Dogs Available For Adoption

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

Nelly
DOB 17/8/2025 Female Staffordshire Bull Terrier X
Meet Nelly 🐾
Nelly is an adorable 11-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier cross with a beautiful black-and-white coat and a gentle, loving heart.
This sweet girl has a timid nature, so she's looking for a patient family who will help her build confidence at her own pace. Don’t let her shyness fool you, Nelly is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her people once she has a bond with you.
As a young dog, Nelly will benefit from formal training and ongoing socialisation to help her grow into a confident, well-rounded companion. She will thrive with kind, positive reinforcement (and possibly some treats).
Nelly would do best in a home with secure fencing where she can safely explore and play. She could happily live with another friendly, well-matched dog who could help show her the ropes.
If you're looking for a gentle soul who just needs a little time, guidance, and lots of love, Nelly could be the perfect addition to your family.
Nelly's$650 adoption fee covers, microchipping, desexing, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments.

Thor
DOB 25/5/2023 Male American Staffordshire Terrier
Meet Thor!
This handsome larger than life boy is looking for his next family to head out on adventures with. He may be large but that just makes for better cuddles… right?
We believe Thor would be able to live with another well mannered dog and a dog savvy cat. He has shown himself to be polite with all canine friends he meets and was respectful of the cats in our care.
Thor is strong on lead and will need ongoing basic obedience training to fine tune his basic skills. We recommend Thor not living with young children due to his size and the fact he cam become excitable very quickly.
If you are looking for a new best mate to watch TV with in the evenings and run around with during the day Thor is your guy.
Thor's adoption fee is $600 which covers microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments.

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
DOB 12/6/2025 Female Kelpie/Staffy/Boxer x
❤️ Kodah — Waiting for Someone to Choose Her 🐾
Kodah reccently turned one, sadly, she is still waiting for the family who will make her theirs. 💔
This gorgeous Staffy x Kelpie, with what we think may be a little Boxer in the mix, is a beautiful medium-sized girl with a huge personality — and those ears deserve a personality of their own! 😂❤️
Kodah is bright, curious, affectionate and loves her people. She wants to be close to you and has the sweetest habit of coming back to sit right on your feet if you stop while walking. She isn't interested in wandering off — she wants to be wherever her people are. 🥹
She walks beautifully on lead, generally walking to the length of the lead without pulling. Of course, being a curious young girl, birds and interesting things can catch her attention, but when you have her focus, she listens beautifully.
Kodah is toilet trained, travels perfectly in the car, loves treats and chest rubs, and is incredibly gentle when taking treats. She also loves using her nose to search for treats in the grass. She's not a big barker and is simply a happy girl who enjoys being involved in whatever her people are doing.
Kodah is dog social, but we believe she would thrive as the only dog in her home, where she can have her people all to herself. She would be best suited to a home without cats and with older children. She can take a little time to feel comfortable with new men, so allowing her to build trust at her own pace is important.
What Kodah needs is someone who will see the beautiful girl she is and give her the chance to flourish. Someone who will continue guiding her, enjoy watching her grow and give her the security of knowing she finally belongs.
She just needs someone to choose her. ❤️
She's only one, with her whole life ahead of her.
Could you be the person who gives Kodah the forever home she has been waiting for? 🥹🐾
Kodah’s adoption fee is $650. This includes her microchipping, vaccination, desexing, up to date worm/tick/flea treatments, and lifetime registration.

Mel
6 Month Old Female Staffy x
🥎 Mel 🥎 Available to Adopt
Miss Mel is super excited to see who her new family might be. We estimate her to be about 6 months old and Staffy X 'Allround Gorgeous Girl'!
Mel arrived to us an an unclaimed stray. She deserves a family who will love and adore her unconditionally. Now is her time ❤️!
What we know about Mel, is that she probably wasn't given any fundamental training before she came to us, so she's playing catch-up now.
Mel is currently in foster care with a fabulous family making sure that she is safe, loved and well taken care of. Her foster family are helping Mel to understand the rules to being the best behaved doggo she can be, which is a work in progress, but she's a smart cookie when she applies herself.
Mel's foster family wanted to let us know all about Mel. This is what they said:
"Mel has a very fun and loving personality. She has the most beautiful eyes, enough to win her family over, so be prepared to be wrapped round her little paw, lol".
"Mel is toilet trained, but being still a young lady, she still has the occasional accident, which is to be expected". She understands the basic commands, and we are trying to educate her on when she can jump and when she's can't".
Mel will suit an active family, ideally with a large yard and the time to take her on walks, play with her, cuddle her, be patient with her, and be commited to her ongoing training, enrichment and boundary setting. She appears to be a fast learner".
"Mel loves to play, and her favourite game is fetch. She has oodles of energy, and due to her level of excitement, she may suit a family with older children and perhaps another dog".
Any family would be lucky to be welcoming Mel into their family. She has untapped potential and her loving fun nature will brighten anyone's day.
Mel's adoption fee is $650 and covers microchipping, lifetime registration, desexing, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾
