4 Paws Dogs
If you are interested in having a 4 Paws canine friend as a new addition to your family then choosing to adopt, foster or become a permanent carer is a great decision.
The dogs shown below are all in need of a safe home, either on a temporary Foster basis, through Adoption or by joining your household as a 4 Paws Permanent Resident.
FOSTER CARE - These dogs are in need of a temporary foster home whilst we prepare them for adoption. To read more about our Foster Program and to submit an application to get involved as a Foster Carer please click here.
ADOPT - These dogs are in need of a new family. Adopting a 4 Paws dog enables you to be fully responsible for their care when they join your family. To read more about our Adoption process and to submit an Adoption Enquiry to be considered as their new owner please click here.
To read about the experiences of those who have already adopted see our Happily Ever After Stories
PERMANENT CARE - These dogs are usually elderly or are special needs dogs that require safe and loving care for the remainder of their days. 4 Paws covers all veterinary expenses for these dogs. To read more about our Permanent Resident program and to submit an enquiry to become a Permanent Carer please click here.
If you are unable to care for a Permanent Resident however, you would still like to help them consider Sponsoring a Permanent Resident, please click here to learn more.
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.

Paxxy - ADOPT
Meet Paxxy - he's a 1 year old (DOB 18 June 2025) Pomeranian x Spitz who is ready to find a family to call his own.
He's been surrendered because of a change in his family circumstances.
Paxxy is settling in beautifully with his foster carer and is loving the routine and comfort of home life.
With a consistent home environment, socialisation and lots of love, Paxxy has come a long way in such a short time.
He’s proving to be a happy, affectionate fluffball who loves making friends with other dogs and people - he adores belly rubs and cuddles.
He’s learning fast and shows excitement when he hears the word "walkies".
He’s constantly being praised for how beautifully he walks on lead and for the positive behaviours he’s showing in social settings.
He’s still very much a puppy at heart too — playful, curious, and always ready for a bit of fun.
He’s also toilet trained, sleeps through the night and has picked up his basic skills quickly.
And speaking of fluff — one of Paxxy’s standout features is his soft golden coat. It’s surprisingly easy to maintain with a gentle brush, and even more surprising, he barely sheds. For a boy this fluffy, he’s wonderfully low‑maintenance.
He's dog friendly so can be rehomed with a suitable gentle natured canine friend.
Paxxy is learning to be independent when home alone.
Paxxy's ideal match would be a family/couple/individual with no small kids (over 12 yrs is fine), someone that is active and can commit to the exercise and ongoing training required and without cats or other pets.
He's vet checked, desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and worm and flea treated.
