Hi friends, it’s your new friend Blue here.

I am having a ball in my foster home but what I really dream about is a forever home of my own.

I thought I’d tell you about all the things I like and dislike to see if we can be besties, then I’ll start packing my bags to move in!

Likes

Being outside playing
Water - hose or shell pool I love it all!
Sniffing all the smells as much as possible
Playing with bugs, those Christmas beetles are fun
Soccer, I am pretty good if I do say so myself
Burying snacks so I can dig them up covered in dirt for later when I fancy a nibble
Gardening, always happy to help - Tufts of grass are fun to shake around and throw in the air and taking tomatoes off the plant to play with
Tennis balls. I love getting the covers off for a good rumble and chasing them, but I haven’t mastered the retrieve part of fetch yet
Cardboard boxes – ok I know it’s a cat thing, but I love to take them apart
Digging in my sandpit
Pinecones – apparently this is my odd little quirk, but I can make a game out of anything. Just look at the pile I have here!

Dislikes

Being cuddled too much – I don’t like to be sitting around hugging when there is fun to be had outside but we could work on that!

Blue is an adorable, fun busy little man who would thrive in a home with a playmate or as an only dog if he has plenty of enrichment, stimulation and is included in his families’ activities. He is happiest when he is at home so he will need someone to show him how much fun the outside world holds and how fun car rides can be.

Age – 8 months
Breed – Cattle X
Medical – fully vaccinated, flea treated, heart worm preventative, desexed
Foster to adopt fee - $595
Interstate adoption - No

Hi folks

We know you will all remember the Peppercorn litter, mumma Peppers litter of super cute babies who were born in the village.

We recently heard from Freddy’s family (formerly Mercury) and here’s a few words from them as we know our followers love to hear how the dogs are going in their new homes

Dear Village Tails team,

"We adopted Freddy (formerly Mercury) from the Peppercorn litter, and we couldn’t be more in love with him. This Sunday marks one year since we brought him home, and he recently celebrated his first birthday. It’s been such a joy watching him grow and change. He’s definitely developed his own unique personality and look. We’re constantly stopped on walks by people asking what breed he is, because he’s truly one of a kind. The reason for this email is to ask whether you’ve received any updates from the owners of Freddy’s siblings. We’d love to know how they’re doing and, if possible, connect with their families. It would be lovely to exchange photos or even arrange a little reunion. Thank you for all the work you do, and for supporting Freddy, his mum, and siblings. He’s brought so much joy into our lives".

So, if we have any other peppercorn parents reading the page we’d love to see some pics or if you wish to make connect with Freddy’s family you can msg the page so we can forward details.

You may remember seeing Alfie Peppercorn recently as his forever home didn’t work out through no fault of his own, but he was quickly adopted by a new family.

Show us those Peppercorns!

Our good girl Stella is dreaming of those recent sunny days when she got to have a cool down at the beach! As you can see, she had a ball!

If you think Stella could be your perfect beach buddy then she is currently hanging out at her foster home in Cooroibah, QLD waiting to meet you.

Stella is fully vetted, and her adoption fee is $595 and if you think this brindle beauty complete with her unique mismatched but perfect ears could be your forever dog, please drop us a line.

Go for launch! Our golden oldie Millie is ready to launch into your home and heart.

This gorgeous girl is going to make a fantastic companion. Whether you are away for a minute or an hour she is so happy to see her people when they return.

Name – Millie

S*x –Female

Breed – ACD

Age – 9 years

Colour – Red

Weight – 25.7kg

Desexed – Y

Vaccination status – Vaccinated, heart worm preventative, flea and tick treated

Medical – Has been chasing and biting her tail when she gets over excited which is currently having a bandage changed every couple of days. The E-collar has helped with this, but it may be a conversation regarding possible tail docking with her future vet

Location – Kedron, QLD

Interstate adoption – N

Adoption cost - $400

Millie is another of our seniors who found herself homeless after her owner passed away and there was no one to take care of her and 2 other senior dogs who were all living together. They spent time wandering the local area, neighbours tried to find family to help but there wasn’t anyone to step up. After finding themselves at the pound we knew we needed to give them their happy ever after, so we didn’t hesitate to book them their freedom ride to the village and into the most wonderful foster homes.

Millie’s likes:
Millie loves water so a shell pool would make her a very happy girl
Loves a morning brush (and this girl is a super low shedder)
Easy to bath
Loves to nap the day away and is a very relaxed girl
This low energy girl only needs a 30-minute walk
Loves children and people in general (the youngest she has met being 2 years old)
Completely house trained and has learnt to use the dog door
Will let you know when she is ready for pats and attention but will also let you know when she has had enough
Walks well a lead
Great in the car
Sleeps happily in the lounge under a fan by herself

Millies dislikes:
Millie does need slow introductions if there is another dog in the house as she can be initially a little unsure and it does take her time to warm up to doggie companions, but her foster carer found that wearing an E-collar for initial introductions has worked well. It did take several days but she adjusted to the resident dog in her foster home and is better suited to walks rather than the dog park.

Please drop us a line of you would like to meet Millie or any further information

Senior Saturday part 2! Meet our good boy Max

Name – Max

S*x –Male

Breed – ACD

Age – 10 years

Colour – Red

Weight – 31.8kg (a little more than it should be!)

Desexed – Y

Vaccination status – Vaccinated, heart worm preventative, flea and tick treated

Location – Kedron, QLD

Interstate adoption – N

Adoption cost - $400

Sadly, Max found himself homeless after his owner passed away and there was no one to take care of him and 2 other senior dogs who were all living together. They spent time wandering the local area, neighbours tried to find family to help but there wasn’t anyone to step up. After finding themselves at the pound we knew we needed to give them their happy ever after, so we didn’t hesitate to book them their freedom ride to the village and into the most wonderful foster homes.

If you are considering welcoming a golden oldie into your home, then Max is your man. He is an absolute sweetheart and a delight to have around the house. He had learnt to use the doggie door but will stick to you like Velcro if you are home, he is the most loyal boy! Max is fully house trained, but boys being boys, when he gets to his new home, he will do best to get straight outside to have a good snifferoo and mark his new territory.

He is a super mellow boy and gets along well with just about every dog, and can be seen cuddling with his foster sister Penny, loves every child and adult he has met. gazing at them with hopeful eyes that they may just give him a scratch behind the ears or throw the ball.

Although he absolutely loves playing with his ball and we mean loves! This is his only resource guarding so is only being allowed to play with them under supervision.

He does have an old injury on his elbow that has healed well and although doesn’t need surgery, he does only require approx. a 20min walk which he loves, making it a breeze as he walks so well on leash. Max doesn’t require an active home so would suit many homes but an older person so they can enjoy afternoons chilling out would be a dream for this super friendly boy. Max is happy to be left alone and will give you the best vocal greeting to celebrate your arrival home!

A note from his foster mum, “He is going to make someone the best companion dog ever!”

Adoption Ready!

Name – Maggie
S*x –Female
Breed – ACD X (possibly Smithfield because of her wiry coat)
Age – 10 years
Colour – Blue
Weight – 19.2kgs (the vet has advised that she could do to shed a couple of kgs so her forever family need to watch those snackies!)
Desexed – Y
Vaccination status – Vaccinated, heart worm preventative, flea and tick treated
Health – Maggie is deaf so her new family need to be mindful of this
Location – Carina, QLD
Interstate adoption – N
Adoption cost - $400

Sadly, Maggie found herself homeless after her owner passed away and there was no one to take care of her and 2 other senior dogs who were all living together. They spent time wandering the local area, neighbours tried to find family to help but there wasn’t anyone to step up. After finding themselves at the pound we knew we needed to give them their happy ever after, so we didn’t hesitate to book them their freedom ride.

A few words from Maggie’s foster mum:

All The Good Stuff
Maggie is a darling of a dog.
She sleeps through the night in our bedroom.
Sometimes I need to wake her up in the morning.
She does the most adorable full body stretches to wake herself up.
She’s a beautiful cuddler. Loves tummy rubs and massages.
She LOVES people, especially children.
Isn’t fearful of loud noises because she can’t hear them.
I think she can tune in to vibrations and knows when I get home.
She uses her nose to follow my scent when she can’t see me.
She knows the hand signal for come.
She is fully toilet trained. Knows how to use a doggy door.
Loves to walk and can do 2 walks a day. Anywhere up to 3 kms at a time.
She is great on the leash. Tends to walk from side to side so human needs to be watchful and not trip.
Loves her food.
Will occasionally chase a ball.
Loves to roll around on the grass.
Likes enrichment puzzle toys with food involved.
Loves to be brushed. Doesn’t lose much fur at all.
Can be left alone and she sleeps when by herself.

Things to be mindful of:
Maggie chases shadows. She can get into a real frenzy about this behaviour by jumping on what she thinks she sees and chasing after it.
She bites the wheels of the mower.
She needs to be redirected when the behaviour becomes repetitive.
She is not keen on dogs of any size. She can walk alongside a dog on lead.
She doesn’t like dogs coming up to her and will nip at their face.
Doesn’t like cats at all.
Her top and bottom incisors are worn down.

If you think Maggie could fit into your home, we would love to hear from you.

We can’t think of a better way to end a Monday other than sharing some great news with you all

We announced in last month’s newsletter, but for anyone who missed it, our Dane X girl Bonnie recently got adopted. She had waited so patiently for her perfect match to find her.

For any of our followers who aren’t familiar with Bonnie’s story, she arrived from a rural pound 6 months ago and needed surgery for her eyes. When she arrived in the Village, she was known as Eeyore and looked so very downtrodden, sad and unloved.

Once she had her eye surgery she almost instantly transformed before our eyes into a majestic beauty, and it was then we realised she was indeed a Dane mix.

Let’s wish Bonnie, affectionally known as Bon Bon by her previous carers all the best in her new home.

We also thank our foster families, especially for the dogs who do take longer to home, for opening their homes and hearts to give these dogs their happy every after. It really does take a village, and we couldn’t do it without you.

“What are you up to Bear?”

“Just waiting for the phone to ding that someone wants to meet me”

We can’t believe this little pocket rocket hasn’t been snapped up. He is the perfect mix of playful but loves his cuddles. There are never too many cuddles for Bear!

This sweet little man Bear is just thriving in foster care, enjoying feeling cherished whilst he learns some doggie etiquette ready for his forever family.

He is a smart cookie, sleeping in his crate at night and doing so well with his toilet training and basic training.

Bear is thought to be a cattle x mastiff, but as always, we never truly know. We do know he is a rescue which is the best breed.

Age – 5 months
S*x - Male
Health – vaccinated, flea treated, heartworm treated and his desex will be covered by the rescue at 6 months of age
Child friendly – Yes, he has been gentle with children he has lived with
Location – Shailer Park, QLD
Adoption fee - $595

If you’d like to know more about Bear, please send us a message as we would love to chat with you.

Calling all Staffy mix lovers!

The time has finally come to meet Jules gorgeous chubby puppies. She has done an amazing job given how worried we were when she first came into care, and what beautiful babies she has raised.

They are currently 7 weeks old so will be ready for their homes when they reach 8 weeks.

We are now accepting pre-adoption applications for meets and greets so if you are looking to add one of these stunners to your family please message and give us details about the home you can offer them and which one you are interested in. Don’t be afraid to sell yourself as the more details you provide the better!

Names/sex –
Baby – Male
Blue – Female
Bowie – Female

Spot – Male

Dog Friendly: Yes
Child Friendly: Yes - 6 years+ (due to puppies having those sharp teeth)
Cat Friendly: untested but being young with the correct introductions should not be an issue
Toilet Trained: In training
Age – 7 weeks

Medical notes
~ Desexed (to be covered by the rescue when they are 6 months of age)
~ Vaccinated (first vaccination with future to be covered by their forever families)
~ Microchipped
~ Wormed
~ Flea Treated
~ Heartworm Treated

Location – Belmont, QLD

Adoption fee - $695

Personality –
These are very typical, playful, mischievous puppies who have beautiful temperaments and personalities. They have so much love to offer and are going to grow into beautiful dogs. As with all puppies, we recommend training to ensure they grow into well balanced dogs.

They have been living with other adult dogs so have started their socialisation from an early age which will help them become well-mannered teenagers and adults.

As with all puppies, they are going to chew and cause the usual mayhem you can expect from a growing puppy, so we like to ensure future families know what to be prepared for especially if it is your first puppy.

They would like a family to include them in their everyday lifewith space to play and explore. A fur sibling to show them the ropes would be an advantage but not essential.

Blue is a little different from her siblings and has a very a gentle spirit and is incredibly cuddly and affectionate. She really is a heart stealer. She loves both people and dogs alike but is a little more reserved than her siblings. Whether she’s snuggled up beside you, quietly following your every move, or sitting at your feet watching the world go by, hercalm demeanour makes every moment better. Being a little more reserved we think she would need someone to be around more often.

Happy Friday folks!

We have introduced our special boy Blue to you once or twice (or maybe more!) but we really need your help to find his family. If you can give him a share it may just reach his people.

From surviving Parvo but losing his brother he really is a special but resilient little boy and is so deserving of his happy ever after.

Blue would love to be adopted to a family who have a friend for him to play with. Another great thing is that he happily spends time in the yard when his family aren’t home but due to his love of his people he would need to be allowed inside and be close to his people in the evening/overnight as he does bond easily and craves human companionship too.

If you think Blue could be the missing piece of your jigsaw, please drop us a line as we’d love to chat with you.

He is currently hanging out with his foster family in Rocklea, QLD
and his adoption fee is $595

Name: Blue
S*x: Male
Breed: Cattle X
Age: Approx. 8 months

Our beautiful Stella has been patiently waiting for her chance to be noticed so please give her a share, as it can make all the difference.

Stella oozes love and affection and is such a happy go lucky young lady. She thrives on human companionship and loves to be close to her people

Despite a tough start to life, she isn’t let that hold her back and is just a delight to be around. Stella is dog and cat friendly, although she can be enthusiastic with cats, so dog savvy cats recommended to let her know if she oversteps with excitement.

Stella is crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night. She is also toilet trained so is ready to settle in with her new family. She will benefit from further training, as she is still a puppy at heart but her love of food and enthusiasm to learn will make it a breeze.

Stella would fit into many households and would either be happy in a busy family or with an older couple.

Stella is fully vetted, and her adoption fee is $595 and if you think this brindle beauty complete with her unique mismatched but perfect ears could be your forever dog, please drop us a line. She is currently hanging out in her foster home in Cooroibah, QLD waiting to meet you.
