Mr Ted - ADOPT
Meet Mr Ted.
At 10 years young, Mr Ted is a very happy little fellow looking for someone to share his life with.
He's a Maltese/Chihuahua cross, weighing in at just under 5kg and is a lovely little companion.
He enjoys his walks, is good with other gentle, friendly dogs and travels well in the car, so he's quite happy to come along for the ride.
At the end of the day, he loves to sleep on the bed snuggled up against your leg.
Ted would be happiest in an adult home without children, where he can enjoy his quiet time, walks, outings and plenty of quality time with his people.
He's healthy, vet checked, desexed and vaccinated. Now all he needs is a home of his own.
Adoption $895

Oreo - ADOPT
Say hello to Oreo, a sweet, affectionate 1 year old Cavoodle weighing 10kg.
Oreo is still very much a puppy with lots of energy.
He's clever, eager to please and thrives on praise and positive reinforcement which makes him a great candidate for someone who will enjoy continuing his training and watching him flourish.
Oreo loves being part of the action, chasing a ball, splashing in the water, snuggling up on the lounge or just being part of what you're doing.
He's house trained, sleeps through the night, travels beautifully in the car and already knows to sit and wait before meals.
Like many young dogs, he's still learning and will need patience, guidance and consistency to settle well and grow in confidence.
New places and unfamiliar situations can make him excited or a little unsure and he can be wary of some men.
He'll need a secure yard where he can burn off energy and a family committed to providing his ongoing training, setting clear boundaries and offering him plenty of enrichment.
Oreo forms strong bonds with his humans and doesn't enjoy being left alone for long periods.
He can become mouthy and will jump up during over excited play, so he'll be best suited to an active home with experienced owners who can redirect his enthusiasm and energy appropriately.
Oreo will make a loyal and loving companion and will do best in a home without children.
A quiet natured female dog may work for him although he will probably do better as an only pet.

Mia - ADOPT
At just two years old, Mia is a beautiful chocolate Poodle x who was born with vision impairment due to a genetic condition.
Mia absolutely adores people and seems to think every dog she meets is an instant friend.
She's gentle, affectionate and a pleasure to walk or take to any social situation.
She even thinks going to the vet is awesome.
Because Mia is vision impaired, she'll need a home that understands her unique needs.
She can be easily startled if someone approaches quietly from the side, so she needs calm, patient people who will always let her know they are there.
Gentle handling isn't just preferred for Mia - it's essential. She has the sweetest nature and deserves humans who will treat her with the same kindness she gives so freely.
She would also benefit from someone who is home a lot or able to take Mia with them when they go out.
Mia does require daily eye drops which she takes in her stride.
A home without stairs is also a must. Mia has no depth perception, making stairs unsafe for her.
The wonderful news is that Mia is otherwise a happy, healthy young dog.
4 Paws will cover any veterinary expense related to her eye condition for life (conditions apply).
Her adoption fee will be waived.
Mia must remain on the Sunshine Coast where she can visit our vet at Warana for any required treatment for her eyes.
She is best suited to a home without children.
A small, gentle dog companion would be welcome.

Romeo & Ballerina - ADOPT
Meet Romeo and Ballerina — two little dogs looking for a fresh start.
They’ve been very loved companions who adore attention and being close to their people.
We’re told they’re a bonded pair and, while we get to know them better, it’s clear they take comfort in each other’s company.
Ballerina, the chocolate poodle, is 5 years old and the social butterfly of the pair.
She loves everyone she meets and would happily play fetch all day if given the chance.
Sweet, affectionate and playful, she brings the fun wherever she goes.
Romeo, the Maltese, is 4 years old and appears to be the more sensitive of the two. He bonds deeply with his people and is happiest curled up close beside you.
Romeo can be wary of men, particularly those in high-vis workwear.
Romeo and Ballerina are used to being spoiled with love and attention.
They sleep on the bed, enjoy being close to their humans and are looking for a calm, loving home where they can settle.
We’re looking for a home on the Sunshine Coast with no children and no other pets please.
Adoption - $995 each
