Animals in our care

Winnie has recently come into care with DCH after sadly being abandoned by her previous owner. At 7 years old, this beautiful girl has already faced more than her fair share of challenges, including undergoing orthopedic surgery to repair her leg.

The good news is that Winnie is recovering wonderfully and taking everything in her stride. Her gentle nature and positive attitude have made her an absolute pleasure to care for during her recovery.

Winnie has a lovely temperament and gets along well with other dogs. She is affectionate, sweet-natured, and has quickly won the hearts of everyone she meets. It's hard to believe that such a gorgeous girl has found herself looking for a new beginning.

Once she has fully recovered and receives the all-clear from her vet, Winnie will be ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family who can offer her the love, security, and commitment she truly deserves.

After everything she has been through, Winnie is ready to leave her past behind and find a forever home where she will be cherished for the wonderful dog she is.

Winnie's surgery has come to $2700 and we are seeking donations to help cover that cost. If you can donate towards Winnie please click the donate button..

Penelope has made a pitstop at Sutherland while she waits to be adopted. Penelope (Penny) was not coping in the Pound environment, so was offered to DCH Animal Adoptions where she is now thriving. Current weight is 5.3kg. Penny was initially scared of everything and everyone but is thriving in a quiet household with 4 other canines.

Penny is very quiet, sweet and waits her turn for affection, eats well and is very submissive. Penny will thrive in a relaxed household and would benefit from another confident dog in order to learn how to dog. Ongoing training to walk on lead is needed by her family as she gets scared from noises and wants to retreat. Penny has mastered the doggie door and when she toilets outside, it is celebrated.

Penny's ideal family is one that can offer her lots of returned affection, has respectful family members and patience whilst she learns to walk on lead.

If you would like to meet the beautiful Penelope, please contact her foster carer by email as this would be the best form of contact, as we are all volunteers and are not always able to answer the phone.
