Megan & Romeo

Romeo came into our lives at the end of January after things hadn’t quite worked out in a previous home. We were told he just needed a chance, and a bit of time, and those words couldn’t have been more true.

When he first arrived, Romeo was nervous and standoffish. For the first few weeks, he kept mostly to himself, taking his time to observe and adjust. But with each passing day, we began to see glimmers of the gentle, goofy soul hiding underneath.

As the weeks turned into months, Romeo began to relax, and his gorgeous personality slowly unfurled. Exactly three months after he arrived, Romeo made a very important decision: he claimed the couch as his own… and hasn’t looked back since! These days, Romeo is thriving. He loves his daily “walkies” and takes his sniffari duties very seriously (though he’s still working on walking in a straight line… swerving is kind of his thing). He’s an early riser and insists on morning cuddles to start the day off right.

Routine is everything to Romeo, especially when it comes to dinnertime! He has a special love for anything plush, particularly his beloved Bruce the Shark. He's also developed a hilarious habit of hoarding random household items and has a soft spot for shredding Woolies paper bags (one is never enough). And if you can’t find your uggs, chances are Romeo’s off somewhere giving them a thorough lick! Romeo has the sweetest, most gentle nature. He’s kind, sensitive, and endlessly endearing.

The early growing pains were real, but watching him come out of his shell has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. We’re so lucky to have him.

Love Megan

Talk about a big softie! This lovely boy is such a sweetheart, he leans into you pats and looks up to you with his big eyes. He can be a little shy in new environments but soon bounces back to his joyful self! We think he may suit many households as long as there is a nice yard for him to relax and explore in.

Ravioli

2 years old

This delicious girl has her eyeliner on and is ready to hit the streets and show off her glamourous looks! Maybe even stopping for a bite to eat at your favourite Italian spot! Miss Ravioli is not only beautiful, she is sweet, kind and affectionate. She can be a little reserved at first but soon warms up and leans in for a cuddle. We think she may suit living with children10 and over and maybe even another medium or larger male canine for company. We also think she would be best off in a home that has a yard as she is still only young and can take her time to adjust to new environments.

But she will blossom as a sweet, puppyish girl that is excitable and bubbly when she is comfortable. We think she may suit living as an only dog or with another medium to large male canine companion and somewhere

Sue ARP

2 years old

Meet the beautiful little Sue! Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but she is also super sweet. Sue is a very gentle girl and can come across as a tad shy and puppyish to begin with but doesn't take her long to let her lovely personality shine bright. She can be a little on the anxious side at times so would benefit from having a patient and understanding family, who are willing to show her that she's doing okay and help teach her about the world. She may suit living as an only dog or with a canine companion of similar size, who is calm and respectful. She may suit living with children from 10 years and older. Due to her puppyish nature, we don't think Sue would be suitable to live in an apartment and needs a yard to let out those zooms. Look at that little face! She really is a character once she lets her hair down. Good girl, Sue! THIS LOVELY DOG WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT OUR UPCOMING ADOPTION DAY ON SUNDAY 27TH JULY! REGISTER VIA GAP WEBSITE.

This trusty side-kick may even suit apartment living due to his placid nature! He would likely be ok with children aged 5 or older and is ok to live with full time workers. Good boy Rocko, your heart is as big as your appetite and we're here for it! THIS LOVELY DOG WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT OUR UPCOMING ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY 27TH JULY.

Cricket

7 years old

JIMINY CRICKET! Its the next love of you life waiting for you to come get her! Our Cricket is a absolute sweetheart that everyone falls in love with. She is quiet, sensible, laidback and gentle, but then when you bring her toys out she is a bouncy, fun, excited girl that loves to play (she is still trying to master the part where she brings the toys back to you though!). Cricket has spent sometime learning about other breeds of dogs and how to greet them and is ready to show off her new skills. She may suit many homes including an apartment or even with an older owner. She may also like living with Children 5+ and another medium or larger male companion. Cricket has Pannus, an autoimmune disease of the eyes. this is controlled and maintained with daily drops. He also has an old elbow fracture, which has some arthritis in it. We have started a course of pentosan injections (arthritis injections) to help with this. THIS LOVELY GREYHOUND WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT OUR UPCOMING ADOPTION DAY ON SUNDAY 27TH JULY!

Harriet is a placid girl once she gets her 5 minutes of energy out, and she says that a daily walk is a must!
