Norton

Norton was a shy boy who found a weimaraner loving home to build his confidence.

Pebbles (now Pepper)

Darling Pebbles blossomed in foster care, going from strength to strength and growing in confidence. She went to a home with a weimaraner friend, as shown in the picture, where they can run each other ragged with gundog games.

Muffin

Muffin was a shy girl, especially when meeting new people. When she met her new owner for the first time, she warmed up instantly and sat on her lap - most unlike her! Muffin certainly picked her new mum.

Baz

Baz is an energetic and charismatic greyhound who loves people and other dogs! He managed to win over his foster family and become a foster failure.

Ciccio (now Charlie)

Ciccio is another young lad that managed to find a home with his foster family. He's a super-energetic young man who has found a home to keep his mind and body active.

Dolce

Poor Dolce came to us with a range of health problems. She found a loving and sedate home for her retirement with a huge backyard to explore.

Swish (now Willow)

Swish was the darling little girl in a litter of six. She was quick to win over her new mum, too. Swish is the sister of Jangle, Oomph, Clang, and Kerplunk.

Jangle (now Gretel)

Jangle was a big puppy and will be a big girl as she grows up! But very sweet, continuting to charm new people in her adoptive home. Jangle is the sister of Swish, Oomph, Clang, and Kerplunk.

Oomph (now Rigby)

Oomph was also a big puppy as well! He loves to play with other dogs, and went to a new home with two dogs as company. Oomph is the brother of Swish, Jangle, Clang and Kerplunk.

Bailee (now Ruby)

Bailee came to us from a country pound. She was a quirky girl who seemed to be confused about how to be a 'pet'! She learnt quickly, and found a new home with an understanding gentleman as a companion.

Marley

Marley was with us for quite a few weeks, but managed to secure himself the perfect family. Marley enjoys walks and cuddles on the couch.

Monty

Our funny looking Monty found a great home with a large akita crossbreed friend to play with. Monty loves to play, so this is perfect for him!

Anise

Anise was a lovely puppy, who seemed to have sense beyond her age. She found a great home on a large block of land.

Titan

Titan is certainly going to be kept busy in his new home, playing with the other dogs and the four cats!

Tiggy

Poor Tiggy came to us in poor condition, and took us some time to fix his medical and psychological problems. He found an understanding home that remarks, "I think he's better behaved than my existing dog." Job well done!

Casca (now Casper)

This fantastic puppy was so adaptable and trainable, and very nearly became a foster-failure himself. However, he did get adopted.

Ziggy

Ziggy is a ball of muscle! He found a home where he can be the soul companion of a bloke - I think what Ziggy was made to do!

Sandy (now Boo)

Sandy was advertised as a 'personal trainer', and found herself a home that can keep her little body busy! She gets to go for runs on a daily basis with her new mum. Great result for Sandy.

Peekaboo

Peek-A-Boo, a darling scruffy little dog with a terrier personality. She's found a terrier friend to spend her days with in her new home.

Celia

Celia came into care with her sister Calula, and quickly found a home with a friend of rescue.

Brock

Pocket rocket! We received Brock into care thinking he was about 12 weeks old, to find out he was actually a bit older, just a mini-dog! Brock had a versatile and adaptable temperament and found a great home that appreciates just how special he is.

Chloe

Chloe found a great home as a companion to a lady. She's perfect as a lap-warmer!

Bing (now Crosby)

Bing is the brother of Yahoo and Google.

Boof

Boof has found a committed home on the Yorke Peninsula.

Bandit

Our longest foster ever! Bandit was with us for 9 months until he found the perfect home. We'll miss you, Bandit.

Cooper

Cooper came all the way from Ballarat with his 'sister'. He very promptly fell in love with his new owner in a way that just makes you feel special.

Dear Kate's owner passed away, and she found herself in Broken Hill Pound. She was an exceptionally behaved older dog who now shares a house with visting cats.

Melait

Melait was in and out in a blink of an eye. She has found an exquisite country home to spend with a dog companion.

Bella was one of our long-termers, staying with us for 6 months waiting for her perfect home. A wait worth it after finding a lovely new home with retired company all day.

Jet

Jet was surrendered with his brother Mack, and managed to find a new playmate in kelpie Shelley. He's bound to have a ball with his new, speedy friend!

Finn

Finn was a bit of a complicated story - he was privately surrendered to us, but the Greyhound Adoption Program ended up taking over custody and finding him a new home. Finn has a lovely home with a whippet friend, and we are very pleased to have spent the time on him.

Honey

Honey is very special to us, and we are very happy she found a home so suitable to her needs. Honey is allergic to grass and has separation anxiety, so having a home without grass and with retired company was fantastic!

Mooch

Mooch arrived with extreme fear issues. She grew in confidence during our two months with us, and found a lovely home with 'Mo' the German Shepherd.

Rowdy

We fostered Rowdy through the greyhound adoption program (SA). He absolutely blossomed in foster care, and he was particularly difficult to see go to his new home. We think of him often.

Puzzle came to us from a country pound, and what a surprise she was! A great little dog that found herself a great new family.

Daisy

Daisy was a wise and no-nonesense kind of girl. She found a great home from people who had been waiting for a greyhound for a long time.

Blayre

Blayre was a special kind of long termer, and we are very grateful to Paws with Potential for the time and effort they took in rehabilitating Blayre to her new home. Blayre now lives happily in Whyalla.

Liquorice was a super-energetic young puppy, unbelievably the sister of laid-back Anise! She found her new home with a couple who promised daily beach walks.

Simba (now Spider)

Simba found a great new home that will work on building his confidence.

Google, or 'Googs' to her friends, stayed with us for a little longer until going to her new home in Whyalla. She is litter sister to Bing and Yahoo.

Saffron

Saffron came from Broken Hill Pound as a spritely young dog. She loves dogs and the dog park, and loves getting out and about.

Cindy

Cindy is an amazing little dog with the spark you would expect of any respectable terrier. We enjoyed having Cindy in care immensely and are so happy that she found herself such a wonderful family.

Penny

Penny came to us from Ballarat with her 'brother' Cooper. She has found a cocker spaniel loving couple where she is living a life of luxury.

My heart sings when I think of Maximus in his new family. He is just so contented in his new home that I smile every time I think of it. Maximus is a very lucky boy.

Klunk was one of Dulcie's babies, and he had the best little attitude! He's going to need it in his home with 4 kids and a cat. Good luck, Klunk!

Buddy (now Shadow)

Buddy was another charming young man, who has proudly found home with cats and a 10 year old child. I hear he sleeps on his kid's bed every night.

Harry won so many hearts in his short stay with us. He was an absolute joy to have, though briefly, and I am sure he is enriching the lives of his new human family.
