Dogs For Adoption
We focus on finding the right fit for our dogs and their future families. There is an adoption fee, which is displayed on each dog’s advert.
​
We offer a 2-week trial period to ensure the match works for both you and the dog—if it doesn’t, we’ll take them back.
​
We also have private adoptions available. These dogs may still be with their original owners or in foster care when our shelter is full. Reach out we are happy to help!
Meet our Dogs
At Byron Dog Rescue, our dogs are treated like family. We’re a no-kill shelter, and every dog stays with us until they find their forever home.
Unlike most shelters, our dogs live together as a social pack, not isolated in kennels, helping them stay confident and well-adjusted.
​
This rare approach in Australia makes their journey to adoption smoother and happier.

Breed: Kelpie x Bull Arab
Age: 12 months | Male
Maxi is a goofy, affectionate pup with a big heart and endless love to give. Rescued from the pound, he’s now looking for a forever home filled with love, stability, and stimulation.

​​
Maxi needs:
- A loving family or person with time and consistency
- Space to explore, away from cars
- Enrichment, training, and play

HARPER
Breed:
Age: 8 years | Male | Desexed
​
Hi, my name's Harper. I'm a super friendly boy and love humans! And cuddles, and tickles! Even the cat that I currently live with.
​
I much prefer cats to dogs! I'm well behaved, I walk nicely on a lead without pulling and I understand basic commands, such as Come, Sit, No and my fave... walkie!
I am a little nervous of other dogs, as they haven't always been friendly to me, so I'm not sure about them now.
​
I also get a little nervous around children, so it's best I live in a home where there aren't any children around.I just like to chill with my owner and have a little walk each day.
​
I'm not high energy, ok maybe a little when I first meet you, but then I like to chill.By the way, you need to know that I'm intolerant to Beef and Chicken - Yuk!...

BEAR
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Age: 3 years 2 months | Male | Desexed
​
Meet Bear, a big, bouncy, and irresistibly friendly fellow who will quickly find a special place in your home and heart.
His affectionate and loyal nature means he forms deep bonds with his family. He loves nothing more than spending quality couch time with those he adores. Oh and belly rubs - there's no faster way to win his heart!
​
Bear thrives on daily exercise and engagement and requires significant physical activity and mental stimuli to keep his lively spirit in check. He is not the dog for first-time pet owners. He needs someone experienced, who can provide the ongoing training and structure he needs to channel his energy positively. He also requires regular grooming to maintain his gorgeous locks and keep them tangle-free.
​
His ideal environment is one where he can be the centre of attention as the only pet in the household. His large size and bouncy nature make him unsuitable for homes with young children or elderly individuals.
If you're an experienced dog owner seeking hearty laughter and dedicated friendship, Bear is more than ready to meet you! Are you the perfect match for this lovable giant?

HAZEL
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog x Siberian Husky x Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix
Age: 5 years 3 months | Female | Desexed
​
Meet Hazel, the affectionate furball who is ready to fill your life with love and excitement! This delightful girl is happiest when snuggled up against her human, basking in all the attention and affection she can get.
Hazel's sweet nature makes her an irresistible companion for anyone looking to add warmth to their home. Along with her warm heart, she has a fun-loving spirit and boundless energy. Playtime is her forte, especially when it involves a lively session of fetch. She'll gladly spend hours playing and performing acrobatics for her favourite toy. When the game ends, Hazel has one more request - a trip to the beach to splash in the waves and embrace her love for water.
She is great with children, young and old. Her sociable character allows her to get along well with most other dogs, making her a great companion for dog parks and group outings.
​
For those who love adventure, Hazel is the perfect partner to explore the world. A home with a high and secure fence is a must for Hazel, given her chase instinct, particularly when chickens or cattle are in her sights.
​
If you seek a lively companion who brings joy, playfulness, and a hint of adventure to every moment, Hazel is eagerly waiting to meet you.
