Rescue Shelters - Featured Dogs

Dogs Across Australia links to many of the 'No Kill' Rescue Shelters operating throughout Australia. The shelters we link to list mainly toy and small dogs. Please contact us via our website if you wish to inquire about listing your shelter.

Dogs adopted from the Rescue Shelters should come to you desexed, vaccinated, heart worm tested (where appropriate) and wormed. Many of these dogs have been living in family situations with foster carers and are 'house trained' and people and dog sociable. This is general information only. See disclaimer.

These are just some of the t o y  and  s m a l l  dogs available for adoption from the Rescue Shelters. Visit their websites to see all  the dogs needing homes. Contact the shelters directly during their advertised business hours if you wish to inquire about adoption. 


SPONSORSHIP: If you can't own a pet, perhaps you would like to sponsor one of these lovely SHELTER dogs? Contact the shelter/s directly if you can assist by offering a donation towards the upkeep of a particular dog.



Adopt a Rescue Dog 'Buster'

 

A real little sweetie, Buster (Tenterfield Terrier)  is friendly and gentle to all.  He loves children and is friendly to dogs to cats.  He is cheerful but not boisterous - he would suit a family with children, or an elderly person. He would be a great choice for a novice dog owner as he is so easy to live with. Buster has basic obedience training, is house-trained with polite indoor manners, and he walks nicely on lead. He sleeps quietly through the night indoors, can use a doggy door and is not a yapper. He's very affectionate and loves to curl up on the couch behind you, or in your lap.

Desexed, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped. Contact  Kate on 0418249234 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it      Adopt A Rescue Dog

 

PAWS 'Prince Arthur'

PAWS 'Smudge'

 

Smudge, an Lhasa Apso X, is a happy, lovable, soft and good natured boy who gets along with everyone, including small children and other dogs. Smudge has a puppy-like nature about him. He is house trained and loves to be with his humans so a home where he would left alone for long periods of time is not suitable for this boy. Smudge loves to go walking and as he looks and smiles at everyone, people love the adoring look he gives them as he walks along as he is a very social boy. Smudge's new home should be filled with a family who are looking for a loving companion and another small dog in the family would be great company for Smudge if his owners are working people.  Smudge is a house dog and has a high maintenance coat that will require regular grooming .Desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, heartworm tested and with NSW Local Council lifetime reg.

Chihuahua Rescue Vic. 'Missy' &'Percy'

 

 Missy and Percy are looking for a home together. Missy is a rare "blue" Chihuahua cross, very small dog, and is very obedient. She is spotlessly toilet trained and likes to go for daily walks. She walks beautifully - no pulling etc. Has spent the last four months with a young family and has learnt to walk the children to school each morning, then pick them up each afternoon (always on a harness!) She has been speyed, microchipped, immunized and wormed,  and we estimate her age to be about 7 to 8 years. Missy and Percy had one owner for the first few years of their lives but unfortunately this elderly lady passed away. Both Percy and Missy were fretting for their owner for a little while. Their new Family bought them out of their sadness and have given them a new lease on life. They are good with older children. They must be placed together.  Chihuahua Rescue Victoria.

 

PAWS 'Charlie' & 'Gypsy'

 

Charlie & Gypsy, Male and Female Shih Tzu X Maltese,  were surrendered to the Pound as their owner was going to have a baby. They would love a home together as they are devoted to each other.

Charlie and Gypsy will enjoy a stroll to the park, a ride in the car or just chilling out on the couch at home. They have high maintenance coats that will require regular grooming.Desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, NSW Local Council lifetime reg. Not for adoption outside NSW.
