Hobart Dogs

Dogs at our Hobart Home

The dogs below are waiting for adoption from our Hobart Home. If you’re interested in adopting one of these dogs, please click the link below to make an appointment to visit the Home. Dogs are being adopted throughout the day, and while we try and update Facebook and the website as soon as a dog is adopted, we cannot guarantee that any particular dog will still be there when you visit.

We only take visitors by appointment. This helps us to limit the amount of people in the adoption area, reducing stress on the dogs. Bookings can only be made on the day and for two days ahead.

Handsome Emmett is accessorising to the max with his fetching festive green bow tie. See more of him in the comments.

He’s a Greyhound who weighs 33kg and turned five years old last October. He’s been in foster care where it was found that he is toilet trained. He doesn’t seem to have had any other training. “Emmett loves ear scratches, pats and attention from his humans,” his carer says.

Emmett is working toward his Dogs’ Homes orange collar but is not quite there yet. This means he will need to be muzzled in public. We offer ongoing support to Greyhound owners who adopt from us to help their dog achieve orange collar status.

Emmett would probably do best as the sole dog in the home, and he’s not suitable for a family with children aged under 12. His teeth have had a scale and polish in our care so that cost has been covered.

“Last night a DJ saved my life,” goes the ’80s disco hit. DJ could a be a lifesaver of a different sort — with the healing power of love. See more of him in the comments.

He’s a Border Collie-Kelpie x who weighs 20kg and is about three and a half years old. We’re told he is toilet trained, comes when called, and knows sit and stop.

“DJ was unsure on arrival at our Hobart Home but has been coming out of his shell each day,” staff say. “He initially wasn’t great on a lead but has been getting better with some positive encouragement.”

He lived with two older Border Collie-Kelpie crosses in his previous home and might like a canine companion to show him the ropes in his new home. He’s had his teeth cleaned in our care so that cost has been covered.

As a mix of two active, brainy working dog breeds, DJ will need plenty of exercise for his agile body and stimulation for his equally agile mind.

We can’t quite put our finger on it, but Diesel looks like some kind of dog-marsupial-fur seal-hippo-bat hybrid.

He’s a Staffy x who weighs 23kg and will be 11 years old in June. We’re told he is toilet trained and knows sit, but that’s it. He’s quite the interesting character: he’s been dressed up as Superman for kids’ birthdays, loves a butt scratch or a bum-drumming session, and is unfazed by fireworks — he’ll sit and watch them with you. What a cool dude.

He’s lived with children of all ages before. As an older guy, “we would suggest older children and a chilled household for Diesel”, staff say. He also lived with other dogs and cats in his previous home but there’s no guarantee he will be embraced by any cats in his new place.

Hey hey, here’s Ray: “He may be old and grey but he can still have his silly spurts,” staff say. There’s way too much rhyming going on here.

He’s a Greyhound who weighs 36.5kg and will be 10 years old in August. We don’t have any more information about him, and we don’t know where he is with his obedience and toilet training.

He’s had his teeth cleaned and some removed while in our care, so his choppers are good to go. He hasn’t had a muzzling assessment yet and will need to wear one in public until he does.

Sweetpea is running way out in front in the Best Smile Stakes. Isn’t she lovely? 

She came to us as a stray so we can only speculate about her breeding. We think she’s a Border Collie x about six months old. She weighs 12kg but has some filling out to do.

“She is an absolute sweet pea,” staff say. “She just wants cuddles, and we struggled to get a photo of her as she just wanted to climb into our staffer's lap and take a nap.

“Sweetie is very friendly but can be nervous at times. She definitely needs some training, as she doesn't even seem to know sit.” Good thing we recommend training for all our youngsters then.

Sweetpea would benefit from a beginner training course where she can learn the obedience basics and get socialisation experiences with people and other dogs.
