German Shepherd x Kelpie - female
Twyla is a beautiful and affectionate german shepherd x kelpie puppy who came into DCH care after being dumped with her 5 siblings in the bush and surrendered to a shelter. She was very scared at the shelter, constantly hiding under the bed. Under DCH where she is being cared for by a foster care family as the only dog in the household, she has learned to relax and know she is safe (she even smiles - see photo).
Twyla was initially skittish with new people (never aggressive) and dogs but through daily socialisation training, Twyla is now more relaxed when meeting new people and dogs. She is friendly and affectionate, always looking for her affection to be reciprocated. Twyla is calm with cats and kittens, never showing any sign of aggression. In fact, she is more likely to be bullied by cats and kittens.
Twyla is playful and loves dry puppy kibble. She is learning to go to the toilet outside, especially when she is taken outside for walks. She loves being inside with her hoomans but can stay outside. She does not bark (unless she hears another dog barking - then she will respond with a short series of barks).
Twyla walks well, not pulling on her lead. She will walk instep with you but will on occasion hide behind you if a big dog approaches. She loves her walks and rides in the car.
Twyla will suit a single, couple or family who will be patient with her as she learns to trust more and more. But once she trusts you, she will be your biggest fan for life. If you are looking for a sweet and affectionate puppy who only wants to be with her hooman family, then you need to meet Twyla.

Maltese - male
Simba was reluctantly surrendered from a loving family. He was on only dog.
Once arriving at his foster home, Simba explored the garden and settled in quickly. Simba was mainly an outdoor dog, however learnt to use the doggy door within a few minutes by watching a resident dog and now prefers to be an indoor dog. Simba is not suited to a cat or bird household.
The front door is usually open; where the resident dogs will run and bark at people walking past, Simba remains quiet and by your side, preferring a pat to a bark. He does not bark if next door's dog barks and runs up and down the other side of the fence.
Simba has a good appetite. He's not sure what snacks are as his automatic kibble feeder was left for him so graze during the day.
Simba loves to play and cuddle. He sleeps soundly beside his carer's bed and walks well on lead however is not particularly friendly to other dogs who he is not familiar with.
Simba has been Vet checked and the Vet was astounded at how lovely his teeth are.
***SIMBA HAS BEEN PLACED ON HOLD DUE TO NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS***
Should you like to meet this 7 years young fellow, please contact the carer by e-mail.
