Puddles

Jagger ARP
He's got the moves like Jagger, he has the swag like Jagger but we think our Jagger is much more handsome! This friendly, outgoing and affectionate young lad is ready for his forever home and we cant wait for him to find it. If you have wanted a fun, happy go lucky dog then Jagger is your man. He may suit homes with or without another medium or larger canine friend and children 10 and over. He may also suit living with full time workers (more time to work on his next big hit)!
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.

Zoodles ARP
Zoodles is a quiet, calm and polite girl with a sweet, affectionate nature. She’s personable and still has a touch of puppyish charm, making her a lovely mix of gentle and playful. Zoodles may suit living on her own or small, medium or large dogs, and could be suitable for a home with children aged 10+.

William ARP
Isn’t he just handsome! William is for sure a looker but under that stunning coat is a soft, sweet but shy young man that will need sometime and patience in his new home whilst he learns the lay of the land. He may do best in a quiet and predicable home that will let him come out of his shell in his own time. William will do best with a home that has a yard for him to relax in whilst he transitions as a pet and maybe another a dog of any size. If there are children in the home, then respectful teens (15 and over) would be better for him. Will you be sweet William’s forever home?
