		Tilly has gone to live with a local couple to fill their lives with the love only a dog can provide.

		Sally is a very pretty Kelpie/Red Heeler X. This dog has such a beautiful nature despite having very bad ear infections, which must be so painful. These are now being treated. She has gone to a good home.
		Stein is going to live in Shark Bay. His new owner just had to let her husband see him to convince him that this was the right dog for them. He had a look and WAS convinced!!

		Paris is a 3 year old Maltese/Chihauhau. She has gone to a family with two children and is going to be a very spoilt house dog. The little girl was already planning to have Paris sleep on her bed. Just what every cute fluffy deserves.
		Snoopy, a 2 year old sterilised male Beagle/Jack Russell X, was adopted by a family that have recently moved to Dongara.
		Nelson is a gorgeous boy Chihuahua and has now left very doting foster parents to go to a family of four children who couldn't stop smiling as they left with him in the car. Their parents were all smiles also. This little dog has probably just landed in heaven. All of the children (4 - 13 in age) couldn't stop asking Mum and Dad "Can we take him home?". A fabulous outcome.
		Satin has been rehomed to a lady in a great house with a companion dog. She is going to be well spoilt.
		Tiny was rehomed in January.
		Pixie was rehomed in January.
		Harry, a sterilised 4 year old Jack Russel X, is now living with a lady and her son. Their other little dog is his new playmate.
		Gun, a 7 month old Deerhound X, is an awesome little guy who found a fabulous couple to look after him. He has a new home near the beach for lots of walks and people who are real doggy people to dote on him.
		George didn't remain homeless for long. He has found a home with a couple who had recently lost their old dog and their other dog (Buster) was pining for some friendship. Buster seemed to take to George and they developed a good relationship. So Buster left his owners with nothing other to do than to take George home.
		Bear is a 1 year old male Shitzu X Terrier. He went to live with a lovely lady (in fact the lady who found him wandering the streets). He is in a great place, with good company and a warm, clean house.
		Louigi, a sterilised 3 year old male Daschund X Terrier, went to a family with three children and is the only dog of the house. He will fit in just beautifully and deserves that.
		Ellie, a Chihuahua X, approximately 2 years old, went to a new home with another dog, so she will have company and friendship. Her new owner is a hairdresser, so will be able to keep her looking good.
		Bindi is a 5 month old female Scottish Terrior X. She is very cute and playful. She went to live with a loving family with children, so will have plenty to keep her occupied.
		Sooty (renamed "Lola") has been rehomed to a family of four in Mingenew. She will be enjoying life on a farm with regular trips to the beach and camping.
		Coco has gone to live with a lovely young couple in Dongara to be their new "baby". She has already been spoilt with a flash new bed, collar and many toys. She will also have a Blue Heeler/Kelpie X friend to play with and looks forward to regular jaunts to the beach.
		Chevy, a male 3 month old Staffordshire Terrier, found his new owner January 9th. He was the most beautiful Staffy that the foster carer had met in a long time. He was such a pleasure for her to handle.
		Pixie chose her new owners, they didn't choose her. She wandered around Geraldton, spotted a nice tree lined street opposite a park, decided on what looked like the best house on the block and settled herself in there nicely. The owners of this home were happy to foster Pixie whilst we found her somewhere more permanent. However, after the first enquiry, they quickly decided she had won them over and they could not bear to part with her. Pixie enjoys smooching, lazing about or leading other dogs around by their leads.
Rescues 2006
		Katherine Atkinson and her partner rescued Ellie, an 11 month old Kelpie X on November 6. She was rescued directly from the pound but Geraldton Dog Rescue had requested that she not be put down by the City of Geraldton as she was very rehomable. Ellie has been attending obedience training and is doing very well. She is a big and important part of the family.

Rodger's foster carers were so taken by him and he with them, he remains happily in their home.

In late December Mandy was adopted by a couple in Spalding who recently lost a 17 year old Kelpie.

Felix has gone to live in Mullewa, rehomed on the 23rd of December.

Oggy retired to a couple in Mandurah on the 23rd of December.

Just before Christmas Brutus found a new home in Dongara. He will have his new owners trained in no time!

Zee moved to his new home mid-December. He has a couple of kids that will no doubt keep him amused. All else failing, his new mum works at the library, so he can settle in with a good book ...

Jack, rehomed 8 December 2006, is a 1 year old Jack Russell X Fox Terrier. Jack loves to sit on your knee. He is such a nice friendly little chap.

Sisters Mindy and Maddison, Ridgback/Staffie X's were 5 weeks old when they were found dumped and deserted in a beer box in the Greenough bushland. They were dying of dehydration and malnutrition when a caring man found them and rushed them to the vet. A GDR foster carer took them into her care four days later. After days of cooking special meals, two hourly feeds and lots of love, the puppies started to thrive. It took them some time to really love humans and enjoy cuddles. What a sad start to life but GDR has helped them have the life they could only have dreamed of.

Maddy was rehomed in November at 8 weeks of age, to a lovely family with three children who just adore her. Mindy goes to her new home on the 9th December and will enjoy living with a family of four from England. Mindy loves jumping up on the couch every night to have cuddles and enjoys rugby tackling with her Kelpie friend Ebonie. The foster carer's are going to miss her terribly.

Cher, a 2 year old female long haired Jack Russell. She was rehomed 7 December 2006 to the lovely lady who also adopted Oscar (below). Cher was underweight and timid but is now happy to have found somebody to give her love and attention.

Oscar, a 2 year old Jack Russell X, rehomed in early December 2006. He loves people and other dogs.

Thanks to all of the people who rang concerned for Oscar and Brutus.

Bundy, a stumpy tailed Blue Heeler X, between 12 to 15 months old, was rehomed to 5 acres on 7 December 2006. All of that space and new owners who love to walk on the beach, much to this water baby's delight. Every girl's dream family.

Candy is a lovely placid puppy who is going to grow up to be a big dog. She has gone to live with a lovely family of four and their other dog "Steiger". She is as sweet as can be.

Bronson (previously Flame), just after his escape

Flame was a male Ridgback who was terribly neglected by his owners who left him chained up with no food or water whilst they were out of town. Flame had the good sense to escape and was soon found wandering the streets with a heavy linked chain dragging behind him. He was placed in the Geraldton pound and was due to be euthanised. Fortuntately, a kind hearted GDR volunteer called into the pound to see what dogs were available for rehoming. The volunteer was so distressed when she saw the state of Flame that she burst into tears and informed her husband that he must come home with them. It was impractical as they were to go away the next day but she knew she could not walk away from this dog (especially when he slowly walked over to her and through the cage placed his paw in her hand and stared into her eyes).

Flame was rescued and taken to the vet to check if he was salvageable or not. Luckily for Flame, the vet was also kindhearted and immediately fell in love with his gentle nature and doggie charm. Within 24 hours she decided to adopt him. So this very lucky dog (renamed "Bronson") now lives with a lovely vet and her partner who just love him to bits. When found, Bronson weighed only 17kg. He now weighs 38kg and his owner has him on restricted rations from time to time! Recently he won a trophy for obedience at dog training. Go Bronson!

This is Albert, a Mastiff X, aged 12 weeks at the time of photo. Would be coming up to a year old now.

Dot is a Kelpie X pup. Was rehomed about the same time as Albert.

Bat Boy. What else could we call a Corgi X with ears like that. His new dad loves him as much as we did.

Binki, a mini pincher.

Rescued in July, Cookie is a Kelpie X.

Daisy, a German Shepherd X, rescued in July when she was 2 years old. She was found with 5 puppies on a bush block. Photo taken with Daniel - we try not to sell him with the dogs. He is one of our dedicated volunteers.
