*In foster care in Queens Park, NSW* Our gorgeous girl Zeena is one of the smartest little bullies our dog behaviorist, Bear, has ever seen! (And he should know – he’s trained about 100 of them!) Zeena’s foster carers Rachael and Sam love her to bits and, following Bear’s guidance, have worked really hard to get Zeena ready for adoption. She’s an absolute love bug – always at her happiest when snuggling on the sofa or bed with her humans! – and super-sociable too. She adores meeting new people and greets them in a very gentle and affectionate way. While Zeena’s health background is unknown, we do know that long-term sun exposure has severely damaged her underlying dermis. Over time, her basal skin cells will become cancerous and will impact the quality of her life. Specialist visits and testing have established which antibiotics work best for her when she needs them, and cyclosporine will also help with potential allergies and inflammation in her body. Zeena is doing brilliantly in foster care, enjoying her regular bath with Malaseb wash and an application of Bactroban antibiotic cream to any abscesses which may have formed due to the sun damage. She eats a simple diet of dry derma dog food, which has seen her gain quite a bit of weight and has made a massive improvement on her overall health! Like all Maggie's pets, Zeena is microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. **We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at https://form.jotform.co/80677377750872. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile.** MY IDEAL HOME: … will be with an active, loving family with slightly older children who will respect that I am a rescue dog. I have no issue spending lots of time in a backyard, as long as it is fully enclosed and secure – we’ll have so much fun playing and chasing each other around! I definitely need a confident owner who can give me consistent, clear commands. I know what to do but sometimes get confused when I see another dog, so I rely on my human to tell me what to do next. When I trust that you are there for me, I’ll reward you with so much love and affection – oh, and don’t forget those wet bully kisses! MY ENERGY LEVEL: I love to play and run! I’ll need at least one decent walk every day to keep happy and healthy. I’m well behaved in the car if you’d like to take me out for the day, and of course I’m fully house trained! I understand all my commands: sit, stay, lie down on my bed, heel, and stop. MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: While I’m really keen to live in a family home, children will need to be over the age of 10 with family awareness of rescue animals. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: No resident pets, please – I’ll need to be your one-and-only! Other dogs can make me feel very defensive, so please keep me away from dog parks and off-leash areas. We know there is the perfect someone for every single rescue dog – this special, wonderful girl included! If you’re able to help Zeena through adoption, then please follow the link and tell us your story and why Zeena is the dog for you.

*In foster care in Petersham, Sydney* A beautiful bonded pair, Mandarin and Tangerine are real purring machines who adore tummy scratches and lots of pats! With purrsonalities on the 'shy and gentle' end of the scale, they're looking for a relaxed, undemanding home where tender love and care will be found in abundance. These sweet ginger-and-white lads are very laid-back, spending most of the day lazing around in cosy places, but they also enjoy a good romp around their foster home with each other and their toys :) Like all Maggie's pets, Mandarin and Tangerine are microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. **We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at http://www.maggiesrescue.org/adoption-enquiry-cats. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile.** OUR IDEAL HOME: ... will be lovely and peaceful, with lots of furniture for rubbing against, and hiding spots for when we need our space. We'd love the chance to explore the outside world, so a garden or yard where we can sniff around under your supervision would be wonderful. A secure and sunny enclosure would be even better! We've got gorgeous fluffy, medium-length coats, so we'll need a good brush every day too. OUR ENERGY LEVEL: We're very gentle and shy, but that doesn't mean we don't love an energetic play now and then! And when we want attention we'll definitely ask for it :) OUR SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: We're not big fans of loud noises or too much activity - but it's possible that with a gentle introduction to cat-loving children, we might settle nicely into a family home. OUR SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: Since coming into foster care we haven't met any other pets. Our preference would be that we are your 'two-and-only' :) As we search for our fabulous new home, you can keep tabs on us via out foster parents' Instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/atempurraryhome/

*In foster care in Marrickville, Sydney* Aw, Niko - what an absolute sweetheart this little boy is! You'll find his gorgeous picture under 'lovebug' in the dictionary. Incredibly affectionate in every way, Niko *adores* people's feet and shoes - he'll jump on, start playing and give your ankles a big hug! Some of Niko's favourite activities include chasing his own tail until he catches it, snuggling in your arms, and climbing up onto your shoulder for the purrfect view :) Like all Maggie's pets, Niko is microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. **We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at http://www.maggiesrescue.org/adoption-enquiry-cats. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile.** MY IDEAL HOME: I'm very easy to please - as long as the cuddles, yummy food and playtime keep coming! MY ENERGY LEVEL: Kitten! MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: I haven't met any kids yet, but my temperament is pretty easygoing! MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: I've grown up with my siblings, so I'm really well socialised with other cats! I haven't met any dogs yet.

*In foster care in Dulwich Hill, Sydney* Pretty young lady Katie is an amazing Maggie's mum who is just about ready to enjoy the next stage of her life! With her five precious babies raised and adopted, Katie is also on the lookout for a purrfect forever home to call her own - full of love, gentle affection, and an appreciation for her smart, independent nature. Her favourite way to spend the day is laying under a chair with the sun shining on her lovely tabby-and-white coat, dreaming the hours away. Like all Maggie's pets, Katie is microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. **We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at http://www.maggiesrescue.org/adoption-enquiry-cats. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile.** MY IDEAL HOME: ... will be relatively quiet and easygoing, with a loving couple or single person, and plenty of nice warm places for me to sleep and laze around. MY ENERGY LEVEL: I'm very low-maintenance and calm, in general! Play time's not really my thing, so your only job will be to feed me, admire me and give me a nice pat every now and then :) MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Sadly, a family home would be a bit too intense for my personality. MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: Although I've been a wonderful mum, patience is probably not my biggest virtue. (Tails are *not* toys, kids!) I would definitely be happiest as your one-and-only pet.

*In foster care in Marrickville, Sydney* The smallest of all her siblings, Chino has developed a powerful purrsonality to balance her diminutive size! The queen of pleading gazes, this sweet, snuggle-loving and silky-soft girl definitely knows how to get her way. She has a queen-sized appetite, too - so a growth spurt may well be just around the corner! Like all Maggie's pets, Chino is microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. **We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at http://www.maggiesrescue.org/adoption-enquiry-cats. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile.** MY IDEAL HOME: ... will have excellent food and plenty of it, another furry playmate (in a perfect world, but I'm easy), and cuddles on tap! MY ENERGY LEVEL: Kitten! MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Likely to be fine, thanks to my curious, playful nature :) MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: Having grown up in a big, boisterous litter, I'd love to live with another fabulous feline! I haven't had the chance to meet any dogs yet.
