🎉💙 ADOPTED - Dory has found her family! 💙🎉

From the very first meet, it was clear that Dory swum into the hearts of the Burns family with her boundless Staffy energy and silly, goldfish-like attention span. Now she has her very own cheer squad (and ball throwers!) to keep her entertained, loved, and constantly reminded that yes, she is a very good girl. 💕

We couldn’t be happier for Dory as she heads off into her brand-new life full of cuddles, laughter, and endless games of fetch. 🥎 A big congratulations to the Burns family - may your days be filled with zoomies, belly rubs, and all the happy chaos that comes with a Staffy heart of gold.

🐾 Pumpkin Has Found Her Patch! 🐾

Our cheeky, zoomie-loving girl Pumpkin has officially packed her bags and leaped off to her forever home!

From the moment she bounded into our care, Pumpkin stole hearts with her goofy grin, oversized cuddles, and just the right amount of mischief. She may have been “a work in progress,” but she’s proven that with patience, guidance, and plenty of treats, she’s a superstar in the making.

Now, Pumpkin gets to keep growing, learning, and being her big, beautiful, bouncy self in a family who adores her just the way she is. 🧡

Congratulations, sweet girl! we know you’ll keep life spicy, silly, and full of love for your lucky human!

🥳 Pippa Has Found Her Forever! 🥳

From a tiny, malnourished pup with a rough start to life… to a bright, bouncy, clever girl.

👋 Hi, I’m Diesel.

I know, I look tough… but the truth? I’m basically a giant cinnamon roll with legs.

I’m 5 and thriving, which means:
🍖 Food >>> literally everything
😴 Naps are life
💤 I snore like a tractor
🛋️ I am 100% a lap dog (don’t argue)

What I’m looking for:
✔️ A couch (the bigger the better)
✔️ Humans who love cuddles
✔️ Someone to supervise while they eat snacks (safety first)
✔️ Short strolls, long snoozes

I don’t understand why no one’s picked me yet… maybe because people think tanks can’t cuddle? (Spoiler: we can. And we do it well. 💕)

📞 Call Paws for Life on (02) 6767 5991 if you want me to be your big, drooly shadow.

Love,
Diesel 🐾

📖✨ A New Chapter for Cady ✨📖

From the moment she arrived, Cady’s gentle nature and loyal heart stole the hearts of everyone she met. Now, she’s off to start her brand-new life with a family who will treasure her just as much as we have.

Happy tails, beautiful girl - may your days be filled with couch snuggles, backyard adventures, and all the love you deserve. 🐾💖

I'VE BEEN ADOPTED!

🧸💙 Meet Teddy – Big Paws, Bigger Heart, and the Sweetest Soul Around! 💙🧸

If you’ve been dreaming of a gentle, goofy best mate with a heart of gold, Teddy might just be the one! At only 11 weeks old, this mixed breed pup is already winning hearts with his puppy-dog eyes, soft nature, and clumsy charm. Expected to grow into a medium to large dog, Teddy is ready to leave his tough start behind and step into the good life - with you!

Teddy and his sister Pippa came into care severely malnourished, but you’d never guess it now. With love, food, and safety, Teddy has blossomed into a playful, affectionate little man with so much love to give. He’s still building confidence in new environments but is showing every day just how brave and trusting he can be.

Teddy is food-motivated, thoughtful, and full of potential. While his sister may be the bold one, Teddy is the quietly clever type - happy to learn, eager to please, and always up for a cuddle. He thrives with gentle guidance and will make a loyal, devoted companion to the right family.

Whether he’s trotting after you in the yard, tumbling into his water bowl mid-step, or curling up at your feet for a nap, Teddy is the perfect mix of silly and sweet.

Teddy’s adoption fee is $550, which includes microchipping, up-to-date vaccinations, desexing, flea & worm treatment, and lifetime registration in NSW.

If you’re ready to give this tender-hearted boy the life he deserves, call Paws for Life today on (02) 6767 5991 to arrange a meet and greet with Teddy - you won’t regret it.

Please note: No holds will be taken on Facebook or over the phone.

I'VE BEEN ADOPTED 🥳🙂

💖🐾 Meet Pippa – A Genius In Disguise With a Heart Full of Hope! 🐾💖

Looking for a bright, affectionate, and playful pup to grow up alongside you? Say hello to Pippa - an 11-week-old mixed breed sweetheart who’s already proving she’s got brains, bounce, and a bucketload of charm! Expected to grow into a medium to large dog, Pippa is ready to find her forever home where she can finally thrive.

Pippa and her brother had a rough start to life, arriving in care severely malnourished and unsure of the world. But with each passing day, this clever girl is learning that life is full of treats, toys, kind hands, and happy moments. Her resilient spirit is shining through, and she’s blossoming into a confident, food-motivated little learner.

This pint-sized adventurer is already showing off her smarts - she’s curious, engaged, and eager to learn the ropes of life. Whether it’s mastering her basic commands, exploring the backyard, or showing off her zoomies, Pippa is soaking it all up like a sponge!

After playtime? Expect a snuggle. Pippa’s gentle, loving nature means she’ll happily curl up next to you and soak in all the comfort and cuddles she missed out on early in life.

Pippa’s adoption fee is $550, which includes microchipping, up-to-date vaccinations, desexing, flea & worm treatment, and lifetime registration in NSW.

Think Pippa might be the perfect pup for your family? Call Paws for Life on (02) 6767 5991 to arrange a meet and greet with this brave little survivor - you might just meet your best friend in the making.

I'M BEEN ADOPTED!! 🥳

🎃🐾 Meet Pumpkin - A Whole Lotta Love in a Chunky, Cheeky Package! 🐾🎃

Soft on the outside, spicy on the inside - meet Pumpkin, a 9-10-month-old Mastiff X who’s basically the dog version of your favourite comfort food: warm, hearty, and a little bit messy in the best way.

This adorable powerhouse is bursting with personality. She’s got a bounce in her step, a spark in her eye, and a mild obsession with being involved in everything you do. From zoomies to snuggle sessions, Pumpkin brings the energy, the attitude, and the laughs.

She’s still just a pup, and like any good pumpkin pie, she’s a work in progress - currently rising in confidence, baking in some basic manners, and learning how to socialise like a well-adjusted member of society. But with a bit of guidance and a sprinkle of treats, Pumpkin is well on her way to becoming the perfectly balanced companion.

Pumpkin is affectionate, goofy, and bursting with personality. She’s the type to get the zoomies at the most inconvenient time, knock over a water bowl mid-snuggle, and look up at you like, “Did I do that? My bad. Wanna cuddle?” She’s a big gal with even bigger love to give - and if you’ve got patience, a sense of humour, and maybe some reinforced furniture, you’re halfway to being her soulmate.

She’ll thrive in a home that understands young dogs need guidance, structure, and snacks. Lots of snacks. Pumpkin is food-motivated and eager to learn - especially if the lesson involves treats, praise, or possibly cheese. She will enjoy the company of another well-matched dog (a meet and greet is a must), but she’d also be perfectly content being your one-and-only pumpkin pie.

Her adoption fee is $550, which includes microchipping, up-to-date vaccinations, desexing, flea & worm treatment, and lifetime registration in NSW.

Call Paws for Life on (02) 6767 5991 today to meet Pumpkin - your squashy, sassy, snuggle-loving sidekick in waiting!
