Dogs available for adoption
If you have thought about having a furry friend as an addition to your family then choosing to adopt is a great decision.
To adopt a dog, please carefully read about our adoption process and complete the Adoption Enquiry form to express your interest in adopting one of our rescue dogs.
Dogs that are also in need of a temporary Foster Carer until they are adopted are marked as such.
Please note that only shortlisted applications will be contacted.
Our website is kept up to date with all our available dogs, therefore if there are none currently available or none that suit your family then please remember you could Foster a dog or become a Permanent Carer. Our 4 Paws Permanent Residents requiring a permanent carer are also listed below.

Cassie
Meet Cassie, a 6 month old Dachshund.
She's a sweet natured little girl and everything a puppy should be.
She was surrendered to us due to a change in family circumstances and is a healthy, happy and active girl with lots of puppy energy.
Cassie is affectionate and curious and loves being close to her people. She'll follow you around the house to check out what you're doing and keep a close eye on you.
She would thrive in a home that understands puppyhood and will give her lots of patience, guidance, gentle training and most of all, love.
She's still working out the finer points of toilet training however, she's a quick learner and eager to please.
Cassie is interacting well with other dogs and has met a cat in her current foster home, however a new home with a cat would need to be assessed on a case by case basis - we can not be sure how she'd go with different cat in a new situation.
We're seeking a home where she'll be cherished as a much loved family member not just now, but for all the years to come.
If you feel you can welcome a puppy into your home and give her the lifetime of love and devotion she deserves, please submit your application
Adoption fee $1,300

Zym
Zym is a delightful Chihuahua x Pomeranian male. He's 2 years old.
Zym is a sweet, playful young dog with a big heart and plenty of puppy charm.
He still has that youthful energy and he loves his toys.
He’s toilet trained using a doggy door and isn’t a fussy eater (a rare find for a small dog!).
On walks, Zym is generally well-behaved on the lead—he might pull a little at times—however, he loves his outings and travels well in the car.
He’s completed puppy school and knows some of the basics, though he’d definitely benefit from ongoing training, especially to strengthen his recall.
Zym would do best in a home on a quiet street with a secure fence and limited visual distractions.
He thrives on routine, regular walks, and consistent structure.
When meeting other dogs in calm settings, Zym is friendly and playful—he’d love to have another young dog as a playmate. He has also lived with a cat.
Zym would make a wonderful companion for an active individual or a family with older children who can match his energy and give him the attention and love he deserves.
Adoption $995

Coco & Connie
Coco and Connie are the best of friends and must be rehomed together.
Connie is a 3 year old Cavoodle (on the right in the photo) and Coco (larger, darker in colour and on the left in the photo) is a 2 year old Cavoodle.
These girls are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.
Coco and Connie are healthy, gentle natured dogs but feeling shy and timid at the moment due to their recent change in circumstances.
However, their foster carer reports they're improving every day and becoming more inquisitive and open to their new surroundings.
They eat, sleep and play together. Connie and Coco thrive on affection, pats and cuddles and love the company of their humans.
Being young dogs, they are very energetic and enjoy zoomies in the back yard, chasing, playing and also relaxing and laying in the sun.
Coco and Connie don't seem to be accustomed to walking on the lead and will benefit from some training. They do however, interact well with other dogs that they meet and they travel well in the car.
Adoption fee is $995 EACH and they must be adopted as a pair

Jerry
Meet Jerry!
Jerry is an 8 year old male, Prague Ratter and a tiny little gentleman weighing just 2.2kg.

Jerry is quiet, loyal and gentle. He’ll do best in a peaceful home with easy access to outdoor space for toileting and a comfy bed right beside you at night.

Eddie
We are seeking a PERMANENT CARER for Eddie.
Eddie is a Terrier Mix, he's 5 years old and weighs 4kg.
Eddie needs a calm place to continue his journey before he’s ready for the full hustle and bustle of family life.
He’s had a lot of change recently and what will help him most right now is a patient Permanent Foster home where he can feel safe, decompress and let his true personality shine through.
Eddie doesn’t want the noise and excitement of a busy household. Instead, he’s looking for a quiet environment with people who understand that good things take time. In the right setting, he’ll relax, learn routines and build confidence at his own pace.
If you can provide:
- A calm, predictable home with no other dogs or a possibly a small female dog
- Patience to let him come out of his shell
- Gentle guidance as he learns the basics
…then you could be the perfect Permanent Carer for Eddie.
Eddie is already showing how far he can come with a little love and stability.
In just two weeks, he has:
- Learned his new name
- Mastered the doggie door
- Stopped having accidents inside
- Begun playing with another small female furry friend and even discovered the joy of toys!
When Eddie first arrived, he was completely unsocialised, very timid and had trouble even walking. Now, he’s running around, enjoying his food and curling up in his bed.
He’s still shy at times and may hide under the table when he feels unsure but step by step, he’s learning what it means to simply be a dog.
By opening your home to Eddie, you’re not just fostering you’re helping a gentle boy continue his transformation into the happy, confident dog he was meant to be.
