Rosie is a very happy little girl, and full of life. She is fantastic with kids and is used to living with them. Rosie is currently living with another small dog and they are so great together and play all the time. Rosie has probably not had much training so would benefit from some ongoing obedience training but will make a wonderful addition to the right family. She is good to walk on the lead and is currently used to being outside during the day but would love to be inside at night as she does feel this cold. Rosie is being cared for in the Wollongong area.

Riley is just one of those dogs that everyone loves, both other dogs and people. He is always happy and his tail never stops wagging. He is very sociable and is used to being with both big and small dogs and is quite submissive. Riley would definitely love to have some canine company and would make an excellent second dog (or third). Riley is housetrained and enjoys being inside with his family. He is quite well behaved but is still young so would need some more training. He is already going off lead and comes back when called. Riley also loves his food. He is being cared for in the Wollongong area.

Heckyl is a gorgeous boy with a lot of love to give, he is affectionate and very playful. He likes to spend his days lying in the sun, playing with other cats and playing chasing with dogs (he does the chasing). He would be suitable to any sort of family, he hasn't been around children much but he wouldn't take long to get used to them. He likes going out for a run during the day although at night he would much prefer to curl up on your lap and go to sleep. If he sounds like your missing family member please give us a call he would love to meet you. Heckyl is being cared for in the Windsor area.

Sparkles is a very happy, outgoing little dog with a great personality. She does get along very well with other dogs but also loves people. She would enjoy having some daily exercise and is currently an inside/outside dog. Sparkles is undergoing some basic obedience but is already quite a well behaved little girl. She has the most amazing coloured eyes and is very pretty. Sparkles is being cared for in the Wollongong area.

These two little girls are super cute but are still a little unsure about being in foster care. They are friendly but are scared of dogs and other cats, they would prefer to be only cats in their new homes and a home with no young children would be preferred.

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

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.

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.

This mum and bubs were rescued from the pound when their time ran out. They are currently being cared for in the Shellharbour area and the babies are ready to go to their new homes after 21/6/08 when 8wks old.

Friendly, cuddly, nice natured little kitten. Harry is quite the smoocher and is very docile and gentle. A lovely natured boy, Harry will need to be an inside only cat.
