Expressions of Interest

The dogs pictured here are available for adoption by Expression of Interest (EOI) only. These dogs are not available for viewing or meet and greets in our Adoption area without the submission of an EOI. There are many reasons why a dog is available by EOI only. Reasons can include being in foster care, having extra special needs (eg. a senior) or we expect them to be so popular that half the state will book to visit them!

To place an EOI, please click on the link at the bottom of the page. Staff will review your application and make contact with you to arrange a meeting with the dog if they believe you might be a good fit.

Please note:

we can only accept EOIs under the correct dogs name. Please don’t select another dog’s name in the drop down menu.
if you cannot see a dog’s name in the list, it’s because we have hit the max number of EOIs that we are able to accept for that dog and we unable to take any further.
due to the number of EOIs that we receive, we may not be able to respond to unsuccessful applicants.
we understand you may want to increase your chances of being selected as a new fur parent, but contacting us to reiterate information in your application only takes us away from our doggie duties and does not increase your chances.

Thank you for your understanding.

Just think: if you adopt Lego, you can refer to your home as LEGOLAND.

Lego may look like a thylacine, but he’s actually a Greyhound who weighs 33.5kg and will be three years old in September. He has passed his unmuzzling assessment and has his orange collar to prove it. As far as training goes, we can see that he’s partial to a piece of cheese …

He spent some time in foster care and received a glowing report: “He is quiet and gentle, is very social with people and dogs, and loves a cuddle!” his carer says. “He loves the beach, and generally wants to spend all his time in someone's company whether it's for a snooze or out and about in the garden.”

“Lego would love his humans to be around him most of the time, otherwise he gets lonely,” our foster care guru says. “He is a leaner and will lean his whole body weight into you.”

🐾 Quiet nature …
🐾 And gentle too
🐾 Cuddle monster
🐾 Loves people …
🐾 And other dogs

Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check. Each dog has also been behaviourally assessed.

If you are interested in meeting Lego, please use the link below to submit an expression of interest. Please include as much detail as you can about the life you could provide for a new dog. Staff from our Hobart Home will contact those suitable to chat and arrange an appointment.

Are you the type of person who likes to buy in bulk and get more bang for your buck? Tiger offers many more kilos than the average for his adoption price.

He’s a Mastiff x who is four years old and weighs a very impressive 55kg. We’re told he knows sit and “bed”, comes when called, and is mostly toilet trained.

Tiger needed eye surgery when he came into our care, and then spent some time in foster care recovering. “He has been a fantastic boy with us, and an absolute gem with all his vet checks and meds in his eye,” our foster care co-ordination guru said. Tiger is a people-focused dog who aims to please.

“For a 55kg boy, he is actually very gentle,” our foster carer said. “For a dog who I think has always been an outside dog, he only made one mistake inside on his first day. He’s gentle as a lamb to walk and will be a great addition to someone's family.” He’s even been going on evening strolls with a 10-year-old Beagle lady. Does that mean Tiger has a “cougar” girlfriend?

🐾 Looking to upsize?
🐾 Gentle nature
🐾 People focused
🐾 Easy walking

Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check. Each dog has also been behaviourally assessed.

Buddy’s gorgeous coat literally gleams in the sunlight. Someone’s been getting his fish oil!

This handsome lad is a German Shorthaired Pointer-Smithfield x who weighs 24.5kg and will be a year old in September. He hasn’t had much in the way of training but we’re told he comes when called and is toilet trained.

He’s been spending some time in foster care where he’s happily interacted with another dog. He lived with a small dog in his past life. He’s also lived with children before and has been around them in foster care as well.

Buddy has been learning his training basics, but as with any dog will need ongoing training. He’s a mix of two energetic breeds and will require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He’s not suitable for a home with cats or other small animals.

🐾 What a looker
🐾 Energetic mix
🐾 Young fellow
🐾 Needs training

Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check. Each dog has also been behaviourally assessed.

Handsome Alfie looks to be almost bursting with enthusiasm for life, with his bright eyes and frankly over-the-top ears.

Alfie is a Border Collie-Smithfield x who weighs 20kg and will be a year old in May. We’re told he knows sit, heel and walk, and is toilet trained.

Staff at our Hobart Home confirmed this, saying he is a “young, playful, happy boy” who will sit for treats. Ongoing training will be important at his age.

He hasn’t lived with children but has lived with other dogs, although he tends to want all the attention to himself so may do best as the sole dog in his new home. He hasn’t lived with any other pets. He will need ongoing socialisation with other dogs, and people too.

Alfie enjoys going for car rides and likes a splash under the garden sprinkler.
We’re told he loves to sleep near his humans at night. Aww, Alfie! As a mix of two brainy, working dog breeds, Alfie will need plenty of mental stimulation and exercise.

🐾 Playful youngster
🐾 Happy nature
🐾 Needs training
🐾 … and socialisation

Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check. Each dog has also been behaviourally assessed.

If you look closely, you’ll see Nova has the most delightful little black beard framing her bottom jaw. Don’t you just want to tickle those whiskers?

She’s a Smithfield-Staghound x who is almost four months old and weighs a little under 13kg, with plenty of growing to do. We are told she knows sit and is toilet trained, and sometimes comes when called.

At her age obedience training is a work in progress that should be ongoing. She will also need socialisation with people and other dogs, and gentle introductions to the wider world.

Nova can be a little over-the-top at playtime so isn’t suited for a home with young children until she learns some manners. She has lived with another dog, and cats and chickens she enjoyed chasing. She’s not suited for a home with small animals or livestock.

🐾 Wonderful whiskers!
🐾 Some training …
🐾 But needs more …
🐾 And socialisation

Every dog is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and has had a standard health check. Each dog has also been behaviourally assessed.

If you are interested in meeting Nova, please use the link below to submit an expression of interest. Please include as much detail as you can about the life you could provide for a new dog. Staff from our Hobart Home will contact those suitable to chat and arrange an appointment.

Malibu is such an appealing girl with her gorgeous white patches speckled with red freckles.

She's a Staffy x who weighs 30kg and will be two years old on Remembrance Day. She hasn’t had much in the way of training but we are told she knows sit, comes when called and is toilet trained.

“She is sweet-natured dog who is playful and energetic,” staff at our Hobart Home say. She likes playing with water and also enjoys getting a squirt from a garden hose.

She lived with another dog in the past that she was friendly with — she particularly enjoys playing chasings — so she might like a canine companion in her new home. She hasn’t lived with children.

🐾 Gorgeous girl
🐾 Little training
🐾 Loves water play
🐾 Sweet nature
🐾 Lots of energy
