Zalah proved to be very popular indeed, but the lucky ones to take her home were Helen & Phill and their Husky boy, Noah. Our thanks go once again to the wonderful Robaldo family who have fostered quite a few dogs for us now. Happy furrytail ending, Zalah! Once upon a time there was a fair maiden, her eyes as blue as the brightest of summer day skies, yet her complexion as white as the newly fallen snow in the middle of the coldest winter. She was what you might call a contra

Yep, you guessed it...another story of a foster dog who settled in so well that he's become a permanent member of the pack! Ash & Coral and their Husky boys, Ari & Floki have completed their family with the addition of Quincy. Happy furrytail ending, Quincy!

Marley had quite a difficult time finding a foster home, but when he finally did, he decided that it would be the last home he'd ever have. He was determined to make his foster Mum, Mieke fall head over heels for him...and that's exactly what he did, soon after walking through her door. She was powerless against his handsome Akita charms! Thank you to Marley's sponsors, Alice Springs Nursery. He celebrates his new start to life with a new name, Ma'ni. Happy furrytail endin
