| Cute and Cuddly: Morris Sex: Male Age (approx): 12-18months Breed: Shih Tzu x Maltese Size: Small Description: Morris is an adorable little fellow. He had not been looked after very well prior to his arrival. His coat was so matted that he could not see and he had an ear infection that is now under treatment. Morris has a happy, friendly, outgoing personality which means he gets on well with everyone. He loves a game with other dogs, is good with children and cats, and is house trained. Morris is an all round great little guy. Listed: 24 August 2004 Rehomed: 3 September 2004 | Happy go lucky: Sidney Sex: Male Age (approx):14 months Breed: Labrador Size: Medium/large (25kgs) Description: Sidney has all the character traits that make Labradors such a popular breed. His loyalty is unmatched. In the short time that I've had Sidney he has bonded as strongly as industrial strength super glue. He is always by my side and just delightful. Clever and eager to please, Sidney will learn what ever you teach him. Sidney hasn't had a lot of interaction with other dogs and can be a bit dominant at first, so it is essential that whoever takes him on is prepared to make the effort to socialize him with lots of other dogs. Sidney likes to chase the ball and is easy to walk. He is a real 'dog-lovers' dog who will make a great companion and lifelong friend. Listed: 16 August 2004 Adopted by Foster Carer: 9 September 2004 | ||

She is also very clever and already leads well and sits on command, her toilet training is coming along well too. A little lady who would love to have a friend to play with. She has been getting along with the foster carer's dogs and cat. Ruby is good with adults and children alike. Ruby's most ideal home would take her to puppy socialisation and obedience training, to give her the best start in life and help her mature into a well rounded girl.

She is very loyal and loving and needs a home where she will get lots of special quality time and be allowed inside. She is first to the car door to go for a drive and is great in the car. Midge is good on the lead and is also good to walk off-lead as she doesn't wander off and comes when called. She is toilet trained and lets you know when she needs to go out (and will also wee on command). Her favourite winter place is cuddled up in front of the fire. A gorgeous little dog who is obedient, is willing to please and has a heart ready to give some lovin!

| Gentle and affectionate : Dali Sex: Male Age (approx): 2 years Breed: Greyhound (unraced) Size: Large (36.8 kg) Description: Dali is Mr Personality - happy and confident, with the typically gentle greyhound nature. He adores a cuddle and will happily fall asleep whilst getting a scratch behind his ears. Dali is a friendly boy who gets on very well with other dogs. Greyhounds make wonderful pets - Dali is a delight and has been adopted by a wonderful family. Listed: 20 July 2004 Rehomed: 24 September 2004 | Cuddly gentleman: Stanley Sex: Male Age (approx): 2 years Breed: German Shepherd x Labrador Size: Medium large Description: What a sweet guy Stanley is. Polite and sensible, he is a real smoocher who gives proper hugs and lots of loving eye contact - Stan really knows how to make you feel special! He's perfectly happy lying at your feet and he is generally obedient - comes when called, doesn't bark unnecessarily, great on the lead. Stanley has excellent doggy social skills and gets on well with dogs of all sorts of temperaments - so he would make a good companion for a lonely dog. He is playful and energetic when the situation calls for it, though calm, sensible and well behaved in the home. He enjoys his walks and can be trusted to stay near and come when called, if you have him off lead. Stanley is tolerant and gentle with little kids and is an all-round nice guy.

| Patient and placid: Gus Sex: Male Age (approx): 2 years Breed: Spitz X Size: Large (around 30 Kilos) Description: Gus is simply gorgeous - a lamb in wolves clothing! He is a calm dog who gets on well with other dogs and enjoys human company. In our house Gus instantly became the dominant dog, but he did so without any sign of aggression, instead he seemed to immediately gain the respect of our other dogs. Gus is extremely patient and very gentle. He copes well with both small excitable dogs and bigger pushy dogs. Gus would make an excellent companion and provide a calming influence for a lively dog. Gus is a big boy who loves a cuddle and enjoys a daily walk. His long fluffy coat needs at least weekly brushing, but as this is something that he thoroughly enjoys it isn't a chore, rather a lovely time to bond with him. Gus is currently being taught basic obedience and, as a keen learner, is making good progress. Despite his size he no trouble in the house, though he does shed some hair. While not toilet trained when he first came to us, Gus quickly learned what was expected of him in this area. His generally calm nature means he is sensible and reliable indoors. He simply loves to lie on a rug and watch the world go by. While great with company, we think Gus would also cope well with being the sole dog in a household. With regular walks, some caring human company, a lovely spot in the sun and a vantage point where he could survey the neighbourhood, Gus would be a very happy boy. While his size means that he would probably not be suitable for a family with very small children, Gus's beautiful nature would make him an ideal family pet. Listed: 15 September 2004 Rehomed: 1 October 2004 | Obedient Gentleman: Flynn Sex: Male Age (approx): 5 years Breed: Kelpie Size: Medium Description: A polite, considerate and gentle dog, Flynn just wants someone special to share his life with. A previous owner has put some effort into training this boy with the result that Flynn is already well trained, and is very obedient, quiet, sensible and always well behaved. He is a thorough gentleman, he wouldn't dream of barking out of turn, jumping on guests, being pushy or demanding or pulling on the lead, and his standard greeting is simply to roll over. He's wonderful to walk off lead, staying relatively close and coming right back when called. Flynn likes to be really close to people, he'll lean up against you for a pat, or squeeze in behind you on the couch like an ergonomic cushion. He loves close physical contact, but he's also content to lie quietly on the floor at your feet or just keep you company as you work in the garden. Flynn gets on well with dogs and he respects cats but by far his greatest love is people. In fact he's probably the most devoted and loving dog I've ever fostered. He would be fine in a one dog household and would fit in well to a wide range of home situations, and is certainly gentle enough for very young kids. Flynn will appreciate a daily walk, and being a Kelpie, is quite capable of keeping up with you on a 5 km run - however he's just as happy lying around all day. Listed: 12 September 2004 Rehomed: 22 September 2004 | ||

| Patient, friendly and outgoing: Hero Sex: Male Age (approx): 15 weeks Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Size: Medium Description:Hero started out life with a poor diet which left his forelegs badly deformed from lack of calcium, then he was dumped and left to die. Following his rescue, and with several weeks of having his legs strapped, and an appropriate diet, Hero's legs are 100% cured. He is a stunning pup both physically and in temperament (though also quite a handful) and after being bombarded with offers to adopt Hero, we finally settled on one excellent home where he will be loved, appreciated and safe for the rest of his life. Taking dogs who are discarded like trash, and finding homes for them where they are adored and cared for, and give back just as much love in return, is what makes rescuing and fostering dogs so rewarding. Listed: 31 July 2004 Rehomed : 6 September 2004 | Gentle and active: Pluto Sex: Male Age (approx): 2 years Breed: cross breed Size: Medium Description:Pluto is such a softie. Even though he's had a hard life up till now, he hasn't lost his optimism or his sweet and gentle temperament. He's obviously a smart dog and though it appears he has had no formal training in the past, he is naturally obedient and responsive and well behaved. Pluto is submissive to dogs and people, but friendly rather than timid so he gets on well with all sorts of dogs, and loves to play. He's affectionate and loyal and a pleasure to take for a walk as he doesn't pull on the lead. Off lead he trots obediently at your heels, apart from the odd sniffing foray, from which he returns immediately when called. Pluto's a fit and active boy, but also calm and sensible. He's toilet trained and generally quiet. A great looking dog, Pluto will make a lovely pet. Listed: 15 September 2004 Rehomed: 2 October 2004 | ||

| Friendly and Cuddly: Murphy Sex: Male Age (approx): 18 months Breed: Maltese x Shih Tzu Size: Small Description: Murphy is a very happy, friendly little fellow having a quiet and gentle nature. He loves people of all ages, especially children. Murphy gets on well with cats and loves nothing more than to have a romp with the other dogs. He obeys basic commands like sit and loves to dance to get your attention. He also travels well in the car. Murphy would suit most family situations, young or older, where he would lots of love and attention. As Murphy has a longer coat, it will be necessary for him to be brushed regularly to ensure that his coat doesn't matt. Listed: 21 September 2004 Rehomed: 8 October 2004 | "The Dancer": Macca Sex: Male Age (approx): 2 years Breed: Chihuahua cross Size: Small (4 kg) Description: Don't be misled by his serious expression - Macca is a very happy chappy. It is just that his markings do look a bit like frown lines. If you like dancing, Macca is the perfect partner for you. He likes nothing better than to prance in front of you hoping that this will entice you to dance with him. He is a happy, friendly chap who just wants to be near you and loves to play. Macca has fitted in very well with my 6 other "little" dogs, both male and female. He has a wonderful temperament and a passive nature; loves the car and is happy to sit quietly and enjoy the ride till he gets to his destination. Macca can use a doggie door and loves to sit outside in the sun. Macca is great with kids and good with cats but would be best suited to a family with children over 5, since he is a little delicate due to the Chihuahua side of his family. Macca also needs to have a doggie companion about his own size. Listed: 16 September 2004 Rehomed: 15 October 2004 | ||

| Gorgeous Girl: Ebony Sex: Female Age (approx): 18 months Breed: Border Collie x Terrier Size: Medium 10 kgs) Description: Even though Ebony has had a rough road so far she's a happy friendly and beautiful girl inside and out. She's very keen to please, comes when called, is good with children and other dogs and is an absolute pleasure to have around. Ebby has a wonderful loving nature and will try hard to do what you ask of her. She's happy to go into her crate at night and sleep very soundly until you greet her in the morning! She's intelligent too so would really benefit from some obedience or agility training. She loves people and dogs alike. In no time at all Ebony connected with my other fosterdog Andy and they are now great playmates! She wants most of all to be part of a family that she can love and be loved and cared for in return. Ebby is a faithful companion and will make a trusting and devoted pet for her lucky new owner. Listed: 21 September 2004 Rehomed: 16 October 2004 | Rare gem: Carla Sex: Female Age: 15 weeks Breed: Blue Cattle dog Size: Medium (when adult) Description: What a find! Carla is such a lovely pup, already showing signs of having an outstanding adult temperament. She is playful and friendly, with enough self-confidence to make her relatively easy going and relaxed. Its clear Carla is highly intelligent, she learns what is expected of her very quickly and will need training, regular exercise and plenty of attention as she matures to ensure she develops into the top class pet she has the potential to be. Carla loves the rough and tumble of kids and other dogs, and would be happiest adopted into a family with a doggy playmate for her, and where she will be allowed in the house and included in every-day family activities. Listed: 9 October 2004 Rehomed: 15 October 2004 | ||

| A loving cutie: Jasper Sex: Male Age (approx): 8 to 10 months Breed: Maltese x Size: Small Description: Jasper is such an adorable little sweetie! A gentle and friendly fellow who loves to have a game. He gets on well with other dogs, cats and children. Jasper has led a very sheltered life before coming to ARF and did not even know how to walk up a step. He is quick to learn and his confidence has increased considerably. He will make a lovely family pet. As with all dogs with long fur, Jasper will need regular brushing and grooming to keep his coat in good shape. Listed: 1 October 2004 Rehomed: 15 October 2004 | Cheerful gentleman: Koola Sex: Male Age (approx): 10 years Breed: Jack Russell x Foxie Size: Small Description: Koola is a dear little gent with a cute, waggy tail and a cheerful disposition. He loves people, pats and cuddles and just wants to be close by. Koola just loves to do what you are doing whether it be in the garden, going for a walk or drive in the car and especially loves to sit on your lap while you watch TV. He is basically obedient and comes when called. Koola gets on well with other dogs and adores going for a walk on the lead. He is fit and in good health, both physically and emotionally. Koola is a great little dog who likes to give lots of attention, and that includes kids too! Koola makes visitors feel loved as he weaves his spell of cute cuddliness on them.

| Bright and affectionate: Indi Sex: Female Age (approx): 2 years Breed: Kelpie X Size: Medium (14 kgs) Description: Kelpie intelligence in a slightly smaller and less exuberant body. Indi is just desperate for someone to love. Though a bit timid at first, she will always look to me whenever we encounter a new situation, she is inquisitive and likes to see what's happening around the house. Less active than a typical working Kelpie she still needs her walk every day, but when it's time to relax at home she will be more than happy to lie by the heater and is small enough to curl up on your lap while you watch TV or read (this is by far her first preference). Though a mild mannered dog she makes a big effort to bark an alarm if something's not right around the house. Indi has settled in remarkably well and is a joy to have as part of the family. If you need a loving companion to fill a hole in your household please come and meet Indi Listed: 16 September 2004 Rehomed: 22 October 2004 | Diamond in the rough: Boyd Sex: Male Age (approx): 2 years Breed: German Shepherd X Size: Medium (21 kgs) Description: Boyd is a very loving, happy, friendly, active and intelligent boy. He loves nothing better than to be close to his family and lay at your feet with his head gently resting on your foot or to sit beside you so that you can stroke his face. He doesn't pull on the lead when walking, comes back when called and sits on command. He is good with other dogs and enjoys a game, so Boyd would love to be in a home with another playful dog to keep him company. Boyd's new family would ideally be able to give him lots of regular exercise and take him to dog obedience classes, to help him build on his "new found skills". A loyal, good-natured dog who with a bit of time and effort will be the most marvellous companion and lifelong friend. Listed: 18 September 2004 Rehomed : 22 October 2004 | ||

| Adorable and sedate: Coco Sex: Female Age (approx): 5 years Breed: Kelpie Size: Medium Description: A gentle and placid sort of dog, Coco is well behaved and loves a cuddle. She is fully house trained, ignores cats and is good with small children. Coco gets on just fine with dogs though she is not into rough doggy play. Her greatest love is people, so she would be fine in a one dog household. She would be a great pet for someone who just wants an easy-going companion round the house and she is docile enough for an elderly owner or a family with small children. Coco loves her walks and doesn't pull on the lead. She also loves wading around in water and going for drives in the car. Her new owner will need to commit to walking Coco regularly as she has a tendency to get a bit chubby. Coco is quiet, clean and sedate and is an adorable possum of a dog.
