Ripley was originally adopted from us back in 2018 but due to unfortunate circumstances for the owners she is now looking for a new home. She has been very much loved and cared for. She gets on well with dogs for moderate lengths of time - e.g. Half days at daycare. She can play a little rough with other dogs but she might grow out of this. For the moment she is probably best homed without another dog. She's great at meeting other dogs on walks - show's a little interest, will sniff and say hello but is also okay with just walking on past. Ripley walks really well on lead. Minimal pulling. Not a huge fan of lots of traffic rushing past, then you might get more pulling. Loves the beach but is still not sure of the water. She's a medium energy level dog. She's happy being a big old couch potato but does love her daily walk. Ripley absolutely loves food-based toys - her Kong is her favourite thing. She's a strong chewer and needs the stronger toys and she will destroy soft toys fairly quickly. She is very affectionate and loves cuddles and pats. She needs a reasonable amount of attention. Ripley would suit being an indoor/outdoor dog. She likes lying outside during the day when the weather's nice. Friendly when meeting new people generally, but is not the gushy type. Ripley is semi-crate trained. She understands it as HER space with her bed, happy to go sit in there and chill out but she's never been shut in there. It has been used more as her own retreat when she needed time alone etc. Ripley knows how to sit and come when called. Her recall is fairly reliable but she does get distracted if you let her wander for too long. With a bit more training she'll be fine off-leash at the beach etc but it's something that needs a bit more training. When Ripley does bark she stops pretty quickly and is easy to distract.

This bonded brother and sister are some of our longest residents and have been looking for a home for easily over 12 months . They are both very lovely respectful cats who get along with the other animals I think they get overlooked because they crouch when you first put your hand on them to pet them but they don't have a bad bone in their bodies they are finally getting used to the idea that some humans are actually pretty cool . Can anyone offer these two a permanent residence to call their own ? Their names are "Brin" and "Tully" they are 4-5 years old fully vet worked . Adoption fee $60 for the pair

Lola is a 18 month old papered pure-bred American Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Am Staff). Lola is such a good girl she has been great with children and is so well behaved at training with potential to really excel as she is such a responsive girl. She walks so well on a lead and travels brilliantly in the car. She has mastered sit, watch, stay, puppy recall and almost got drop and stand mastered as well. Lola must be rehomed as an only pet. The reason she was surrendered to us is that she was clashing with the other male dog in the household. Lola is happy to hold space beside another dog but does not like to directly interact with them she very much prefers people company over dog company. Lola can be quite nervous settling into new situations but once settled is just a pleasure (she will need time in this area though) she is a very smart girl and loves brain buster activities and toys that she has to work at to get a reward. For a young dog she is very well behaved. She is not a barker, digger, jumper, chewer - just a very well mannered girl who is looking for someone to love her like she deserves
