If you look up “lanky” in the dictionary, you could possibly find a picture of Tucker. He’s Hound-Spaniel x who weighs 27kg and is now a year old. We are told he knows sit, lie down, wait (for food), and is toilet trained. See him at play in our video in the comments. Staff at our Devonport Home say Tucker is “very” energetic. “He needs work on his training as he can be a bit jumpy and boisterous,” they said. Tucker hasn’t lived with children and should probably go to a home with no children, or older teenagers, until he gets his own playful teenage urges under control. Tucker likes to play fetch and enjoys treats, so reward-based training should be his idea of fun. He enjoys attempting to sit in people’s laps. Staff tell us he’s a great conversation starter as well. We understand he has lived with another dog or dogs. 🐾 Energetic lad 🐾 Just a teenager 🐾 Some training 🐾 … needs more Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check.

A comedy fan with their own cracking sense of humour must have named young Arj here, for surely he is named after American standup Arj Barker? See him being seriously good fun in our video in the comments. Arj is a cheerful, friendly American Foxhound who is four years old and weighs 33.5kg. We’re told he knows sit and wait, sometimes comes when called, and is toilet trained, but may be in need of a toileting refresher course — although staff at our Devonport Home say he keeps his pen clean which is a positive sign. We understand Arj loves a good run and enjoys following his nose on walks, as any self-respecting Hound should. He is playful with other dogs, although he hasn’t lived with any other pets in the past. He has lived with primary and secondary school-aged children and enjoys the company of kids. 🐾 A stand-up guy 🐾 Friendly nature 🐾 Some training 🐾 Likes other dogs 🐾 And kids too!

Hey hey, here’s AJ! And what a handsome fellow he is. See him at play in our video in the comments. AJ is a Beagle-Foxhound x who is one year old and weighs 24.5kg. We’re told he hasn’t had any training, but comes when called and is toilet trained. We’re told he has a happy nature with a dash of goofball, and considers himself a lap dog despite his size. “AJ is nervous of new people and surroundings initially,” staff at our Devonport Home said. “But he’s a very sweet boy who doesn't mind snuggling into you. He definitely has the Hound nose as he has to sniff everywhere. He likes squeaky toys and rope toys, and enjoys trips to the dog park. AJ has lived with primary school-aged children and other dogs, but not with any other companion animals. 🐾 Happy nature 🐾 Lover of laps 🐾 Snuggle monster 🐾 Needs training Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check.

Ziggy looks pretty happy with life, despite finding herself at our Devonport Home. That smile is as wide as the Grand Canyon. She’s a Staffy-Mastiff x who will be four years old in August and weighs 20kg. We’re told she knows sit and out, comes when called and is toilet trained, although she’s mostly been an outside dog and may need a toilet training refresher course. “Ziggy is a beautiful, affectionate girl who loves cuddles,” is the news from the Home. “All the staff love her, and she really does smile!” That’s a glowing report if ever we’ve heard one. She’s had some exposure to visiting children and lived with another dog that, sadly, she did not always get on with. However, since she has been with us she has happily been sharing space with a male yard buddy, so she might like a suitably matched canine companion in her new home. 🐾 Miss Popularity 🐾 Affectionate girl 🐾 Loveable nature 🐾 Genuine smile Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check.

We now have two Teddys, a Bear, and a Ted in our care. We just need a Jemima and our Play School session can go ahead. Ted certainly enjoys some play — see this athletic guy’s moves in our video in the comments. He’s a Ridgeback-Mastiff-Staffy x who weighs 22kg and will be four years old in September. We’re told Ted knows sit, stay, and comes when called, but is not toilet trained. Thankfully, he’s not too old to learn some new tricks and should be a good candidate for training that involves treats. He enjoys a good run in the bush or a spot of fetch. Ted has lived with other dogs — of greatly differing sizes in the form of a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua — but hasn’t lived with any children in the past. He’s enjoyed a rural lifestyle where he was around sheep, cows and horses. Hi-ho, Silver! 🐾 Sad-faced fellow 🐾 Little training … 🐾 Needs more 🐾 Likes other dogs Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check.

Charlie has adopted a ridiculous, legs akimbo-style sit and combined it with the most serious face in all of dogdom for his main profile picture. See more pix of him in the comments. He’s a Kelpie-Rottweiler-Ridgeback x who is seven months old and weighs 22kg. We are told he knows sit and down, and is toilet and crate trained. This playful lad is initially a little nervous with new people but is generally human-focused and craves our company. He’s still a bit boisterous so a family with older children is recommended. Charlie can get a bit carried away with his excitement at times and will need further training focused on the ins and outs of appropriate behaviour, along with socialisation with people of all ages. As mentioned, he’s human focused and would like a home where someone is around more often than not. He will need regular exercise. Charlie has enjoyed yard time with Hound x AJ at our Devonport Home and would benefit from having another dog of similar energy levels to keep him company in his new place.

Hank is a fantastic name for a hefty dog, and our Hank certainly fits that bill. It's also a moniker that lends itself to a wealth of nicknames. Hank the Tank is a Mastiff-Rottweiler x weighing in at an impressive 45.5kg. He turned a year old in March. We are told he’s semi-toilet trained and knows sit, no, and lie down. “Hank is a big, goofy, boisterous boy,” staff at our Devonport Home say. “He will take all the attention and cuddles he can get.” Oh, Hanky Panky! “He doesn't realise he is a big dog and doesn't know his own strength. He’s playful and likes to chase a squeaky toy, and also shows interest in rope toys.” As mentioned, Handsome Hank is unaware of his size, and as a result should probably go to a home with older children. His play style is a little too full-on for most dogs, but training and socialisation with dogs of a similar size might help him learn not to throw his weight around. 🐾 Big, goofy fellow 🐾 Boisterous boy 🐾 Loves attention 🐾 Some training Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check.

Angus must have had some beef with our photographer during his photoshoot – boyfriend has rudely poked out his tongue for all to see. Jokes aside, we are told Angus is “a friendly, affectionate boy who absolutely adores human affection”. Affection both ways sounds promising! He came to us as a stray and we believe he’s a Bull Mastiff about five and a half years old. He weighs a bit more than 36kg. Angus knows sit and is generally very well mannered, although he is strong on a lead. An obedience training refresher that includes treats when he does walk well could provide all the motivation he needs to rein things in. He’s not recommended for a home with cats, and possibly other small animals, but we understand Angus is good with other dogs. 🐾 Pure Angus beef 🐾 Friendly fellow 🐾 Affectionate nature 🐾 Adores people Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check.
