Meet Chloe, a sweet and soulful 3-year-old Staffy cross who’s looking
for a calm, loving home to call her own. With her gentle eyes and quiet
nature, Chloe is the kind of dog who will quietly steal your heart. She
doesn’t ask for much — just a soft spot beside you on the couch, some
ear rubs, and the comfort of your presence. She’s not one for chaos or
loud environments; instead, she thrives in peaceful, predictable spaces
where she can feel safe and loved.
Chloe is incredibly affectionate and curious, and she’s learning how
wonderful the world can be, one pawstep at a time. She adores sitting
next to her humans, soaking in the calm and watching the world go by
with wide, thoughtful eyes. Her curiosity is gentle — she’ll nuzzle into
new things and quietly observe, always looking to her people for
reassurance. And yes, she has a soft spot for spinach, which she takes
oh-so-delicately, like a true little lady.
What Chloe needs most is someone with patience and a kind heart who can
guide her as she builds her confidence. She’s already come so far, but
she still needs encouragement and steady companionship to help her feel
secure in unfamiliar situations. If you’re looking for a loyal, quiet
companion who just wants to be by your side and experience life together
— from cozy evenings to slow morning walks and sniffs — Chloe might be
your perfect match. Let her into your heart, and she’ll give you all of
hers in return.
Chloe would benefit from a committed human who has the understanding and
patience to give her the time she needs to adjust. She is fine with
older kids and would benefit from further training. She is untested with
cats.
Please note: our dogs are not available for interstate adoption. We also do not adopt to people under the age of 25 years.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped,
wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals,
surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm
testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If
a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us.

We look forward to receiving your application.
