💛 Available for Adoption

Hope is a gentle, sweet-natured social butterfly! She loves meeting new friends - anywhere, anytime! She absolutely melts over any affection!

Beautifully behaved at home, crate trained, house trained, and always eager to please, Hope will make the most delightful companion.

Whilst Hope truly adores her humans, it's dogs that hold a special place in her heart. She really lights up the moment she spots a potential canine friend coming her way. The bigger and bouncier the better!

Not surprisingly, doggy daycare is her ultimate happy place! She is always bubbling with excitement to burst through those doors and see how many new friends she can make at once.

Hope is equal parts goofy, cuddly, and irresistibly charming — the perfect mix of fun and affection.
Her divine personality shines wherever she goes

Her dream home would be with family who love to get out and about adventuring as much as they love being homebodies.
Ideally with another friendly, playful dog (preferably a big, silly one!) who enjoys games, zoomies, and long naps together.

If you’re looking for a loving little companion with a sweet soul and a fun streak, Hope is ready to wiggle her way right into your life!

Our phonetic alphabet babes are starting to decompress and settle beautifully into their new foster homes.

Their absolute favourite part of this fresh start is definitely eating!
They inhale their food like tiny vacuum cleaners — we’re pretty sure it doesn’t even hit the sides!

To slow them down (and work those clever little brains), we use enrichment feeding — puzzle bowls, snuffle mats and treat toys that make eating fun and mentally engaging. It helps them build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and ultimately become calmer, more content pups.🙌🏼

They’re also loving their daily adventures from the comfort and safety of a pram — because exploring the world doesn’t always have to be on paws! 🥰

We still have a few pups who need to be separated into individual foster homes. If you’ve been dreaming of puppy-breath cuddles and hours of adorable, time wasting chaos, send us a message or pop over to our website to submit a foster application. 💛

Allow us to officially introduce our “Weather/Nature litter”

River, Sunny, Winter, Summer and Stormy.

These 7 week old kittens found themselves at a regional pound and we were grateful to get the call to offer them a foster position within our community based foster care network.

They have already been for a vet check, vaccination, worm and microchip. And in a couple of weeks these adorable floofballs will be desexed, ready to find their forever families.

Remember to adopt, don’t shop! When looking for a kitten this kitten season.

💛Puppy carers needed💛

It's raining puppers here at The Yellow Door!

And whilst that sounds cute and fun, it's also a struggle.

We just don't have the carers to keep up.

So we're on the search for some new carers to join our team.

We provide:
Food
Bedding
Toys
Crate
Vet care
Puppy training
24/7 support

You just need to be in the Geelong region with a loving heart, some time to spend cuddling and basic training and a safe, secure yard.

We love it if you have other dogs, kids, cats or other animals too! It's great exposure for the bebes.

If you have space in your heart and home to offer a pup while we find their forever home, please send us a message.

*Foster carer bonus: You get first choice to adopt if it's the right match for you!

💛New arrivals💛

We didn't really have room for 1 more.

Then there were these tiny, starving souls alone in a pound.

So today we welcomed 6 more.

3 curious dark boys - Romeo Foxtrot, Charlie Delta, Alpha Bravo and 3 shy tan girls - Sierra Whiskey, Juliet Echo and India Halo.

To be honest, we're not entirely sure where they're going past the weekend yet, but they're safe, warm and loved, those little bellies are on their way to full and they'll never go without again.

That's what matters for now.

That's the best part.

We'll work the rest out tomorrow.

Huge thanks to our transport legend who endured a rather messy & stinky trip home and still didn't question his relationship status.
Not out loud anyway. 😅🫶🏼

💛 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION💛

Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug?

Huntrix may just be your girl!

She has sparkle in her eye and a tail that never stops celebrating life!
She's the whole package really! — brains, beauty, and buckets of love. She’s happiest when she’s part of the action, following her humans like a little shadow.

Huntrix, also known as Trixie, is a social butterfly who loves a good wrestle with her dog mates, adores kids, and thinks playtime is the best time. Cats make her a bit too ,excited at first, but with gentle guidance she soon remembers her gentle manners.

Trixie’s already nailing the good-girl stuff:
✅ Crate trained
✅ Excellent recall
✅ Sits and waits like a champ for dinner
✅ Eager to learn and impress

She’s clever, cheeky, and full of heart — the kind of dog who’ll make you laugh daily and melt your heart nightly.

If you’re after a loyal, playful sidekick who’ll fill your days with wagging tails and happy chaos, please send us a message.

💛Available for Adoption💛

Another of our amazing hoarder pack doggos ready to find their forever home. 🥰

Promise doesn’t just wag her tail… her whole b***y joins in!
She’s a people-loving sweetheart who believes humans are the absolute best thing on the planet.
Any humans.
All humans.
But she does hold a special place for her own humans. She’s loyal to the core. Wherever you go, she’s already there — your shadow, your support crew, your personal hype girl.

🐶 Solo Dog Diva

While Promise is tolerant with most dogs, she much prefers to be the only canine queen in her castle.
She wants all the love — and she’s 100% worth it!

🐱 Feline Fan Club President

Cats? Her favourite.
She'd absolutely share her life with a cat to bestie!
Horses? No problem.
Birds? Sure!
Peacocks? …we don’t talk about the peacock. He's a bit scary! 😳😂

🌾 Country Girl Vibes

She’s a dream dog for country life!

Promise loves the daily walk around the farm feeding animals and doing odd jobs. She has excellent recall, not that you need to even call her, she's mostly right by your side.
She loves to be where you are, by the bonfire, road trippin, walking at your heels, watching you work or cuddled up by your side.

As much as she loves the outdoor life, she's a brilliant house doggo too. Promise has wonderful indoor manners and is crate trained. She loves her crate and would like to have one in her new home.

💛 Promise In a Nutshell

• Super affectionate, loyal, people-loving girl
- Best as the only dog
- Cat, horse & bird friendly
- Confident, happy, FUN companion
- Ready for her forever person
- Would love life on a property or a camping and adventure lifestyle

If you’ve been searching for a loving shadow who will fill your life with happiness, cuddles, and endless tail-wags… Promise is ready to make good on her name. 💛

As kitten season starts to gain momentum; we welcome a tiny family who desperately needed our help.

Mum Emmy, is half the size of an average cat, weighing in at only 2.5kgs.
Instead of her tiny body channeling its resources into her own growth and development, it was forced instead to create and now nourish her three sweet but sickly kittens.

Surrendered because they developed cat flu at one week of age, these tiny kittens have thankfully found themselves with one of our incredible foster families.

Their daily routine, includes soaking their eyes throughout the day to clear the sticky discharge, as well as administering antibiotics twice daily and of course, plenty of TLC.

We beg you not to add to the number of kittens produced this kitten season. If you or someone you know needs help with desexing a cat, please reach out to Project Meow Geelong for low cost or free desexing. Alternatively contact geelonganimalwelfaresociety for a desexing voucher redeemable through their veterinary clinic.

There must have been something in the air yesterday or we were emitting some aura that suggested we desperately needed some good vibes sent our way.

Because unprompted, and unexpectedly, but definitely extremely warmly received, were not one, not two, but FOUR seniors updates that made our hearts swell with joy.

• 8 year old chonky border collie, Susie who we saved from the pound

• 10 year old chonky kelpie, Indy who was a private surrender after the loss of her human

• 12 year old spitz siblings Sammy and Skye who were a private surrender after the loss of their human

• 12 year old wolfy x R***r, now Rufus who we saved from the pound

Four new owners who not only committed to the love and care of a new pet, but also continuing the weight loss journey, the trials of managing kidney disease and arthritis and feeding a toothless gummy shark.

We are so grateful to everyone who chooses adoption, but the seniors and the special needs adoptions will always hold a special place in our hearts

Thank you for the updates, but most importantly thank you for choosing to save a life🫶🏻
