Boy

BOY, 9 year old male Dingo x — Boy is a Dingo x one of many Dingo dogs and their offspring living in the Byron area for many years living along side a residential area. He is a special need dog that was rescued from the Tallows Beach area at Byron Bay. He was born in the bush and spent the first two years as a free wild dog. He was regularly seen on the beach and played with pet dogs but no-one could get near him. Sadly he got ill from a wound infection and the residents called ARRG to help capture him. After several weeks we managed to feed him food that had sedatives in it and caught him. Boy received urgent vet treatment and was desexed and came into care. Boy has been in foster care for over 6 years and lives with his carer. Boy is a wise and gentle creature. He is the most gentle dog and has never shown any aggression to people or animals, in fact all dogs love him. The problem is he is still shy of people other than his carers who may have to move soon. Boy is restrained at all times except when he goes on his long walks and he is so well behaved on the lead. For the rest of the time he is on the longest chain and never creates any problems, he cannot be off this chain unless he is in a dog proof enclosed area as he wants to run free. ARRG has a dream of building a centre where Boy would have a special small enclosure where he could run free again with other dogs to timid to rehouse and stay in care with ARRG for life.If you would like to help Boy you could make a donation to help us fund this enclosure for him. Make donations for Boy as 'For Boy's enclosure'. THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF BOY.

Fleur

FLEUR, 9 year old female Corgi x Cattle — Fleur is a very pretty special needs girl, she is small and has a tan and white fleck medium length coat. Fleur was an abuse case and was rescued by ARRG when she was only months old. Sadly Fleur never gained confidence with many people and is still timid and shy around some people. She is happy with her carer's family and is very loving and playful with them and other pets and is a great little watch dog but may never be happy in a home with lots of visitors. Ideally she would need a special home with a mature family with a secure dog proof area who would give her lots of love and attention and time to adjust and in return she would be a great companion. Fleur lives on a quiet property where she has lots of long walks with her carer and she is a well behaved and very loving girl.

Ruby

Ruby's a ten year old Rottweiler who is very gentle natured and sweet. She loves cuddles and snuggling at your feet. She likes to sunbathe on warm days and curl up by the fireplace on chilly days.
She's not an overly active dog and prefers to sit by her owners side. She likes the company of other dogs. With her laid back personality she'd have no problem settling in to a new routine. She's a quiet girl who would probably feel taken aback with boisterious, loud children but would be fine with calm children.


Her carers name is Joanne, mob number: 0404747820

Shep

ADOPTED !


German Shepherd - 8 Years - Male Desexed - *Shep*

Shep is an extremely well mannered boy who has received obedience training - so he is very responsive to commands.

He may be 8 but he is still active and will enjoy a daily walk.

Shep is fine with other dogs, whilst in foster care he has been exercised with small and large breeds and he is not fussed by them.   He would be suited to being an only dog or would accept a companion as long as the companion was not dominant and not boisterous.

He is a very friendly boy who is looking for a loving home for his last few years (Shepherds can live to 14 but average age is 12).

Shep would suit an over 50's couple who have experience with large dogs that want a hassle free companion to share their days with.

Shep is currently in foster care in Mandalong.   He has been around his foster carers children with no issue.  As he is a senior citizen his adoption fee is $125
