This mum and bubs were rescued from a country pound and sadly the babies have now all come down with Parvo. This is often a fatal disease in young pups and all 5 are now fighting for their lives at our vet clinic on drips.

Update 21/10/08: Sadly the smallest little puppy didn't make it. The other 4 are still fighting but 3 of them are doing a bit better today so we are hopeful they will pull through

Update 23/10/08: 3 of the puppies are now well enough to go home, unfortunately puppy number 4 is still critical at the vets.

Update 25/10/08: All 4 puppies are now at home with their foster carer and although they still have a tough few days ahead, they are expected to make a full recovery

Update 27/10/08: Sadly the 4th little girl took a turn for the worse today and didn't make it. The remaining 3 are doing well.

Update 15/11/08: All the other 3 puppies are doing well and will go to their new homes at the end of November. We are still seeking sponsorship to cover their large vet bill. If you can help please contact us If you can help sponsor these pups, whose vet bill so far has come to $3000, then please call Megan on 9627 2767 or email dchanimaladoptions@iprimus.com.au or click below Thank you to Vernon, Rosemary, Matthew, Roger, Lee, Ruth and Paul for their contributions towards these babies vet bills. We still need sponsorship for $1500 worth of vet fees

Mother of Phoebe and Wally above, Jedda came into the pound with her pups and she is now ready for a home of her own.

Ellie is a pretty, friendly and active girl. She is very intelligent and obedience trained (she would suit advanced training). As she can be a little willful, we don't consider her suitable for a first time dog owner. However, she would be an ideal second dog to keep another active dog occupied. Ellie just loves play!!! The love of her life is fetching the ball which makes her a pleasure to exercise and easy to bond with.

This young bundle of purrs was obviously loved by someone as she just adores her people. Holly absolutely loves attention. When it comes to pats and cuddles her theory is two hands are better than one. She is a big purrer and turns it on as soon as she spots you. She's not particularly curious and will sit patiently when you're busy. As soon as you're done, she'll remind you she's there with a cute little meow and will rush over to see if its cuddle time.

Holly is not a fussy eater and when coaxed to play shows how kitten-like she still is and so would need supervision with younger children. She is fully house and litter-trained, not much of a climber and is not destructive. She's fine with all the noise of a household, likes to help with sweeping and isn't fazed by the vacuum. Shes far more interested in human company and loses interest in anything else when people are around. Holly is initially wary around other cats and hasnt been around dogs whilst in care. This wariness is possibly due to living on the streets fending for herself and her 4 babies before ending up at the shelter. Being only a teenager herself she did a marvelous job of raising her young as they were all fit and healthy and adopted straight from the pound. Now its this beautiful girls turn to find a new home to call her own.

Besides becoming the ruler of the household at only 4 and a bit months, crackers has also has grown accustom to sleeping in his carers arms every evening, while you watch a bit of TV, but if it is a colourful show he will sit on the arm of the chair with you and watch. When you first walk in the door he loves to greet you and tell you all about his day. Crackers is a lovely boy who will suit most households, he is such a sweetie and loves being caried around the house like a ragdoll but he does tend to carry on when strangers come to visit, otherwise he is a perfect little boy.

She is a very sweet and gentle girl. She is very obedient and absolutely loves tummy rubs and shaking hands. She loves her humans and follows you around everywhere when your in the backyard with her. She does like all the attention paid to her so would probably be best as an only dog. She sleeps outside and is ok with that. Although would love to keep you company inside. She is not a fussy eater and eats everything you give her. She is a lovely girl.

Free to good home cat

This young girl is looking for a new home urgently as her owners are moving.

Conrad is a just one cuddly kitten but at the same time inquisitive and confident. He would be ideal for any household as he is easygoing and loving.

Special Needs Kilo is a lovely boy that has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Although he is not in any pain at the moment he will require medication later in his life when his hips deteriorate and start to cause some pain. He is a happy and energetic Labrador that adores people and just wants to please. He gets along great with other dogs including my dominant male and loves to play with his foster brothers and sisters. He will sit for pats and will wait for his dinner although does require some training on his walks. He would ideally love a home with another doggie friend to keep him company or a family that was home most of the day. Kilo is a great dog that loves life and would make a great addition to the right family.
