Porter is a very handsome smart boy who know how to fetch and catch a ball, loves playing with water from the hose and walks very well on a lead. He is very friendly when meeting new dogs and loves his pats and hugs. sadly he was bitten on the tail by another dog at the pound and as a result half his tail has been amputated. Porter would make a fantastic family dog as he is very gentle with children and only wants to be loved.

Unfortunately during his stay at the pound Porter was bitten on the tail by another dog. As a result he lost the tip of his tail however further investigation by the vets have determined that his tail has been broken further down and there is nerve damage and exposed bone. Sadly this means half of Porter's tail will need to be amputated. Luckily he should make a full recovery and this won't cause him any ongoing problems.

Jack is a very smoochy boy who head buts you for a rub around the neck. He took a couple of weeks to settle in when he came here, but once he was comfortable with his new surroundings, he has showed us just what a lovely personality he has. Jack is good with other cats and kittens and is extremely good with large dogs. He is very attached to his friend Reubin the Irish Setter who has come into foster care with him. He loves to sit beside you on the lounge and also likes to sit on the back of the lounge just above your head. He is quite a passive boy who will wait his turn for food, rather than push his way into the food bowl and upset another cat. Jack is only 1 year old and would make a wonderful companion for someone who would give him the chance to settle in.

Livi is a really wonderful companion. She loves to follow you around the house and hates someone going into a room and shutting the door behind them and leaving her out. She has a beautiful grey coat that is very hard to photograph as the silver in it is picked up when the camera flashes. Livi is a very regal cat who loves to sit beside you on the lounge and she will cross her front paws which is really cute. Livi would make a wonderful addition to a family that is after a mature cat as she is about 10 years old. She doesn't seem to have any bad vices at all that I have observed.

Livi came to us at 10 years old after her owner passed away. She required extensive dental work before she was ready for rehoming including extraction of several teeth. This additional vet work has come to $320.40 and we are seeking sponsorship to help us cover some of these additional expenses.

If you can help sponsor some of the additional vet costs please call Megan on 9627 2767 or email dchanimaladoptions@iprimus.com.au. Thank you to Melissa, Maureen, Kristen and Jan for their donations towards Olivia. Her vet bills have now been fully covered.

Barney was abandoned as a young dog left to wander the streets all alone. The resident store owner felt sorry for him so would leave food out for him. However Barney belonged to no-one. Barney had to find different places to sleep at night to stay dry and warm.

Anne a DCH Animal Adoption foster career noticed that Barney always seemed to hang around this store and when she equired with the owner of the store he informed her that Barney had been abandoned some years ago and had continued to hang around the local Streets. Barney then came into DCH Animal Adoptions care. For the first few days Barney was very sad and depressed as he was unsure of what was going on and he did not understand English very well. However after a few days he began to trust and he started to relax settling in and making himself at home. Now after being in care for about a month Barney has completely changed and is a very happy confident dog who loves human company but equally enjoys playing and hanging out with his new found canine friends. He is very gentle with children and when anyone gives him attention he laps it up. Barney doesnt really like his feline friends as he feels that they are put on earth to chase (not harm) but chase.

Generally Barney is now a well adjusted happy dog who has learnt after all this time to be a dog and hang out in a back yard where he gets plenty of Love, food, shelter and companionship without having to try to hard.

Barney was a street dog for many years. Without a warm home to call his own or someone to take him to the vet when he was ill, he was in a fairly poor state when he came into care. We took him straight to the vets and he was diagnosed with severe arthritis in his left stifle and thoracic spinal pain. Barney was put on medication (rimadyl) anti inflammatory to see how he would respond.

Within a week of being on medication he started improving and acting like a two year old dog running and wrestling with his canine friends.

Rossi is a very handsome boy with stunning blue eyes. He is a sweet laid back affectionate quiet boy. He loves a cuddle and is slowly settling in to a new environment. He is still getting used to dogs and other cats so at this stage would love to be an only cat. He is toilet trained for an indoor only home. Rossi would only need a quick brush once a week to keep his fur looking nice.

Buffy is a very sweet natured little girl. She is very loving and cuddly and always purring. She gets along fine with other cats and dogs and is good with Children. She is kitty litter trained for an indoor only home. She was sadly surrendered to the pound as her owners did not have time for a cat. She was a little shaken up and confused about the whole ordeal but is now happy again getting love and attention and putting on some needed weight.

Bess is a very affectionate 20 month old cat. She loves being both indoors and outdoors. She doesn't like dogs and this being the reason her owners had to let her go. She is the perfect cat inside as she doesn't claw furniture and is litter trained but loves the outdoors just as much. Very friendly with children and people in general

Onion a very cuddly cute cross breed boy. He is Very social at the dog park and loves to give great big kisses to every dog he sees. He is a little awkward on the lead as he likes to stick (almost literally) to your legs. However, he is not out of control and is very gentle, and even after a few walks he has improved so much!. Onion is a beautiful dog who needs someone who will just love him and give him belly rubs and walks. I have no doubt he will be a wonderful and loving life long partner to the right owner.

Sampson is a Ginger Tipped Ragdoll If you are after a lap-cat then Sampson might be just what you are looking for. Even on 40 degrees days he will at least keep his back half on your lap just to be near you. If you let him, he is happy to spend the entire night on your lap. If you lap isn't available, the the arm of the lounge or another spot bery close to you keeps him happy. Sampson has the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen in a cat. He gets along well with numerous other cats and kittens and has always lived with large dogs so they don't worry him at all. He loves people and will meow at you when you talk to him,and he doesn't seem to have any bad habits at all. He has always lived indoors and would need for this to be the case at his new home as well.
