S*x: Male
Breed: Am-Staff
Age: 5 yrs
Adoption fee: $150

If you're after a dog who will keep you smiling, T. Bone is ready to steal your heart! This loving, affectionate boy is happiest when he's soaking up attention, enjoying a good belly rub, or tearing around the yard doing his signature zoomies.

T. Bone is a fun-loving goofball who gets excited about life and can be a little silly at times. He'd thrive with a family who appreciates his playful personality and can continue teaching him good manners while giving him plenty of love and enrichment.

Because of his enthusiasm, T. Bone would be best suited to a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand that sometimes he gets a little carried away with his excitement.

T. Bone could also do well with the right canine companion following a successful meet and greet. He can sometimes be a little full-on and a bit rude when meeting other dogs, so he'll need a confident, tolerant playmate who matches his energy.

Could T. Bone be the missing piece of your family? Come in and meet this handsome boy today! 🤎

Want to meet T. Bone but already have a dog at home? Please bring your resident dog along for a meet and greet to see if they're the perfect match!

🐾 Meet Rodger Roo! 🦘❤️

Council reference number: IMP-26-00925
S*x: Male
Breed: Cattle Dog
Age: 2-3 yrs
Adoption fee: $150

If you're looking for a dog who will love you with his whole heart, Rodger Roo is your guy! This affectionate boy has never met a stranger and is always ready to make a new friend.

Rodger Roo is still learning the ropes and will need some ongoing training, but the good news is he's incredibly food motivated, making him eager to learn with the right guidance. Like many working breeds, he's looking for an active home that understands his needs and is committed to giving him the structure and enrichment he deserves.

Rodger Roo would be best suited to a home with teenagers or adults, as he can be a little mouthy when excited and also gets carsick. He has shown some signs of separation anxiety, so he'll thrive with a family who can help build his confidence and settle him into a routine.

He could do well living with the right canine companion following a successful meet and greet, but he cannot live with cats.

⚠️ Rodger Roo is looking for a home with Cattle Dog or other working breed experience. He'll do best with people who understand the unique needs of intelligent, active dogs and are ready to help him become the best boy he can be.

Think Rodger Roo could be your perfect match? Come in and meet him today! 🐶💙

Want to meet Rodger Roo but already have a dog at home? Please bring your resident dog along for a meet and greet to see if they're the perfect match!

Breed: Am-Staff
Age: 4 yrs
Adoption fee: $150

Brodie is now our longest-term dog, and we can't understand why.

While so many dogs have found their forever families, this gentle, quiet soul continues to wait patiently for someone to see just how special he is. He isn't the type of dog to demand your attention or be constantly in your face. Instead, Brodie will quietly wander over when he's ready, leaning in for affection and melting your heart with his sweet nature.

He can be a little unsure when meeting new people, but give him a little time and you'll discover an incredibly loving companion. Once he trusts you, Brodie loves nothing more than chasing a ball, having a play, and showing off his clever tricks—he already knows sit, paw and down!

Brodie would be best suited to a home with teenagers or adults who can give him the time and patience he deserves. He'll also need some continued socialisation before living with another dog, but with the right guidance we know he'll continue to flourish.

Brodie has waited long enough. He's watched countless dogs leave for their forever homes while he patiently stays behind. Could you be the person to finally give this beautiful boy the happy ending he's been waiting for? 🤎🐾

🐾 Please note: Brodie is looking for a home where he can be the only dog. For the safety and wellbeing of all involved, dog-to-dog meet and greets will not be conducted for dogs requiring a single-dog home.

🌸🩷Once She Loves You, She Loves You Completely - Meet Clarabel 🩷🌸

Council Reference Number: IMP-26-00878

Breed: DSH
S*x: Female
Age: 1-2yrs

Clarabel is a sweet, adorable girl who can be a little shy and unsure when first approached, but once she decides you're her person, you'll discover the most loving and affectionate companion. 💕

Clarabel has absolutely thrived in foster care and has shown just how wonderful she is in a home environment. Now, she's hoping to find a family of her very own.

But don't just take our word for it… here's what her foster carers have to say about this beautiful girl:

🐾 Chin Scratch Enthusiast: Clarabel absolutely adores chin scratches and will happily drool all over you while soaking up the attention. If you bring out the wet treats too, you'll have her heart in no time!

🐾 Loyal Little Shadow: Once she's comfortable, Clarabel wants to be wherever you are. She's happiest by your side and loves spending time with her favourite people.

🐾 Sunbathing Queen: Whether she's stretched out in a warm patch of sunshine or curled up in her favourite bed, Clarabel knows exactly how to relax in style. ☀️

🐾 Spring Toy Superstar: Spring toys are her absolute favourite, and she's always ready for a fun play session with them.

🐾 The Cutest Little Blep: Clarabel has had dental work done in the past, leaving her with a permanent little blep that somehow makes her even more adorable than she already is. 🩷

🐾 A Gentle Soul: She can be a little nervous with new people and unfamiliar situations, but once she's settled and feels safe, her sweet, loving and friendly personality truly shines through.

🐾 Potential Feline Friend: Clarabel could happily share her forever home with another friendly, calm cat who will respect her space while she settles in.

Clarabel is looking for a cat-experienced home that understands some cats just need a little extra time to build trust. She'll thrive with a family who will let her settle in at her own pace and give her the patience she deserves.

She may also be suited to a home with older, cat-savvy children who understand how to respect her boundaries and allow her to come to them when she's ready.

If you're looking for a gorgeous girl who will follow you around, drool through every chin scratch, proudly show off her adorable little blep, and fill your home with quiet companionship, Clarabel might just be your perfect match. 🤍🐾

🐾 Dog Loaf Donations Needed! ❤️

We're currently in need of dog loaf to help disguise medication for dogs who need daily treatment, as well as to encourage some of our fussy eaters to enjoy their meals.

If you're able to donate a dog roll, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation, big or small, helps keep our dogs happy, healthy and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes.

Donations can be dropped off to BARC during opening hours.

Thank you for your continued support! 🐶💙

Every animal deserves the chance to be loved, and these gorgeous souls have so much love, personality and companionship to give. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion or a new furry family member, your perfect match could be waiting right here. ❤️

S*x: Male
Breed: Bullmastiff X
Age: 2-3 yrs

If you're after a dog with a big personality to match his big heart, Alfie is your guy! This goofy, boisterous boy loves being around people and is always ready to make you laugh with his playful antics.

Alfie seems to build confidence with women a little quicker than men, but with patience and positive interactions, he'll happily become your loyal sidekick. Like many young, enthusiastic dogs, he can get a little overexcited and likes to jump up to say hello, so he'll benefit from continued training to help him channel that excitement into good manners.

🐾 Goofy, playful and full of personality
🐾 Outstanding social skills with other dogs
🐾 Could suit a home with another friendly dog after a successful meet and greet
🐾 Would benefit from ongoing training
