Hart
Meet Hart, a nearly 4-year-old Beagle with a heart full of love and affection. This sweet girl is housetrained and content whether she’s indoors or outdoors, making her a flexible companion in any environment. Hart loves her walks, but like most Beagles, she is all about following scents, which can make her a bit of a leash-puller. She is reasonably well-socialised with humans and other dogs, though she may be confused when encountering dominant dogs. Because of this, her new household must be committed to her ongoing training. Hart finds cats and small pets far too interesting so a home without is a must. Hart has a bit of a watchdog instinct and will alert you if someone is nearby. Hart thrives on company and prefers to have people around for most of the day, though she can manage periods of being left alone. She would likely adapt well to various living situations, whether it’s with a family with older children, someone working from home, or even retirees. A companion dog with a gentle nature could be a great match for her, but daily outings for mental and physical stimulation will be necessary. This affectionate Beagle adores human interaction, enjoying cuddles, pats, and the positive reinforcement that comes with good behavior. Given the nature of her breed, an absolutely secure, escape-proof yard is a must. Hart is fit, healthy, and ready to bring joy to her new home. She is a true gem, and the rewards of welcoming her into your life are immeasurable if you’re willing to provide a loving home and consistent management of her manners. If you think Hart might be the perfect match for you, please reach out via email to arrange a meeting. Hart’s adoption fee is $500. She has been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for fleas and worms. She is in foster care in Newcastle NSW.

His wounds have now healed, though his fur is still growing back in patches. He is a remarkably trusting and gentle boy, full of energy and life, and ready to share his love with a new family. Cooper’s past has not dampened his enthusiasm. He is brimming with curiosity, always ready to play and explore.

Mia
The Maremma is very independent but devoted to their family. They will not abdicate pack leadership but may allow you to be equal. Always smiling they make a good companion as well as a working dog if you are happy to have a ‘gentle giant’ occasionally throwing its weight around. They are also wary of people they do not know, so do not expect them to be enthusiastic with visitors. Courtesy of Pedigree ©2024 Mars or Affiliates Still Interested? Then read on about Mia! Hey everyone, I’m Mia and I’m on the hunt for my forever home and boy I’m going to be popular! I’m only young but I have mastered going to the toilet outside, going through the doggy door as well as sit and waiting patiently for my food. I love my food, so apparently that is really helping me do lots of other things that my foster mum wants me to learn. Something about setting me up for life? I don’t jump up much, so not going on the couch or on the bed is ok by me. I sit on a mat outside the kitchen so I don’t get tripped over when they are preparing my yummy food. I might be small for my age but I am still growing. I did not get the best care before coming into DRN. So far, I am 51cm tall and 16.5kgs. I absolutely LOVE cuddles, I will bury my head in your lap when you are sitting and I will roll and flop to the floor without a care in the world, lapping up the attention. Guess what! I have a toy box and will pick my toys to play with. I haven’t mastered putting them back and I don’t think I will. I play well with my foster brothers but sometimes they get tired and I go to my crate to sleep. I love my crate it’s a happy place toys and treats. I can stay in there quietly all night long. Don’t I sound awesome? BUT I guess I should tell you some other things that you should know. Although I have not been around many other pets, the chickens are interesting but there are other things to sniff in the paddock unless one runs past me and I want a quick play, I don’t get too far as something else grabs my attention. Oh yeah, I hear things…Things that no one else can hear, even my foster brothers, I need to tell someone, so I bark, until I find something else to do. I hope you have good neighbours, he he he. Although I look like a polar bear and soooo soft and Floofy, I do need regular brushing and a wash, especially after I play in the water or mud. I just love that stuff, my foster mum says a clean freak should not apply for me. I’m not sure what that means? I also need a job to keep me busy, all I want is to look after someone by being by their side or keeping an eye on other pets or animals for you. A big yard is a must and at this stage I prefer to sleep inside but that may change as I get older or it gets warmer. I can be left alone when everyone goes out. Sometimes, I’m in my crate, but other times I’m just outside, my foster carers do a quick run around to pack away things I might find interesting like plastic plant pots or shoes. As long as you don’t mind me aerating your lawn, we could be a perfect match. What do you say? Mia’s adoption fee is $1000. She has been desexed, treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped. She is in foster care in Port Stephens area, NSW.

Ronnie
Hello! My name is Ronnie, and I am a 1-year-old Cavoodle on the lookout for my forever home. While I might seem a bit timid and standoffish at first, I promise that once you get to know me, you’ll find I’m a loving and loyal companion. My foster parents describe me as an old soul. But don’t get me wrong—I can get the full-body wiggles and a case of the zoomies when I’m excited! Most of the time, though, I just like to sit back, observe, and take in the world around me. I’m still young and eager to learn. My toilet training is coming along well; I respond to the code word “potty” most of the time if taken out to the grass at regular intervals. I’ve had the occasional accident indoors, so a doggy door in my new home will help me continue mastering this skill. In the past four weeks, I’ve learned to sit on demand and, being quite food motivated, I’ll keep learning new tricks with someone committed to my training. I love sinking my teeth into a long-lasting tasty treat or playing fetch in the backyard. New experiences can be a bit overwhelming for me, so I need someone patient who can work at my pace and gradually show me the big wide world. I’m not a fan of car trips, my harness or my lead, so my foster mum has been taking me out in a puppy pram to help me adjust and get outdoors. I can be quite nervous when visitors come over, and I may bark and hide until I know it’s safe to come out. With some reassurance, I’m learning to take it all in stride and will continue to adapt well with ongoing training, time, and patience. It might take me 3 to 6 months to settle into my new home properly, so it needs to be a perfect fit for my needs. At night, I prefer to sleep in a room with my humans and fur friends. If allowed, I’ll happily snuggle into the human bed, but I can also settle in a cosy bed nearby if that’s the preferred option. I’m dog-friendly and need a confident canine companion (up to 18 kg) to show me the ropes. I currently live with a labradoodle and enjoy his company very much. I’ve also gone to doggy daycare a couple of times and had an absolute blast. While I haven’t met any cats or pocket pets yet, I’m open to the idea—as long as they’re willing to give me a chance. My foster parents tell me I’m the most handsome guy. Although I have a mild underbite, the vet has given me a full bill of health. My coat is non-shedding, which means I need regular brushing and grooming every 6-8 weeks to stay comfortable and look my best, so please factor this into your budget. I’d prefer a human who is possibly retired or works from home a few days per week, but I’m okay being left by myself if I have a furry friend to keep me company. I’m not a fan of loud noises or sudden movements, so a calm environment without young children would be best. In my ideal home, patience and understanding are key. It’ll take some time and effort from your side to truly connect with me, but trust me, it’ll be worth it. Ideally, my adoptive family will be based in the Newcastle area so we can have a few play dates to support my transition. Summary: • Ruby-colored male Cavoodle, weighing 11kg • Needs a quiet home with experienced loving dog owners • Desexed, vaccinated, flea and worm treated • Committed to continuing toilet training • Needs a secure yard and small dog companion • Suitable for families with children over 10 • Located in the Newcastle area preferred for a gradual adoption • Not available for interstate adoption To register your interest in adopting Ronnie you can fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt PLEASE NOTE: When applying for our dogs and puppies, please ensure to list the name of the dog you wish to adopt.

Cheryl should be fine with calm cat savvy dogs after proper slow introductions. Cheryl gets along with other cats but tends to sit on her own most of the time.
Katniss
Katniss has been in care for a while now patiently waiting for her fur-ever home. Unfortunately black cats are the lest likely to get adopted. We don’t know why. Especially with Katniss’ beautiful nature.
Katniss is a total sweetheart. She is a sweet and playful girl who will often tries to encourage her grumpy older cat housemate to play with her, sometime successful, most times not!
She may be a little quiet and shy at first, but after she gets to know you, she will shower you with love and you will soon find that she loves a good old chat. When she’s relaxed, she enjoys attention and a tummy scratch, but only on her terms.
She can be adopted into a home as an only cat, or a home with other cats. She would best suit a quiet home with adults. She hasn’t met kids, but has met teens. She hasn’t met dogs, but with a slow and gentle introduction she should be fine with both kids & dogs.
