Italian Greyhound - male
Poor Little Bronson came into care with absolutely putrid teeth. They were rotting, green and stunk awfully. The vets advised that all his teeth would require removal. The surgery was recently undertaking and Bronson is now feeling much better and able to eat with ease. In the end he didn't have all his teeth removed as he has peridontal disease which means his jaw was eroding and removal of some of his teeth caused a split in his jaw so the vet thought it best to not remove all his teeth to avoid further damage. Bronsons surgery has cost $600 and we are seeking donations to help us cover these vet costs. If you can help sponsor some of these vet bills then please call Megan on 9627 2767 or email dchanimaladoptions@iprimus.com.au or click here
Thanks to Kersti, Joy and Irma for their donations towards Bronson's vet bills
Bronson was adopted on 30 August 2008 after 1 month in foster care
DSH - male
Toby is a massive cat with a gentle personality. He weighs approx 5kg and has a large impressive head with big green eyes to match! Toby likes being an 'inside only' cat and enjoys sleeping in front of the heater. Tobys not really into playing and would prefer a home where he sleep comfortably and be patted to his hearts content. He has a very deep purr and loves being scratched under his chin. Toby is very easy to handle and is not a fussy eater. Although he hasn't been around children, I believe toby would settle in well with them due to his docile nature. He is also 100% toilet trained and hasnever sprayed inside the house. Toby is good with other cats, but would also be happy as the only feline in the household. This beautiful boy was brought into the vet by a concerned lady who had noticed him hanging around her house. He was microchipped (as a girl mind you!) so the vet called his owner. The owner said he had been missing for too long and he didn't want him back and instructed the vet to take him to the pound! Toby is now happily in DCH care and we would like to find him a home with a new owner who would always want him back.
Toby had been living on the streets for approximately 12 months before coming into DCH care. Living of anything he could find had taken its toll on his teeth with his left lower canine tooth needing to be removed. As you can see from the photos this tooth is much smaller, yellower and is starting to show infection around the gumline. This tooth will need to be removed and we are seeking sponsorship to cover this costs.
Update 5/8/08: Toby's operation has gone well, the tooth ended up being rotted to the core and their was lots of infectious matter under the tooth. He's now recovering from his surgery and will be ready for his new home shortly.

Cattle Dog x - female
Timid and shy when she came into care, Roxy was a bundle of nerves when she met the cattle dogs she now shares a home with.. But it didn't take long for her to learn to trust them and she now runs with them like she knew them all along. She has grown into a confident and assertive pup, and is quick to learn to follow commands that the other dogs already know. Due to her obvious intelligence she will need to have an owner who is able to demonstrate strong leadership with her or she will try and rule the house. Ideally, a home with a family willing to enrol her and participate with her at a local obedience would ensure that she has an avenue to concentrate and use the intelligence she is demonstrating so far. She would ideally be suited in a home where she has either human company all the time or another pup or dog for company. Actually she would probably be fine with a cat as a best friend as she was more comfortable with the cats in her foster home than the dogs to start with, even though she can have a tendency to be a bit excited when around them. She runs after them but the first time she met one of the cats here she tried to rub her face on them like she was a kitten.. Little Roxy Red Dogs (as she is known) has such soulful eyes and watches intently when you speak to her.. She will try to please whoever she chooses to make her home with, and I am sure they will be just as pleased at having her as a best friend.

Purebred Cocker Spaniel - male
Trevor is a gorgeous purebred Black Cocker Spaniel. He is a happy friendly fellow who loves company and plenty of exercise. He is fine with other dogs (It hasn't occurred to him that that another dog may not like him). His tail never stops wagging and he loves a game of fetch. He does know some basic commands but he does have trouble concentrating when he is excited. Trevor's ideal family will have a large backyard and walk him twice a day. He would love another energetic companion to keep him company and play with. He is also lifetime registered.
Trevor was adopted on 27 August 2008 after 2 weeks in foster care
small-medium x breed - female
These poor babies were found on the side of the road. Sadly their other sibling hadn't survived the cold night. They were lucky to be found in the morning and with the love and care of their foster family they are thriving!
Poor little Millie has suffered an injury when only very small, as a result she has some scar tissue on her head giving her a big lump as shown in the picture. This doesn't affect her at all and should reduce in size as she gets bigger.

Purebred German Shorthair Poin - male
Cooper is a typical loveable and excitable GSP. He is obedience trained but pushes the boundaries so he probaby requires an experienced owner. He gets along fantastically with other dogs and is obsessed with fetching the ball. He loves children but was surrendered because he was too hyper with the little ones
so we would recommend he only be homed with children around 10 or older. Cooper gets very anxious when left alone so he needs to be with another dog or an owner who is home most of the time. We would also advise 6 foot fences as he will try to pursue birds. Cooper previously lived with cats and is a truly stunning looking dog. og.

Max is a little pocket rocket. With a a cheerful disposition and unusual habit of wanting to suck people's thumbs, Max is as playful as he is adorable to look at. While not the brightest tool in the shed, Max will, nevertheless, keep you (and himself...) entertained for hours!
