Most Popular breeds

All dogs are wonderful, but you might discover that some breeds suit you, your family and your circumstances a bit better than others.

Different dog sizes

Giant dog breeds

Our giant dogs weigh over 45kg. Think Burmese mountain dogs, Great Danes, and mastiffs. Do you have a (giant) space in your heart and home for these larger-than-life pooches?

Large dog breeds

Our large dogs are between 25kg and 45kg. This includes Labradors, greyhounds, and Siberian huskies. Could your new best pal be waiting patiently for you amongst our large breeds?

Medium dog breeds

Weighing anywhere from 12kg to 25kg, our medium-sized spaniels, collies, and terriers could be just what you’re looking for. Come meet our medium mutts, and you might just find a friend for life.

Small dog breeds

At 12kg or less, our small dogs include Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, and Shi Tzus. But don’t be fooled, these compact cuties have just as much love to give as their larger cousins.
