Welcome to the Armidale Companion Animal Shelter Website

On this website, you will find the faces and details of animals who are currently in need of a safe and loving home. Some of these animals have been surrendered, others found lost or having been abandoned. Now they are seeking a person, couple, or family who would like to enrich their lives and learn from our wonderful animal companions.

The Companion Animal Shelter often has both dogs and cats available who are looking for a loving home. Please watch this website for regular updates and photos of your future best friend. For details regarding registration fees, microchiping, and equipment sales and hire, please visit the Armidale Dumaresq Council website at : http://www.armidale.nsw.gov.au/council/128842/1064.html

Every effort is undertaken to place animals with suitable forever homes but it is necessary at times to make the decision that placement is not responsible or may refuse an adoption that is not in the best interest of the animal.

Enquiries can be forwarded to Phill Evans via the following:

Lulu

This is Lulu, surrendered by her previous owner because they felt she did not get on well with their other pets. Lulu is just over 1 year old and it's believed she has some asian breeding in her background, maybe Abyssinian. She has been getting some extra nutrition of late and has responded well after initially being quite reserved. She is now looking for her forever home.

Poppy

Poppy and Kez came into the shelter separately about 3 days apart. Kez had recently whelped. There is a very strong likelihood that they are mum and pup. In any case Kez fed Poppy, who was around 6 weeks old, which helped her with her milk as well as helping Poppy with her weaning.
Kez has an adoption in place and is waiting until next week when she will will go into her new home. By that time little Poppy will be ready to go as well. If Poppy grows into half the dog her mum is she will be very special.

Chuckie

CHUCKIE'S IN LOVE..... WITH A NEW FAMILY ON A PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF URALLA WHERE HE'LL HAVE THE CHANCE TO WORK SHEEP IF THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. 

Chuckie is such a pretty dog. He's a male Kelpie & Labrador type mixed breed dog and is only 5 months old. He's already as sharp as a whip though. His coat seems to be all he inherited from his Labrador parent though as his body shape and instincts are pure Kelpie. He'd make a great working dog (he's alert to stock and shows great instinct) or agility home. He would fit into a domestic situation too though he will need exercise and training to succeed there.














Chief



UPDATE: 12/4   Chief has a new home in Armidale.

Chief was surrendered here today by his breeder. The last of 5 pups to his Labrador type mixed breed mother. He saw all his litter mates go to new homes and now at 12 weeks of age he finds himself here. He is very quiet and reserved but I'm sure that will change over time it's just that at the moment he feels very unloved. I think if you are interested you should be very quick as he won't last long I'm sure.





Clay

Clay is now with an RSPCA carer. For more details on how to adopt Clay contact the Armidale RSPCA Branch on Mobile: 0412 217 364
Clay is probably a son from Red (below). They were found together at the Fossicking area at Uralla and it seems that they have been abandoned there. They hung around the area for a few days before someone living locally brought them here. He is less Cattledog looking than his dad and looks a little more like a Kelpie, less the legs which are quite short.
Clay is around 4 months old. He's a happy little dog but stresses a little when separated from his dad however we'll work on that now that he's available for adoption.




Bindi

Bindi's going to live in Uralla! Give her a pat if you see her going for a walk with her new owners.

Bindi is a shy little abandoned Terrier type mixed breed dog. At least she was.........now she is a party girl, just bursting with fun and games. She is approximately 6 months old and came to us as a stray and was not reclaimed. She can still be a little shy when first approached but is quickly realising that not everyone is going to mistreat her. She could be just what you are looking for!






Tull

Tully has found a new home at Hillgrove - Good luck Tully
Tull (Jethro- of course) is a male, 10 month old Terrier type mixed breed dog. He was surrendered by his owner whose new employment situation made it difficult for him to spend enough time with him. He is quite shy at first but outrageous fun when he gets to knows you. He needs someone who will love and care for him.




Charo

Charo has found a wonderful new home with Sue at Daruka near Tamworth. 

This is Charo a Chihuahua type mixed breed dog. Charo is female and around 6 months old. Slightly larger than a purebred Chihuahua but still pocket sized. Happy and outgoing she wouldn't take up much space either! If you are looking for a little dog for a companion I'd recommend you come and meet her......quickly. 






Buddy

Buddy has found a fresh start in Mango Hill  north of Brisbane. Take care Buddyboy! - and don't forget your roots come State of Origin time

This is beautiful Buddy the Boxer who is just one year old. He has lived with children and is great with them. He also loves other dogs. He's a bit of a clown of course but a lovable one for sure. For a boxer he's very mature for his age and he has a full tail.

Milo


UPDATE 22/2  Milo has found a new family to call his own in Armidale. 

How cute is Milo. He's a Mary Poppins dog, practically perfect in every way. He's quiet, playful, loving and cute. Someone will be very lucky to have him. He's a 3 year old Poodle type dog, apricot in colour. 






Little Trick



Update 22/2 Little Trick is going to be living in Armidale!

Little Trick is a baby, around 9 weeks old. He's a Jack Russell type mixed breed puppy. He is happy and playful but a little intimidated by the sound of the big dogs here. He'll make a wonderful pet for someone.
