	Adorable Eva Age: 10 years Breed: Foxy X Sex: Female Size: Small Description: Eva is a shy but affectionate little girl who loves to be with people. She gets on well with dogs of all sizes and is happy to curl up on the couch with the other dogs, but much prefers being with people. She is toilet trained and loves being inside with her family. She travels very well in the car whether the trip is short or long and loves going for a walk. Eva is an inquisitive little girl who checks out any open cupboard doors, follows us around to see what we are doing, and always finds a cozy place to snooze on a cold day. She is hoping for a quiet home with lots of cuddles as she has a lot of love to give. Eva has a soft short coat which needs only a weekly brush to keep it in condition. Please contact me if you would like to meet Eva. Eva is microchipped, desexed, C5 vaccinated, wormed, and available for $110 (incl GST). Would you like to find out more about Eva?

		Cuddly: Ralph Age: 6 years Breed: Bichon x Sex: Male Size: Small Description: Ralph is a lovely little dog, quite different to the little dog who came into care lacking confidence in people. Ralph has blossomed in care over the last few weeks and is now ready to go to a new home. He has a very loving nature and loves to have cuddles and to be where you are. Ralph shares his house with 4 other dogs and 2 cats (besides the people that is). He is a very smart little fellow. My own dogs know how to do tricks and he wanted to join in on the fun and he watched my dogs shaking hands. He came running up to me, sat and held his little paw in the air for me to shake to show that he could do it too. He also knows how to sit and wait. Ralph is good on lead and just adores playing ball. Ralph would best suit a home where he will be included in family activities. He likes gentle children, but it would be best if they were over 10 years old. He has low to moderate exercise requirements and is good on lead and in the car. As he has a non-shedding coat he will require regular brushing and clipping. Ralph is microchipped, desexed, C5 vaccinated, wormed, and available for $253 (incl GST).

	Lotsa Fun: BJ Sex: Male Age: Approx 5 years Breed: Dachshund or Jack Russell X Staffy (maybe??) Size: Small (on the larger side of small) Description: BJ is a very friendly little man who likes to be a part of his family. He loves feeling special and getting pats and cuddles from everyone. He gets on well with all the people and other dogs in his foster family. BJ enjoys going out for walks to explore the world and is quite good on lead. He has learned to sit on command and is very keen to please and show off how well he can sit for a treat or his dinner. BJ sleeps quietly overnight in the house. He is also more than happy to help you warm your chair during a spot of television watching. Although most of the time BJ is quiet and calm, he does still love to have a run and play with balls and toys, etc. He had a wonderful day out with a volunteer walker at the RSPCA Million Paws Walk and both BJ and his walker had a marvellous time. BJ is best suited to a home with a small townhouse/courtyard type situation, primarily concrete/pavers, with shade - and for his owner to take him out for a regular walk. He would also need to be allowed inside to be a part of the family. BJ would also make a great companion for another friendly dog. BJ is microchipped, desexed, C5 vaccinated and wormed and available for $253 (incl GST). If you think you might be right for BJ give me a call.
