They say a Husky never really grows up and well I would have to agree. My microchip says that I am 9 years old, but you wouldn’t know it. I still love my walks and adventures and have years left of love to give in this cute little pocket rocket of a body. What I need in order to do that, is a Furever Family – and that my friends, is where you come in! First things first though, you need to know some things about me so you can decide if I might be just the right fit for your family. Family is one of the most important things to me. I love all people and have grown up with kids of all ages. I get very excited to see children out and about and I would love some in my new home. If there aren’t any, that is ok too but I would like to be the centre of attention. I really enjoy time inside with my people as much as I can, but will also happily retreat outside if you have to go out. To keep me safe and secure in the yard, I will need the usually Husky set-up, 6ft fences with no ability to squeeze out or dig through underneath. There isn’t much of me to find a little escape route to freedom! The main reason I might go looking for trouble on the outside is if I spot something to chase. I was born with the Husky prey drive gene and so small animals like birds, lizards, possums and cats are all fair game and not safe in my reach. Not all animals are off my list though. I don’t mind the company of other dogs. I currently live with an easy going male and we get along just fine. He is not allowed near my food though, that is mine! I would be ok as an only dog in a home with people home more often than not, otherwise if there is another easy-going dog my size or larger, then that is ok too. Are you still thinking that maybe I could be the new family member for you? I might be all cute and little and stuff, but don’t forget that I am still a Husky and a redhead one at that. The red coat adds that little bit of extra sass! Yeah ok I still have some manners to learn, but who doesn’t? If you think you might like to meet me, then the first step is to go to my online application form at www.shamroq.org.au/adoption. Talk to you soon! Photo by Hairypants Photography

Weird name, huh? Yeah I see you thinking that, but you see ‘Pana’ is a Venezuelan word meaning buddy or pal, and well ain’t nothing closer to the truth when you are talking about me! You see as far as I am concerned everyone is a friend of mine. I love all people big and small and what I love even more is other dogs who can play Husky style! I am looking for just the perfect new home and whilst my list is quite broad, there are a few things that I must insist on. The first thing is attention. I love it and if I don’t get it then I will quite happily let you know that I feel you need to work on it. I would be happy with any people, even kids, but perhaps not real little ones only because sometimes my play style can be a little, well, typically Husky tussle. I am very strong on lead and us Arctics are bred to pull, so you should also be prepared for that. I will want at least one walk a day you know. I have lived as an only dog and spent most of time on the lounge with my foster people. They had Foxtel! So, if I was to be a one and only dog, then I would need people who had lots of time to dedicate to me. On the other hand, I would also be quite happy if I could share a home with a doggy play mate, someone around my size, who enjoyed some good rough and tumble. I have not been tested with cats and for their safety, if you were to have any, they should have their own totally separate area away from my keen arctic nose… The SHAMROQ girls insist on safe homes for us, and while I plan to spend most of my time inside where you are, they will want to make sure the fences are safe and secure. I reckon they would be ok with anything 5ft and over with no large gaps underneath. Ok so I do have one thing that needs working on, apart from the whole standard Husky stuff you just learn to deal with, and that is that I really don’t like the car. It worries me, so for everyone’s safety it is best if I have a secure cage, crate or locked back section of a ute to travel in. But hey, walks are great, I am happy to walk anywhere! I ain’t gonna lie, I am a catch and well someone had better snap me up quick! Everyone could use more friends in this life and well I promise I will be one of the best you could ever have!

Lilies are the flowers that symbolize humility and devotion. I might have an extra “L” in my name, but that just means I have extra love and devotion to give! I have a bit of a backstory to give you, and it really does explain why I am such a special girl and why I deserve an equally special furever home. You see I was brought up with my person, my mother and my brother. Unfortunately, my person hit some hard times and we had to live in a car. He tried his hardest to keep us together, but we ended up at the shelter for our own sake. After a few months with the nice ladies at the shelter, along came some more nice ladies from SHAMROQ. Mum had been adopted already so my brother Jack and I went off to some kennels. My brother Jack is a bit of a special lad and he went off to foster with one family while I went to another. My foster family are the best! I am so happy to spend as much time with them as I possibly can. What they have learnt about me is that it seems my time living in a few different situations means that I must be an inside dog. That is where my safe spot is. If I am locked out in the yard alone, my anxiety gets the better of me and I must try every avenue possible to go find people! But if I am inside, chilling on the couch then I am as happy as can be! Ideally what I am looking for is a home with people who are home more often than not, and if they have to go out then I can be left inside. The ultimate would be a home with a doggy door to take myself out if I need to and then back to my comfy spot! There are a few other things in my new home that aren’t negotiable either. Despite growing up with my Mum and Bro, I don’t do other dogs. My foster people are working on my reactivity and walk me in a Halti, but I will need a home without any other pets and with people who understand my reactivity and accept working with it. People however, I love them all! Young, old, small and big – I will happily live with them all! And well we all know SHAMROQ has this thing about us dogs being safe in our new homes, and I am no exception. So, I will need fences that are 6ft with no way to dig out underneath. But if I am inside in my happy place, chances are I won’t be trying to get out anyways… Seems like a long profile huh, but it’s not too complicated what I am searching for in my Furever home. If you think you tick all my boxes, then please head to my online application at www.shamroq.org.au/adoption Photos by Hairypants Photography.

~ASSISTED REHOME~ 9 & 7 year old males What is better than one dog? Well that is two of course! Two that are a package pair and ready to move on in! Whilst not obvious on the first glance, we are actually father and son! Duke is Dad and Jasper is my chip off the old block. You’ve got this far reading our profile and you’re thinking about it aren’t you? Well let us give you a quick rundown on what you’ll need to bring to the party if we are to add you to our family unit. The first is probably no other dogs. Whilst we have met the odd one, we are more than likely to prefer our own space at home. This also means cats, not that we have met any but the odds are it won’t go so well, unless of course they have their own totally separate and secure area. Whilst we prefer to be your one and only furkids at home, human kids are ok. We have been around the little ones but you should always supervise us around kids. Due to Jasper’s love of his own food and not liking to share it around, any children should be school aged or older to understand this. We should also be fed separate, it’s just easier so there are no issues! You know that Arctics have pretty limited obedience skills, right? You are welcome to work on that with some treats if you like of course, but you know in the effort of full disclosure and all that…. We love the great outdoors. We prefer the crisp air and a comfy bed under the stars outside, so if you have that no dog on the furniture rule, that is ok with us. Our love of adventure also means that we would like as many on lead walks as you can dish out. No off lead in unfenced areas though, cos that will turn into much more running than you bargained for! Oh, yep and fences, typical 5ft plus arctic fences should be sufficient. We might dig the odd hole in the yard but haven’t turned our talent to tunnelling under fences before. Now that you’ve read this far, you’ve probably decided we are a little too hard to resist! If that is the case, then please head on over and fill out a Pre Adoption Questionnaire at this link:http://www.shamroq.org.au/#!adoption/cfz3 Photos by One More Photography **Our Assisted Rehoming program is when a dog is rehomed by their current owners under guidance and support from SHAMROQ. The final decision is made by the family of the dog and SHAMROQ will only rehome dogs where proof of desexing, current vaccination and microchipping can be supplied. SHAMROQ will take care of any microchip transfer requirements at the time that the adoption is finalised.**

When there is so much to say and only a small amount of space to talk all about me, you have to get straight to the point. So, let’s do it! Hi, I am Maya and I am on the hunt for the perfect furever home. I have had a few false starts in life, but I know the right family for me are just around the corner. Could that be you? I have been in and out of rescue since I was 5 months old. Bought from a puppy shop and bred to line someone’s pockets I have had a little trouble finding my place in this world, but over the time I have had not one but 2 great foster carers and both have put a lot of time and energy into shaping me into a model canine citizen. Sure, it is a work in progress and I will need a home willing to help me with a few things, but what I can promise is that my cheeky and goofy bratty ways will melt even the hardest of hearts. This next home is the one, I can feel it! Ideally, I would like a home with no other dogs. I currently live with a very friendly male Staffy and we get on great, but I can be very choosy on my doggy friends. I have never really learnt how to introduce myself to new doggy mates properly. The Wolfhouse team have been helping me with that and I love my time there, but I am still learning so a home with a large dog experienced family, but no other dogs would be great! No small ask I know, but I might also be open to meetings with easy going medium sized male dogs who are smaller than me, but I can’t promise anything. Cats and other small pets are a no-go unfortunately. I have decided that escaping isn’t really worth the drama, as long as you have a home with comfy lounges, cozy dog beds and belly rubs on tap! I enjoy the odd sunbake and zoomy run in the back yard, but I like to spend most of my time, especially night time, lazing around the house. No idea why but the car is not my favourite thing. I tend to get car sick, we are working on that, but I am definitely happier staying close to home. Just to be on the safe side, I will still need secure fences of around 5ft or higher. One thing you will notice is that I can sometimes walk like a drunken catwalk model on 6 inch heels. The SHAMROQ crew had that all checked out and well turns out it is nothing crazy, just another quirk to admire. I have been doing some hydrotherapy and underwater treadmill walking to help build up the muscles and that helps, but there are no underlying medical issues to worry about. I could go on and on all about me, there is so much to tell. But I think the best way to find out more, if you fit my criteria, is to meet me. If you have the home I have talked about, with someone around a fair bit to love on me and children school aged or older, then I would love to hear from you.
