Dogs for Adoption

February 23, 2019

Tia is a 5-year-old Jack Russell X Chihuahua who has special needs and will need a dedicated owner who will be willing to engage a professional behaviourist to help manage her anxiety. Tia loves her Mum and is very selective about who she will let pat her. Tia has anxiety which presents as her being aggressive when people she doesn’t know approach her or her home. She will approach barking then back off then approach again. Tia is happy at home during work days and enjoys a daily walk. Tia loves car rides and if she could, would drive for days. When visitors come over, Tia self-settles with a raw hide chew on her day bed. When she is tired and waiting for her Mum to go to bed, she will burrow under a rug on her day bed. Tia is very scared of other dogs and children, so dog parks and playgrounds are a no-go zone and a home with no children or dogs is preferred. Tia owner is moving overseas for two years at the end of March and will be assisting in the transition of Tia into her new home. Paws & Claws Adoptions has had an …

Hello everyone, My name is Heiress! I’m energetic and always so happy to see you when you have been away (I’ll even do a little dance) I love to be held on my back like a baby and also love to be spoiled!Don’t let my name fool you, while I do enjoy your attention I am also quite content just being independent and will pamper and play by myself.I’m still very small and can still fit my pink jewel extra small collar, so perhaps I may be crossed with a smaller breed which makes me the perfect sleeping companion since I promise not to take up the whole bed. I’m very intelligent and loyal, and have been socialised with children,teenagers,adults/strangers, and even other dogs splendidly. I am the perfect puppy for training! I can already -come when called -sit -lay down/ go to bed -walk beside you off lead without running away I came to my foster families home with my sister Damsel . I love her very much and we are a team. Whether or not my sister gets adopted with me, I’m sure we will both find a home that will love us and give us a good …

Hello everyone, My name is Damsel! I’m extremely sweet and loyal… did I mention sweet!? I love to give kisses and can be gentle and calm when laying next to someone who loves me. I make the perfect lapdog due to my loving personality and do better when I’m near the family. I love attention and can sometimes get myself into tiny situations and act rather dramatic. Which inspired the name Damsel in distress HeHe. I’m still very small and can still fit my pink polka dot extra small collar, so perhaps I may be crossed with a smaller breed which makes me the perfect sleeping companion since I promise not to take up the whole bed (however I will require a spot to nuzzle my nose close to you before I finally puppy nap.) I’m very intelligent and loyal, and have been socialised with children,teenagers,adults/strangers, and even other dogs splendidly. I am the perfect puppy for training! I can already -come when called -sit -lay down/ go to bed -walk beside you off lead without running away I came to my foster families home with my sister Heiress .

My name is Milly. I am a playful Labrador x Kelpie. I am almost four years old and love going on walks and exploring outside. The beach, dog parks and open spaces are so much fun! I adore children and adults but sometimes jump up if I’m excited to see you. If you remind me to stop though, I will. I can sit and shake and most of the time, come when I’m called. I’ve been trained quite well really. I don’t even bark. I’ve been an outside dog for most of my life, but I love being inside. I have been living with my foster family in Aberfoyle Park – they have a puppy who I’ve proven to get along so well with (in fact, I’m almost like a Mum to her really). I’m lovely to all the other dogs I’ve met on my walks and adventures too. My foster Mum says I am as friendly as they come – my tail is always wagging! Did I mention I love pats and cuddles? I’ve lived with a cat before but the other day I saw one outside and really wanted to chase it. I think my new owner needs …

Meet Mishka Mishka is a 3 and a half year old husky x. She’s a large dog weighing in at 20kgs. As huskys usually are, she’s still very young at heart. She’s a happy dog as long as she’s with you. She has come from a home where she was an indoor dog and needs to go to a home where she can be indoors most of the time. She is quite behaved but a little untrained, so will benefit from a home where she can get ongoing training. She is a fast learner when treats are involved. Mishka gets along with dogs outside of the house but can be territorial with dogs at home so if she goes to a home with another dog it will have to be a slow introduction. She has briefly been around cats and could live with them with slow introduction. She does like to jump up on people so can’t go to a home with children under 12. Mishka comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea and worm treated. She is $400 to adopt and is located in Morphett Vale. If you would like to express your interest in Mishka, please fill in an application …

💙 MEET ZAYNE 💙 I am looking for my forever home Age: 4y 9m Sex: M Breed: Labrador Cross I get along well with known dogs, but I can be aggressive towards unknown dogs when I feel scared. I’m not sure if I like cats. I was around cats up until 10 weeks old when I first lived with Paws and Claws but that may have changed. I walk really well on lead and harness and will walk beside you on a loose lead. I know the commands: “sit” and “down”. I will sit and wait for my dinner until the command “go”. I travel really well in the car and have been on regular holidays. I love to roll on my back for belly rubs. I have been around young children. Although I may get a little excited to see them and jump on the odd occasion, I will get down when told. Because of this I am recommended for older children. I am a very loving and affectionate dog. I have spent a lot of time inside and sleep either inside or in the garage. I am house trained and can stay inside for prolonged periods of time. …
