Hershey

2 years old

Meet Hershey, a sweet and handsome fawn greyhound with a penchant for zoomies 😊. This cautious boy's got a playful streak and loves to get active, but he needs time to warm up to new things. Hershey's a great fit for an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention. Hershey suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with his energetic vibe – no elderly or apartments, please! 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! If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who's always up for a chocolatey good time, Hershey's your guy!

Bingo's a great fit for an active household where she can get plenty of attention and exercise. Bingo suits households with kids 10+ or adults who can keep up with her bouncy energy – no elderly or apartments, please! She needs a backyard to stretch her legs and a robust dog companion (medium to large) if she's not the only dog. Sorry, no cats!

Patrick

6 years old

Patrick has the goofiest face (make sure you check out his 'mid shake' flying tongue photos!) it's hard not to fall in love with him. This adorable guy has a very sweet and personable nature and he will use those striking eyes to demand more treats which he loves. Patrick may be ok living with children 10 and over and with another canine pal of any size. He may also be ok for full time workers.

Luca

4 years old

Perfect Luca, he is sweet, sensitive and soulful. He isn't a massive bubbly personality, but he does give you the warm fuzzies when he comes over and wants to give and receive all the cuddles. He is more of a introvert that loves deeply but doesn't go out of their way to make sure everyone knows it, and honestly, we love that about him. We think this boy will make someone very happy and they will think he is "perfect"! Luca has recently spent time with the behaviour team to prep him ready for the big wide world and he has come away with new skills and his bags packed. We think he may suit living with children 10 and over and maybe even a medium or large canine buddy to live with.

Bronte

5 years old

No items found.
Meet Bronte, a gentle soul with a heart of gold! This quiet and calm girl is a sweet and personable companion who'll bring serenity to her forever home. Bronte loves human interaction and will shower her owners with affection, but she's a bit particular about her personal space. Bronte's looking for a household with no kids or other dogs where she can relax and be herself. She's also sensitive about having her belly touched, so her new owners will need to respect her boundaries. Having completed behavioural rehabilitation, Bronte's ready to find her perfect match - if you're looking for a loving and laid-back companion, Bronte might be the one! Bronte has a low-grade heart murmur that doesn't affect her day-to-day life. Bronte has had a hock fracture repaired prior to GAP entry. She bears weight on this limb and the hock is stable. This lovely dog is not cat tolerant.
