Hi my name is Tyson. I am a social, playful boy who is responsive and active. I am strong and pull hard on lead, so may need a halti to walk with.

I like other dogs, however do not like cats or rabbits (pocket pets).

I need an active family to keep me happy and healthy.

Blake first came to the Kempsey RSPCA as a puppy in 2005 as the victim of a hit and run. Like many of the hit and run victims that come to the RSPCA, it was a number of days before a concerned individual alerted us to Blake's plight and he was provided with veterinary treatment. Blake underwent surgery to remove the head of the femur in his rear right leg which had been fractured in his accident.

After making a full recovery, Blake found a new home, however due to their lifestyle, his new family were unable to meet Blake's exercise requirements and he was recently re-surrendered. Blake is now looking for his FOREVER home.

A truly lovable lad, Blake has a extremely friendly, playful, outgoing personality ... and adores people and attention. Like all young dogs, he has lots of energy and loves to run and play with his doggie friends. Consequently, Blake has excellent social skills with other canines and would make a wonderful companion to another playful pooch.

He is house-trained, loves going for walks, rides in the car and hang out around the house, so he would be equally suited to a sole-animal household provided his exercise needs were met (minimum 45 minute walk per day required).

NOTE: Blake is not suitable for a home with cats. He is also terrified of storms and needs to be confined inside during these occurences.

Jed came to the Kempsey RSPCA as a pound puppy. He was originally picked up on the road, with no microchip or ID, by a Kempsey RSPCA member. Being a beautiful boy, we held him for 24 hours confident someone would come looking for him. They didnt! So as required under the Companion Animals Act, Jed was sent to the local pound as a public stray to 'do his time'. 7 days later, Jed's time had run out.

How anyone could 'abandon' this beautiful brown eyed boy is impossible to fathom ... we certainly couldnt! Behind the mischievous eyes and the cheeky grin, Jed is simply the kindest, gentlest, most lovable lad you could find. A BIG puppy with a big heart, Jed is a soft, smoochie boy who loves to give and get affection.

Due to his gentle nature, Jed has excellent social skills with other animals (both 2 and 4 legged) ... and like all puppies (regardless of size) he loves to play. Consequently, he would make a wonderful companion to another canine.

Jed has commenced his obedience and house-training, and would be a wonderful addition to any (sole animal included) loving home prepared to continue his puppy pre-schooling and meet his longer term exercise and companionship needs.

Jed is obedient, well-mannered and house-trained. He would be a wonderful addition to any (sole animal included) loving home prepared to give him lots of cuddles/companionship and a place on the couch. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

I will suit a loving, fit active family who are looking for an affectionate happy bouncy dog with loads of personality. I need a family who is committed to ongoing daily obedience training and socialisation with different dogs & people. I can not go home with kids under 12 years as I can be very boisterous and charge about in play. I am quite strong on lead also. It is recommended I do not go to a home with cats but if we are kept seperate it should be ok. I need an experienced owner who will do lots of work with me.

I need an owner who is understanding loving & patient, people who are committed to & understands the importance of daily obedience training. I can be timid and anxious when I first meet people and I'm worried when people reach over my head. I will need a fit active.I am a working breed and have a huge reserve of energy I need to burn. I will need twice daily walks, plus active play time chasing the tennis ball, soccer balls & I love soft toys. For those times when you have to go out & I'm home alone then you will need to give me treat balls and other toys that will help to keep me mentally stimulated. I love meeting new doggy friends. I am excitable social & very playful & enjoy a rumble. If I am to go to a home with a doggy friend it is important that you bring them into the shelter first so we can meet before you make you final decision. No Kids under 6 years. If your children are confident around dogs, sensible and gentle then bring them into the shelter to meet with me firs.I can be timid and anxious when I first meet people.

Lotti came to the Kempsey RSPCA after being surrendered by her previous owner as 1 of an unwanted litter.

Lotti is a gorgeous girl with a friendly, outgoing personality and a very gentle soul. She has an incredibly affectionate nature ... so if you dont like licky dogs, then Lotti is definitely not the girl for you! Whilst hanging out with the humans is high of her list of priorities, playing with her puppy/pooch pals is also a favourite past-time ... and due to her sweet nature, Lotti has excellent social skills with other animals of all shapes and sizes. As such, she would make a lovely (and loving) companion to 2 and/or 4 legged animals.

Lotti has commenced her obedience training and with the aid of cheese, cabanossi and cocktail frankfurts, has become a quick learner :) She is loves going for walks, rides in the car and snoozing inside.

Lotti is obedience, well-mannered and would be a wonderful addition to any loving home prepared to continue herpuppy pre-schooling and meet her longer term exercises and particularly, companionship needs.

Lotti comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $190. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

Jason came to us as a kitten (after his mother was killed by a car). He is now a big boy, still looking for that special home. He shows lots of affection and enjoys playing with toys.

Jason is dog friendly and would be a great companion to a family (huan) that has a dog. He 'talks' to people and says 'here I am' in cat language.

Jason wants a home where he will have no outdoor access at night.

Jason comes immunised, desexed and microchipped for $140. Please contact Carol at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 4260

Glen is a quiet, gentle boy who mixes very well with other cats and is dog friendly.

He enjoys lying in the sun, playing with toys and having girls (feline friends) groom him. Lucky boy!

Glen would make a great companion for a dog or another cat.

He needs a home where he will have no outdoor access at night.

I will suit a loving, fit active family who are looking for an affectionate happy bouncy dog with loads of personality.

I need a family who is committed to ongoing daily obedience training socialisation with different dogs & people.

My owners must be experienced with large/active dogs and enroll me into training classes. I can not go to a home with cats or pocket pets as I will chase them. I must have continual socialisation with other dogs.

Sticks is an affectionate and alert boy. He is calm and gentle and very social with people. He is social with other dogs but does not interact in a great deal of play.

If you have another dog you will need to bring them in to meet Sticks. He can not go to a home with cats/pocket pets or small dogs as he has a high chase instinct. By law when out in public Sticks will need to wear an approved caged muzzle.

I am an active, alert girl who will be best suited to a home looking for an affectionate playful dog. I will need you to spend time with me every day doing activities like walking me, playing with me and just hanging out with me at home.

I will be okay at home with kids but if you do have children please bring them into the shelter to meet me before making your final decision.

I can be fussy with who my dog friends are here in the shelter so if you do have a dog at home you MUST bring them in to meet me before taking me home. I also will chase pocket pets so can not go to a home that contains pocket pets.

I am a quiet and timid girl who needs to go to a quiet calm home with a routine environment. I am very people orientated and would need to go to a home where I could be both an inside and outside dog. I will require solid 5 ft fencing made from either pailings or coloubond with no footholds for me to climb on. There should be no gaps or holes for me to escape from. I love to be around people so when you are at home I would love to be where you are. I will need you to spend time walking me, playing with me and just hanging out with me either outside or in the house with you.I can be a little unsure with overhead movements and a little timid + submssive at times therefore I can not go to a home with children under 8. If you do have children over 8 please bring them into the shelter to meet me before making your final decision. I would prefer to be the only dog at home as I am not very social with other dogs here in the shelter. If you do have a dog at home please bring them in to meet me before taking me home. I also can not go to a home with cats as I may chase them.

Kirk is an affectionate playful young dog. He can be a little shy at first, especially when meeting new large dogs. He needs someone who has the time to take him to group training, and help him gain confidence. He must meet any dogs of the household before going to live with them. He needs a calm home where the people are experienced with dogs. He needs to go home with a family that do not have any children under the age of 10 years. He came to the shelter with his sister Joy so if you are interested in 2 dogs, then please consider these 2 together.

Baby Bear came to the Kempsey RSPCA after being removed from his previous owner due to malnourishment and neglect as a puppy. But whilst the bad start initially left him small in stature (hence his name) ... time, tucker and TLC has seen Baby Bear grown into a big, beautiful boy. Baby Bear can be summed up in two words ... adorable and exuberant!

He has an incredibly affectionate nature and a pure joy for life ... he basically loves everyone and everything ... and is particularly partial to 'bear-hugging' his 2 legged foster mum. He also adores the company of other pooches and playing with them is definitely one of his greatest pleasures in life. As such, he is highly suited to a home where he will not only receive oodles of love and attention, but one where he will have the enjoyment and companionship of a 4 legged friend.

He would be equally suited to a sole animal household looking for a lovable lad to share their love, lounge and life with. Baby Bear is house-trained and has commenced his obedience training, however will benefit from continued training with a new owner.

NOTE: Due to his exuberance, Baby Bear is currently not suited to a home with small children ... he only wants to play but he's too big and boofy :)

Baby Bear comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $220. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.

Rosie came to the Kempsey RSPCA as an injured stray. Once in care, she required treatment for a leg injury (relatively minor - just sore and swollen) and also had entropian surgery on both her eyes. Where she came from, how she received her leg injury and why she wasnt claimed is unknown. What we do know about Rosie is ... she's absolutely adorable!

A little dog with a BIG personality. Rosie adores people and craves attention (she loves to be kissed, cuddled and generally 'fussed' over) ... and quite simply, just loves to loved. Whilst she plays and interacts well with other dogs, Rosie's passion is people. As such, Rosie longs for a home where she will be the centre of attention and get all the love and attention she deserves (and craves). She is a true canine companion and as such, is highly suited to an older single person or couple looking for a devoted little dog to be their constant companion.

Rosie is house-trained however needs inside/outside access ie. dog-door/open-door.

NOTE: We suspect that Rosie has been abused in the past, as she will cringe and wee herself in certain situations, primarily when meeting some strangers (usually men) and if there is yelling/raised/harsh voices (once again usually male) in immediate proximity to her. However, with those she knows and loves, she is every bit as cheeky as her picture indicates :)

Rosie comes immunised, desexed and microchipped with an annual heartworm injection for $220. Please contact Marguerite at Kempsey RSPCA on (02) 6562 1554.
