Please Read Carefully. #### NOT SUITABLE FOR SMALL CHILDREN ####
Before I tell you a bit about me it's important that you understand my history. I started my life in a bare yard with some bessa bricks as walls and corrugated iron for a roof. I then moved into care with Paws and Claws. In December 2020 I found my perfect home, with a lovely mum who worked on all my quirks and turned me into a loving and sweet young girl. Recent unexpected health issues meant she had to re-evaluate my long term care and she decided I would be better with a new family.
There's a few things you need to understand:
* My first week in my new home will be decompressing and learning your routine. Do not expect cuddles or affection. Just leave me to do my thing, and it will be a good week for me.
* My second week in my new home will be building trust and understanding. I will approach and seek affection on my terms, but will run if approached too quickly.
* Week three will be the golden week, where I will try and be as close to you as I can, but sudden movement will still frighten me. But I will start to sit next to you on the couch, and snuggle up against your leg.
It will take time for me to trust you, but once I do, it will be well worth the wait. It's worth noting that I don't do great if left alone for extended periods of time, and I can become destructive. In my foster carer's home, I have had 2 small dogs for company, so have been on my best behaviour.
I am not suitable for young children under 10 years, as if surprised I can give a warning nip. I don't want to hurt anyone, just let you know that I am uncomfortable.
As I'm also allergic to chicken, a large number of dog foods are not suitable for me, so I will need a special diet.
I also have some minor patella subluxation, which means occassionally my knee may pop out, then straight back in again. The vet has said I may live out the rest of my life without surgery, but you need to understand that it could one day be required, and my new forever family should be aware of this.
I am an 8 and a half year old, slightly nervous, Tibetan Spaniel x Kelpie girl. With patience, love and time, you will be rewarded with love in return.
My adoption fee is $350 and I am currently Located in Brooklyn Park.

Meet Angel (D0653)
Angel is a gorgeous young tabby boy estimated to be 4 months old.
Angel came into care alongside his sister Valentine and his mother Harmony, none of which had ever experienced the love and security of their own home. After months of patience and kindness, Angel has grown into a placid, affectionate, handsome young man who loves chin scritches and will "chat" with you in the mornings.
Angel has grown up in a home filled with other cats, large dogs and young humans and is at ease. He has not had direct contact with dogs but will move comfortably past the baby gate they hulk over. He has forged beautiful friendships with the other young cats and will often groom them.
Angel loves pats and strokes and is looking for a furever family that understands his background and will love and nurture him. If you're after a strikingly handsome, sweet and inquisitive young man to join your family, look no further than Angel!
Located in Murray Bridge.
Flea treated, wormed, microchipped, vaccinated and desexed.
Adoption Fee $200

Daisy D0881
Meet Daisy D0881
Daisy is a 4 year old fox terrier, looking for a special home.
Daisy is a very fun little dog, but she has her quirks! Daisy has a lot of anxiety inside the home, and while it is easily managed she will need an owner who is committed to providing her with a predictable structure and routine. She currently wears and Adaptil collar which has helped her confidence inside. She is highly treat motivated and eager to please, and works through her anxiety with ease with the right support from her humans.
Daisy does not have any separation anxiety and can be left home alone comfortably. She has also joined her foster carer in the office, and makes a great work companion - she's relaxed, quiet, and friendly after exploring the space.
Daisy's anxiety melts away when she's out on adventures. She loves long walks, hikes, and even enjoys a paddle in rivers and ponds. She's a perfect citizen when out and about, walks nicely on her harness, enjoys a game of fetch, and can be trusted off leash. She would make the perfect adventure buddy for an active person who enjoys hiking, jogging, and camping. When her physical exercise needs are met, her anxiety in the home decreases greatly.
Daisy can be homed with another small placid dog, but can be uneasy around big or boisterous dogs. Although initially reserved, she does enjoy playing with other dogs once she feels comfortable, and would enjoy meeting other balanced dogs for regular play dates.
While Daisy is highly tolerant of cats, kids, and big dogs and can visit them comfortably, she would prefer a home without them as they do add to her anxiety.
Potential adopters will need to commit to meeting Daisy with her foster carer at least twice before taking her home to help her feel comfortable. She will have an extended trial period of 4 weeks to ensure she settles in well with her new family.
Daisy is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on flea and worm treatment. She is currently located in foster care in Hilton, with an adoption fee of $400.

Albie D0723
Meet Albie D0723
Hi I'm Albie, I am a very friendly and playful mixed breed boy of around 12 weeks old. I have been in care with my sisters and absolutely adore their company and the company of the resident dogs. I have met cats and I am not fussed by them at all.
I enjoy my days lazing in the sunshine, playing with toys and exploring the yard. I enjoy my food and will benefit from some basic training as it is very hard to learn when competing with my sisters.
I am happy outdoors during the day and sleep in the laundry at night.
I am desexed, microchipped, vaccinated as well as flea and worm treated. Toilet training is a work in progress.
My adoption fee is $750. Located at St Marys

Hi, I am Annie. I am a quiet and gentle 12 week old mixed breed girl.
I love it when my humans sit on the ground and I can climb on their laps for pats and cuddles. I am a bit of an observer, and like to watch before joining in.
I enjoy the company of other dogs and have met cats and are not fazed at all by them. I have been living with my siblings and resident dogs and love to follow them around the yard and play with toys.
I am desexed, vaccinated, microchipped as well as flea and worm treated. Toilet training and basic training is a work in progress.
My adoption fee is $750 and located at St Marys.
