Pauly might be older and a little wiser but he still believes in miracles. 

​

His current wish is a new home! A home with a secure yard to wander around in, people who are home more often than not to keep him company after a stroll around the park and most importantly a whole lot of love.  

​

Pauly is nearly 7 years old and clearly has some stories to tell (or sing if hes in the mood).  His ears have been badly affected by fly strike and although look a little unique can now be managed with sunscreen and fly spray when he is outside.  

​

We don’t know what Pauly’s life was like before he came to us but one thing we do know is he loves people. He will happily sit at your feet for a pat and a cuddle and is his most relaxed when there are people around. 

​

Pauly is after the retirement life. A home where is the only canine friend to his humans. When out and about Pauly would rather keep moving and sniffing than say hi to other dog friends. Once the initial excitement of going on a walk has settled Pauly walks well on the lead!

​

Being left alone for too long and travelling in the car can be stressful for Pauly. He can manage both for short periods of time but would prefer his humans were home most of the day and car rides were short. 

​

Due to his size Pauly is best suited to a house with children over 12 years of age. We believe Pauly could live with a well mannered dog experienced cat.  

​

Pauly is located at our Erina Shelter. His $190 adoption fee covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments

 

Can you make Paulys wish come true ?

Meet Anne

 

This girl arrived very scared and shut down, so much so that she had to be carried in 😢

 

Fast forward to now and Anne is living her best life with the team from Waggy Travels.  With a warm bed, a lap to sleep on and some new canine buddies to show her the way we are starting to see Annes confidence grow and her true personality shine through.

 

Anne is a naturally calmer dog and would be suited to a household with children that are used to larger dogs as she 100% believes that she belongs on her humans not next to them as this is how to give the best cuddles. 

 

She is toilet trained and settles well inside the house.  Although she can cope for short periods of time alone Anne would prefer to have company and someone around more often than not. 

 

During the time with Waggy Travels Anne has made a bunch of new canine friends and we believe would happily live with another canine. 

 

Anne is looking for a family that are not away from the home for long periods of time and who can take a slow approach to adventures outside of the home while she continues to grow her confidence in the big wide world. 

 

This beautiful girl is a 2 year old American Staffy mix with an endless supply of love and cuddles for her new family.  Her $650 adoption fee covers microchip, up to date vaccination, flea and worming treatments and desexing.

 

If you are looking for a new loyal, loving and cuddly companion Anne could be the girl for you!

Meet Max, super sweet boy, based at the Erina Shelter, but currently enjoying a fabulous life in foster care, with resident doggo Kev!

​

Max is an Amstaff X, born 4/4/25. He's a very special boy, who is completely Deaf! Max will need a home that can provide for his current and future needs, which are slightly different to the average doggo!

​

Here is what Mr Max's awesome foster family have to say about him:

"Max is the sweetest, smartest boy with a heart full of love. Despite a tough start to life, Max greets every day with a gentle nature, a happy spirit, and endless energy. Being deaf doesn’t hold him back one bit, he’s already learned the hand signs for sit, shake, eat, “no”, and even “we are leaving without you.” He’s a quick learner, eager to please and loves his treats".

"Max is getting more comfortable on the lead each day, and is starting to walk next to us without much pulling. He loves exploring the world with his nose, he’s curious about everything and enjoys taking his time to sniff his surroundings. He’ll thrive with a family committed to continuing his training to help keep him safe and confident out in the world".

"Max is friendly with people and other dogs, though slow introductions are best as he can get a little excited at first. And while Max may be deaf, he’s definitely not silent, he has a voice and isn’t shy about using it! But he also sleeps deeply and peacefully, often completely zonked out after a day of play".

"Max is playful, loves his toys, and is full of joy. He’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion and deserves a family who will give him the love and guidance he missed early in life".

"If you’re looking for a devoted, fun loving pup with the sweetest soul then Max is your boy".

Max would best suited to an active family where he can be included in daily tasks both indoors and out. He would suit being in a home with another doggie friend, and has recently made a new friend, a 5 year old small human, where lots of fun was to be had, and there was an abundance cuteness !

​

Max's adoption fee is $400 which covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments

Whilst deaf dog experience is preferred, it is not essential, so if you think this handsome boy is for you then please fill in an adoption application www.socaresanimalcarefacility.com.au/adoptions

This fine gentleman is Sully Sully is a 5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart as big as his head.

 

Sully has shown a complete love for cuddles and his humans, choosing people over toys and treats.

 

Sully needs to be the only canine of the house.  He demands all the cuddles and attention for himself and would rather not share his space with another canine friend.  Within the facility he has shown himself to be very respectful of the cats he has met and we believe with a slow introduction would be able to co exist with a feline within the house.  

 

Sullys lead manners need some fine tuning.  If he wants to sniff something he will ensure he can sniff it, pulling in any which way direction to get there or happily sending his handler circling.  With consistency and training we believe Sully can learn how to have basic obedience and be an all round good dog.  He does know sit but with his selective hearing chooses as to when he wants to respond. 

​

Sully's adoption fee is $600 which covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments.

🚨 Meet Mason 🚨

 

2 years old, American Staffy Mix, Certified Splash Enthusiast.

​

Mason is a young, energetic lad currently accepting applications for the role of “Best Mate Who Keeps Me Busy.

​

Applicants should enjoy long walks, ongoing training, and occasionally being outsmarted by a dog who has perfected the art of looking innocent after causing mild chaos.

 

This handsome bloke is searching for an experienced home committed to helping him continue his journey toward becoming the very best version of himself. Mason already has the important life skills sorted — he can sit, look devastatingly handsome on command, and locate any body of water within a 5km radius.

​

Speaking of water… if it splashes, sprays, drips, squirts, or resembles a puddle in any way, Mason is ALL IN. Hose? Amazing. Kiddie pool? Incredible. Creek adventure? The greatest day of his life

​

Mason’s wishlist for his forever home includes:✔️ Daily play sessions✔️ Ongoing training and socialisation✔️ Humans who appreciate enthusiasm in all forms✔️ Bonus points if water is involved.

 

He may also be suitable to live with another dog who enjoys a similar rough-and-rowdy play style. Think “WWE but make it friendship.

​

Mason would suit a home with kids over 12 years old. No cats or pocket pets please — Mason finds small furry creatures a little too exciting and we’d all prefer the guinea pigs remain untraumatised.

​

If you’ve been searching for a goofy, affectionate, water-loving sidekick with endless potential and a face that says “I swear it seemed like a good idea at the time,” Mason might just be your guy.

​

​Mason's $300 adoption fee covers, microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments​.

​​​​​​​​​​

Tiger is a gorgeous two-year-old Staffy cross boy who wins everyone over with his good looks and zest for life. With his big smile and happy energy, it’s impossible not to fall for him the moment you meet him. Tiger is not afraid to sit in your lap and enjoy all the love and attention he deserves. 

​

Tiger thrives on connection, fun, and being part of the action.  He is able to live with another canine friend happily but would prefer not to be left alone for long periods of time or during storms. 

​

Before arriving with us Tiger had been through 4 homes in less than a month after spending 18 months in his first home, running free and enjoying life, this would have been quite distressing for such a young dog.  He has now fully settled and is learning that we are here to shower him in all the love he deserves.  We are being rewarded with constant affection and cuddles.  We just know that with time and patience Tiger is going to settle right into family life. 

​

Tiger grew up on acreage and 100% prefers the outside world.  Inside the house, pet shops, cafes etc are new to Tiger but he is slowly adjusting and learning that all the best things (food and cuddles) are usually in these places.  Bearing this in mind Tiger would need access to a large yard while he adjusts to life on the lounge.

​

Tigers adoption fee is $350, this includes - microchip, desexing, lifetime registration, vaccination, flea and worming. 
Waggy Travels and Adventures have kindly donated a 2 month training support aftercare adoption package to Tiger and his new family.

Meet Janet.

​

Built like a brick outhouse, powered by enthusiasm, and fuelled almost entirely by love.

At just 18 months old, this Staffy mix is the perfect pocket-sized bulldozer — compact, sturdy, and always ready to insert herself directly into your personal space for cuddles.

​

Janet comes with some excellent housemate credentials:

Housetrained

Great traveller in the car

Affectionate little shadow

Professional tail-wagger

 

When it comes to other dogs, Janet’s approach is less “cool, calm and collected” and more “OH MY GOSH A NEW BEST FRIEND!!!” She gets very excited and still needs continued socialisation and guidance to help her channel all that enthusiasm politely.

​

The good news? There’s absolutely no nastiness in this girl — she simply wants to party with everyone she meets.

​

Janet would thrive with an owner committed to ongoing lead training too, because despite her compact size, this chunky nugget is surprisingly strong. Walking Janet can occasionally feel like being attached to an eager little wrecking ball with kisses.

​

In return, you’ll get a loyal best mate with a heart of gold, endless affection, and enough personality to keep life entertaining every single day.

​

If you’re looking for a loving, hilarious, solid little companion who’s equal parts cuddle bug and chaos potato, Janet may just be your girl.

​

Janet would be happy to live with older, dog savvy kids. But definitely no birds or chickens. She thinks they’re sketchy as hell.

​

Janet’s adoption fee is $650. This includes her desexing, vaccination, microchipping, lifetime council registration, and up to date flea, tick and worming treatments.

​

Janet is currently kicking back in foster care, recovering from her desexing procedure. Please apply below to meet the gorgeous Janet. Meet and greets with this little chunk will be held at Charmhaven facility.

Meet Luna

 

This little pocket rocket Luna is looking for her new adult only, pet free home.  At 6.5 years of age she is ready to settle into a calm and structured routine.

 

Luna LOVES to talk to anyone new she meets. With a tail wagging fast enough that she could take off her voice only adds to the greeting all people are met with. 

 

Luna needs to be the only dog in the home.  She is not a dog that would be suitable for busy dog areas such as dog parks, dog beaches or cafes.  Luna would much rather trot along the street splashing in any puddle she finds and happily filling the neighbours in about her day and what she has been up to. 

 

Luna's adoption fee is $600 and covers microchipping, lifetime registration, desexing, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾

​

If you could offer Luna all the things she desires in her new home then please apply via the link: www.socaresanimalcarefacility.com.au/adoptions

🌼 Daisy 🌼

 

The 'oh so adorable' Miss Daisy has only been with us a few days, but she's already made a big impression on her foster family. We estimate her to be about 4½ months old and likely a Kelpie x. 

 

Daisy's had a less than ideal start to her life, and she's due a family who will love and adore her unconditionally ❤️!

 

Daisy is a smart cookie, who's quick to learn. She's been in foster care with two other doggos for the last few days and is extremely happy to be in the middle of all the fun, and occasionally some much earned mischief. 

 

She's already mastered 'sit' and 'down' and is currently learning how to take her essential puppy naps in her safe space/crate. Whilst it currently takes her a little while to settle in her crate (and she likes to share her feelings with a 'tune, or three' 🤣), she's making great progress and sleeps through the night once she's settled. Her foster carer says that Daisy is smashing goals, and that her protests are really just for show, and she's settling very quickly now, compared to when she first arrived! 

 

Daisy is progressing very well with her toileting, and is expecting to receive her Toileting Proficiency Certificate 🏆🏅 in the next day... or two! 🤣🐾🙏🏻 

 

Daisy is very food motivated which is a dream come true when it comes to training. She loves all humans, and instantly wants all the cuddles. She doesn't like to be away from her human for too long at the moment, and will benefit from having someone home more often than not whilst she's still a baby. In saying that, her family should be commited to building this girl's confidence and independence, of which she's already taken her first few steps. 

 

Daisy would also love a home where there is another dog for her to become besties with. 

 

Any family would be lucky to be 'Driving Miss Daisy' round on all the adventures, and her loving fun nature will make any outing a truly special one. 

 

Daisie's adoption fee is $850 and covers microchipping, lifetime registration, desexing, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾

Amos is a very sweet young boy with a gentle nature and a touch of shyness. At around 5 months old, he’s still learning about the world, and foster care is helping him grow in confidence every day.
