot of training time put in.
Stays in my yard when I'm not home and he is capable of jumping my
fence. If I am home and leave the gate open he will go for a brief
wander but always returns home within 5-10 minutes.
Forever home needed. Only enquire if you have time to spend with him
and on his training.
Call me if interested in meeting Rex. Bec 0478112195
Oreo --- (posted 4/1/2021) ---
Oreo is a 3 year old male, classically marked border collie with brown
eyes and a shiny, straight coat.
He is affectionate, loyal and sensitive with the two loving adults
he’s been living with in a suburban setting.
He is very good with adult visitors, but is frightened of children and
has growled and nipped at them as a warning in the past. He has never
bitten anyone, but it’s clear he is unhappy and under stress in this
environment. A home with children or frequent young visitors will not
be suitable for him.
A quieter, more rural setting is needed for Oreo, as he also has noise
sensitivity & anxiety (parties, fireworks, construction noise,
lawnmowers, heavy traffic noise etc)
Oreo has been desexed, is up to date with his vaccinations and is
microchipped (but not registered).
He is variable towards other dogs, but is much better with them when
on a leash and being guided- he is much more of a people person.
Oreo has been living on a diet of raw chicken, vegetables, raw eggs
and grains so this should be maintained. He has slept inside his whole life.
Oreo is very obedient and follows commands easily- sit, drop, roll
over, stand, around himself, circling you, through your legs, stay
(including at dinner time while you put food down), come, fetch &
give. Practice these daily and also incorporate new tricks to keep his
mind stimulated.
He’ll be your shadow and make a fantastic companion, following you
everywhere you go.
His favourite activities are playing under the hose & playing fetch-
he is extremely focused and needs to practice fetch daily. Walks
should also be very regular, so someone willing to exercise his body
and mind daily is required.
If you’re a peaceful, adult-only household wanting a loving companion,
Oreo could be the right dog for you.

Alice --- (posted 8/1/2021) ---
Alice is a sleek, black and white girl with classical markings. She
is a dog with limited social skills, and this manifests in her
inability to get along with other dogs. Her attempts to play with
other dogs result in fights, and this is happening in her own
multi-dog household. A home where she can be an only dog, and be
supported to develop some better self-confidence and social skills is
sought. Alice has no experience with cats. With adults, Alice loves to
play and exercise. She pulls a bit on lead, and is used to walking on
a head-collar. She is too reactive for a home with any small children.
If you have experience with an anxious working dog, and if you are
looking for a young, active dog to become the centre of your world, then
Alice might be just what you need. For more info on Alice
please contact Lee (please text first) on 0416236787
River --- (posted 24/1/2021) ---
River is a beautiful petite girl who has some anxiety issues and a
medium level of training. Her reliability with a recall, for example,
varies depending on distractions and incentives. (If you are holding
her toy you will have no trouble.)
She adores her male owner and is very responsive to him. Considerably
less so to others.
Her anxiety triggers include some other dogs, and some people, and she
needs a child-free home with BC experience to set a routine and work on her
self-confidence to try to reduce her concerns. A regime of training
with appropriate positive incentives, in her case games, will support
this and improve her manners. Currently she jumps up when excited and
she pulls on lead when walking.
She loves to play! Massive fan of tug of war and fetching. She will
play all day if she could. She also enjoys sliding in to fetch, which
sometimes sees her damaging a dew claw. Since River needs to be
desexed in her new home, getting these removed at that time would probably be sensible.
River does really well with a routine and lots and lots of exercise and
attention. Routine and exercise change her from anxious back to a
beautiful and happy girl. She is very very lovely and sweet.
She is up to date with heartworm/fleas etc.
She is overdue for her C5 injection.
Her mouth is healthy and she has beautiful teeth.
