🌟 Meet Max — The Sweetest Staffie Ever! 🐾

We can't speak highly enough about this beautiful boy. Handsome. Loyal. Gentle. Sweet. Happy. Max is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart and never lets go 💛
This 6-year-old brindle Staffie has the calm soul of an old friend and the affectionate nature of a true companion. Raised in a loving family with children, Max knows how to be part of a household — whether you're out adventuring or curled up on the couch.
🏡 Max is looking for a forever home where he’ll be cherished for the easy-going, dependable boy he is. He’d thrive with an active family or a solo human seeking a steady sidekick. He’s social, tolerant of younger pups, and currently enjoying foster life filled with walks and well-deserved cuddles.
💉 In tip-top health, Max is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on all preventatives. He’s ready to walk straight into your life — and your heart.
📖 Max’s story began in Darwin, and while life changed for his previous family, their love for him never did. Now, Max is ready for his next chapter — could it be with you?
📸 Just look at his adorable face and gentle gaze. Max is not just a dog — he’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of friend. He is the best! Any home would be extraordinarily lucky to snavel this boy!
👉 To apply to adopt Max, visit: https://www.sweetpeaanimalrescue.com.au/adoption
🤗 To meet Max, come along to Paws 4 an Hour - Thursdays 10:30 to 11:30 am at Sweet Pea Animal Rescue.

🌸 Foster Home Needed for Chanel 🌸

Meet Chanel — a 7-year-old Pomeranian X Toy Poodle with a heart as soft as her beautiful, fluffy coat. 💕

Reluctantly surrendered due to her owner's health, Chanel is a shy but incredibly sweet little soul who’s looking for a quiet, loving home where she won’t be left alone for long. She thrives on gentle company and calm surroundings.

We provide everything you need — food, bedding, bowls, and full health support — so you can focus on giving her the attention and comfort she deserves.

If you’re new to fostering, please complete our Foster Care Questionnaire: https://www.sweetpeaanimalrescue.com.au/animal-foster-form
And if you’re ready to open your heart and home to Chanel, please email us at [email protected] with your contact details.

Fostering truly saves lives — especially now, when our facilities are permanently full. Chanel is waiting, and needs your help to feel safe again.🐾

📸 Just look at that precious face below — she’s ready to love and be loved.

🌟 Meet Friday – Our Little Ray of Sunshine! 🌟
@ PAWS 4 AN HOUR on Thursday at Sweet Pea from 10:30-11:30!

This 18-month-old Puggle has officially stolen our hearts, and now she’s ready to steal yours, too.💘

Friday was the star of our Bunnings weekend, gently greeting every shopper (human and canine!) with her signature charm and waggy tail. She’s confident, cuddly, and absolutely loves being the centre of attention.

💖 What makes Friday special:
✨ Outgoing, affectionate, and playful
✨ Gets along beautifully with other dogs and is gentle with kids
✨ Thrives in a home full of love and company
✨ Fully grown at just 11kg, with a glossy tan coat and soulful eyes
✨ Up-to-date with vet care and ready for her forever family

Friday’s journey began alone in the pound, but she’s never lost her spark. She’s now listed on our website https://www.sweetpeaanimalrescue.com.au/adoptions/dogs/adults/friday and Pet Rescue https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1138875, and she’s ready to begin her next chapter with a family who’ll adore her as much as we do.
📸 Just look at that face… 🥹 Come meet her at Paws 4 an Hour on Thursday morning from 10:30 to 11:30 am, and discover what puppy perfection really looks like!😍

🌟 Thank you, Kaede! 🌟

We’re thrilled to introduce Kaede of Kaede Creative – a brilliant Digital Specialist who has been working behind the scenes to help us list our precious rescue animals online, both on our website and Pet Rescue. Thanks to Kaede’s expertise, more of our furry friends are finding their way to loving forever homes. 💻🐾

But that’s not all… we’re also embarking on an exciting new journey with Kaede to revamp our website! It’s going to be a beautiful, more user-friendly space that truly reflects the heart of Sweet Pea. Stay tuned – we can’t wait to share it with you!

Please join us in giving Kaede the warmest welcome to the Sweet Pea family and thanking her for donating her professional time to support our rescue mission. Her kindness and talent are already making a world of difference. 💖

Check out this gorgeous moment from our brainstorming session earlier this week with Kaede, Timber, and Rip. And don’t miss Timber proudly clutching his “security” leaf in his mouth—too adorable for words and absolutely in sync with this gentle soul. 🍃💚

Day One of Bunnings Stores for Paws—what a joy! 💚🐶

Today was all heart ♥️. We reunited with familiar faces, welcomed new ones, and proudly introduced our beautiful rescue dogs to the world. From wagging tails to warm hugs, it was a celebration of community, compassion, and the incredible spirit of our volunteers—who show up rain, hail or shine to stand by the animals who need us most.

To everyone who stopped by to say hello: thank you. Your kindness fuels our mission. 💫
** Special shout out 📣 to Joe who dropped by especially to leave a donation! Joe and his partner, Helen, adopted Storm & Cloud 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ from us 4 years ago. A reminder of the impact adoption can have on people’s lives! **

📸 Here are a few snapshots from today—smiles, snuggles, and sweet moments galore.
We’ll be back tomorrow, ready to do it all again!

If you don’t spot us out front, don’t worry—we’re tucked away down the back, making noise and spreading love somewhere in store. Come find us! 🐾💜

🐾🩷 Foster Heroes Needed for Peggy-Sue & Bobbi-Jo! 🩷🐾

These two charming country Pugs—aged 3 and 2—have hearts full of love and just a tad too much sass for one of their smaller housemate. While they share snuggles with a Macaw (yes, really!) and live peacefully alongside dogs, chooks, goats, and cats, it’s time they found a quieter place to call home.🥺

We’re urgently seeking a committed and caring foster carer who can provide Peggy-Sue & Bobbi-Jo with:
- A loving, low-competition home 🏡
- Plenty of cuddles and companionship 💕
- A safe space to adjust emotionally during this big change 🛌

✨ Fostering changes lives. ✨ These girls need someone to shadow, adore, and call their own—and YOU could be their lifeline.

Make a difference today. The love you give will come back tenfold. 💖
