Duchess is a gorgeous one-year-old girl who is full of personality and love! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’—

She absolutely loves to smooch โ€” whether itโ€™s you, her favourite things, or anything she happens to wander past! Sheโ€™s a little explorer who loves to stroll around and investigate her surroundings.

At first sheโ€™s not necessarily the type to curl up on your lap for hours, sheโ€™ll happily come to you when she wants some love and attention. She has a beautiful independent streak, but underneath it is a girl who really wants to feel loved, safe and special.

Duchess will thrive in a loving home where she can receive plenty of one-on-one attention, affection and care. A home where she can truly be the centre of someoneโ€™s world would be perfect for this sweet girl.

If youโ€™re looking for a loving, playful and quirky little companion who will happily come looking for you when sheโ€™s ready for some affection, she could be your perfect mat

Name: Faith

Gender: Female

Breed: Staffordshire terrier

Estimated Adult Size: Medium to large - already weighs in at over 6kg ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

๐ŸŽ‚ DOB: 25/06/2026 (14 weeks)

๐Ÿฑ Cats: Untested

๐Ÿถ Dogs: Faith would love a fur sibling, she can be timid at first and slow introductions are a must but once she got to know them Faith has enjoyed running around the backyard with her foster families two older resident staffies and keeps up well.

๐Ÿง’ Children: Has met children of varied ages and interacted well. Typical puppy behaviours such as nipping and jumping would need to be monitored and older kids that have experience with energetic dog breeds are probably best suited.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Energy Level: High โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ“Œ Location: Hampton Park

๐Ÿ†” Microchip: 956000019539214

Faith and her siblings joined the rescue after a difficult start to life. Their mum Piper, now also in care, was on her 4th litter at not even 2 years old and her 6th home. Unfortunately our understanding is that their mum Piper fell pregnant to a sibling dog however so far the impacts of this on the pups has seemed minimal (see medical notes). When the pups entered the rescue they were all underweight and had been living off a diet of full cream cows milk and home brand adult dog biscuits, the owner who surrendered them was doing their best but it was clear these pups needed our help. Now much healthier and ready for a forever family to call their own ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’œ

Health/ Medical:
Faith and her siblings may have increased health considerations due to their genetic background.

Faith alongside her siblings is also prone to skin issues being a blue staffie and can get pretty itchy. Oatmeal washes and specialist anti itch washes can help with this.

Faith and her siblings were desexed on Tuesday 29th and seem to be recovering well though will need a post op check in as well as final vaccination in 1-2 weeks from the time of her desexing.

Personality & Play:
Faith is a shy girl at first and takes a little bit of time to warm up to people and other pets but once she has, Faith has got nothing but love to give and loves a snuggle. Faith will happily entertain herself but when it comes time to crash her favourite thing is cuddling up to you and being the little spoon. Once Faith comes out of her shell her true personality shines and she has played really well with her resident sibling dogs.

Dog Interactions:
Faith has met several dogs so far including her two resident sister dogs that she gets along with well and has never shown any signs of aggression other than when rough housing with her litter mates.

Routine & Training:
Faith has shown good recall and will respond when called, she is learning to master sit however needs to be reminded at times as she is just so excited to see you! Like her sisters anything involving food will win her heart in an instant. She would also benefit from a resident dog to help mentor her in her learnings but again slow and steady introductions are a must.

House & Toilet Training:
Faith is very good at using her puppy pads in the puppy pen and will go to the toilet outside when given the opportunity. Like all staffies she loves a good chew and would benefit from various staffy appropriate chew toys to prevent her exploring the house in search of her own (recently sheโ€™s decided slippers are a fun toy ๐Ÿ˜‚).

Ideal Home:
A committed and loving family that recognises fur babies are just as much a member of our family as our human loved ones. Faith has shown good progress in her confidence with other dogs but provided she had a family that dote on her as she will them, she would also be suited to a home without an existing pet. Older kids that are confident with high energy dog breeds are best suited.

๐Ÿก๐ŸถAVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION๐Ÿถ๐Ÿก

Name: Lara

Gender: Female

Breed: Staffordshire terrier

Estimated Adult Size: Medium to large - already weighs in at nearly 7kg ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

๐ŸŽ‚ DOB: 25/06/2026 (14 weeks)

๐Ÿฑ Cats: Untested

๐Ÿถ Dogs: Lara is all about her people and after being bitten by a older resident staffy in her first foster home, Lara would probably prefer a family without existing pets

๐Ÿง’ Children: Has met children of varied ages and interacted well. Typical puppy behaviours such as nipping and jumping would need to be monitored and older kids that have experience with energetic dog breeds are probably best suited. Lara does tend to wake up slowly from naps and has gotten irritable with visiting children who have tried to wake her up prematurely.

๐Ÿ“Œ Location: Hampton Park

๐Ÿ†” Microchip: 956000019415709

Lara and her siblings joined the rescue after a difficult start to life. Their mum Piper, now also in care, was on her 4th litter at not even 2 years old and her 6th home. Unfortunately our understanding is that their mum Piper fell pregnant to a sibling dog however so far the impacts of this on the pups has seemed minimal (see medical notes). When the pups entered the rescue they were all underweight and had been living off a diet of full cream cows milk and home brand adult dog biscuits, the owner who surrendered them was doing their best but it was clear these pups needed our help. Now much healthier and ready for a forever family to call their own ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’œ

Health/ Medical:
Lara and her siblings may have increased health considerations due to their genetic background.

Lara was bitten by an older resident dog when she first came into the rescue and since then has been treated with antibiotics and her wounds are largely healed. She later developed a seroma (a pocket of fluid) on her chest which had to be drained at the vet and it has since improved. During a vet visit Lara had bloods and all her levels were in range.

Lara alongside her siblings is also prone to skin issues being a blue staffie and can get pretty itchy. Oatmeal washes and specialist anti itch washes can help with this.

Lara and her siblings were desexed on Tuesday 29th and seem to be recovering well though will need a post op check in as well as final vaccination in 1-2 weeks from the time of her desexing.

Personality & Play:
Lara is either in cuddle bug mode or absolute zoomies, there is no in between. She loves to explore and has figured out how to turn most pieces of furniture in the backyard into an obstacle to conquer. Laraโ€™s favourite time of any day is breakfast lunch or dinner as well as any other time that could possibly involve a snack. She does tend to make herself sick eating too quickly and a slow feed bowl would help with this. Lara is a wood chomper and has taken a liking to various timber around the home including the dining table and skirting boards so chew toys will be your saving grace and she will need consistent training to prevent this continuing.

Dog Interactions:
Lara has met several dogs so far including her two resident sister dogs that she gets along with well and has never shown any signs of aggression other than when rough housing with her litter mates however after being bitten while in care slow and gentle introductions are an absolute must.

Routine & Training:
Lara has shown good recall and will respond when called, she is learning to master sit however needs to be reminded at times as she is just so excited to see you! Like her sisters anything involving food will win her heart in an instant.

House & Toilet Trained:
Lara is very good at using her puppy pads in the puppy pen and will go to the toilet outside when given the opportunity. Worth noting that you need to be quick to collect her droppings or she will definitely eat them, possibly a result of poor nutrition in her early life where she didnโ€™t have proper access to food. Like all staffies she loves a good chew and would benefit from various staffy appropriate chew toys to prevent her exploring the house in search of her own, she has already learnt that skirting boards are very nice to chomp on.

Ideal Home:
A committed and loving family that recognises fur babies are just as much a member of our family as our human loved ones. Lara tends to get quite anxious and sooky when spending long periods of time alone or unsupervised and prefers to be glued to your hip whenever possible. A family who work limited hours or even works from home would be ideal for Lara to help her overcome her anxiety. She is best suited to families with older children that are familiar with high energy dog breeds and is probably best suited to a family without exisiting dogs after being bitten at 12 weeks old.

Name: Oddette (AKA Oddie)

Gender: Female

Breed: Staffordshire terrier

Estimated Adult Size: Medium to large - already weighs in at over 7kg ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

๐ŸŽ‚ DOB: 25/06/2026 (14 weeks)

๐Ÿฑ Cats: Untested

๐Ÿถ Dogs: Oddie would love a fur sibling, preferably one with lots of energy and a big backyard to share with her!

๐Ÿง’ Children: Has met children of varied ages and interacted well. Typical puppy behaviours such as nipping and jumping would need to be monitored and older kids that have experience with energetic dog breeds are probably best suited.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Energy Level: High โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ“Œ Location: Hampton Park

๐Ÿ†” Microchip:

Oddie and her siblings joined the rescue after a difficult start to life. Their mum Piper, now also in care, was on her 4th litter at not even 2 years old and her 6th home. Unfortunately our understanding is that their mum Piper fell pregnant to a sibling dog however so far the impacts of this on the pups has seemed minimal (see medical notes). When the pups entered the rescue they were all underweight and had been living off a diet of full cream cows milk and home brand adult dog biscuits, the owner who surrendered them was doing their best but it was clear these pups needed our help. Now much healthier and ready for a forever family to call their own ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’œ

Health/ Medical:
Oddie and her siblings may have increased health considerations due to their genetic background.

Oddie has been identified as having an underbite which is causing two of her teeth to grow in a direction that is causing minor injury to the top of her mouth. Her vet has suggested this may be due to her heritage and has advised to follow up on this at around 20 weeks of age to ensure the puppy teeth have made way for the adult teeth to come through and ensure further damage isnโ€™t being caused.

Oddie alongside her siblings is also prone to skin issues being a blue staffie and can get pretty itchy. Oatmeal washes and specialist anti itch washes can help with this.

Oddie and her siblings were desexed on Tuesday 29th and seem to be recovering well though will need a post op check in as well as final vaccination in 1-2 weeks from the time of her desexing.

Personality & Play:
Oddie will be your very own ninja warrior and has proved herself as the ultimate escape artist outsmarting all three of our puppy pen upgrades with the current over a meter in height and she is still able to scale it so solid fencing is a must! Having said that once she is out her main priority is finding her person and going to sleep right next to you. She has managed to escape the pen many times while I was at work and only ever curled up on the couch for a nap once she was free. I think Oddie would make a great best friend for a tradie or similar looking for a furfriend to join them on the job. Oddie is also full of beans with high energy and loves running around the backyard at full speed and chasing her sisters as she goes so another resident dog is something sheโ€™d definitely appreciate.

Dog Interactions:
Oddie has met several dogs so far including her two resident sister dogs that she gets along with well and has never shown any signs of aggression other than when rough housing with her litter mates.

Routine & Training:
Oddie has shown good recall and will respond when called, she is learning to master sit however needs to be reminded at times as she is just so excited to see you! Like her sisters anything involving food will win her heart in an instant. She would also benefit from a resident dog to help mentor her in her learnings.

House & Toilet Trained:
Oddie is very good at using her puppy pads in the puppy pen and will go to the toilet outside when given the opportunity. As mentioned when she has escaped the pen if she has a pad available to her in the main house she will still usually opt for this rather than the carpets! Like all staffies she loves a good chew and would benefit from various staffy appropriate chew toys to prevent her exploring the house in search of her own!

Ideal Home:
A committed and loving family that recognises fur babies are just as much a member of our family as our human loved ones. Oddie is the ultimate sidekick and if given the opportunity will make herself at home by your side at all times. She would be best suited to a home with another high energy dog for her to play with and older kids that are confident with high energy dog breeds. Oddie would struggle with long periods of time on her own and would prefer a family that makes her a part of the adventure too.

Photos from FurKids Rescue's post 30/09/2026

An incubator (Brooder) is something o have always wanted for our rescue but the cost has just been too far to reach. Today that has changed.
To have a piece of equipment like this is a game changer for our neo kittens. As you can see we already have two souls needing this equipment.
Both kittens have a head wobble which suggests issues with their brain. These are two out of a litter of 6. One more kitten has a wobble from this litter too.
We will do everything we can to support these babies.

๐Ÿก๐Ÿถ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿก

Name: Noah
Gender: Male
Breed: Staffy X
Estimated Adult Size: Medium
๐ŸŽ‚ DOB: 13/07/2026
๐Ÿฑ Cats: Untested
๐Ÿถ Dogs: Great โ€” currently living with dogs of various sizes
๐Ÿ‘ง Children: Yes, with supervision โ€” Noah is still a young, teething puppy
๐Ÿƒ Energy Level: Moderate
๐Ÿ“Œ Location: Pakenham 3810
๐Ÿ†” Microchip: 991003003263843

Meet our sweet love bug, Noah! ๐Ÿ’™ Noah came into care alongside his sister, Raine, after the pair found themselves in a rural NSW pound. Since making the journey to Victoria, Noah has settled beautifully into foster care and is now ready to find his forever home.

Personality & Play:
Noah is an affectionate, happy little guy with a seriously goofy streak. He has that unmistakable big baby personality; slightly uncoordinated and endlessly curious.

Despite his goofy exterior, heโ€™s also an incredibly loving boy. He enjoys being involved with his people, loves affection and is very food motivated. Food is taken extremely seriously in Noahโ€™s world. Heโ€™s playful, cheeky, and once the excitement is over, heโ€™s more than happy to settle in and enjoy some love.

Dog Interactions:
Noah is fantastic with other dogs and has been living alongside dogs of all different sizes in foster care. He particularly loves canine company.

Moderate Energy:
Noah has a lovely moderate energy level. He enjoys playing, exploring and interacting with the other dogs, but heโ€™s equally happy slowing things down and spending time with his humans. Like any growing puppy, heโ€™ll benefit from daily play, enrichment and age-appropriate exercise.

Routine & Training:
Noah is very food motivated, which makes training with him incredibly rewarding. He has already learned to sit before his meals and is showing himself to be a clever little boy who is eager to learn. He will need a family willing to continue his training, socialisation and routine as he grows.

House & Toilet Trained:
Noah is doing well with his toilet training when he has regular access to outside. Being a young puppy, he may still have the occasional accident and will need his new family to continue reinforcing good toilet habits.

Manners & Leash Work:
Noah hasnโ€™t had much experience walking on lead yet, so this will be something for his new family to introduce and continue working on.

He is also still teething and learning his puppy manners, so patience, consistency and positive reinforcement will help him grow into a beautifully mannered adult.

Noah travels well in the car but should be appropriately restrained while he continues learning that he doesnโ€™t belong on the drivers seat.

Ideal Home:
Noah would love a home where he can be included as part of the family and continue receiving the training, socialisation and enrichment every young dog needs.

A friendly canine companion would be a lovely bonus given how much he enjoys other dogs, provided they are appropriately matched and introduced.

Most importantly, Noah needs a family ready for everything that comes with raising a puppy โ€” the fun, the training, the cheekiness and plenty of cuddles. In return, theyโ€™ll get a gorgeous, goofy little mate with so much love to give. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿก DAISY HAS BEEN ADOPTED! ๐Ÿก๐ŸŒผ

Beautiful Daisy has officially found her forever home! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ

Daisy has absolutely loved her time with her foster family and, along the way, has become a very special companion to their resident blind Kelpie x girl, Mia. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’•

At around 15 months old, Mia and Daisy are almost the same size โ€” and these two have formed the sweetest friendship.

Every morning around 6am, Mia makes her way into Daisyโ€™s basket and simply plonks herself either on top of or beside Daisy for a little morning sleep. And Daisy? She doesnโ€™t mind one little bit! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’•

Then, every evening after dinner, itโ€™s time to RUN! The two of them race up and down the hallway, having the absolute time of their lives. With Miaโ€™s huge bed, blankets and pillows at one end, it has become their very own little playground! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿพ

What makes this even more special is that Mia wasnโ€™t particularly interested in our previous foster pupโ€ฆ but Daisy was different. โค๏ธ

Sometimes, the perfect friendship just happens โ€” and Daisy and Mia have found theirs. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿพ

We couldnโ€™t be happier to see Daisy stay with the family who has loved and cared for her, and to know she has a best friend waiting for her every morning and every evening.

๐ŸŒผ Happy forever, beautiful Daisy! ๐ŸŒผ
