Abyssinian (Oriental Type) - male
Rex is a lovely boy with a great personality. He was deemed to be the last of an unwanted litter & was seen as being disposable & would have been taken to the pound if a kind cat lover had not intervened. He was able to come & live in the safety of his foster carers home.
He was absolutely terrified when he first came to live with us, one can only imagine what he had experienced in his young life. It didn't take Rex very long to discover what it is like to be loved & he is a gorgeous natured cat who has a real love for life. He is a very active cat, loving to run around & run after you if he thinks you are off to get him food. He has an extremely loud meow which he uses whenever he sees one of his human household as well as whenever he thinks there might be a chance of obtaining something to eat. His fur is quite rough & very short & is a flat ginger colour, unlike a coat that I have ever seen on a cat before. Whenever people first see him they are amazed at how he looks as he is so good looking as well as being very unusual. He looks very much like he has some oriental breed somewhere in his parentage, but I am unable to confirm this. He is very long & lean with long legs & an angular face. Rex gets along with kittens & cats of all ages, as well as loving the company of out 2 large dogs. He is located in the Sydney Hills District.
Rex was adopted on 01 March 2015 after 1 year in foster care
Labradoodle X - male
Jing is an energetic and faithful boy. He is large and majestic with a playful, loving and bold temperament. Very well behaved he'd make a great jogging companion too.
We are rehoming Jing as he was taken on with the hope of training him up and getting him certified as a medical service dog.
unfortunately he doesn't quite meet the requirements as on a few occasions whilst walking him on a lead he would suddenly bark excessively at another dog, or person, for no reason we could ascertain. At other times he can walk past new people and other dogs with total disinterest. But sadly this will mean he won't pass the service dog requirement.
He is fully house trained and will toilet on command. He has been a wonderful inside companion dog, and is usually very social when out and about, accompanying us to markets, shops and even a hospital visit. (with about 10 teenage patients all patting and ooh aahhing over him). He responds very well to training and food rewards work a treat with him.
Jing would suit a capable dog handler and would be a devoted companion.
Foster Carer Required - If you can't offer Jing a permanent home but could help with providing him with foster care until a home is found then please contact Megan on 9627 2767 or dchanimaladoptions@iprimus.com.au
Domestic Short Hair - male
Harry is the best little kitten, ever! He is beautiful, smoochy, cuddly, lap kitten and cheeky explorer who is just itching to see the world. This little man is a big boy, lap cat in a teeny-tiny body.
Abandoned under 2 weeks of age, Harry has been in care ever since. Never really knowing his mum, he thinks he is (a hilarious eclectic mix of) kitten, puppy and human, sometimes all three at once. Don't let his tiny size deceive you, Harry is a playful, inquisitive, gorgeous 10 week old kitten in a tiny kitten body. He is a wonderful study buddy, but not very good at proof reading. He loves chasing string, balls and toes. He is healthy, happy, and we love him to bits, but it's time to find him his 'furever' home.
He has been wormed and vaccinated, will be microchipped, and will be re-homed with a deferred desexing form. Harry currently weighs 850gms, and when he is close to 1kg he will be ready to go to his new home. Probably around the middle of February.
He will probably be a big cat, but being little now, means you get the 'tiny kitten phase' for that much longer.
Harry (aka Tiny) was adopted on 28 February 2015 after 4 weeks in foster care

Abandoned, this litter of 6 kittens was fostered by two seperate rescue groups and we have three brothers in care.
The smallest of the three, Coco is a quiet, lovely playful and very affectionate little boy, always after cuddles and happy to purr to indicate pleasure. He has a very soft voice and is always found close to a human, where he will often flop while his brothers engage in rough play before joining them. When done playing, he will climb onto my lap or sit next to me for naps and is a very easy going kitten.
He has been raised in a home with young kids and is not stressed about being handled by them at all. He will make a lovely addition to any family, and we will be sorry to see him go to join an amazing family that will give him the play, love and attention he needs and deserves.
He is ready to meet potential families, though he won't be ready for his new home for another couple of weeks yet.

Domestic medium hair - male
Abandoned, this litter of 6 kittens was fostered by two seperate rescue groups and we have three brothers in care.
The most playful and curious of the three, Boo is a lovely playful and affectionate little boy, happy for cuddles when he is done playing. He comes across as a bit shy initially but warms up quickly with affection and is happy to climb into laps to nap or to just sit and watch the world go by- be warned. He will not do that for long before he wants to explore again. He loves playing with his brothers and exploring the world with them.

German Short Haired Pointer x - female
Shelby is an unusual cross breed with beautiful striking eyes, one blue, one brown, which is typical of the breeds.
She is in wonderful health with a sleek physique, not an gram of fat.
Unfortunately she has not had the training her intelligent mind requires, so she needs ongoing discipline & guidance. she has been left to entertain herself in a backyard instead of being encouraged into agility or scent training. She would make an excellent companion for an active family.
Requiring at least an hours walk/exercise per day someone who enjoys cycling/athletics/sport/jogging/beach outdoor lifestyle would find her romping in heaven & loving you for it.
What is difficult for me to see is how she cowers when I show her hand signals, indicative of being smacked in the past, she has to learn that you are NOT punishing her when you ask for obedience. I use hand signals instead of words so that when I am out at the park my fosters learn to watch me & come with signal rather than me hollering across the park. To see her fall to the ground at the sight of a hand raised is hard but with time & patience she will learn to trust again.
This is not a breed for first time dog owners, she requires clear & consistent boundaries, a kind & confident leader who will ask for conformity & be rewarded with good behaviour.
With a busy mind intellectual stimulation should be encouraged. Both GSP & Catahoula dogs are bred to help hunters so by exploiting their natural instincts of finding through scent alone you are playing to their strengths & will reap the rewards of a loyal & contented dog.
She will NOT do well left alone in a yard all day while you work.
If you feel you can offer Shelby the home she so richly deserves please call to discuss.

x breed - male
Paddy is one of Gypsy's puppies. Who is a medium size x breed (some northern breed in there) and paddy & his siblings look a bit border collie like, so we expect they will be medium size dogs when fully grown
Paddy is just a lovely, very sweet boy. He loves his dinner and is a very affectionate puppy.
Paddy is a bit of an old soul (I’m sure he has been here before) and would make a great dog for someone who just wants to sit and contemplate (that’s what Paddy does!), although still an active puppy, he will require regular exercise.
Paddy was adopted on 19 February 2015 after 2 months in foster care
