These pets have been saved, thanks to their rescuer and the kindness of foster carers who are looking after them temporarily, but they are still looking for homes. Please note that descriptions of dogs as either purebred or a cross of particular breeds is given in good faith and is based on assessment of the dog's features, together with veterinary opinion. We cannot guarantee the age, breed or purebred status of any dogs listed.

There is a two week trial period if you decide you would like to adopt a dog. This is to ensure that everyone is happy with their new family member and also that the dog is happy in their new home.

Dogs and Puppies Rescued by Ronda
 

DIGGER

Male Tenterfield Terrier (Mini Foxy)

Aged approx. 12 months

Toy size


Little Digger is a sociable little fella with humans of all ages and dogs of all sizes. He loves a lap to chill out on but, when no one is home, he’s happy to chill with another doggy pal. Even though he gets along well with large size dogs, Digger isn't strong enough to play full on with them so a toy to small size female pal would be ideal. An all working or all school household would be fine for Digger as long as the yard area is secure (no gaps under fences and gates) as he knows how small he is! Digger's coat is the low maintenance type and just needs a good brush through every week. A home visit will be carried out for this breed so only coastal NSW areas north of Sydney and Greater Sydney areas will be considered (no interstate adoptions)

 


 ELLE

Female Kelpie X

Aged 12 months

Medium size
 

My name is Elle - Elle by name and Elle by looks as she's elegant and striking to look at! Eclipse, (now Elle) was left one night at the Pound tied up to a sign in which she became tangled. Next morning, the Pound Staff took her in when they arrived and she hasn’t looked back since. Elle loves her food and 'vacuums' everything up so is now feeding from a ‘puzzle’ bowl to slow her down to fully digest the nutrients. She is learning from her foster carer’s doggies how to play bow, do zoomies or sit for treats and would make an excellent Agility dog. Her athleticism is outstanding and she's very treat motivated to learn new tricks. Elle is ideally suited as a companion to an active owner - perhaps a jogger, beach runner, forest bather or power walker who works from home and is willing to continue her obedience training. Her coat is low maintenance so just needs a good brush through once a week. A home visit will be carried out so only coastal NSW areas north of Sydney and Greater Sydney areas will be considered (no interstate adoptions).

OLLIE
Male Staffy X Shar Pei

Aged 18 months

Medium size
 

Ollie is one cool dude ........... chills out either inside or outside the house but his athleticism makes him an ideal, 'take anywhere' companion for a daily jogger or beach walker. Ollie is a very active and social lad and interested in what you’re doing so whether you're working in your yard or garden he’s hanging around but not in your way! Moves like a Panther, is responsive to training and would also be Top of the Class at Agility as he loves a job to do from his human minders. Ollie sits for food, rides well in the car and has been taught to lead walk. He would be an ideal dog for a work from home, active owner who also likes to check out the dog friendly cafes nearby for a puppacino or two! Ollie's coat is low maintenance so only needs a brush through each week which he loves! A home visit will be carried out for this breed so only coastal NSW areas north of Sydney and Greater Sydney areas will be considered (no interstate adoptions).

SOOKIE

Female Lhasa Apso X Maltese

Aged approx. 10 years

Small size


Sookie has been a house dog that craves and loves attention but sadly is now looking for a new home due to a change in her owner's circumstances. She would make an ideal companion for a senior person needing only a short walk around the block on a regular basis for both of them as they grow older together watching TV. Sookie hasn't lived with children or dogs and is untested with cats but she did once live with a guinea pig and they had 'friendly relations'! Her coat is the non-allergenic, grooming type so a few trips to the doggy beauty salon each year is required.

SUZY Q

Female Wire Haired Terrier X

Aged approx. 18 months

Toy size

                      

Suzy Q came out of the Pound as an underweight, unworldly young doggy who'd had no lead training and needed to gain confidence with other people and dogs (especially large size ones). Thanks to her foster carer’s dogs (also ex-Poundies) she’s coming along in leaps and bounds and learning commands, the play bow etc. To continue her confidence progress we’re looking for a forever home with a small dog of similar age and male gender. An all working, all school family would be fine as Suzy Q adores young children though active retirees are also suitable as she’s a ‘snuggle bunny’ and loves her active play times with another doggy pal. Suzy Q is Chihuahua size currently weighing only 4.4kg. Her coat is low maintenance just requiring a good brush through each week.
 

MOLLIE 

Aged 7 months (at Aug 2022)

Medium size (when fully grown)


Just like her siblings (Ash, Barty and Ollie) Mollie is ideally suited to an active family who have another dog of similar age for company if they are all working or at school during the day. Mollie loves playing fetch with a ball so would need a medium sized day yard where they could energise each other. Her foster carer has taught Mollie to sit for food and she is well socialised around dogs of all ages. Although formal training will be needed in a few months time Mollie is well on her way to being a rescue doggy ambassador. Her coat is low maintenance so only needs a brush through each week (which she loves along with tummy rubs!). A home visit will be carried out for this breed so only coastal NSW areas north of Sydney and Greater Sydney areas will be considered (no interstate adoptions).
