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

Like a precious gemstone, our Crystal is one of a kind. She is a pretty little blue girl that has the cutest little snoot! Crystal may be small but she has a big, friendly personality.

Fettuccine

3 years old

This delicious dish is served with a big helping of love, a cute curly tail and a sprinkle of playfulness. Our Fettuccine is one to try! She is always happy and she loves to zoom around. We think a nice backyard for her to play in and a family that will take her on adventures would best suit her. She has recently completed some extra behavioural training here at GAP and is ready to fill you hearts with affection and your bellies with laughter. She may also suit living with children 10 and over and other medium or larger male companion.

Larry

1 years old

Larry the loveable larrikin is ready to bounce into his new forever home! Larry is one of a kind, not only is he a handsome, sleek and full of life, he has one very 'small' difference that makes him stand out! He has almost no tail! Poor Larry wagged and wagged till he couldn't wag it anymore (happy tail is a real thing!). Larry is still very much a puppy and although has come such a long way at GAP with extra training, he will benefit from a family willing to continue his manners training in the real world. Larry may be ok with children 15 and over and certainly will be better in a home with a backyard as he loves to zoom and play with toys. He may also be ok with another like-minded medium or larger canine companion.
