This is the gorgeous cheeky JILLY .. she is a friendly happy girl with loads of personality and a happy disposition .. Jilly is outgoing and loves to play and wrestle. Shes a good looking girl who wants nothing more than to have her very own family to love and protect .. could that be you?

Jilly loves going for walks to the dog park and to the beach. She is strong and pulls and therefore is using a head collar which works well .. Jilly is very healthy and fit and has had all her vet work up to date. She will make a great pet for an active family who is interested in her continued training.

JJilly lives with her carers and their dog Duff who is a big adorable Labrador .. she was always well loved and socialised and likes children but would suit a family with kids 6 and over as she is very actives .. Jilly is not to sure about cats.

Jilly is definitely a people dog and wants to spend time with you inside and loves to sleep on the floor beside you at night time .. Jilly has been know to escape if left alone too long so she will require at least 6 foot fencing preferable colourbond. Give her a chance .. you wont regret it.

One day COMET was found simply tied up to the fence at the shelter outside abandoned and nothing to eat!

He is a cutie happy and healthy dog although he really is still a pup born in June 2009.

Comet is such a sweet boy but is very shy at first .. once you win his trust he is an old cuddle pot.

Comet would do great in a family that has other dogs .. he plays so nicely with the other inmates.

He is still practicing how to be outgoing and comfortable .. Comet is smart which comes with the breed .. he will learn quickly .. he just needs patience and take baby steps!

Already Comet is a nice gentle leash walker or at least learning to be .. he enjoys outings .. especially if they involve other dogs or swimming.

Comet promises he will practice learning not to be so shy if somebody will give him a second chance to prove what a great fellow he is.

The adventure of a lifetime awaits!
NELLY was brought to Best Friends by a caring rescuer .. she is called The Adventure Puppy because she is so eager to explore the world .. born on January 2010 .. Nelly is healthy .. energetic .. bossy and oh-so-affectionate!

Raising a high-energy puppy is always plenty of work .. but if you are ready to begin the adventure of a lifetime with our Nelly get your reservation/adoption application in soon .. she is so impossibly cute that it will be hard to be stern with her but she needs good training and consistant leadership .. puppy school is a must.

Nelly is looking forward to beginning her journey to become a great pet in her very own forever home.

Nelly is adorable as all puppies are but make no mistake; raising a puppy is a big responsibility .. it takes time and commitment to help a squiggly bundle of love grow into a wonderful companion .. if you are up to the challenge please give the adventure puppy of your choice a call or email for an application.

Rosie loves life to the fullest
ROSIE was born in November 2009 and still has a lot of puppy energy .. Rosie loves to run around and play even though she has slight hip dysphasia .. she used to have some difficulty when going up and down stairs but now has no problem with stairs or any other surface.

Actually Rosie's favorite time of the day is when she gets to go on long walks .. she thinks people are the best .. her vet says she will hopefully grow out of it .. Rosie also has a lot of puppy love .. she falls in love with everyone she sees and has not quite figured out that enthusiastically jumping all over people is not the best way to express her feelings .. but you can teach her!

Rosie is very smart and eager to please .. she is hoping to find a home with loving people who will take the time to teach her the finer things in life like Sit .. Stay and Love!

Too Adoring?
When you first meet BOSSY your only complaint may be that he is too darned affectionate .. too happy .. too eager to please .. too willing to learn .. too fun to play with and too loving with everyone he meets.

Bossy does have some special needs .. he can get over-excited and even get mouthy or nippy .. he needs a calm experienced dog home without kids.

Bossy is a smart guy and he means so well .. he gets very exhuberant when he meets new people .. but he is recently learned to sit and wait until he is introduced even though what he would love to do is jump up and give hugs and become best friends instantly!

Bossy also knows Stay .. Down and Come and he walks on his leash without pulling .. it is all part of his Eager-To Pleaseness.

Bossy would like to go home with someone who has lots of new tricks to teach him .. lots of enthusiasm .. lots of dog savvy .. lots of patience when he gets over-stimulated and most of all lots and lots of love.

Let's make music together!
MACCY is a handsome healthy young dog born just in 2009 .. he has a wonderful smile and happy attitude .. Maccy is excited to meet new people and enjoys being petted.

This friendly boy knows the commands for sit and down and Maccy walks nicely wearing a harness and he is received glowing reviews from people who have met him.

Maccy loves people and happily plays ball and rolls in the grass .. like most young dogs Maccy could benefit from some basic training.

He is learning new skills and making good progress on being less mouthy .. something many dogs need a little help to outgrow.

Maccy came to Best Friends after being born in a shelter with little chance of finding love where he was .. we took him into our home and heart .. that was a very lucky break for this social youngster .. now he loves his creature comforts .. poor Maccy had to sleep on the concrete before!

He was named after a Scottish friend this smoothly handsome fellow longs to find a forever home where he will be treated as an inside/outside member of the family.

TOBY is your typical youngster .. full of life .. love and energy .. he was born in just 2008 and looking good!

Toby is a heeler so he instinctively knows he has a job to do .. he just has not figured out exactly what that job is .. so for now he practices by herding people .. Toby will stick right to you unless you play a game with him .. the only thing he loves more than his .. ahem job is playtime!

Toby is an easy-going fella who is great with other dogs and children .. he loves everyone he meets and does not really like to be left alone for too long .. Toby would love to be friends with you too .. Do you have a job for him in your home?

Perfect Patch
Meet PATCH .. he is a 12 month old Red Cattle Dog X .. he is an incredibly smart dog .. he can figure out windows and gate latches no problem.

This comes from the Cattle Dog breed for sure .. Patch may do very well on a property/farm with a loving family earning his keep.

Patch also is very relaxed and playful and great fun to have around .. his carers adore him and can not get over how smart and funny he is .. Patch is a constant source of amusement.

He will need good fences not because he runs away but he very easily figures out how to open the gate .. Patch is great around kids and other dogs .. he is not too sure about cats but has never show any animosity towards them.

He is very fit and quite tall and would require an active family to take him to the beach or bush walking .. Patch loves socialising and is a very well behaved dog inside and outside the house.

He deserves to be part of a loving family who can continue his training and give him a lot of love .. Patch loves cuddles and pats and hes very affectionate .. Patch thinks he is a cuddly lap dog and he wants to curl up as close to you as he can get.

Houdini in a dog suit!
JAZZ is a healthy good-looking Ridgeback mix .. she is a very sweet young dog .. Jazz is well-behaved and stops being shy once she gets to know you .. Oh and she loves other dogs .. absolutely loves them.

In fact that is the one trick that makes it challenging to find a forever home .. she wants to be with other dogs so much that she will jump a fence or break out of a crate to be with them .. so this escape artist needs a home that can really keep him safe with 6 foot COLOURBOND fencing .. anything else need not apply.

Jazz was found abandoned in a local pound .. there has been folks who loved her but could not prevent her from escaping their yard while they were at work .. so Jazz is still looking for a place to belong .. she has had some training and walks beautifully on a leash.

Jazz would do great with any type of family: a single person .. a couple or a family with mature children .. she loves playing with other dogs and has good doggie communication skills .. if you already have a dog at home Jazz would love to have a new playmate.

Are you that special person who can keep this gorgeous Houdini safe and happy .. if you would send Jazz an email .. she would be so grateful for the chance to be your pet .. preference given to people with escape artist experience .. please be prepared to have your yard inspected.

Hi I am JIM .. I am very fit and healthy and still have plenty of living to do .. my family parted and decided they did not want me anymore which makes me sad .. I loved them very much.

I do n0t know why they abandoned me as I am so loving and such a very good boy .. I am good with dogs of all sizes and I have even gotten used to my carer's cat! .. I love going for rides in the car and I sit very quietly.

I also love the water! I know basic obedience and am always ready to shake hands too! Most of all I love people and just want to be with you.

I am house trained and sleep inside at night and never make a mess or a noise .. my carer says I break her heart the way I gaze at her so lovingly.

I would suit an active retiree or even a family with kids of any age .. I just do not like to be left alone for long .. I am such a sweet and gentle soul.

Will someone give me a second chance at life?

Hi my name is TAZZIE .. I am a still a pup so I love my cuddles and exploring new things.

My carer says I am a cute little girl who is a bit of a sook.

Tazzi would love to be an inside girl and given half the chance would love to jump on the couch to snuggle up and watch TV with you.

I am ready to go to my new home and would love to have a family with kids and another dogs to keep me company and play with me all day.

'Cause I am still a pup and have lots more growing to do I will need a home with a yard to play in with suitable fencing for my protection.

Hi my name is REGGIE and I am a very fit fellow .. I was originally a member of the Best Friends Rescue family and was adopted out a few years ago and then I ended back at the pound and I am not sure why.

I did find out that my previous owners did not change over my microchip .. maybe they did not care about me enough; so lucky for me that I am back with my Best Friends Rescue family and am currently being well looked after until I find my new forever home.

I am very athletic looking and handsome as you can see from my photo's .. I do however love to be close to my humans and sit with you to watch TV after a hard day's play .. so would like to be an inside/outside boy.

I am reasonably tolerant of other dogs as long as they do not jump all over me I am happy to play and socialise with them .. I have not had much exposure to cats so I do not know whether I like them or not but you can always teach me.

I love good walks and runs and just pleasing you .. I have some basic obedience training but can always use some more .. if you would like to meet me please contact Wendy.

Reggie will be ready for adoption by the End of August 2010 but Wendy is taking enquiries now.

BONNIE is the delightful old darling Bonnie .. don not let her age fool you Bonnie is very healthy and fit and just a delight to have around.

She gets along with everyone and kids of all ages love her as she loves them .. Bonnie would make a fantastic companion to a lonely older person/couple as she is very low maintenance and has a very happy disposition.

Her carers think shes a terrific lady with loads of personality and good qualities and a ready smile for everyone.

If you think you can provide Bonnie with a nice home to spend her twilight years in comfort and care then please call to make arrangements to meet her.

My name is OLLIE .. I am a very happy dog who enjoys the company of other dogs but am also quite happy to be by myself .. I enjoy being outside and inside when I am invited.

I am just a young boy and am still a bit shy but am eager to please and in just one night I learnt how to sit .. I am a very intelligent boy which shows through in my mixture of breeds.

I love lots of cuddles and playtime .. I am great on the lead and am learning new tricks everyday .. I had not been toilet trained but am already nearly there .. I am so clever that I learnt to sit in one night.

I am just waiting for my new family to teach me new things so I can reward them by showing them what a good boy I am .. I love to play and fetch my ball .. I am great in the car and am just waiting for my new forever family to pick me up and take me home.

Kiss me!
When ROXXI sees you coming she gets ready to do her favorite thing in the world .. GIVE KISSES! .. she is a gorgeous Staffy mix .. cute face that is extra expressive.

And really Roxxi is all about getting the love .. she even loves to be loved while she playing and will accept pats all day long .. she loves sleeping inside and is housetrained.

Roxxi does have some history that makes her special needs though .. her foster family had some trouble with her showing aggression in some situations .. mainly food and toy but she is sorting this out and continues to learn ..

Roxxi would love to be in a home where she is busy and active and attends puppy school and maybe even agility .. she would be a great jogging partner and this lifestyle suits her the most and make her happy .. which would make you happy.

She would love to go home to an adult family where she could give kisses for the rest of her days .. Do you think it will ever happen for this beauty?

Take me away! Reassure me! Cuddle me! Please!

LUCY is the sweetest dog with the lowest self-esteem and is still young born in 2009.

Somehow Lucy got the idea that nobody's going to like her and she is nervous about it all the time .. Lucy is too young to have given up on herself!

When you are with Lucy she is stand offish and needs to get used to you first .. Lucy thinks everyone is out to hurt her .. she has been hurt before .. it is hard .. she needs time.

Lucy is curious .. huggable .. kissable and so desperate for your love .. she just needs someone to reassure her that everything is going to be OK. and also

Her new family need to take some precautions to make sure she does not get scared and run away .. they must be very interested in her rehabilitation to help her with her fear and stranger nipping.

Lucy seems to be doing just fine with other dogs and we know she would work like crazy to fit into a new home if she ever had that chance .. Take a chance on Lucy .. she is worth it.
