Elijah
Name: Elijah
Age: 11 years
Breed: Tibetan Spaniel mix
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $495
Cat friendly: No
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW & ACT only
Elijah’s foster carer has this to say about him.
“Elijah loves to be outside and can most often be found sunning himself in the garden. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, a collection of small golden oldies. On leash Elijah or Eli as he’s affectionately known can be a bit reactive to new dogs but is progressing well with his training.
Being 10 years old, Eli is a bit set in his ways, he knows what he likes and what he doesn’t, he is learning through gentle leadership how to be a well behaved gentleman but he can sometimes be a little bit of a grump so is best in an adult only home.”
Elijah does have some arthritis but after a course of anti-inflammatory injections is feeling much better, his new family would need to be aware of when he might be feeling a little sore and get him a vet check-up. He might benefit from some daily help with something like Rosehip Vital.
Elijah needs access inside when his family are home and has a long coat that requires regular brushing to avoid matting. We know that the perfect retirement home is out there for Eli.
If you meet the criteria and feel like your home might be just right for Elijah, please email a detailed description of your home and lifestyle to info@deniseatpaws.com.au

Buddy and Loki
Name: Buddy and Loki
Age: 6 years
Breed: Beagle Mix
Sex: Male
Size: Medium to Large
Adoption Fee: $800 (Bonded Pair)
Cat Friendly: No
Another dog in the home: No
Interstate adoption: NSW & ACT only
Buddy and Loki are two lovable Beagle mix brothers from different crossbreed litters, they are sweet as sugar and too cute to boot.
Now fully grown (both over 25kgs) they are well past the naughty stage and love to lounge around the house together, playing, having a wrestle, and keeping each other company. Both boys are toilet trained, use a doggy door, and are home during the day alone a few days a week.
Access inside as they please, this is what the boys are accustom to and like this arrangement. Ideally, their new fam will have a decent sized yard for them to also explore. Daily walks and exercise are an absolute must, they enjoy walks and going to the dog park, have loads of energy to burn but are happy to just chill for the remainder of the day.
They have toddlers in the home that they tolerate well, but being hounds, their noses rule their lives and are always looking out for a dropped "snack" or to "share" their food. Older children or teenagers would be more suitable.
These boys are delightfully sweet but are larger dogs (between 25-33kgs) and will require a family that can handle their size, experience with larger dogs is preferred but not essential.
Please read the criteria carefully and if you feel you tick all the boxes and would like to add two handsome lads to your family, please email a detailed description of your home and lifestyle to info@deniseatpaws.com.au

Another dog in the home: No

Do you like your ladies with curves and swerves! We’ll check out these voluptuous girls!
Scamp and Tinker came into our care after their beloved dad passed away, they have only known love and you can tell because these two have such sweet, kind natures and the sheer site of their low riding bodies makes you melt.
What type of home are these ladies looking for, keep reading :
Scamp and Tinker are after a retirement home, somewhere they can potter around and be doted upon.
Short strolls and a good diet are needed to get rid of some of those extra kilos... currently Scamp (black and tan) is the heavier of the two and requires some extra motivation to get that body moving.
These girls get along with other animals but are probably best suited to being the only dogs in the home as they sure do like to soak up all the love.
A family committed to their ongoing health, Tinker has arthritis in her hip and requires pain management, ie anti-inflammatory injections.
Access inside, this is what the girls are used to and enjoy. They are housetrained and just want to chill by the couch. A bucketload of pats and butt scratches because... of course!
If you think your home is missing two curvaceous ladies, email us at info@deniseatpaws.com.au detailing your home. If the inn is full, please share and spread the word about these gorgeous girls.

Simpson
Name: Simpson
Age: 2 years
Breed: Poodle Mix
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Canberra
R251 000 066
Meet Simpson. Simpson was found in terrible condition, running frantically around the War Memorial in Canberra just after ANZAC day. You can see how he got his name.
Simpson is only young, estimated less than 2 years old and he's had a bit of a rough start to life, but he is beautiful and a total sweetheart. He is flourishing in foster care, taking guidance and confidence in the other dogs in the house. He is a little skittish at the moment, but he improves every day with gentle handling. There is not a mean bone in his body, he just needs to learn to dog and that humans are here to help.
What Simpson needs;
- another confident, gentle dog in the home. Another dog will help him learn and he loves a game of chasies!
- a family (or single) who is committed to his ongoing rehabilitation including gentle, force-free training. He does need a little bit of work to build his confidence, but he is young and very willing to learn.
- regular grooming. His coat is spectacular and really unusual, it will need regular attention like every Oodle. He appears to be all poodle, but the colouring makes us wonder if there is a little bit of something else sprinkled in.
- We have no concerns with kids but prefer sensible kids over ten just to keep the excitement levels down. Visiting grandchildren are fine.
- housetraining is going very well but he might have a mistake or two while he's settling in. He currently gets car sick but a booster seat and regular short trips to fun places will sort that out. Poor little bloke is unlikely to have been in a car before!

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney

Bowie has a heart full of love. He adores being with his humans and soaking up all the attention. Massages and lounging on the couch with his carers are his idea of heaven. He loves basking in the sun on the balcony until the rays disappear.
When he hears the word "WALK," Bowie gets very excited, as he enjoys his daily walks. He sleeps all through the night and is very well-behaved when his carers need to go shopping or to work, as long as he isn’t left alone for extended periods. While his carers are out, Bowie lays in his favorite spot and watches Dog TV or listens to talk radio.
Bowie is suitable for apartment living, as he is currently living in an apartment and is very well-behaved. He is also toilet trained. The best home for Bowie will be one where he is the only dog.
# Please Do Not apply for Bowie if your family is not completely suitable.

Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney

Meet Sully – Our Lovable 3-Year-Old Beagle!
Sully has come so far since joining foster care! Once isolated in his previous home, he’s now thriving in a loving family environment with kids and other dogs. He’s learned how to be part of a pack, and he’s absolutely blossomed.
What makes Sully special?
- Super affectionate—loves being petted (he’ll even paw at you for more!)
- Fully toilet-trained
- Smart as a whip
- Loves food, treats, and going on walks
- Gets along with small or similar-sized female dogs
âš A few quirks:
- Sully prefers female dogs over males
- Can get a little too excited and bark at dogs on walks
- Dog parks aren’t his thing—unless it’s a quiet time with small dogs
- Watch out—he’s a food container escape artist (classic Beagle behavior!)
The perfect home for Sully:
Sully would thrive as an only dog or with a small, calm female dog. He’d love a home with teenagers who’ll play ball with him, or a retired couple who enjoy daily walks, an active single looking for a loyal companion. He’s got a lot of energy and will need regular exercise!
# Please Do Not apply for Sully if your family is not completely suitable.

Chewy
Name: Chewy
Age: 5 months
Breed: Pug X Poodle
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Chewy is an adorable Pug x Poodle mix who came from a backyard breeder in Sydney, along with many of his siblings and relatives. At just 5 months old, Chewy is a sweet and loving little boy who adores people. He enjoys playing with his foster brother, who is also an oodle mix, and has bonded wonderfully with the young boy and girl in his foster family. Chewy follows his foster parents around the house, showing just how much, he loves being close to his humans.
Chewy is a well-behaved pup who walks nicely on a leash and is working on perfecting his house-training skills—he’s well on his way! His ideal forever home would be with a family that isn’t away for long periods, as he thrives on companionship. He loves children, so a home with kids would be perfect, and having another dog is a must to give him confidence and a playmate. Daily walks are important to keep him happy and healthy.
Chewy has a soft, wispy coat that is low-maintenance—a trim now and then and an occasional bath will keep him looking his best. As a house dog, he needs constant access to the home through an open door or a doggie door. While he is crate-trained, he would be thrilled to sleep on someone’s bed all night long.
# Please Do Not apply for Chewy if your family is not completely suitable. If you don’t currently have another dog, please note that your application won’t receive a response.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Chewy. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into a new home.

Minnow
Name: Minnow
Age: 8 months
Breed: Pomeranian X Chihuahua
Sex: Female
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Central Coast
R251 000 066
Meet Minnow, the tiniest bundle of joy with the biggest heart! At just 4 kilos, she may be small, but her name—symbolizing happiness, freedom, and abundance—perfectly captures the spirit of this 8-month-old, playful little pup.
Minnow is a cuddle enthusiast. She loves nothing more than curling up in your arms, drifting off to sleep, or burrowing under a soft fleecy blanket when the air turns crisp. Her sweetness shines through in every affectionate nuzzle and gentle snooze by your side.
While she has a touch of shyness, Minnow blossoms alongside a canine companion. A lively, playful friend would be her perfect match—someone to chase around the garden, wrestle in a game of bitey face, or tug toys back and forth until the fun turns into an adorable nap.
Fully housetrained and clever as can be, Minnow confidently uses a dog door and knows when to step outside. She’s a dainty little grazer, preferring to nibble throughout the day, but her mornings wouldn’t be complete without a tasty treat!
True to her puppy spirit, she’s a tiny sprite, zipping through the house with boundless energy, playfully digging holes, presenting her latest bug discovery, and occasionally testing her chewing skills on whatever catches her eye (toy swapping is key!).
Minnow’s silky coat is a breeze to care for, needing just a light brush once or twice a week. She enjoys outings on a lead, cheerfully meeting new faces and trotting along with her signature charm.
# Please Do Not apply for Minnow if your family is not completely suitable. If you don’t currently have another dog, please note that your application won’t receive a response.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Minnow. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into a new home.

Pixel
Name: Pixel
Age: 15 weeks
Breed: Maltese mix
Sex: Female
Size: Tiny
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Meet Pixel, an adorable 15-week-old Maltese mix puppy who is about to start on the journey to her forever home. Despite a challenging start, her story is now one of hope and resilience. At 8 weeks of age, Pixel was purchased from a backyard breeder by an elderly woman in her 80s. Unfortunately, the woman suffered a heart attack shortly after her purchase which saw Pixel confined to a small pen for the next 7 weeks with no opportunity for walks, no time was spent playing with her new owner, no cuddles and no socialisation.
Pixel was in the midst of the most critical period of her young life, the first 16 weeks of a puppy's life is when they learn how to play, love and be loved, toilet trained, socialised with humans and other dogs etc. Instead, Pixel got zero attention after being taken from her Mum and siblings, such heartbreaking stuff for such a sweet little puppy.
Pixel thrives in a quiet, nurturing environment and is best suited to a home with adults or a couple. She is incredibly timid around new people and will require a patient family committed to helping her build confidence. Due to her shy nature, she is not ideal for busy outings such as school pick-ups, sporting events, or trips to cafés. While Pixel does not respond aggressively when frightened, she will cower, tremble, or occasionally have accidents when overwhelmed.
Pixel adores the company of other dogs and finds great comfort in their presence. She loves playing and cuddling with her foster sibling, often relying on them for reassurance and a sense of security. Having another friendly dog in the household is a must for Pixel, as they help her feel more confident and at ease.
She enjoys bursts of playful energy in the evenings and delights in chasing and jumping with her foster sibling. At night, Pixel sleeps peacefully in a crate but would love nothing more than to sleep next to her doggy companion.
Pixel recently experienced her first walk and is making steady progress. She feels more comfortable in quiet parks, as passing people or loud noises in residential areas still frighten her. She walks best when accompanied by her foster sibling and is gaining confidence with each outing.
Since joining her foster home, the primary focus has been on earning Pixel's trust. While toilet training and basic commands are in progress, Pixel's new family will need to continue this training journey. She is sensitive to loud noises and door knocks, often retreating to a safe space when startled.
What Pixel Needs:
-A quiet and patient household willing to support her emotional development.
-A friendly and understanding dog as a companion.
-Indoor access at all times (she does not shed).
-A family committed to continuing her basic training and socialisation.
Pixel is a gentle soul with a lot of love to give, especially with the right guidance and care. With time and patience, this special puppy will surely flourish into a confident and happy dog.
# Please Do Not apply for Pixel if your family is not completely suitable.

Age: 8-10 years
Breed: Chihuahua
Sex: Female
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Kisses is a Chihuahua, she is a senior citizen around 8-10 years of age and is in foster care in Sydney. If Kisses is lucky enough to find a new home of her own, Denise at Paws will always be available to help out if needed. A home with someone who has experience with a blind dog would be perfect.
Meet Kisses, a little ray of sunshine wrapped in fur. Despite her blindness, Kisses sees the world in a way that's truly extraordinary. In her foster home, she has amazed everyone by finding her way around, conquering stairs, and even mastering the doggie door—all on her own! Her determination and cleverness are just part of what makes Kisses so special.
When it comes to companionship, Kisses shines brightest. She adores curling up on the couch, snuggling into the crook of your arm, and soaking up all the love you can give. Her favorite spot is right next to you, enjoying gentle head kisses and the warmth of your presence. She's a quiet soul who finds comfort in peaceful routines, like retreating to her crate for undisturbed meals and naps.
Kisses is incredibly well-behaved and house-trained. She doesn’t just adapt; she thrives. Her daily eye drops, which she takes without a fuss, are a testament to her calm and trusting nature. Though she hasn’t ventured out for walks yet, her foster mum believes she’d do well in quiet, tranquil surroundings.
What Kisses longs for now is a forever home. She dreams of a loving, caring person who understands her needs and cherishes her gentle spirit. Someone who can provide her daily eye care, regular vet visits, and, most importantly, a heart full of love. A calm household without noisy children or other dogs would be ideal, though she’s perfectly fine being left alone for a few hours when needed.
If you’re a couch potato or simply someone with a lot of love to give, Kisses would be overjoyed to share her life with you. She’ll repay your kindness with endless cuddles, her quiet companionship, and the occasional adorable paw on your arm as a reminder that she’s always there for you.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Minnow. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into a new home.

Heeereee's HUMPHREY! We're looking for a unicorn home for dear Humphrey. He's had a very rough trot, abandoned at a pound in a shocking state with a life-threatening hernia. It was touch and go for quite a while, but suddenly he is feeling so much better, taking joy in sunlight, food, other dogs and snuggles. He's very, very sweet.
What Humphrey needs.
A loving, quiet home to convalescence. In saying that, get him out! Take him on short walks, get him out in the sun, take him to cafes, he's really dog and human social and is a delight in the car.
Another small, friendly dog for company. He ADORES other dogs regardless of size. He happily trit-trotted into the groomers because there were other dogs in there and he was busting to make new friends.
Someone who will keep in touch. Humphrey will need an extensive dental. Under medical advice, we will probably wait another six months, but of course we will pay all bills.
He'll be fine if you work, he has no separation anxiety. We suggest teenage kids, he can't be bothered with youngsters.
Humphrey is a dear little thing, inquisitive, friendly, and social. He is brilliant in the car and is a lovely, gentle companion that needs and deserves to be loved. If you are interested in Humphrey and his story, come across to Denise at Paws Inc, following the Canberra Gang, on FB.

Through no fault of his own Levi has found himself needing a new foster to adopt home. His original foster carers dog has become very ill, and they need to spend lots of quality time with him. We wish them all the best with their very sick dog.
Levi is a 8kg bundle of love. He is fully toilet-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night in his own bed on the bedroom floor, and travels wonderfully in the car. Levi adores snuggling on the lounge and being close to his humans.
This sweet boy would do best in a home with another friendly dog to give him confidence when left alone. While he can be anxious, particularly on walks, he’s improving steadily and may benefit from a little extra training. Despite his shyness, Levi is excellent at cafes and waits patiently while you enjoy your coffee. He gets along well with other dogs but can sometimes be timid.
No children under 8 years of age.
Levi is suited to both long and short walks, making him a versatile companion ready to adapt to your lifestyle.

“As you can see from my profile picture, I am a very good-looking boy, I’m just a baby at 14 months old so am still learning things, but my foster Mum says I am smart and catch on quickly.
I love my food, dry food, and meatballs, with two small meals per day. I love treats too so if you need to if you need to teach me anything = Show me the treats."
"I am amazing on lead and will trot next to my foster sister. I also enjoy a good run around the oval.
I love my enclosed backyard and chase little lizards which keeps me occupied for hours (I don’t catch any) I’m inquisitive, so make sure there’s nowhere for me to escape!"
"My perfect home will be with an ACTIVE FEMALE who will walk me at least once a day because I only have short legs.
My foster Mum says I have a beautiful temperament and I’m always calm and relaxed when I am with her. I do however get a little nervous AROUND MEN and BOYS SCARE ME so I bark at them and try to chase them away so I will do best in an ALL-FEMALE HOME. (This doesn’t mean any grandkids-supervised visits I’ll be fine. I am not snappy, just scared.)"
"Whilst I enjoy laying outside in the sun, I would not like to sleep outside. I am a very clean little boy and love sleeping snuggled up on my foster Mums bed. She puts the fleece blanket over me, and I stay there all night."
"CAR TRIPS – I love these too. My foster Mum bought me a booster seat and its great because I can look out the window. I am a fantastic camper too."
"My foster Mum has shown me many new things and I’ve taken it all in my stride because I trust her, and she makes me feel safe. Once I learn to trust my new (Forever) Mum, I’ll be the same.
I would prefer no stairs; I climb the cat tree and the dining room table!"
Another dog in my home will be best for me.
A family who doesn’t go out to work for hours on end and leave me and my doggie friend all alone for a long time."

Kookie
Name: Kookie
Age: 6 years
Breed: Pomerarian mix
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
If you love lively little ginger dogs, then meet Kookie, a 3.6kg bundle of Pomeranian mix!! This gorgeous little dog is a loving, snuggly little boy who absolutely dotes on his humans and loves life in general. He is extremely affectionate and low maintenance, and when bedtime calls, his great joy is to scramble under the blankets with you at night; daytime cuddles on the couch are another of his favourite things – and you had better be quick or else you will be getting insistent nose nudges if you aren’t.
Kookie would be best with a family where someone is home often as all dogs want and need company and attention. He does have some separation anxiety but as his confidence grows this has diminished markedly. Another small dogs (or dogs) would be good as most dogs prefer having their own kind around. He must have access to outside via a doggie door or similar as he is a young, active dog who loves running around and exploring the garden. He has shown both fear and delight at the attention of children, so if there are children in the household, they must be aware of this, learn how to interact with him and know how to be around small dogs. He does seek out “his” people for cuddles and affection.
He loves his walks, getting happy and excited when the lead comes out. He is somewhat reactive to other dogs while out walking, but since being in foster care has improved massively with expert, kind and consistent training. Kookie did not have much exposure to the outside world before coming into DAP Rescue so ongoing training is a must for his and his new family’s happiness and wellbeing. He is very intelligent, and his foster parent is very impressed by how quickly he learns new behaviours and adapts to new situations.
Kookie is on epilepsy medication for life with the cost being less than $10 per month. His medication is working perfectly, he takes it easily in a bit of cheese at breakfast and dinner and this condition has no effect on his quality of life. Epilepsy does seem to raise its head in Pomeranians. Since his medication has been adapted by a specialist, his very mild symptoms have virtually disappeared.
Kookie is currently residing in Normanhurst and is much loved by his foster parent who will be very sad to see him go but knows that we will find the best home for him. Kookie is currently living with three other little dogs as well as the occasional short-term visitor. He is quite unfazed. He has zero food aggression sharing his eating space with the other dogs.
Kookie is truly such a delightful little dog who exudes love and happiness. He is a great favourite with his groomer Emma whom he visits regularly to keep his beautiful coat knot free and comfortable. In between grooms, bushing him is so enjoyable and he loves it too.

Lulu
Name: Lulu
Age: 3 years
Breed: Pomeranian x Chihuahua
Sex: Female
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Lulu is an absolute sweetheart with a gorgeous little face. She’s all Pomeranian pizzaz and Chihuahua cheekiness with none of the attitude. She settled in and became one of the family instantly. She’s a happy, quiet little soul with a waggy tail and a constant smile. You’d never known she’s had a rough couple of months after losing her leg. Extremely affectionate and the epitome of low maintenance, she loves a cuddle and a belly scratch. She’s been well trained and has perfect manners. Not a single toileting accident and so polite at mealtimes. She loves a treat!
Lulu would be best with a family where someone is home more often than not, she loves company and affection and would be very sad home alone. Another small dog (or dogs) in the home please - Lulu loves to play. She must have access to outside via a doggie door or similar as she is a young, busy dog who loves chasing a ball. She loves to follow her foster family around the house and is very happy in the car joining in with her people and doggy friends.
Despite her missing limb, Lulu loves a short walk and a good sniff. At 5kgs she’s light to carry up/downstairs. She’s off her meds now and apart from an occasional bit of phantom limb licking looks to have healed completely after the amputation and doesn’t seem to be in any pain. Once her beautiful red fur grows back in, she’ll be just as beautiful outside as she is inside. She happily hops up and down the doggy stairs to the bed and chooses to jump on and off the sofa by herself.
Lulu is currently in Neutral Bay and is much loved by her foster family who will miss her dearly but know she’s a little social butterfly who will steal her new family’s hearts immediately. She appears to have been well loved and cared for until her accident and doesn’t show any signs of abuse.
Lulu is currently living with two children and three other little dogs as well as short-term visitors. She’s curious and keen to get in the mix, often initiating play. She’d be best with gentle children who will respect her space and occasional lack of balance when she’s excited.

Celine
Name: Celine
Age: 8 Years
Breed: French bulldog
Sex: Female
Size: Medium
Adoption fee: $450
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Celine was rescued from Campbeltown Pound in Sydney some time ago. She came into the pound with her daughter Gracie – both dogs were in horrific condition, and it was obvious to anyone that they had been used for breeding and looked to have had many, many litters! Both Gracie and Celine have required various surgeries and medication to bring them back to good health and are now enjoying a good life with their foster carers.
Celine is a very sweet dog, she has a beautiful personality with her humans, is very obedient and loves the dog she is living with. She goes out on walks around the neighbourhood and has been to the beach a few times and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We believe that the best home for Celine will be as an only dog, she is a bit of a couch potato these days and does enjoy laying in her bed in the company of her human or toddling around the garden enjoying the cool breeze blowing in her face.
Celine is very much a house dog and must always have access inside, she does love children so a home with kids would also be nice for her. She is on the quieter side so a home with a retired couple would also be a nice option for her.

Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Milton is a lively Maltese x Shih Tzu who is around 15months of age, he has a contagious zest for life, as seen on his adorable face. His mission in life is to ensure every couch is sat on and every hand is occupied patting his head. Snuggles and cuddles are the name of the game for him.
He’s a high-energy young dog who has proven to be a quick learner. Since moving to his foster home, he has gained confidence due to the kindness shown to him, something we believe he didn't have in his previous home. Milton has learned crucial recall and reliable toilet training. He can be a little scared by other dogs while on a lead (although improving!), but off-lead in appropriate spaces, he’s confident, well-mannered, and plays very well with other dogs.
Milton can be nervous around loud noises and rapid movements, but he’s proven to be a brave boy and continues to conquer his fears. He thrives in a loving environment where he can receive plenty of attention and affection. Milton enjoys playing with toys and loves to be involved in whatever his humans are doing. He’s a loyal companion who will bring joy and laughter to his new family. Milton loves going out on walks with his foster dog companion and enjoys being an inside dog with access via a doggie door 24/7. We would like to see Milton with a doggie friend in his new home, one who will play with him and keep him company if his pawrents go out to work during the day.

Meet Billy, a super friendly and affectionate 18-month-old ( 7.4 kgs) cavoodle who is sadly in need of a new home after his mum fell ill and could no longer care for him.
Billy is a sweet, gentle, and playful boy who gets along well with both people and dogs. He plays gently and especially enjoys the company of other young, kind-hearted pups. His best friend is his 10-month-old, 3.8kg housemate—who is definitely the boss! He loves visiting the dog park, where he has a blast romping around with small dogs.
Although Billy is still adjusting to the recent changes in his life, he’s steadily gaining confidence and forming connections with those who give him time to warm up. With a patient and caring owner—plus an understanding canine friend or two—Billy will continue to blossom.
Care & Routine:
- Regular brushing and professional grooming/clipping every 6–8 weeks.
- A varied diet including quality kibble, chicken, eggs, and vegetables (carrot, sweet potato, peas, etc.).
- Sleeps inside through the night in his dog snuggle bed, always needing indoor access via a doggie door or open door.

Billy MUST have a friendly CANINE COMPANION already living in his new home to help him develop social skills, share playtime, and enjoy walks and adventures together.

Polar -- On Trial
Name: Polar
Age: 4 years
Breed: Groodle
Sex: Female
Size: Large
Adoption fee: $1000
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: Only available within NSW
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Polar is a beautiful Groodle looking for her forever home. She comes from an environment (puppy farm) where she wasn’t accustomed to living in a house, but thanks to her foster family’s kindness, she has blossomed into a happy, affectionate companion.
When Polar first arrived, everything was new to her—couches, kitchens, even televisions! She wasn’t housetrained, but she has made remarkable progress and continues to adapt well. With gentle training, she has revealed her sweet and loving personality.
Now, after nearly two months in foster care, Polar has truly embraced her new life. She loves to run and play, and her joyful spirit shines through every day.
What Polar Needs in Her Forever Home:
- A Canine Friend: Polar finds comfort in the presence of other dogs, having adored her two Pug buddies in foster care.
- A Social Life: She loves meeting people and other dogs on her daily walks. While she hasn’t had much interaction with young children, she has been friendly with those she has met, so a home with children over 12 years old should be fine.
- Continued Gentle Training: Polar has thrived with positive, force-free training and needs a patient family who will continue supporting her progress.
- An Affectionate Household: She loves being around people and craves affection, hugs, and companionship. A home where someone is present most of the time would suit her best. Polar must have access to her home at all times via a doggie door or open door, this includes when her new pawrents are out and about without her.
- Daily Exercise: Polar enjoys visits to the dog park, running, walking, and playing fetch. Her ideal family should be committed to keeping her active and engaged.
- Indoor Access: She has adjusted beautifully to living indoors and has learned to toilet outside. She may need continued guidance in a new environment to reinforce good habits.
- Regular Grooming: Polar has a typical Golden Retriever x Poodle coat and requires regular brushing and trimming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best.
Polar is a delightful, affectionate dog who has come such a long way in her journey. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion, she just might be the perfect addition to your family!

Simpson
Name: Simpson
Age: 2 years

Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Canberra
R251 000 066
Meet Simpson. Simpson was found in terrible condition, running frantically around the War Memorial in Canberra just after ANZAC day. You can see how he got his name.
Simpson is only young, estimated less than 2 years old and he's had a bit of a rough start to life, but he is beautiful and a total sweetheart. He is flourishing in foster care, taking guidance and confidence in the other dogs in the house. He is a little skittish at the moment, but he improves every day with gentle handling. There is not a mean bone in his body, he just needs to learn to dog and that humans are here to help.
What Simpson needs;
- another confident, gentle dog in the home. Another dog will help him learn and he loves a game of chasies!
- a family (or single) who is committed to his ongoing rehabilitation including gentle, force-free training. He does need a little bit of work to build his confidence, but he is young and very willing to learn.
- regular grooming. His coat is spectacular and really unusual, it will need regular attention like every Oodle. He appears to be all poodle, but the colouring makes us wonder if there is a little bit of something else sprinkled in.
- We have no concerns with kids but prefer sensible kids over ten just to keep the excitement levels down. Visiting grandchildren are fine.
- housetraining is going very well but he might have a mistake or two while he's settling in. He currently gets car sick but a booster seat and regular short trips to fun places will sort that out. Poor little bloke is unlikely to have been in a car before!

Bowie has a heart full of love. He adores being with his humans and soaking up all the attention. Massages and lounging on the couch with his carers are his idea of heaven. He loves basking in the sun on the balcony until the rays disappear.
When he hears the word "WALK," Bowie gets very excited, as he enjoys his daily walks. He sleeps all through the night and is very well-behaved when his carers need to go shopping or to work, as long as he isn’t left alone for extended periods. While his carers are out, Bowie lays in his favorite spot and watches Dog TV or listens to talk radio.
Bowie is suitable for apartment living, as he is currently living in an apartment and is very well-behaved. He is also toilet trained. The best home for Bowie will be one where he is the only dog.

Meet Sully – Our Lovable 3-Year-Old Beagle!
Sully has come so far since joining foster care! Once isolated in his previous home, he’s now thriving in a loving family environment with kids and other dogs. He’s learned how to be part of a pack, and he’s absolutely blossomed.
What makes Sully special?
- Super affectionate—loves being petted (he’ll even paw at you for more!)
- Fully toilet-trained
- Smart as a whip
- Loves food, treats, and going on walks
- Gets along with small or similar-sized female dogs
âš A few quirks:
- Sully prefers female dogs over males
- Can get a little too excited and bark at dogs on walks
- Dog parks aren’t his thing—unless it’s a quiet time with small dogs
- Watch out—he’s a food container escape artist (classic Beagle behavior!)
The perfect home for Sully:
Sully would thrive as an only dog or with a small, calm female dog. He’d love a home with teenagers who’ll play ball with him, or a retired couple who enjoy daily walks, an active single looking for a loyal companion. He’s got a lot of energy and will need regular exercise!

Chewy
Name: Chewy
Age: 5 months
Breed: Pug X Poodle
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Chewy is an adorable Pug x Poodle mix who came from a backyard breeder in Sydney, along with many of his siblings and relatives. At just 5 months old, Chewy is a sweet and loving little boy who adores people. He enjoys playing with his foster brother, who is also an oodle mix, and has bonded wonderfully with the young boy and girl in his foster family. Chewy follows his foster parents around the house, showing just how much, he loves being close to his humans.
Chewy is a well-behaved pup who walks nicely on a leash and is working on perfecting his house-training skills—he’s well on his way! His ideal forever home would be with a family that isn’t away for long periods, as he thrives on companionship. He loves children, so a home with kids would be perfect, and having another dog is a must to give him confidence and a playmate. Daily walks are important to keep him happy and healthy.
Chewy has a soft, wispy coat that is low-maintenance—a trim now and then and an occasional bath will keep him looking his best. As a house dog, he needs constant access to the home through an open door or a doggie door. While he is crate-trained, he would be thrilled to sleep on someone’s bed all night long.
# Please Do Not apply for Chewy if your family is not completely suitable. If you don’t currently have another dog, please note that your application won’t receive a response.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Chewy. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into a new home.

Minnow
Name: Minnow
Age: 8 months
Breed: Pomeranian X Chihuahua
Sex: Female
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Central Coast
R251 000 066
Meet Minnow, the tiniest bundle of joy with the biggest heart! At just 4 kilos, she may be small, but her name—symbolizing happiness, freedom, and abundance—perfectly captures the spirit of this 8-month-old, playful little pup.
Minnow is a cuddle enthusiast. She loves nothing more than curling up in your arms, drifting off to sleep, or burrowing under a soft fleecy blanket when the air turns crisp. Her sweetness shines through in every affectionate nuzzle and gentle snooze by your side.
While she has a touch of shyness, Minnow blossoms alongside a canine companion. A lively, playful friend would be her perfect match—someone to chase around the garden, wrestle in a game of bitey face, or tug toys back and forth until the fun turns into an adorable nap.
Fully housetrained and clever as can be, Minnow confidently uses a dog door and knows when to step outside. She’s a dainty little grazer, preferring to nibble throughout the day, but her mornings wouldn’t be complete without a tasty treat!
True to her puppy spirit, she’s a tiny sprite, zipping through the house with boundless energy, playfully digging holes, presenting her latest bug discovery, and occasionally testing her chewing skills on whatever catches her eye (toy swapping is key!).
Minnow’s silky coat is a breeze to care for, needing just a light brush once or twice a week. She enjoys outings on a lead, cheerfully meeting new faces and trotting along with her signature charm.
# Please Do Not apply for Minnow if your family is not completely suitable. If you don’t currently have another dog, please note that your application won’t receive a response.

Heeereee's HUMPHREY! We're looking for a unicorn home for dear Humphrey. He's had a very rough trot, abandoned at a pound in a shocking state with a life-threatening hernia. It was touch and go for quite a while, but suddenly he is feeling so much better, taking joy in sunlight, food, other dogs and snuggles. He's very, very sweet.
What Humphrey needs.
A loving, quiet home to convalescence. In saying that, get him out! Take him on short walks, get him out in the sun, take him to cafes, he's really dog and human social and is a delight in the car.
Another small, friendly dog for company. He ADORES other dogs regardless of size. He happily trit-trotted into the groomers because there were other dogs in there and he was busting to make new friends.
Someone who will keep in touch. Humphrey will need an extensive dental. Under medical advice, we will probably wait another six months, but of course we will pay all bills.
He'll be fine if you work, he has no separation anxiety. We suggest teenage kids, he can't be bothered with youngsters.
Humphrey is a dear little thing, inquisitive, friendly, and social. He is brilliant in the car and is a lovely, gentle companion that needs and deserves to be loved. If you are interested in Humphrey and his story, come across to Denise at Paws Inc, following the Canberra Gang, on FB.

Pixel
Name: Pixel
Age: 15 weeks
Breed: Maltese mix
Sex: Female
Size: Tiny
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Meet Pixel, an adorable 15-week-old Maltese mix puppy who is about to start on the journey to her forever home. Despite a challenging start, her story is now one of hope and resilience. At 8 weeks of age, Pixel was purchased from a backyard breeder by an elderly woman in her 80s. Unfortunately, the woman suffered a heart attack shortly after her purchase which saw Pixel confined to a small pen for the next 7 weeks with no opportunity for walks, no time was spent playing with her new owner, no cuddles and no socialisation.
Pixel was in the midst of the most critical period of her young life, the first 16 weeks of a puppy's life is when they learn how to play, love and be loved, toilet trained, socialised with humans and other dogs etc. Instead, Pixel got zero attention after being taken from her Mum and siblings, such heartbreaking stuff for such a sweet little puppy.
Pixel thrives in a quiet, nurturing environment and is best suited to a home with adults or a couple. She is incredibly timid around new people and will require a patient family committed to helping her build confidence. Due to her shy nature, she is not ideal for busy outings such as school pick-ups, sporting events, or trips to cafés. While Pixel does not respond aggressively when frightened, she will cower, tremble, or occasionally have accidents when overwhelmed.
Pixel adores the company of other dogs and finds great comfort in their presence. She loves playing and cuddling with her foster sibling, often relying on them for reassurance and a sense of security. Having another friendly dog in the household is a must for Pixel, as they help her feel more confident and at ease.
She enjoys bursts of playful energy in the evenings and delights in chasing and jumping with her foster sibling. At night, Pixel sleeps peacefully in a crate but would love nothing more than to sleep next to her doggy companion.
Pixel recently experienced her first walk and is making steady progress. She feels more comfortable in quiet parks, as passing people or loud noises in residential areas still frighten her. She walks best when accompanied by her foster sibling and is gaining confidence with each outing.
Since joining her foster home, the primary focus has been on earning Pixel's trust. While toilet training and basic commands are in progress, Pixel's new family will need to continue this training journey. She is sensitive to loud noises and door knocks, often retreating to a safe space when startled.
What Pixel Needs:
-A quiet and patient household willing to support her emotional development.
-A friendly and understanding dog as a companion.
-Indoor access at all times (she does not shed).
-A family committed to continuing her basic training and socialisation.
Pixel is a gentle soul with a lot of love to give, especially with the right guidance and care. With time and patience, this special puppy will surely flourish into a confident and happy dog.
# Please Do Not apply for Pixel if your family is not completely suitable.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Pixel. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into a new home.

Kisses is a Chihuahua, she is a senior citizen around 8-10 years of age and is in foster care in Sydney. If Kisses is lucky enough to find a new home of her own, Denise at Paws will always be available to help out if needed. A home with someone who has experience with a blind dog would be perfect.
Meet Kisses, a little ray of sunshine wrapped in fur. Despite her blindness, Kisses sees the world in a way that's truly extraordinary. In her foster home, she has amazed everyone by finding her way around, conquering stairs, and even mastering the doggie door—all on her own! Her determination and cleverness are just part of what makes Kisses so special.
When it comes to companionship, Kisses shines brightest. She adores curling up on the couch, snuggling into the crook of your arm, and soaking up all the love you can give. Her favorite spot is right next to you, enjoying gentle head kisses and the warmth of your presence. She's a quiet soul who finds comfort in peaceful routines, like retreating to her crate for undisturbed meals and naps.
Kisses is incredibly well-behaved and house-trained. She doesn’t just adapt; she thrives. Her daily eye drops, which she takes without a fuss, are a testament to her calm and trusting nature. Though she hasn’t ventured out for walks yet, her foster mum believes she’d do well in quiet, tranquil surroundings.
What Kisses longs for now is a forever home. She dreams of a loving, caring person who understands her needs and cherishes her gentle spirit. Someone who can provide her daily eye care, regular vet visits, and, most importantly, a heart full of love. A calm household without noisy children or other dogs would be ideal, though she’s perfectly fine being left alone for a few hours when needed.
If you’re a couch potato or simply someone with a lot of love to give, Kisses would be overjoyed to share her life with you. She’ll repay your kindness with endless cuddles, her quiet companionship, and the occasional adorable paw on your arm as a reminder that she’s always there for you.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Minnow. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into a new home.

Through no fault of his own Levi has found himself needing a new foster to adopt home. His original foster carers dog has become very ill, and they need to spend lots of quality time with him. We wish them all the best with their very sick dog.
Levi is a 8kg bundle of love. He is fully toilet-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night in his own bed on the bedroom floor, and travels wonderfully in the car. Levi adores snuggling on the lounge and being close to his humans.
This sweet boy would do best in a home with another friendly dog to give him confidence when left alone. While he can be anxious, particularly on walks, he’s improving steadily and may benefit from a little extra training. Despite his shyness, Levi is excellent at cafes and waits patiently while you enjoy your coffee. He gets along well with other dogs but can sometimes be timid.
No children under 8 years of age.
Levi is suited to both long and short walks, making him a versatile companion ready to adapt to your lifestyle.

Kookie
Name: Kookie
Age: 6 years
Breed: Pomerarian mix
Sex: Male
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
If you love lively little ginger dogs, then meet Kookie, a 3.6kg bundle of Pomeranian mix!! This gorgeous little dog is a loving, snuggly little boy who absolutely dotes on his humans and loves life in general. He is extremely affectionate and low maintenance, and when bedtime calls, his great joy is to scramble under the blankets with you at night; daytime cuddles on the couch are another of his favourite things – and you had better be quick or else you will be getting insistent nose nudges if you aren’t.
Kookie would be best with a family where someone is home often as all dogs want and need company and attention. He does have some separation anxiety but as his confidence grows this has diminished markedly. Another small dogs (or dogs) would be good as most dogs prefer having their own kind around. He must have access to outside via a doggie door or similar as he is a young, active dog who loves running around and exploring the garden. He has shown both fear and delight at the attention of children, so if there are children in the household, they must be aware of this, learn how to interact with him and know how to be around small dogs. He does seek out “his” people for cuddles and affection.
He loves his walks, getting happy and excited when the lead comes out. He is somewhat reactive to other dogs while out walking, but since being in foster care has improved massively with expert, kind and consistent training. Kookie did not have much exposure to the outside world before coming into DAP Rescue so ongoing training is a must for his and his new family’s happiness and wellbeing. He is very intelligent, and his foster parent is very impressed by how quickly he learns new behaviours and adapts to new situations.
Kookie is on epilepsy medication for life with the cost being less than $10 per month. His medication is working perfectly, he takes it easily in a bit of cheese at breakfast and dinner and this condition has no effect on his quality of life. Epilepsy does seem to raise its head in Pomeranians. Since his medication has been adapted by a specialist, his very mild symptoms have virtually disappeared.
Kookie is currently residing in Normanhurst and is much loved by his foster parent who will be very sad to see him go but knows that we will find the best home for him. Kookie is currently living with three other little dogs as well as the occasional short-term visitor. He is quite unfazed. He has zero food aggression sharing his eating space with the other dogs.
Kookie is truly such a delightful little dog who exudes love and happiness. He is a great favourite with his groomer Emma whom he visits regularly to keep his beautiful coat knot free and comfortable. In between grooms, bushing him is so enjoyable and he loves it too.

Lulu
Name: Lulu
Age: 3 years
Breed: Pomeranian x Chihuahua
Sex: Female
Size: Small
Adoption fee: $600
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Lulu is an absolute sweetheart with a gorgeous little face. She’s all Pomeranian pizzaz and Chihuahua cheekiness with none of the attitude. She settled in and became one of the family instantly. She’s a happy, quiet little soul with a waggy tail and a constant smile. You’d never known she’s had a rough couple of months after losing her leg. Extremely affectionate and the epitome of low maintenance, she loves a cuddle and a belly scratch. She’s been well trained and has perfect manners. Not a single toileting accident and so polite at mealtimes. She loves a treat!
Lulu would be best with a family where someone is home more often than not, she loves company and affection and would be very sad home alone. Another small dog (or dogs) in the home please - Lulu loves to play. She must have access to outside via a doggie door or similar as she is a young, busy dog who loves chasing a ball. She loves to follow her foster family around the house and is very happy in the car joining in with her people and doggy friends.
Despite her missing limb, Lulu loves a short walk and a good sniff. At 5kgs she’s light to carry up/downstairs. She’s off her meds now and apart from an occasional bit of phantom limb licking looks to have healed completely after the amputation and doesn’t seem to be in any pain. Once her beautiful red fur grows back in, she’ll be just as beautiful outside as she is inside. She happily hops up and down the doggy stairs to the bed and chooses to jump on and off the sofa by herself.
Lulu is currently in Neutral Bay and is much loved by her foster family who will miss her dearly but know she’s a little social butterfly who will steal her new family’s hearts immediately. She appears to have been well loved and cared for until her accident and doesn’t show any signs of abuse.
Lulu is currently living with two children and three other little dogs as well as short-term visitors. She’s curious and keen to get in the mix, often initiating play. She’d be best with gentle children who will respect her space and occasional lack of balance when she’s excited.

Celine

Adoption fee: $450
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: Yes
Interstate adoption: NSW and ACT Only
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Celine was rescued from Campbeltown Pound in Sydney some time ago. She came into the pound with her daughter Gracie – both dogs were in horrific condition, and it was obvious to anyone that they had been used for breeding and looked to have had many, many litters! Both Gracie and Celine have required various surgeries and medication to bring them back to good health and are now enjoying a good life with their foster carers.
Celine is a very sweet dog, she has a beautiful personality with her humans, is very obedient and loves the dog she is living with. She goes out on walks around the neighbourhood and has been to the beach a few times and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We believe that the best home for Celine will be as an only dog, she is a bit of a couch potato these days and does enjoy laying in her bed in the company of her human or toddling around the garden enjoying the cool breeze blowing in her face.
Celine is very much a house dog and must always have access inside, she does love children so a home with kids would also be nice for her. She is on the quieter side so a home with a retired couple would also be a nice option for her.
* Please remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Celine. Home checks are done for all our dogs going into foster care or a new home.

Milton is a lively Maltese x Shih Tzu who is around 15months of age, he has a contagious zest for life, as seen on his adorable face. His mission in life is to ensure every couch is sat on and every hand is occupied patting his head. Snuggles and cuddles are the name of the game for him.
He’s a high-energy young dog who has proven to be a quick learner. Since moving to his foster home, he has gained confidence due to the kindness shown to him, something we believe he didn't have in his previous home. Milton has learned crucial recall and reliable toilet training. He can be a little scared by other dogs while on a lead (although improving!), but off-lead in appropriate spaces, he’s confident, well-mannered, and plays very well with other dogs.
Milton can be nervous around loud noises and rapid movements, but he’s proven to be a brave boy and continues to conquer his fears. He thrives in a loving environment where he can receive plenty of attention and affection. Milton enjoys playing with toys and loves to be involved in whatever his humans are doing. He’s a loyal companion who will bring joy and laughter to his new family. Milton loves going out on walks with his foster dog companion and enjoys being an inside dog with access via a doggie door 24/7. We would like to see Milton with a doggie friend in his new home, one who will play with him and keep him company if his pawrents go out to work during the day.

Meet Billy, a super friendly and affectionate 18-month-old ( 7.4 kgs) cavoodle who is sadly in need of a new home after his mum fell ill and could no longer care for him.
Billy is a sweet, gentle, and playful boy who gets along well with both people and dogs. He plays gently and especially enjoys the company of other young, kind-hearted pups. His best friend is his 10-month-old, 3.8kg housemate—who is definitely the boss! He loves visiting the dog park, where he has a blast romping around with small dogs.
Although Billy is still adjusting to the recent changes in his life, he’s steadily gaining confidence and forming connections with those who give him time to warm up. With a patient and caring owner—plus an understanding canine friend or two—Billy will continue to blossom.
Care & Routine:
- Regular brushing and professional grooming/clipping every 6–8 weeks.
- A varied diet including quality kibble, chicken, eggs, and vegetables (carrot, sweet potato, peas, etc.).
- Sleeps inside through the night in his dog snuggle bed, always needing indoor access via a doggie door or open door.

Polar -- On trial
Name: Polar
Age: 4 years
Breed: Groodle
Sex: Female
Size: Large
Adoption fee: $1000
Cat friendly: NA
Another dog in the home: YES
Interstate adoption: Only available within NSW
Location: Sydney
R251 000 066
Polar is a beautiful Groodle looking for her forever home. She comes from an environment (puppy farm) where she wasn’t accustomed to living in a house, but thanks to her foster family’s kindness, she has blossomed into a happy, affectionate companion.
When Polar first arrived, everything was new to her—couches, kitchens, even televisions! She wasn’t housetrained, but she has made remarkable progress and continues to adapt well. With gentle training, she has revealed her sweet and loving personality.
Now, after nearly two months in foster care, Polar has truly embraced her new life. She loves to run and play, and her joyful spirit shines through every day.
What Polar Needs in Her Forever Home:
- A Canine Friend: Polar finds comfort in the presence of other dogs, having adored her two Pug buddies in foster care.
- A Social Life: She loves meeting people and other dogs on her daily walks. While she hasn’t had much interaction with young children, she has been friendly with those she has met, so a home with children over 12 years old should be fine.
- Continued Gentle Training: Polar has thrived with positive, force-free training and needs a patient family who will continue supporting her progress.
- An Affectionate Household: She loves being around people and craves affection, hugs, and companionship. A home where someone is present most of the time would suit her best. Polar must have access to her home at all times via a doggie door or open door, this includes when her new pawrents are out and about without her.
- Daily Exercise: Polar enjoys visits to the dog park, running, walking, and playing fetch. Her ideal family should be committed to keeping her active and engaged.
- Indoor Access: She has adjusted beautifully to living indoors and has learned to toilet outside. She may need continued guidance in a new environment to reinforce good habits.

Polar is a delightful, affectionate dog who has come such a long way in her journey. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion, she just might be the perfect addition to your family!
