Green Paws Animal Sanctuary

Green Paws Animal Sanctuary Animal Rescue & Home based Boarding/ Daycare

📍Southern Highlands & Sydney

https://greenpawscentre.weeblysite.com/boarding-centre

We have two sanctuaries located in Blackett (Sydney) and Berrima (Southern Highlands). Both locations have a number of animals that have been rescued from various situations and are now permanent residents. We are not a shelter and we do not use cages or kennels. We work with a small group of volunteers who foster kittens/cats, livestock, bunnies, puppies/dogs and birds until they are healthy and

ready for their forever homes. We work closely with a few local pounds by taking in long term residents and animals struggling to cope in a pound environment and placing them in loving foster homes. A large number of our rescue animals have had an unknown past. Their age, breed and history may not be correct. We base all our information off of the previous owners papers/ information or if microchipped, the microchip information. We have all our animals checked by the professionals at one of our vet partners. We couldn’t do what we do without the help of the incredible veterinarians and staff at the below practices:
Rossmore Veterinary Hospital
Southern Highlands Vet

If we are at capacity and cannot accept any new surrenders we can place your animal on a waiting list or offer our assisted rehoming program. Waiting lists can take weeks to months to get through but our assisted rehoming program can be done instantly. We post the animal to our social media platforms and have interested families contact you directly. The animal must be desexed and microchipped. Feel free to message us on Facebook or email us if you have any enquires. We ask that you please be patient while waiting for a response as we are a very small team of volunteers, although you can rest assured that we are working hard to get back to you and will respond as soon as we can.

4 gorgeous Geese are looking for their forever home!

✨ 2 Embden Geese (pair)

These beautiful birds would love a property with plenty of space to roam, access to fresh water and a family who appreciates all the personality and charm that Geese bring.

They can be rehomed as pairs or together to the right home.

Name: Banjo
Impound #: 8839
M/C #: 900164001251463
Colour: Black & Tan
S*x: Male
Breed: Kelpie x
D.O.B: 27/06/2016
Date In Shelter: 24/04/2026

Hi, I’m Banjo! I’m a sweet, gentle boy with a calm nature and a playful spark that still shines through every day. My favourite things in the world are slow, relaxing strolls where I can take in all the sights and smells, followed by long cozy naps somewhere warm and comfortable. I’m friendly with the people I meet and love being around my family, quietly keeping you company and soaking up affection. I have a mellow personality, but I still enjoy little moments of fun and curiosity that make life exciting.

I’m searching for a loving forever home with a confident owner or family who understands dogs and can help me continue to feel safe, secure, and loved. Because of my nature and needs, I would do best in a home without children under 12 years of age. I’m also not suited to living with small animals, as I may find them a bit too intriguing.

I do have some arthritis, but at this stage the vets have not recommended any pain management treatment. My new family should simply be mindful that I enjoy a gentler pace of life with comfortable places to rest and moderate exercise to keep me happy and moving well.

What I can promise in return is endless loyalty, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m the kind of dog who will happily curl up beside you after a nice walk, keep you company throughout the day, and make even the quietest moments feel special. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted, easy-going companion to share life with, I could be the perfect match for you.

URGENT REHOMING NEEDED!!

Name: Busta
Age: 10 months
Breed: Staffy
Location: Sydney

Busta is the most beautiful loving man who is craving a home that has the time to give him attention! Busta is a sweet young man who needs someone who loves to have their dog with them and enjoys walks and cuddles!

Busta is young so needs someone who loves guidance but just wants to please! He can sit, come and knows his name and just needs these reinforced and he will be an incredible boy!
This beautiful boy needs to be kept busy and would benefit from stimulation and daily attention! He gets very excited when you first get home and just needs some gentle reminders to calm down and then he is fine.

Busta is in need of a new home urgently. He is living in a small area down the side of the house because due to uncontrolled circumstances the family is just unable to give him the time he needs and he is getting sad!

Likes - walks, food, attention and CUDDLESSSSSS 🥰
Dislikes - being bored
Cats - untested
Dogs - from what we have observed yes - slow introductions are always recommended
Kids - is young and excited so would not leave him alone with young children as he will forget his strength and knock them over - but with time would be perfect
Lead - pulls a little but is a quick learner

If you think you have the space for Busta in your home please contact us.

Miss Penny is available for adoption 🐾

Age - 11 months
S*x - Female
Breed - Dachshund x
Location - Sydney or The Southern Highlands

Penny is a beautiful, fun loving girl who’s ready to find her forever family and start her next big adventure! She came into our care from the pound and since then has been showing us just how smart she is.

She’s great with other dogs but will need slow introductions as she can get a little scared at first. Once she feels safe, her playful personality really shines through. Penny absolutely adores people and kids, loves chasing a ball and enjoys getting out for walks. She’s got plenty of energy for fun, but she’s just as happy curling up for a nap and a cuddle after a big day.

She’s food driven (which makes training a dream!), knows her name, comes when called (unless her nose leads her on a little side quest) and can sit and wait, though sometimes her excitement gets the better of her.

Penny truly is a gorgeous family dog with so much love to give. She’s just waiting for the right home to call her own 💕

Penny is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and flea/tick/worm treated.

Ryder is looking for his forever family! 🐾

Age - 2
S*x - Male
Breed - Border Collie
Location - Southern Highlands or Sydney

This guy is the ultimate package! He’s dog friendly, cat friendly, kid friendly, great recall, sweet with chickens and a massive cuddle bug. He’s been hanging out at our Berrima Sanctuary and has been an absolute delight.

Ryder loves to swim and loves a good game of fetch. He loves running around with other dogs but also doesn’t mind if he’s the only dog in his new home. He’s a very easy going guy. He previously lived with kids so he isn’t phased by a toddler meltdown or a baby crying. He also lived with 5 cats so doesn’t mind sharing his new home with some furry friends.

Since being at our Berrima Sanctuary he has met a number of our free range chickens and couldn’t care less about them. He’s shown us how great he is off leash and comes when you call him. He LOVES to cuddle up with us on the couch and will thrive in a home that lets him be involved with family adventures. He’s honestly such a gentleman and is one of a kind!

He was more of an outdoor dog in his last home so he did mark once or twice inside when he first arrived but after a quick correction and being taken straight outside, he hasn’t done it again. He picks things up quick!

Ryder is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and up to date with flea/tick/worming.

UPDATE: Adopted 💚💚💚

Dawn is looking for her forever family 🌻

Age - 3
S*x - Female
Breed - German Shepherd
Location - Sydney or The Southern Highlands

Dawn was rescued from the pound, coming from a background of breeding. Since coming into care, she’s slowly discovering what love, safety and freedom feels like. Her beautiful personality is shining through more every single day. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs, enjoys a good game of tug of war and is learning what it means to just be a happy, carefree dog. She already knows how to sit (with a little encouragement) and will happily offer you her paw for a shake any chance she gets, she truly just wants to please you.

She is incredible with kids! She can get a little excited around babies at first but settles quickly and she’s not fazed by noise or chaos (she even loves jumping on the trampoline with the kids!). Dawn is a big, affectionate girl who adores couch cuddles and being close to her people. She sleeps beautifully in her crate overnight but would very happily curl up beside you if given the chance. She’s an oversized lap dog with so much love to give. Dawn is embracing her second chance at life with a big heart and a playful, puppy like spirit as she continues to grow in confidence and trust.

- Dog friendly: Loves other dogs!
- Kid friendly: Amazing, gentle and tolerant
- Cat friendly: Unsure, barks and would likely chase (training needed)
- Walks well on leash: Pulls, will need ongoing training
- Toilet trained: Yes
- Obedience trained: Sits (with encouragement), shakes, learning recall

Dawn is vaccinated, desexed, microchipped/registered and flea/tick/worm treated.
