About Ricky
These four gorgeous puppies are ready to find the loving forever families they deserve.
Their story began with an uncertain start after all seven puppies from the litter were surrendered to a local council pound. Thankfully, they were rescued into foster care before they had to grow up in the pound. Four of the puppies are being cared for by one of our wonderful volunteers, while their three siblings are with another foster carer.
These happy, playful puppies have quickly settled into foster care and are enjoying all the fun that puppyhood has to offer. They love exploring, playing with their siblings, chasing toys, and then curling up together for a well-earned nap. They are affectionate little companions who enjoy human attention and are already showing their friendly, confident personalities.
We believe they are Staffordshire Bull Terrier crosses. They have many of the classic Staffy features, including broad wedge-shaped heads, smooth short coats, compact athletic builds, adorable rose or semi-prick ears, and the beautiful white chest markings that are so common in the breed.
As they mature, they are expected to become medium-sized dogs. If crossed with another medium breed, they are likely to grow to around 35 to 45 cm tall, with females weighing approximately 10 to 15 kg and males around 12 to 18 kg. If crossed with a larger breed, they may reach between 20 and 25 kg. As with any mixed breed puppy, these are estimates only.
Staffy crosses are well known for their loving, loyal nature. They thrive on being part of the family and often think they're lap dogs, no matter how big they become. They are energetic, intelligent, playful, and full of personality. With early training, positive reinforcement, and ongoing socialisation, they typically grow into wonderful family companions who enjoy spending time with both people and other pets.
Like all puppies, they will need families who are committed to continuing their training and socialisation. They will benefit from daily exercise, interactive play, and plenty of opportunities to learn as they grow into well-mannered adult dogs.
These puppies are looking for homes where they can enjoy both indoor and outdoor living, with access to a secure, fully fenced backyard where they can safely play and explore. Most importantly, they are looking for families who will include them as valued members of the household and provide them with a lifetime of love, guidance, and companionship.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate puppy to grow alongside your family, one of these beautiful pups could be the perfect match.
Vet Work Completed:
Desexing
1st C3 Vaccination
Worming Prevention

Health Note: The vet has called out a possible grade 1 heart murmur that will need to be reviewed at future check ups.
A grade 1 heart murmur in an young puppy is a very quiet sound. It is often a "innocent" or playful murmur that means nothing bad. Many puppies outgrow this soft sound by four months of age as their hearts grow.
What It Means:
Very Quiet Sound: The vet can barely hear the extra sound in the chest.
Innocent Murmur: Blood moves through the heart in a normal way, but makes a soft noise.
Wait and Watch: Let your vet listen to the heart again at the next vaccine visit
Available for Adoption after 17/8.
