Nala

7-year-old Staffy cross

Hey guys, my name’s Nala, and I’m looking for my forever home!

Apparently, my breed and my age mean my chances of adoption are quite low, but the team here at GAAR are giving me all the love and attention while we patiently wait for my forever home. I was originally adopted through GAAR when I was younger, but after some issues with the other dog in the home, my guardians knew it’d be best to rehome me to keep everyone (including myself) safe.

I haven’t had much socialisation outside of the dog that I previously lived with, but during my assessments here on the Farm, I was able to reach a co-existence with calm, respectful dogs. However, I didn’t really appreciate it when the young’uns start doing zoomies, so I definitely prefer my own company!

I may be 7, but I am still a very spritely girl. I love doing zoomies around the yard and playing tug and fetch (still working on the part where I bring back the ball, though). I loooooove getting attention and I’ll be a great companion pet in an only-animal home!

I have had some foundational training with Take the Lead and I love to work! I’m such a clever girl, and I’m so eager to please my humans!

Previous adoption trials said I can get a little stressed when I’m left home alone, so I would love an owner that is willing to crate train me and keep me safe when I’m home alone!

Adoption fee: $350.00 includes desexing, yearly vaccination, transferred registered microchip, up to date parasite control, and on-going behavioural support through Take the Lead Canine Services.

Coco

5 year old male Kelpie cross

Coco has recently completed an extensive 5-week Stay & Learn package with our training company, Take the Lead Canine Services, to prepare him to be rehomed. Coco is not dog-social and after his guardian sadly passed away, Coco was unable to be taken in by any of the family members as they already had dogs of their own, therefore they selflessly invested in some extensive training for him to give him the best chance of finding a new, loving home.

During his training program, our team worked to address his reactivity, build his leash skills, and generally create him a calmer mindset. He progressed so well throughout his training he has come so far from his first day at the Farm.

Coco’s ideal home would be one where he is the only pet in the home. He is great with people, but simply doesn’t appreciate the company of other dogs or animals, therefore a home where he can lap up all the attention would be perfect. He would benefit from guardians that will continue to implement the training we have established with him here on the Farm.

Adoption fee: $650.00 includes desexing, yearly vaccination, transferred registered microchip, up to date parasite control, and on-going behavioural support through Take the Lead Canine Services.

Moxxi

4-year-old female Dogue de Bordeaux

My name is Moxxi, but you can call me queen!

I’m the last Dogue de Bordeaux left from the breeder surrenders earlier in the year. I was actually one of the first to be adopted, but after 3 months in my new home with another dog, it was clear that I’d prefer to be the only dog in the home. I love humans and attention, and I’m not a fan of sharing that with another dog.

Outside of the home, I can calmly co-exist with other dogs, but I’d still prefer my own company and my humans. I just don’t really care about other dogs, and I would rather spend my time lapping up attention from the humans!

My previous adopters were sad to bring me back, but they knew it was the best for everyone. This is how they described me to the team at GAAR when I came back: “Moxxi is… a hilarious dope! She has a big smile, loves a boop and a squish and will give you kisses and cuddles for a lifetime. She just wants love.”

I walk well on the leash, and I am great at the vet. My previous guardians put a lot of work into teaching me basic foundational skills and desensitising me to grooming, too.

I will make a great companion pet and want nothing more than to share my love with a family of my own! I haven’t really been around small people before, so kids aged 10+ would be best for me!

Chilli

2-year-old male Australian Shepherd

Hi everyone! My name’s Chilli and despite my name, I’m the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet!

I’m very dog social and spend my days on the Farm running amuck with the client dogs that come through Take the Lead. I’m also a member of the balanced pack here, meaning I get put to work conducting social assessments with other dogs! Despite being so social, I was originally surrendered as I didn’t really like sharing my home with the resident pug, so the team here at GAAR says I’ll be best suited to an only dog home. I don’t mind though, that just means I get all the attention from the humans!

I’m a very smart boy (duh, I’m an Aussie!) and I LOVE to play ball! I would love a home that will meet my physical and mental needs through exercise and training. I love to work, and I love to please, so training me is a breeze (hey, that rhymes!).

I haven’t really been around the little humans, so I’ll only be rehomed with respectful children aged 10+.

I have so much love to give and will make an excellent addition to someone’s home… could it be yours?
