About Cody
Cody is a 5-month-old puppy with a fun-loving, energetic personality. He's full of life and always ready for playtime, making him a great companion for an active household that can keep up with his enthusiasm.
As a young puppy, Cody is still learning about the world and will need ongoing training, guidance, and patience to help him grow into a well-mannered adult dog. Consistent routines and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping him succeed.
Cody has shown some selectiveness with other dogs while at the shelter, preferring dogs his size. If you already have a dog at home, we recommend bringing them along for a meet and greet to ensure they're a good match.

When he's not enjoying cuddles and pats with his favourite people, Diego loves to show off his playful side and have fun with his toys. He enjoys both relaxing and playtime, making him a well-rounded companion who still has lots of life and love to give.
Whilst at the shelter, Diego has been selective with other dogs and tends to match their energy levels. Because of this, we recommend that if you already have another dog at home, you bring them along for a meet and greet to ensure they are a good match.

About Freckles

With a bit of patience and love, Freckles will reward you with plenty of cuddles and companionship, making him a truly special addition to the right home.
About Jethro
Jethro gets very excited for walks and will happily bark and "talk" to you when he's ready to head out. He absolutely loves attention, pats, and playtime, especially fetch - his favourite game in the world! He's a big toy lover and could play for hours if allowed.
This handsome boy is strong, energetic, and doesn't quite realise his own size, so he would benefit from continued lead training and an experienced large-dog owner. Scheduled downtime and structure will also help him learn to settle when he becomes overexcited.
While Jethro is generally okay around other dogs, he can become vocal and overstimulated, so he would be best suited as the only dog in the home for the time being. Due to his strength and enthusiasm, a home without young children would also be ideal.
Overall, Jethro is a silly, affectionate boy looking for an active home that can give him guidance, training, and lots of love.

She is the kind of cat who will seek out attention, leaning in for cuddles and soaking up every bit of love she's given. Kris would thrive in a home where she isn't left alone too often and can enjoy regular companionship. If you're looking for a cat who will return your affection and enjoy sharing space with you, Kris will make a wonderful, devoted companion.
Kris would prefer to be the only cat in the home so she can soak up all the attention for herself.

About Rocky
Meet Rocky, a sweet and lovable boy who's ready to find his forever home. He already knows his basic commands and is eager to keep learning, especially when treats and praise are involved.
Rocky can get quite excited and sometimes forget just how big he is, so he would be best suited to a family with older children who can comfortably handle his enthusiasm. He has a friendly nature and, while at the shelter, has done well with other dogs. If you already have a dog at home, we always recommend arranging a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along.
Rocky isn't suited to living with cats, so a cat-free home is a must. He will also need a secure yard where he can safely burn off energy, along with plenty of daily stimulation and exercise to keep him happy and well-balanced.
If you're looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will bring energy and love into your home, Rocky could be the perfect fit.
Rocky is already desexed, so he can leave the shelter with you
