DSH - male - 1 year and 5 months
Rusty (male) and Dora (female) have been in the same foster home since 5 weeks old and, although initially timid, are now loving, cuddly house-trained cats. The siblings are used to being together and are well-bonded.
They are house cats but do like to spend their evenings outside smelling the plants and soaking up the sunshine in their enclosed garden. Rusty, the male, is adventurous and playful. He takes some warming up to new people but once you have his trust he will follow you around like a shadow. He's a fluffy and gorgeous little chap! Dora, the female, is calmer than her brother and likes to spend hours curled up in your lap. She likes most people and things, except the vacuum cleaner! They are very cute and responsive to their owners, they even come running when their names are called.
Rusty and Dora are both wonderful companions and will make any home better. Looking for a loving home that would eventually allow the cats to roam safely outside (during the day only) as well as lounge inside, and without dogs (as Rusty isn't a fan).

Lulu's lively demeanor makes her an ideal addition to any family seeking a furry companion or someone craving constant cuddles and playful antics.

Currently approx 1.8kg.
Ideal Home: Lulu is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. She adores exploring the outdoors during the day and snuggling up indoors at night. Since she's still a young pup, she'll benefit from training sessions and attending puppy school to help her develop into a well-behaved and socialized dog.
Requirements: Lulu's future family should be committed to providing her with a safe and nurturing environment. Regular exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love are essential for this bubbly pup to thrive.

Meet Fawny: Your New Furry Companion
Are you looking for a gentle-natured and loving addition to your family? Look no further than Fawny, the adorable Chihuahua Cross with what's believed to be hint of Foxie in her genes. Fawny may be a bit shy at first, but her loving and gentle nature shines through once she feels comfortable.
Fawny's journey to finding her forever home has been quite the adventure. She was found in a park, nestled in a box with her siblings during a rainstorm. Thankfully, she was rescued and received medical care for hypothermia. Now, she's thriving and ready to bring joy to a loving family or someone seeking a loyal companion.
Despite her rough start, Fawny has a heart full of love to give. She adores human company and will eagerly cuddle up with you and loves tummy rubs. Whether you're looking for a furry friend to join your family or a companion to share your days with, Fawny is the perfect match.

She has been desexed and has received her first and second vaccinations, ensuring she's healthy and ready for her new home.
Fawny is used to both indoor and outdoor living. She enjoys exploring the outdoors during the day and snuggling up indoors at night. If you have a loving home where Fawny can be both an inside and outside dog, she will thrive in your care. With her white colour, care needs to be taken with her limiting her outdoor time.
To help Fawny reach her full potential, she will benefit from training and attending puppy school. This will not only help her with her food aggression but also ensure she grows into a well-mannered and happy dog.

Domestic Short Hair - female - 3 months and 4 weeks
Daisy should have been named Dennis-the-menace as she is the most playful kitten her foster carer has come across!
She is constantly running around the house, jumping on toys, wrestling the resident cat, climbing onto the indoor pot plants, batting at your toes and loving life. She is a super energetic cat and LOVES playing...whether it's chasing toys, climbing the scratching tree, swiping at feathers or jumping on your head as you sleep.
Daisy likely won't be a super snuggly, cuddly type of cat, but she will have a snooze beside you, and you can pick her up for a smooch and a cuddle....she would just rather be active and playing! She starts purring instantly whenever you pat her, and she will definitely keep you entertained with her antics.
Because of her outgoing personality she must be rehomed to a household with an existing cat, and a strictly indoor only home. (She would be a proficient hunter and decimate wildlife if allowed outside!) Daisy is going through a phase of playing and trying to wrestle with your hand so is better suited to a home without young children at this time.
Daisy has never had a toileting accident and always uses her litter tray, and we're teaching her to use her scratching post consistently. She is available to meet and greet in Riverstone, NSW and will be able to go to her new home as soon as she is desexed.
Daisy has been in foster care since 06 March 2024, for 3 weeks
Staffy x - male - 9 months and 4 weeks
Unfortunately Lincoln hasn't had the best start in life, he was found with another dog very emaciated and in need of urgent care. After coming into Foster Care with us he has put on much needed weight and his personality has shone through.
Lincoln is a very gentle, sweet dog that has a fun but calm nature. He has been good with other dogs while in care and is now ready to find the Forever Home he deserves.
Lincoln currently weighs in at 10kg and we don't think he will grow much more if at all. He is a young, beautiful dog and at around 9 months old he has his whole life to look forward to.
Lincoln is located in Londonderry 2753
Sponsorship Required
Due to his poor start to life and being so underweight Lincoln has had to have more vet attention than most to rule out any underlying conditions. He also required some baby teeth to be extracted. His vet fees have come to $1,007 and we are seeking sponsorship to cover some of these additional expenses.
Lincoln has been in foster care since 09 March 2024, for 3 weeks
