Could you be bears forever family? 🐻

Location: Sydney’s Northern Beaches

Bear is looking for his new forever family and I’m hoping that may be someone here! 🥰

Bear has now been in my care for two weeks and he is an absolute sweetheart! He’s such a happy little guy who just loves to snuggle!

Bear is a purebred longhaired Miniature Dachshund weighting about 4.5 kilos. He is 2 years of age and had all vet work completed as well as been desexed.

Bear is fine to be left alone “preferably indoors” but I wouldn’t recommend him to someone who is out all the time or works long days away from home. Being a miniature Dachshund Bear loves attention and people. Someone who works from home or someone semi retired would be perfect for bear.

Bear is fine with other days and has lived with other dogs before “which he loved” but he can be a little fearful at first especially of very large dogs.

Bear is such a little sweetheart and will bring so much joy to your life!

He sleeps through the night without a peep walks well on lead, though often likes to stop to smell the grass.

All this little guy wants is someone to love and love him in return.

If you think you could offer bear an amazing forever home please reach out! I’ll be so sad to see him go, but he’s so ready to find his forever home now. 🏡❤️

We have had a whopping 103 applications for POPPY!
I’m so sorry I will only be able to contact shortlisted applicants.
Thank you all so much for your amazing applications! 🤎

🛑 APPLICATIONS CLOSED 🛑

Meet Poppy, the POPSTAR 🐾

Location - Sydney, NSW.

I have to be honest, I love every single dog that come into the care of AFAR, but this gorgeous girl is my biggest weakness to date! She is PERFECTION.
We contemplated keeping her time and time again, that’s how amazing she is!

Poppy is a purebred French bulldog, roughly 5 months old.

I nor anyone else could possibly fault this gorgeous girl, she is an absolute sweetheart and such a pleaser. She does not have a bad bone in her body.

She can be left home alone INDOORS or outdoors, she does not destroy anything. Just plays with her toys and takes a very long nap! I potentially watch her on the camera when I miss her! But don’t tell her that!
Poppy is used to being left for about 5 hours alone every Monday. She shows no signs or separation anxiety.

We spent forever finding Poppy the perfect home and we thought we did! Her new owner absolutely adores her but is unfortunately having some sinus issues and allergies to her and is absolutely devastated to part with her! So again we will find only the best forever home for our popstar!

She is the best snuggle bug ever! 🐞

Poppy adores children, loves all people and will be best friends with any dog who will allow her too!

This gorgeous girl loves a walk, especially to the beach where she gets to see all her doggie friends, but is also a pretty lazy little lady and doesn’t require a walk every day or if it’s raining. She’s happy to laze around!

Poppy is house or apartment friendly. 🥰

She does not bark and would suit a young family or an older person as well. She is so so very gentle and calm. I would have no concerns with any kind of potential applicant.

Whoever gets the opportunity to provide this girl with a new forever home is the luckiest person/family in the world and I cannot promise I won’t shed a million tears when parting ways with her! 😭

If you think that could be you, don’t miss out!

Email [email protected] with some information about your family, home and lifestyle.

Thank you.

Meet Buffy! 🐾
- Sydney, NSW
The 14 week old pocket bully.

True to her name this little girl is an absolute brick!
Buffy will grow to be of smaller/medium size “below knee height” but she will be absolute brick, extremely solid little girl and needs a home who will give her the training and care required for a strong little beast.

Buffy is a pocket bully and we recommend you look into some information about the breed before applying.

Buffy is such a typical bully she is the most gentle, calm, sweet soul. She loves nothing more than to snuggle up with you on the couch and laze around.

Buffy is not at all a biter, and she’s also not a crazy girl by any means. She’s actually super lazy! 😅

Buffy is doing really well with her toilet training and will sleep through the night in her bed. She may wake once to go out to the toilet, but otherwise she won’t make a peep.

Buffy would be suited to any family, she’s gentle so would be fine with young children, loves dog but can be a little hesitant at first. “She’s currently in care with a large breed dog and they are best friends”

Whatever family has this gorgeous girl join them will be so very lucky, she is the absolute best! 🥰

Please note - Buffy is an assisted rehome due to unforeseen personal circumstance costs will apply.

If you think you have the perfect family for Buffy please email [email protected] with some information about your family, home & lifestyle.

Heaven gained an angel. 🌈

Last week our gorgeous King “one of my first rescue dogs” crossed the rainbow bridge. 😥

This gorgeous boy had a really rough start, he came into our care as a private serenader. We were told he lived on a farm and was 8/9 and had just gotten to old for the farm life and couldn’t keep up.

One of our amazing volunteers drove roughly 8 hours to collect this gorgeous boy and bring him down to Sydney, as soon as he arrived I had concerns. He seemed to bare all weight on one side of his body and didn’t look overly healthy.

We took him to the vet for a check over and found out he wasn’t microchipped and was believed to be about 3/4 not the eight or nine we had been told.

They also said there looked to be some underlying issues in his knee which couldn’t be assessed without sedation and cutting the leg open.

We raised the funds to get this done and found out he had a broken leg which had been left untreated for a long period of time and he needed a TPLO surgery or would loose mobility to walk. This was going to cost around $4,500 plus a long haul recovery.

Thanks to you, our amazing followers and support team we were able to have this surgery and king spent his long difficult 12 weeks recovering.
Vets told us due to the weight being carried on the other leg for so long there was a high chance that the same surgery would be required on the other leg in the future.

We remained hopeful for our gorgeous king and hoped he would come through this, but the devastating news came about 6 weeks ago. He’s second legs now required the same surgery.

We as a small rescue did not have these funds to have a second surgery done and our gorgeous King would have to suffer another long 12 week recovery which was just to much for him to bare again.

Last week the hard decision came to his foster carer/adoptive family that king be lay to rest with the memory of the amazing home he got to spend his last months in. 🤎

We want to thank everyone who donated to kings surgery from the bottom of our hearts. An also thank his foster/forever family for giving him the most beautiful end to his life. He was shown so much care, compassion and love that I could not have asked for anything more for this beautiful boy. 🥰

I also want to remind everyone that rescue isn’t always butterfly’s and rainbows. Sometimes we succeed and have an amazing outcome for our babies and sometimes we fail these gorgeous beings and heaven gains another angel. 👼

Rest in paradise King 👑

First they steal your heart, then they steal your bed. 🤎🐾

💔

This is what it looks like when you surrender your dog to a shelter. This is from a dog who was dropped off to the shelter after being in a quiet home, with a bed, with a family. This is diarrhea from having an upset stomach. Have you ever been so anxious to the point where you get sick to your stomach? This is a 24/7 feeling for a dog who has been surrendered. “Where is my family?” “Why am I in a cage?” “Why are all these dogs barking at me?” Imagine one day you’re taken from your luxurious life and thrown in prison for no reason, never to see your family again. Did you know 50% of dogs who are surrendered to a shelter don’t make it out? Pets are a lifelong commitment. Do not get an animal if you cannot financially, emotionally, or physically care for one. Newsflash, there is no such thing as a perfect dog or cat. They are expensive and a lot of work. The loyalty of an animal is unmatched. They would never do it to you, so don’t do it to them….
