Matteo a blue-sky opportunity

Matteo a blue-sky opportunity

Eight-year-old Matteo was a bit of a star on the racetrack and now he is looking for a loving home.

Racing almost 100 times under the name ‘Blue Alcatraz‘, Matteo possessed a strong finishing burst that saw him win on seven occasions.

Although he has a mild Heart Murmur and is a little sensitive on his left hip, Matteo does not need any special care.

You can read more about Matteo and our other dogs available for adoption here.

He needs a backyard to stretch his legs and a medium to large dog companion if he's not the only dog. No cats, thanks!

Ivy

5 years old

Sweet Ivy is a polite and gentle girl that can be a little quiet in new environments but blossoms when she settles in. Ivy is a lover of treats and will soon be your best friend with something yummy on offer. With her sleek body and light coloured eyes gazing up into yours, you wont be able to resist her! We think she may do best in a home with children 10 and over or maybe another male dog of any size. She does like to have some outside space to relax in but may do ok in a home that only has a small yard due to her quiet nature.
