Keen to share their love with their new families, these six pooches are among several dozens who currently live at the dog shelter and are hopeful of finding their own home.

Fergus, the Jack Russell Terrier
Energised and joyful, six-year-old Fergus loves his long rural walks where he can run wild and be a true adventurous explorer.
Fergus is exceptionally friendly and will love his new family unconditionally, always greeting them with a smile and a joyful wiggle.
While preferring a quiet home with a calm atmosphere, the terrier loves attention from people he loves.
Gregor, the Shar-Pei
The five-year-old Shar-Pei boasts a "wonderful personality" and is known to be a great companion.
While needing some time to get to know new people, Gregor loves to play, walk and explore. He is house-trained and can pick up a new routine quickly. The adorable pooch is also pretty independent and can happily play or relax by himself.
Bear, the Patterdale Terrier
The three-year-old gentle female terrier is looking for a devoted family to share all her love with. Bear is sweet and calm and knows plenty of tricks she will show off for a yummy treat.
Bear is house-trained and enjoys car travels. While she can get concerned with other dogs nearby, Bear will make an ideal companion for a family with no other pets who enjoy secluded walks and the wider outdoors.
Brooke, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Brooke is 11 years old and very intelligent and polite - she is always mindful when interacting with others and can happily live in a family with children of 14 years and older.
Brooke boasts a fun and loving personality and is known to be a very smart lady who knows plenty of tricks to keep you entertained.
Mia, the Akita
Mia is a seven-year-old Akita cross who is great with people - including children aged ten and above - once she gets to know them.
While she is not yet trained to travel in a car, Mia enjoys local walks and would love to have a garden in her new home to play around in and enjoy sunny days. Mia loves the attention she gets at her temporary foster home and would make a perfect family pet dog.
Oliver, the Yorkshire Terrier
The 4-year-old Yorkshire Terrier is not a lap dog and likes to be active, playing around and enjoying himself outdoors.
Preferring a rural area with lots of opportunities to investigate and explore, Oliver possesses a truly adventurous spirit. He also loves learning and practising new tricks and will fit perfectly into a family with the same love for active and adventurous pastimes.
