"Puka" - Perth, WA - **** ON TRIAL ***
'Puka' is a 1.5yr old boy in need of a new home. His date of birth is 19/10/2019.
Temperament: Puka is an absolute delight! He ADORES people. He can be a little unsure of himself when in a new situation or seeing a new person but within seconds he’s wiggling up to them and leaning in for cuddles.
His original owner said he doesn't like other dogs, however he hasn't shown any aggression at all towards dogs in the kennels. He could be homed with another calm dog of similar size. A home where someone is home a lot is preferred, and able to adequately contain him if he's home alone. Reacts badly to cats. Ideally he should be the only pet where he can receive all the human love as he just LOVES people!! He’s honestly just the sweetest boy, hopefully you can see that in these pics.
Obedience training: Good with walking on a lead (harnessed), he can sit on command.
Health: he has no known health issues. He's vaccinated and desexed. He's a smaller boy at about 50kgs, perfect snuggle size!!
He was surrendered as his owner was FIFO and with the COVID restrictions, he was unable to go home for long periods of time, so Puka wasn't getting the attention he needed, and no stability.
Price: $440
If you think you are the right home for Puka, please fill out the Application form (CLICK HERE) and we will be in touch.

"Jordie" - Arcadia (North West Sydney) NSW
Jordie is a 4yr old Dogue de Bordeaux cross. He only just turned 4, DOB 01/08/2017. He weighs approx 35kgs.
Temperament: Jordie has a lovely temperament. He is very loving & affectionate. He can be a little nervous around people when first meeting them, but once settled is very sweet. I am unsure how he would be with young kids, but I would advise no young children. The original owners noted he was nervous around young children.
He is dog aggressive & reactive. We have been working on this with him. He will now be calm in the presence of another dog (both dogs on lead) about 1.5m away. This is something that will constantly need to be worked on, however Jordie won't ever be a dog that goes to dog parks etc. Jordie will need to be the only pet in the home.
He isn't destructive & is very relaxed in his kennel. He is not food aggressive & he loves enrichment feeding!
Obedience training: Jordie is very smart & loves learning. Will do anything for treats! He knows the basics, sit/drop/stay. He also has a fantastic recall & walks well on lead. We have also trained him on 'touch', where he will touch our hand with his mouth and he also knows 'place' as a command for him to go to his bed while we enter his kennel etc. He hasn't been crate trained, but I think he would do well in a crate overnight.
Health: Jodie is desexed, vaccinated, wormed and has no known health issues.
Adoption fee: $350

"Jessie" - Charmhaven NSW
4.5 Year Old Female Dogue de Bordeaux
Jessie girl has been in our care for a number of months regaining her health and putting on some much needed weight. During this time it has been wonderful to watch her blossom and we are so excited for her next journey……. to find her a perfect forever home.
Jessie is a sweet soul. We have been working on building up her confidence with humans and other canine friends. She has always shown to be friendly but she has a sensitive side and will retreat if she is not comfortable. Her new family will need to be mindful of this and not push her to be in situations that will cause her unnecessary concern.
Jessie is great with non-invasive canine friends. She has lovely manners towards them and quickly initiates play. She has shown interest in our facility cats so a home without them would be ideal.
Jessie is a clever young lady. She can sit, shake, drop and roll over when asked. Walks are a highlight for Jessie. She gets so much enjoyment out of investigating, sniffing, splashing in puddles and being allowed lots of time to explore her surroundings.
Due to her size, a family with older children would be a great fit for Jessie. Jessie has not had the best start to life so it is imperative that her new family are committed to providing her with a forever loving home where she will feel secure, loved and at ease. Preference will be given to potential adopters who have experience with her breed or larger breeds in general.
If you have secure fencing, in a position to provide this precious girl with everything she needs, please lodge your interest online www.socaresanimalcarefacility.com.au/adoptions
Jessie’s adoption fee covers her microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, up to date vaccination, worming & flea treatments.

"Dozer" - Rockhampton, QLD
*** FOSTER OR PERMANENT HOME NEEDED
This snaggle-tooth 5.5 yr old boy was rescued from Rockhampton Pound, and was very underweight, and has long-term damage to both cruciate ligaments. He is slowly gaining weight and confidence, and responding well on anti-inflammatory medication.

The family will also have older or no children as he is a bit of a goofball despite the pain his knees must give him! He is fine with other dogs, playing with a 6mth DDB pup, and being submissive to an aged DDB.
Dozer is desexed and up to date with his vaccinations.
Microchip number: 900012001115313
Adoption fee: TBA (as he will need ongoing care, we will negotiate this with potential adoptors)
