Say hello to Missy. Missy came to us a couple of months ago with her cute little sister and very handsome brother. They are all very sweet and fun loving pups. Zoey and Murphy have now headed off to their perfect new homes and we are happy to wait as long as it takes for Missy to find her happiness. Missy is very playful and curious about everything. She plays until she gets tired, will have a quick rest and is then ready to continue with her adventures. While she has been with us, Missy has had wonderful guidance from the 2 mature male dogs. She loves to play, run and wrestle with the boys. Missy can be a little timid when meeting new dogs but she settles quickly with a slow introduction and reassurance from the people she trusts to protect her. Considering Missy is a little shy, she will benefit greatly from training/socialisation classes to help her continue developing her confidence in new situations. Her carers have begun training classes with her and she has started off very well. She is showing everyone how clever she is and that she is very willing to learn and please her special people. Missy will only be suited to a home where she will continue having the guidance from a mature but young and energetic desexed, MALE doggy pal who along with being a fulltime play mate can also offer her security and help her learn the important boundaries to help her develop into a fantastic, well adjusted new family member. When Missy knows she has done something wrong, she will give you her best 'puppy dog' eyes and look very sorry. She is a very fast learner and with continued direction, she is learning lovely manners and correct behaviour. Missy is very cute, sweet and adoring. She loves her cuddles and reassurance and is always happy. She is becoming quite independent as she is getting older. She enjoys having her space and prefers if people don't get in her face. She will be much happier in a home with older children who will learn that she needs her space while she settles into her new home. Her foster carers are working on her training and basic manners and Missy has now learnt to 'sit' and 'wait' and her recall is now quite good. She will stop ad listen if you call out her name. Missy still occasionally chews so toys and ropes will be great for her to gnaw on during the day and shoes and other special items will need to be moved out of reach. Missy's foster carers are regularly socialising her with new people. She has lots of things going on around her to keep her entertained and well stimulated to prevent her becoming bored and destructive. Missy is catching on to toilet training and almost has it mastered. She is learning to let her carers know when she needs to go out. Missy currently spends a lot of time inside during the day and sleeps inside overnight cuddled up to the other dogs. She really enjoys the warmth and security the other dogs offer her. She will be looking for a family who is happy to invite her inside so she can feel like a very special member of her new family. Slow introductions to new dogs will help them feel safe and allow them to join in at their own pace after they have had a chance to watch from a distance and feel comfortable. Considering she has never been introduced to cats or other small animals, a home where she will have a canine pal but no other pets will be the best match for her Please contact us if you would like to offer Missy a special place in your home and you have an active boy who would enjoy spending his days with a new friend. Currently in care in Ballarat, Victoria.

This handsome young man is Ollie. Ollie is a very happy boy who loves to run and play but also loves a cuddle on the couch. He is still a cheeky pup at heart and still shows his affection with lots of kisses - faces, hands, legs - it doesn't matter, I love you so I will lick you! This is something his carers are working on but the excitement still gets the better of him. Ollie came to us from a rural pound with no history known. He has quickly learnt his name and his recall is improving each day. He is learning new commands and trying his best to please. So far he has mastered sit and wait/stay, will get down from the couch/bed when asked and out (for outside/out of the bedroom). He is now learning the concept of 'drop'. Although its a work in progress, he is doing really well and his carers are very proud of him. Ollie is only young and further guidance will be needed from his new family to help him continue developing his skills. Obedience training will be highly recommended for this boy to help him continue developing his social skills, learn and understand what his family expect from him and to help him create a trusting bond with his special people. True to his breed, Ollie has plenty of energy and will require a large backyard/acreage to keep him happy and entertained as he grows. Daily walks, exercise and plenty of mental stimulation will be extremely important to prevent him becoming bored and destructive to entertain himself. Agility/fly-ball classes may also be a great way for Ollie to let off some stored up energy. This gorgeous young man came loves the company of other dogs! He gets along great with his foster brother and has a blast running and playing with all the dogs at the local park. He will only be suited to a home where he will have a mature, desexed dog of similar breed to spend his days with. He will not suit a senior dog due to his high energy levels. Ollie loves people and being allowed to spend time inside for cuddles and nap time will be much appreciated. He will be much happier living as a member of the family rather than a working dog. Manners seem to come very quite naturally to Ollie. He is well behaved indoors and quickly understood that he was expected to head outside at toilet time. He currently sleeps inside to keep him feeling safe and warm and can hold on overnight. We would like to see this continue for him in his new home. While he has been in our care, Ollie has loved everyone he has met but we have not had him around young children. He is still young and bouncy so a home with children aged 10+ will be the best match for him. Ollie loves to run and chase so will be seeking a home with NO CATS as he may become fascinated by them if they run. Please contact us if you believe Ollie could be the wonderful new addition you have been waiting for. Currently in care in Ballarat, Victoria

Please meet Karma. Her unique markings bring her plenty of compliments. She is happy, friendly, confident and she loves to play. Karma is currently living with other cats, foster kittens, a gentle dog and young children. She loves everyone's company and nothing seems to faze her. This little cutie is toilet trained and very clean. Even when she is in the middle of a wrestling match with her brothers, she will head off to her tray when she needs to. Karma came to us at 2 weeks old as an 'only kitten'. She was raised by her beautiful surrogate mum and 2 kitty foster brothers. They all adore her and helped her build confidence and develop into the adventurous, loving girl she is today. She would love a home where she will have a kitty friend to help her continue learning what life is all about. If Karma was to be offered a home with one of her brothers, Robin or Thomas, the second adoption fee would be reduced by half. We aim to help them find the best and happiest homes possible. In care, Karma is living as an indoor only cat. She has not been outside and shows no interest in going out. It is not a world she is familiar with and we would like this safety to continue for her after she heads off to her new home. We look forward to hearing form you if you would like to offer Karma a special, fun place in your home. Currently in care in Lilydale, Victoria

From the very first meeting you can tell what a big softie Jake is, he is such a happy, chilled boy and seems to love everyone! We are seeking a home for Jake with no other animals or young children and someone home more often than not so he does not get lonely and possibly destructive with being left home alone for long periods of time during the day. He is unsure of how to respond around other dogs so he won't be suitable to take to dog parks etc. Jake has had a lot of changes recently so he will need some time to adjust to another home, he is a very affection and clingy boy and wants nothing more than cuddles from his people. Jake walks well on lead and knows basic commands and wants to please. If you think you can offer this big dude the safe haven he so desperately craves, we would love to hear from you.

Ludo is a very sweet young man. He loves his cuddles and lots of attention from his foster family. This adorable boy is always happy and has lots of play time and fun activities he is ready to share with his new family. Ludo is currently in care with other cats and really enjoys all the fun and antics they share together. He would love to have a desexed kitty friend in his new home who he can play and snuggle with. Ludo is a very sweet boy who enjoys sharing snuggles with his important people. He likes the life of a lap cat and will happily join you for cuddles while you are watching tv. These adorable kittens have never had a family of their own. They were born in foster care and have been raised in a loving home with children and other cats who have shown them guidance and what a happy life is all about. Ludo and his siblings have been raised as indoor cats and we will be looking for homes for them where they will continue to be offered the same amount of safety. If Ludo was to be offered a home with his mum or one of his precious siblings, the second adoption fee will be halved. Please contact us if you have a special space in your home for this very friendly and loving young man. Ludo is currently in care in Pakenham, Victoria
