Dogs Available For Adoption

 

 

 

Pauly.jpg

Pauly

DOB 1/1/2019  Male American Staffordshire Terrier

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 ?

Hickory 1.jpg

Hickory

DOB 07/10/2025  Male Staffordshire Terrier Mix

Say Hi to Hickory!

Meet Hickory, an 8-month-old Staffy cross who appears to have some Lurcher heritage, judging by his gorgeous long legs and athletic build. This handsome young boy is searching for a loving home to call his own.

Hickory can be a little timid when faced with new environments and experiences, so he needs some time and patience to feel comfortable. Once he settles in, his true personality shines through—a sweet, affectionate, and playful companion who loves being close to his people.

Despite his young age, Hickory has shown he can happily settle spending his days relaxing in his bed while watching the world go by. Hickory is a cuddle monster who thinks he belongs on top of you not next to you and will happily invade any personal space you may have.

Although Hickory has shown himself to be social and would be best suited as the only dog in the home for now.  He will need on going socialisation to help him continue to build confidence with other dogs as he grows.

We believe Hickory could live successfully with a cat, provided introductions are managed slowly and carefully.

Hickory is looking for a patient, understanding family who can help him see that the world isn't such a scary place and give him all the love, security, and cuddles he deserves.

If you think you could be the perfect match for Hickory, we'd love to hear from you. His $650 adoption fee covers microchip, up to date vaccination, flea and worming treatments and desexing.

Mason

DOB 24/02/2024  Male Staffy Mix

Meet Mason – Your New Best Mate!

At just 2 years old, Mason is an American Staffordshire Terrier cross with a heart as big as his smile. This handsome young boy is overflowing with love, personality, and a zest for life. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh every day, Mason could be the one you've been waiting for.

 

Mason is currently thriving in foster care with Jade, where his wonderful personality continues to shine every day.

 

Mason loves being part of the action. Whether it's exploring a new walking track, splashing through the waves at the beach, playing in the backyard, or joining you on your daily adventures, he's happiest when he's spending time with his people. His curious and playful nature means every day is an exciting new adventure.

 

One of Mason's greatest joys is water! Give him a kiddie pool, a garden hose, a puddle, or a trip to the beach and you'll see his fun-loving personality shine.

 

Despite his energetic side, Mason has an incredibly affectionate nature. Once he's had his exercise, he transforms into the biggest cuddle bug you'll ever meet. In Mason's mind, he's definitely a lap dog, and he'll happily curl up beside—or on—you for plenty of snuggles. He simply loves being close to his family.

 

Mason is also a clever boy who enjoys learning. He already knows sit, shake, and how to look impossibly handsome on cue! He's eager to please and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement, making continued training both easy and enjoyable.

 

Like many young dogs, Mason gets excited when meeting other dogs and can sometimes forget his manners. With a little ongoing guidance and consistent training, he'll continue to develop into the polite gentleman we know he can be. He's a quick learner with a wonderful willingness to please.

 

Mason would thrive in a home with a calm, confident canine companion who can help him build his social skills while also enjoying playtime together. He loves the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a balanced furry friend to show him the ropes.

 

Mason is not suitable for a home with a resident cat, as he would find feline friends a little too exciting.

 

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

 

As an added bonus, Mason's adoption fee also includes post-adoption training support with Waggy Travels Dog Training & Adventure Walks, ensuring both Mason and his new family receive the guidance they need to settle in together and build a lifelong bond.

 

If you're ready to welcome a fun-loving, affectionate, intelligent dog into your family, Mason is ready to give you his whole heart. All he asks for is a family who will include him in their adventures, continue his training, and love him as much as he'll love them.

 

Could Mason be the missing piece your family has been searching for?

Pickles.jpg

Pickles

DOB 16/03/2026 Male Kelpie x Border Collie

🥒🥒 Introducing Pickles!!!! 🥒🥒

What we THINK, is that Pickles is estimated to be a 4month old Kelpie x Border Collie.

What we KNOW, is that he's 💯 the cutest boy with the sweetest nature 😍!

Whilst he arrived as an unclaimed stray, Pickles is currently in foster care with a lovely and experienced family, who have 2 other doggos and a cat. Pickles has very much enjoyed his playtime with the younger resident dog, who is showing him what it's like to be a happy pup in a loving home.

Being only a baby still, Pickles is still getting the hang of toilet training, but can 'sit' and 'shake'. We are in no doubt though, that he'll pick things up quickly.

Pickles is on the lookout for a family who will love and cherish him; someone who will be committed to his ongoing training and enrichment, socialisation, and boundary setting. A family who may already have another dog at home, and who will include Pickles in their everyday life.

We would really love to find Pickles his forever people, could that be you? 🫶🐾

Pickles' adoption fee is $850, which includes microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, up to date vaccination, flea, worming and complimentary puppy preschool.

lightening 1.jpg

Lightening

DOB 25/02/2022  Male Great Dane

Meet Lightning

Lightning is a handsome 4.5-year-old Great Dane looking for a home that understands and appreciates giant breeds. As an extra-large boy, he certainly turns heads wherever he goes, but beneath his impressive size is an affectionate dog who loves nothing more than leaning in for a hug from his favourite people.

Lightning can be excitable when he first meets people or when something exciting is happening, but he settles well once he's had a chance to relax. He enjoys human company and has shown no signs of separation anxiety, making him a great companion for a home where he can be included in daily life.

Like many Great Danes, Lightning comes with a little slobber, so his future family should be prepared for the occasional drooly kiss! He is a strong dog and will need continued training and guidance with his lead manners. His size and strength mean he will be best suited to confident handlers who can continue building his walking skills.

Lightning is looking for a home without cats and is not suitable for families with small children due to his size and enthusiasm. He would thrive with adopters who can provide structure, ongoing training, and plenty of love.

If you're searching for a loyal, affectionate giant who enjoys cuddles as much as he enjoys stretching out in a sunny spot, Lightning could be the perfect addition to your family.

​​Lightening's $600 adoption fee covers, microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments​.

Kodah.jpg

Kodah

One Year Old Female Kelpie/Staffy/Boxer x

Are you looking for a dog who thinks personal space is highly overrated? Meet Kodah!

Kodah is a happy-go-lucky young lady who approaches life with a permanent smile and a set of ears that deserve their own social media account. Seriously, those ears tell you everything she’s thinking long before she does.

Her favourite way to let you know she’d like some affection? She’ll gently plant herself on your foot so you can’t possibly escape, then patiently wait for the belly rubs she is clearly entitled to.

This gorgeous girl travels beautifully in the car, takes treats like a lady, responds to her name, and walks nicely on lead. Being a teenager, she occasionally remembers that the world contains fascinating smells, birds, leaves, and other distractions. At those moments, there may be a brief negotiation involving the lead before she remembers her manners and gets back to business.

At night, Kodah happily settles in the laundry and sleeps through without any fuss.

Kodah is affectionate, gentle, and would make a fantastic all-round family companion. She loves being involved in whatever her people are doing and is always ready to hand out cuddles.

 

While she’s had limited positive social experiences with other dogs, she’s a lovely natured girl. We feel she’d be happiest as the only dog in the household for now, where she can soak up all the attention and continue building her confidence.

 

Suitable for families with children 6 years and over. She can occasionally forget that jumping up

isn’t part of polite society, but she responds well to correction.

No cats

No pocket pets

If you’re searching for a loyal sidekick, professional foot-sitter, enthusiastic belly-rub collector, and all-round good girl, Kodah could be the one you’ve been waiting for.

Kodah’s adoption fee is $650. This includes Kodah, plus her microchipping, vaccination, desexing, up to date worm/tick/flea treatments, and lifetime registration.

Angel 3.jpg

Angel

English Staffordshire Terrier, Female, DOB 11/3/2022

This little darling is Angel

 

Angel has been the perfect guest whilst in care with us.  She is quiet, neat, tidy and always happy to see us!

 

Angel is looking for a home where she has somewhere to curl up on a soft bed and watch the world go by.  A walk or two a day, some cuddles with her favourite people and a good movie is what Angel craves.

 

Angel would be best suited to being the only pet in the home.  Although she has shown to be polite to other canine friends she has met she is more comfortable in her own company or that of her humans.

 

Being an English staffy Angel is…. Dramatic.  She will need ongoing training to teach her that anything she sees as life threatening is really not that severe.  

 

If you are looking for someone to keep you company while you do the gardening, watch TV and just go about your daily routine Angel is the girl for you!

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

If you are interested in being Angels forever people, please lodge an application here:
