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.

Bingo is a total sweetheart who loves people, enjoys walks, and never says no to a game of fetch! He is an energetic, curious and affectionate boy. He is dog friendly, kid friendly, toilet trained and knows his basic commands.

A wonderful initiative by Liverpool City Council. If your a resident, there really is NO EXCUSE to have an undesexed cat. Please take advantage of it.

‼️ URGENT HOMES OR FOSTER CARERS NEEDED ‼️
We’ve been contacted about four beautiful cats and one lovely dog who urgently need new homes or foster carers so we can bring them safely into our care.

Location - Sydney or The Southern Highlands

All animals are desexed,microchipped and flea/ worm treated. Please read their bios and reach out if you can offer a forever home or a foster home until adoption.

🐶 EDDIE: 9yo Border Collie x Coolie x Aussie Shepherd. Eddie is a beautiful, loyal boy who just wants to be by your side. He’s great with kids, dogs and cats but not with chickens. He’d thrive in a calm, one on one home where he can be someone’s best mate.

POPPY: Turning 5 in September
A sweet, gentle and independent indoor cat. Not overly cuddly, but loves sleeping on your bed and is easy to groom, bathe, and trim nails. A low maintenance companion with lots of love to give.

KEVIN: 3 years old in October
A stunning and affectionate boy who loves human company. Kevin is an indoor only cat who’s calm, well behaved, and good with other cats. He was rescued off the road with his sister Poppy, they’re great mates and could go to the same home.

ABBEY & CHARLIE: Female siblings
Born in care after their pregnant mum was rescued.
• Abbey prefers her space and isn’t a lap cat, but she’s content and easy to care for.
• Charlie is the more affectionate of the two, though she may hide from strangers at first. Both would do best in quiet homes with patient carers.

If you can offer a forever home or a foster home, please get in touch or fill out an application on our website:

🌸 Missy needs a foster 🌸

Location - Southern Highlands or Sydney

This beautiful girl is Missy, a sweet Border Collie who’s turning 7 in October. She’s spent her life bringing puppies into the world, and now it’s finally her turn to be loved and cared for like she truly deserves.

When her breeding days came to an end, Missy was put at risk, thankfully she’s safe now!

Missy is gentle, affectionate, and gets along beautifully with other animals. She’s great with adults and just needs a little patience around young kids, as she’s still finding her confidence around them.

Message us if you would like to foster Missy!d

We recently celebrated a very special birthday for one of our volunteers! 🎉
It was a beautiful day full of sunshine, laughter, and happy animals, including our boarding dogs and a very sweet boarding lamb.

The incredible captured some amazing moments, and they perfectly show what we’re all about, treating every animal like family 💚

The doggos had an absolute ball (and so did Bobby the lamb!) 😂

UPDATE: ADOPTED 💚

Remember the dogs we rescued after their owners abandoned them in a backyard? Pixie was one of them and she’s finally ready for her forever home 🥰

Location - Southern Highlands or Sydney
Breed - Pug
Age - 4 years
S*x - Female

Pixie is an absolute gem. She’s sweet, gentle, and full of personality. She loves to cuddle, follows her humans around the house, and is just a joy to be around. She was lucky enough to land in a foster home with one of our incredible long term volunteers Marie. Marie, with the help of Pax (ex Green Paws pound rescue) and Patch, have given Pixie a calm space to decompress and show her true colours 💚

She’s fantastic with other dogs, great with cats, and wonderful around kids. She’s crate trained overnight, well mannered in a home environment and has already mastered the doggy door for toilet time. She’s had the odd little accident here and there, but she’s learnt fast and doing so well now.

To be expected she can get a little protective over her food if the other dogs are around, but we assume it’s because she’s always had to compete for food. Lucky her foster brothers don’t mind and she’s now learnt that her bowl is hers and everyone gets their own food and treats.

Pixie is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea, tick and worm treatments. Now all she needs is a family to call her own.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Pixie might be the one for you! We would love to see Pixie get as much interest as the Pomeranians who she previously lived with 🤞🏼

This sweet, 13 year girl needs out of the pound and into a loving home 💔

Roxy is friendly, gentle, great with other dogs, and adores human company. All she’s asking for is a warm bed, a calm home, and someone to love her forever. Aside from mild arthritis, she’s in great health and full of love to give.

We’re looking for a foster home, ideally someone open to foster to adopt, so this lovely girl doesn’t have to move around anymore. She deserves to spend her golden years in comfort, surrounded by kindness.

Please reach out if you can give this old girl a soft place to land.

✨ Ready for Adoption! ✨
Our three tiny Pomeranian puppies are officially ready to find their forever homes! 💛

Location - Southern Highlands or Sydney

*First photo from left to right - Atlas, Luna and Artemis*

These sweet pups came into our care in an absolutely heartbreaking condition, covered in fleas and needing urgent vet care. But thanks to lots of love, treatment, and support from our amazing community, they’ve bounced back beautifully and are now happy, healthy, and full of sass!

🐾 2 boys, 1 girl
🐾 10 weeks old
🐾 Sweet, playful, and full of personality
🐾 Great with dogs, cats and kids

Artemis - Male, confident little man who loves to play with his brother. Second smallest, with very little legs.
991003003274754

Atlas - Male, very confident and always the first to approach people. Completely white with one blue eye and one brown eye.
991003003274740

Luna - Female, very sweet and the shy one. She’s always exploring on her own while the boys are playing together. She’s the smallest of the puppies.
991003003274741

They’re still tiny (and we mean tiny), so we’re looking for calm, loving homes that will keep them safe and spoiled.

Vaccinated, microchipped, flea/worm treated. A desexing contract will need to be signed to bring them back at 6 months for desexing.

If you’re interested in adopting one of these gorgeous little fluffballs, please fill out an application form:

Thank you to everyone who’s helped these babies on their journey 💛
