Staffy x - female - 5 years and 10 months
Hi my name is Lola
I’m a 5 year old staffy x
I love going for long walks although I can get a bit excited and pull on the lead. When this happens, my carer has to remind me that I need to walk nicely
I am fully toilet trained and I love my dinner and treats
I love going on new adventures
I really like other dogs but I don’t like those pesky cats unless I can chase them. Im told that this isn’t nice but sometimes I just can’t help it
I get very excited when I’m meeting new people so if you think you are my perfect match then I would love to meet you
Lola has been in foster care since 25 September 2021, for 10 months
Staffy x - female - 5 years and 11 months
Ellie was rescued from the pound when she was heavily pregnant. All of her puppies found fantastic new homes and now Ellie is looking for her new home as well. Due to her previous situation, she is scared of new people and new environments but once she has settled, she is extremely affectionate and loves to sit on your lap. Ellie is good with other dogs and loves to go for walks in quiet areas. Ellie requires a fully fenced backyard and is not suitable for a unit or apartment
Ellie has been in foster care since 25 September 2021, for 10 months
Pug Cross - male - 11 years and 6 months
Phil is an adorable pug mix that the vets estimate to be between 6-7 years old. What he lacks in size he makes up for in personality!
We don’t know anything about Phil’s previous home but when he came to DCH he had extreme flea allergy dermatitis and a yeast infection that caused some hair loss on his chest and around his tail. Phil has come a long way but his new owner would have to be able to commit to a sensitive skin diet and weekly medicated baths to ensure his skin keeps improving!
This handsome man started off very timid and scared at the pound but is now the biggest love bug and adores his human! Due to his rocky start in life Phil can be very wary of new people, especially men And does resource guard his house and favourite beds. Because of this Phil needs a quiet household with no children and no other animals.
Phil is quite an active guy and loves going on regular walks but is still learning what manners are so patience and ongoing training is a must!
Phil is a great companion and would love nothing more than a human that he can spend all his time with. He is toilet and crate trained so would enjoy being a predominately inside dog.
If you think Phil would make the perfect companion for you let us know!
His estimated DOB by the pound has been recorded on his microchip as 1/2/2011 however the vets who have seen him have suggested he is only 6-7 years old.
Located in Lalor Park.
Phil has been in foster care since 27 February 2022, for 5 months
Aussie bulldog - male - 2 years and 10 months
My name is Tank and I’m a very handsome 2.5 year old Aussie bulldog
I came into care after my previous owners could no longer keep me.
I’m lovable and friendly but sometimes I can get a bit excited. My carers have been doing a lot of training with me and I can now walk on a lead nicely and sit when I’m told to. I’ve learnt to meet people nicely even though I’m really excited. I would benefit from ongoing training as sometimes I get really excited and forget my manners
I need to go to a home that has no other pets or young children and someone who understands my breed
My home needs to have a fully fenced backyard where I can run around safely
I’m currently an outside dog but I love coming inside and I’m toilet trained
If you are my forever home then please contact my carer
Tank has been in foster care since 17 April 2022, for 3 months
American Staffy - male - 1 year and 10 months
Hi, I’m Ace! 👋
I'm an almost 2-year old Staffy boy with lots of love to give. Although my family loves me dearly, they’ve made a very hard decision to find another great home for me.
I love people and dogs of all sizes and absolutely love playing with my friends at the dog park.
I'm very easy going and don't even mind if small dogs sit on my back!
I'm a very happy dog and love my exercise and daily walks. I'm a big strong boy, so extra lead training will help.
I would love to be inside with my family for most of the day. High fencing and a big backyard would be ideal.
I would suit owners with previous experience with medium to large dogs and who live an active lifestyle and would give me the exercise I need. I love having kids around, but very small children might be a bit intimidated by my size even though I’m very friendly.
I will miss my furry sibling, so living with another dog would be great, or I could happily soak up
all of your attention on my own!
If you think I’d be a perfect part of your family, please contact Kerrie and Adam on 0411 811 081.
Ace comes:
🐾 desexed
🐾 microchipped (900164002012917)
🐾 flea, tick and worm treated
