JACK ~ CATTLE DOG X KELPIE ~ 4YO ~ MALE ~$400

This beautiful boy is Jack.
He is a 4 year old cattle dog x Kelpie and is searching for his forever people!
He is a fun playful, affectionate big guy and all he wants is a best friend.
Jack has been bounced around from a few homes so we are looking for someone dedicated to furthering his training.
While he has been in care he has been working on his good behaviour but is reactive towards other dogs on walks and if he can see any walking past his home.
He’s the type of working dog who when listening listens very well, but when he wants to be distracted or is worked up over something then it can be hard to get his focus.

The main issues Jack has shown with us would be his barking issues, which again, are a working progress. He currently resides in a pen which I don’t think sits all that well with him, so he will benefit from someone with a decent sized yard and time to spend with him in it.

He has previously pulled people over with his strength on lead, he’s a stocky fella, but we’ve managed to achieve loose lead walking with him so with work from his new owners this will be the result you’ll see also. As I mentioned earlier he is quite receptive to training and work, he enjoys a challenge (like all working breeds). So training Jack is a fairly easy process it will just take persistence and patience.

He isn’t social with other dogs, this was one of the reasons he was rehomed (twice!).
We have been socialising him in his foster home and he’s been getting better but still has a ways to go with dog interactions. So at this stage a one dog home with be best suited for Jack. He can be slightly stand offish in the initial meetings of new people so make sure to take it slow with that, like all cattle dogs he’s a little bit pushy. So he requires assertive but fair leader to guide him through the trails and tribulations of the big wide world.

Jack is also known to be excited when meeting people and can jump up so no children in the home.

Jack is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

MIMMIE - 5YO - DSH - FEMALE - $200

Hey, my name’s Mimmie! Who says females can’t pull off a tuxedo? I like to think that I look darn good in it. My previous owners couldn’t take me along with them when they moved so they left me in a pound. I lived there for slightly more than a year until GAR took me in. I was hesitant at first, but now I know that it was the best day ever! I can say that I’ve settled into domestic life really well. I’m a curious cat and I’ll explore your house in no time.

I love zooming around my foster mum’s house. I’m quite an independent girl as I do know how to entertain myself while my foster mum goes off to work. My hobbies include playing soccer with my toy mouse/ a scrunched up paper ball, napping on the couch/ under a blanket and spying on people through the windows.

I’d like to go to a home without dogs. I get along fine with other cats and older kids. Although I’m not keen on being picked up, I love to sit near or on my foster mum’s lap while she’s chilling. I purr a lot and have a really unique “meow”. I love to knead my favourite fleece blanket or you if you happen to wear a fleece jumper. I also like to playfully nip my humans sometimes, but I’d never bite them.

I’ve a deformed lower jaw and that makes me drool a little sometimes. Guess that makes me even more unique. I’m on a dry food diet only and I love it! I’m fully litter trained.

Mimi is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worming treatments.

MAXIMUS ~ MALE DMH ~ 3YO ~ MALE ~$200

Hello! My name is Maximus, Maxi for short! I’m a pretty shy boy but once I know I can get cuddles from you I’m all yours. My foster parents think I’d be a good companion cat, as I love to simply be in your presence. I’m not very athletic, but I do enjoy lounging in the sun; and if you’re on the move… you know I’m on the move chasing your tail!

Dinnertime is my favourite time of the day! I love, love, LOVE food and will try and steal just about anything that you have to eat too. I currently live with another male cat, but I don’t think he fancies me too much. He’s much too playful for my likes and always tries to jump on top of me! However, I think I would be okay with another cat of a similar nature to me.

I’m still a little jumpy at new noises and people, so my foster fam thinks I should be kept as an inside cat for now. But I wouldn’t decline a cat run if it were on offer!

Maxi is desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.
