Meet Nala - ON TRIAL

Breed: English Staffy
Age: 6 years
S*x: Female

Desexing: Not yet desexed – but we will assist with the cost (mandatory for adoption)

​Nala is a gentle, friendly, and social girl with a heart full of love. A caring family member rescued her after a tragic incident, but sadly, the home’s resident female dog has not accepted her and has attacked her. Nala is being kept separated at all times, which is causing her significant stress.

​She’s great with kids (having lived with young children before), gentle and submissive with other dogs, and is currently playing well with a tiny 4-month-old pup. While she does pull a little on the lead, she just needs some basic training and time.

​What Nala Needs: a loving forever home, a secure, fully fenced yard (non-negotiable, and a person or family totally committed to her happiness and gentle guidance :)​​

⚠️ Nala’s situation is urgent — we have no space in our shelter and she cannot remain in her current home. Please help us find this beautiful girl the peaceful life she deserves.

A Heartfelt Goodbye to John

After four wonderful years, it’s time to say a big thank you and farewell to John, our dedicated caretaker at the shelter.

John’s contract has now come to an end, and in thoughtful discussion, we agreed that it would be more practical moving forward for a couple to take on the live-in caretaker role.

John has been an integral part of our journey—keeping the grounds beautiful, the buildings well maintained, and most importantly, caring deeply for the dogs and the sanctuary they call home.

As we grow into the next chapter, we are now seeking a reliable, dog-loving couple to live on-site and care for the property and animals with the same heart and commitment that John has shown.

If you are a couple and feel called to be part of something meaningful, please get in touch and fill out our caretaker application form. We’d love to hear from you.

With gratitude,

Age: 4 years
Gender: Female (Desexed)
Private Adoption | 💲 $500 Adoption Fee
Microchip: 953010004574864

Hazel is a gorgeous, affectionate girl looking for her forever home. She’s being surrendered through no fault of her own - her family simply can’t give her the time and energy she deserves.

Why you’ll love Hazel:
Super friendly & affectionate
Great with kids of all ages
Has lived with cats!
Loves playing ball, beach days & belly rubs

She’s a high-energy dog who needs daily exercise, playtime, and ongoing training. Hazel knows her basic commands but still pulls on the leash - she’ll thrive with someone patient and consistent.

⚠️ Her quirks:
Scared of storms (likes to retreat to her crate)
Not suitable for homes with livestock or chickens

NB: MUST HAVE 1.5m+ secure fencing – non-negotiable!

Hazel’s ideal home is active, loving, and secure, with someone who has the time and energy to give her the life she deserves.

✨ Meet Freya! ✨

This beautiful brindle Great Dane/Mastiff X is a gentle giant with a goofy heart. 💕

She’s 3 years old, desexed, 32kg, and loves other dogs (and even cats!). Freya can be a little shy at first as she hasn’t had much interaction in the past, but with patience and love, she’ll become the sweetest, most loyal companion.

She’d thrive in a home with another dog, a secure yard, and a family willing to give her the attention she’s been missing.

🐾 Could you be the one to give Freya the loving home she deserves?

🐾 Can You Foster? Byron Dog Rescue Needs You! 🐾

Currently have a number of people who are going into hospital for treatment and need their dogs being looked after for a short time!

We are urgently seeking foster carers to provide our rescue dogs with a safe and loving space - even short-term fosters make a huge difference!

Fostering helps dogs decompress from the shelter, build confidence, and have a better chance of finding their forever homes. We cover all essential costs—you just provide the care and love.

If you can open your heart and home, please call 0458 461 935 or send an email to [email protected] and we’ll send you an application form.

Even a few weeks can change a dog’s life. 💛
