This is Kuni and he is a very handsome and regal looking boy about 18 months old. He has very beautiful eyes that match so well with the colours of his coat. Kuni is a tall boy with a lean physique, and we think he might have some greyhound in him; he loves to run, and he is capable of a good speed, and sometimes, when he turns his head, the shape is there. He is a very playful boy who loves to wrestle with his kennel mate, and they chase each other around the yard until it’s time to have a rest. Kuni would love to be part of an active family. He LOVES the water and would no doubt have a ball at the beach. In the short term he jumps in a clam shell each day and splashes up the water with his feet, creating a mini sunami and biting at the waves. It’s a great way to cool down, and he loves it. But he would love to go for a run too and would surely be able to go the distance. We’re not sure whether Kuni likes cats, but if we had to guess we’d say No. We think the fun of a chase might be too much for him. He would also be too active for small children. Kuni would benefit from some training, and it would be an ideal way for a new owner to bond with him. He is a very affectionate boy and would be a great mate for someone, and a great member of a family. If you’re interested in finding out more about Kuni please phone Lynda; if phoning on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday please call after 7.30pm and before 9pm: 0401 264 514. Thursday to Sunday phone any time. Alternatively send a text, or email allbreedsdogrescue@gmail.com, or download an application form from our website. Kuni will be available for meet and greet near Raymond Terrace in the Newcastle area -- not far from the end of the M1 if you are travelling up from Sydney.

Introducing the very handsome Copper – not the sort that might put you in jail --no, a cuddly one, who loves people and wants to be part of a family again. Copper was previously owned by a young woman whose life led her to situations where she couldn’t keep him. Sad for Copper, but we’re planning to find him a wonderful new home where he is loved and he will be happy. Copper is 5 years old, and he is a mastiff crossed with a staffy. He has had some training, and knows his basic commands, and he likes to please. This boy looks a bit like a bear. His coat is soft and tan in colour, and he has black highlights around his muzzle and eyes which make him look very distinguished. Copper can sometimes be a bit picky about his friends – he thinks some dogs are ok, but others are … well, frankly, annoying! In his previous life he lived on a property where he was the only dog, but he had a few mates around town that he was allowed to visit. Copper is quite happy in the car and likes to watch things go by out the window. To find out more about Copper please phone Lynda. If phoning on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday please call after 7.30pm and before 9pm: 0401 264 514. Other days phone any time. Alternatively send a text, or download an application from www.allbreedsdogrescue.com.au . Copper will be available for meet and greet near Raymond Terrace in the Newcastle area -- not far from the end of the M1 if you are travelling up from Sydney.

The ball of energy that’s running around our yard is “Gypsy” and she is only 8 or 9 months old. Such a happy dog, she thinks every day is extremely exciting and everyone else is here to play games with her and share the joy of one new experience after another. Gypsy is a staffy cross and wont be any bigger than a medium-sized dog. She is still a baby, but a very active one with a big spirit of adventure, so we would like to find her a home with an active family, someone who will take her for a run or to the beach, someone who has time to fill her needs. A couch potato she is not. Gypsy has a very pretty face and a short, easy-care coat. She will require no clipping or grooming, apart from a bath and an occasional brush. At her foster-carer’s home Gypsy has several doggy friends and likes to play with them all. They think she is the life of the party, especially when she can poke her nose into any old thing and start a game with it – no toys necessary. We haven’t been able to observe Gypsy with cats, but most likely she would be too energetic for your average moggy, and might just like to chase it around for some fun. We haven’t seen her with children either, but wouldn’t expect there to be any difficulty. If you would like to know more about this girl, please phone Lynda. If phoning on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday please call after 7.30pm and before 9pm: 0401 264 514. Alternatively send a text, or email allbreedsdogrescue@gmail.com and request an application form. Other days phone any time. Gypsy will be available for meet and greet near Raymond Terrace in the Newcastle area -- not far from the end of the M1 if you are travelling up from Sydney.

Introducing our very handsome boy, Jerry. Jerry is a bit of a mix-breed boy – we’re not exactly sure what’s in there; sometimes his face seems a little Labrador, but mostly he keeps us guessing. He has wondrous eyes edged very skilfully with black liner (alas, we girls have to pay a beautitian to create the same affect) and he is only medium-sized. Jerry shares his yard with a big girl called Heidi and they are great mates. Heidi is very easy-going and happy, and Jerry is always giving her kisses and following her around the yard. Give him half an inch though and he’ll steal her dinner, but for the most part he just likes to hang with her and enjoy her company. Jerry’s other best friend is a brick. Yes, a brick. He found one that was blocking a gap under the fence and dragged it out for a game. We couldn’t quite work out how this brick was migrating to the middle of the yard when clearly it had been lying with its other brick-friends under the fence, but Jerry gave it away by barking at it and smacking it with his paw and moving it around for his entertainment. Strange though it is, we’re kinda happy that he can find his own toys and, simple though they are, they keep him amused. We’re not sure what Jerry is like with children but he loves people and just wants to be loved, so we doubt he would have an issue. He is used to being with other dogs of a similar size or larger and seems to appreciate their company. He isn’t a particularly dominant dog by nature, and raised human voices make him uncomfortable and a little fearful. To find out more about Jerry please phone Lynda. If phoning on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday please call after 7.30pm and before 9pm: 0401 264 514. Other days phone any time. Alternatively send a text, or email allbreedsdogrescue@gmail.com and request an application form. Jerry can be viewed in the Raymond Terrace area, only 15 minutes from the M1 if driving up from Sydney.

Meet Lucy Goosie, our staffy x shar pei x kelpie girl with a very expressive and unusual face. Lucy is a bit of a comedy act and often has a frown on her forehead as if continuously contemplating something that doesn't have an answer, like how she got to be a shar pei/kelpie/staffy X, or ‘Why isn’t dinner available 10 times a day?’ ‘cause she loves her food. Lucy has kelpie ears and a soft Shar pei muzzle which is good for kissies. She doesn’t have any of the folds of a sharpie and her coat is short and easy care. She is only around 16 months old and still thinks life is a ball of fun. She is quite intelligent, and that will be the kelpie side of her, so she would not suit a home where she was left alone in the back yard for long periods of time. Her size is on the small side of medium. Lucy is living with a number of other dogs at her foster-carer’s home and doesn’t seem fazed. Her best mate is a female shar pei X girl called Babe. They are both black, and hang together like 2 dogs in uniform. Some training would be beneficial for Luce so it would be good to find her a home where someone is experienced in training their dog, or someone who might take her to some classes. But volunteers at the rescue will soon be working with her to give her manners a brush up. Lucy will best suit a home with active companions who can take her for regular walks or a run, and who treat her as a member of the family. If you feel that she’s your kind of gal, you’ll be rewarded with lots of laughs and a lovable and loyal companion who will be devoted to you and your family. To find out more about Lucy Goosie please phone Lynda: if calling on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday please call after 7.30pm and before 9pm. Other days phone any time. 0401 264 514. Alternatively send a text, or email allbreedsdogrescue@gmail.com and request an application form.
