DOGS AVAILABLE 

Summary and pic Kane

Kane is not continuing in the Seeing Eye Dog training program as he doesn’t have the necessary temperament for the role.  He is a high energy dog and doesn’t settle easily in various settings.

Kane is a young dog that likes human attention.   He enjoys being near people, particularly within the home environment.  He will need to be monitored to ensure he does not attempt jump on furniture and possibly steal objects resembling toys.    

Kane was raised in a household with two adults and teenage children.  He is a very active, excitable lad and at times vocal.   He will need a full-range of his favourite chew toys (nylon bones/kongs) to assist him in settling.  Play activities are best focussed in the backyard to avoid zoomies within the home.   He will require regular walks in familiar areas and play sessions in a generous sized yard to help satisfy his need to burn-off energy. 

Kane walks nicely with a k9 bridle fitted.  There is a definite magnetism about Kane, a true character but he will require appropriate care and management. 

He would be suitable to someone who preferably works from home and enjoys spending time with an active dog.

Due to Kane’s active nature we would not encourage families with young children to apply.

If you think you can provide Kane with his perfect forever home then please apply.

Kane is available from Marrochydore, QLD.  Kane's applicant will need to be based in QLD or willing to travel to QLD and pay for the cost of his transportation to their home state.

Glenda summary and pic

Glenda has chosen pet life as she simply finds it too difficult not to engage with other dogs when she is meant to be focussing on her training walks.

Her sweet and easy-going nature will make her a really lovely pet.

Glenda grew up on a rural property with an adult couple, where she shared her home with two pet dogs. Her upbringing has shaped her into a relaxed and well-behaved companion.

Sleeping Arrangements:
Glenda is crate-trained and sleeps soundly in her crate overnight. During the day, she's happy spending a couple of hours in her crate, enjoying some quiet time.

Home Environment:
Glenda thrives in a relaxed household with a moderate activity level and noise level. She appreciates having the freedom to come and go through a dog door, allowing her to explore her surroundings at her own pace.

Toy Enthusiast:
Glenda loves her toys! Whether she's playing on her own or racing around with other dogs, she enjoys the company of her favorite toys. While she may not engage in interactive play with humans, her playful spirit shines through in her interactions with other pups.

Socialization and Attachment:
Glenda has made significant progress in forming bonds with her humans, particularly with her primary caregiver. Although she may have been initially independent as a pup, she now seeks companionship and affection from her loved ones. While she may prefer the company of other dogs, she's learning to appreciate human attention and affection.

Strengths:
Glenda's relaxed demeanor and almost perfect home behavior make her a joy to have around. She responds well to gentle guidance and is quick to learn new commands. Plus, her willingness to please ensures a harmonious living environment.

Challenges:
While Glenda may prefer the company of other dogs, she's gradually learning to form stronger bonds with humans. Loose leash walking and checking in with her handler are areas where she's improving with patience and training.

Favorite Thing About Glenda:

Glenda's easygoing nature and her ability to effortlessly blend into any home environment make her a beloved companion. Whether she's quietly lounging by your side or playing with her toys, she brings a sense of calm and joy to the household.

Glenda is available from Kensington, Victoria.
