About: Layla is the sweetest little girl but obviously her early life was not so great.
Layla loves the company of other dogs, playing and just enjoying herself but sadly it is the humans she does not have the trust in, but on saying that we can see her trust coming out more and more each day, it is just time and patience to let this beautiful girl there are people out there who are kind and caring.

Name: Rusty
Breed: Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog x Kelpie
Born: 15th May 2019
Sex: Male
Adoption Fee: $375.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Rusty is very excited to be up for adoption after many months spent at YAPS!
Rusty was originally a long-term boarder who was never collected, and unfortunately when being transferred to our shelter side, it was discovered that he had heartworm. So began the 3 month journey of treatment for this striking stumpy-tailed boy.
Rusty has a prominent overbite which we think just adds a great bit of character, and is also toilet trained and quiet. Rusty is typical of the cattle dog breeds in that he gets very attached to ‘his’ people, and is selective with what other dogs he is friends with. Currently he spends his days with Roxy, our bull arab mix who is also a shelter dog who has recently finished her heartworm treatment, but some other males he really makes a point of letting everyone know he doesn’t want them anywhere near him! While Rusty is a well mannered gentleman, he has an extreme dislike for small dogs…in fact, he reckons that the fluffier they are the more aggravating they are! For this reason, he cannot be rehomed where there will be small dogs, and likely no cats either.
While we don’t have a great deal of history on him, we do know that Rusty came from a family where he was an only dog and enjoyed an outdoorsy lifestyle. From what we have learnt from him over the months, we also know that he is reserved at first but soon lets out his goofy and loving side to the people he deems ‘worthy’ of his attention. He will make a very loving and loyal addition to his new home.

Name: Wenutu aka PH
Breed: Mastiff X
Born: 1st January 2023
Sex: Male
Adoption Fee: $475.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: This handsome little guy was rescued by some kind people from the Esplanade here in Cairns when he was only about 4 weeks old. We were told the person who had him was not being “very nice to the little guy” so they actually bought him off the person and brought him to Yaps.
He is the cutest funniest little guy who has won the hearts of everyone he had met but unfortunately he has been diagnosed with a grade 4 heart mummer.
With allot of puppies they will out grow this but that is not a sure thing so we are monitoring the situation. In the meantime this little (well not so little) needs a family that he can charm his way into their hearts and this is something he does very well!!!

Name: Gertie
Breed: Staffy X
Born: 15th March 2020
Sex: Female
Adoption Fee: $375.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Gertie recently came into Yaps care from the Pound and this is what they have to say about her.
She is a lovely calm girl who has obviously has has a litter of pups before. She is very settled in care; she spends most of her time relaxing and is not showing any signs of anxiety or stress in a shelter environment.
Gertie has met multiple dogs and has shown no signs of aggression although is avoidant of dogs with big bouncy energy. She has met a 40kg male American Bulldog, Zena a large mastiff x and Spyro a smaller terrier teenager. Out of these dogs her favourites were the large male as he was gentler in his greeting, she was excited and motherly to the puppy and avoided Zena as she bounced around very excited to meet Gertie and we saw that made Gertie a little nervous as she tried to work out Zena’s intention.
She is such a calm dog that she would do well with a lower energy dog mate or an only dog home. She presents as a lower maintenance/energy dog and would be easily placed in care with her easy-going nature.

Name: Piper
Breed: Bull Arab X Staffy
Born: 15th March 2022

She is very sweet and has never been a drama for us in care. She is a very social and easy-going girl with a soft and friendly personality/demeanour. When her tail wags her whole body moves 😊 and she has loved every dog she has met so far.

Name: Roxy
Breed: Bull Arab X
Born: 4th May 2015
Sex: Female
Adoption Fee: $200.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Hip hip hooray, 4 months later Roxy has completed her heartworm treatment and can’t wait to find a home of her own!
At 8 years old, Roxy is a beautiful distinguished senior citizen who has made an impact on all the staff here at YAPS for her beautiful and soft nature.
Roxy is a big girl, and has extensive scarring on her face; not due to fighting, but having inadequate fencing in her younger years, she used to push through the wire 4 foot fencing to look for human company, which ended up in her surrender to the council pound at 7 and a half years of age.
However, in Roxy’s time at both YAPS and her Christmas foster home, she has never tried to escape unless there is a thunderstorm.
Due to her size, Roxy can be a strong girl on the lead when she sees something she wants; so while she walks beautifully most of the time, she will need someone who is aware that she can be strong. Roxy would be happy living indoors or outdoors, however at her Christmas foster when outdoors we were informed that she would just stare inside longingly…so perhaps a home where Roxy can experience having some indoor time and snuggles would be amazing for her twilight years. She is happy with most other dogs, and had indoor cats at her Christmas foster that she showed no interest in (however no formal introductions were done with them together).

BIN: 00002921982635
About: Hi everyone, I’m Olive’s sister (below), so I also arrived as a stray needing some meat on my bones. Now that I have that, I’m not too interested in food. Me? I’d much prefer alllll the love. Scratch my belly, or if I spot a lap, let me hop in it! I plan on being treated as royalty. I’ve heard the words goofy thrown around but I don’t think so; I just want to run to the beat of my drum! I would suit any family who just wants a girl to cuddle

Name: Sonja
Breed: Staffy X
Born: 8th October 2022
Sex: Female
Adoption Fee: $ 475.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Beautiful Sonya came to the shelter from the pound with Olga, needing to put on a bit of weight! Thankfully she is all good to go now, with the most beautiful black short coat and adoring eyes, Sonya is one to turn heads.
She is an extremely affectionate and gentle soul, loves playing with the other puppies, and is very responsive to food. We think she would do well in many homes who want to raise a terrific companion who is happy to cuddle up on the couch and enjoy time together on a daily walk.

Name: Luna
Breed: Staffy X
Born: 2nd August 2022
Sex: Female
Adoption Fee: $395.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Lucky Luna was rescued by Lyn from Bush Dogs and Pups, in a very bad way. Mangey, infected, and little trust, this girl has come a long way and longs to have a home where she can get the love and TLC she so deserves.
Luna has thankfully made a ful recovery, with a soft and silky coat and very happy demeanor. Please be aware that she does like the sound of her own voice, but is very affectionate and sooky in quiter environments.
She is quite full-on at the shelter, but when out is eager to learn, inquisitive, and cuddly. While Luna is playful with other dogs and pups, she can be assertive so if living with another dog would do best with a male, or a dog who is okay with being bossed around
Now that she is ready and rearing to go, Luna looks forward to a positive life ahead to see that humans really can be lovely.

Name: Flash
Breed: Cattle X
Born: 20th January 2018
Sex: Male
Adoption Fee: $375.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Flash has found his way back to the shelter over 4 years later, and is as lovely as ever. Unfortunately he was too boisterous for toddlers, and does require at least one walk per day.
Flash could do with a bit of on leash training and boundaries to help him settle, but once he’s had his walk and a play he is a well mannered boy.
He really loves playing fetch, so would thrive getting to be a part of a family who might have an active lifestyle and enjoy a game of fetch in the yard. Flash has not shown leash reactivity to other animals, and he does get along with other dogs, provided he gets to be in charge. For this reason he would be better with another dog who is happy to be follow along.
If you want a dog who is larger than life in temperament, can join you on adventures, and is large in size, Flash might be the dog for you.

Name: Buster
Breed: Cattle X
Born: 28th October 2021
Sex: Male
Adoption Fee: $375.00
BIN: 00002921982635
About: Buster is a handsome, entertaining young lad who is best described as sweet, strong, and playful. He will need some training on a leash, but has the absolute time of his life chasing a hose and playing in the shell pool, and delights in bringing you a tug toy to play tug-of-war and then fetch! He is good with other dogs, though is certainly more of a rough-and-tumble type player so if going to a home with another dog, would be best suited to another boisterous dog.

They are very similar in personality, being that they are very happy, social, and playful.

Name: Rafi
Breed: Bull Arab X Staffy
Born: 24th April 2022
Sex: Male
Adoption Fee: $395.00
BIN: 0000292198263
About: Sitting at around 20kg, Rafi is a great size with personality plus!
He is an 8 month old SharPei mix who is friendly with dogs of all sizes, loves all people, and is easy-going. When he’s had outings he has been very scared of loud screaming children, trying to retreat or shaking; we are unsure of his past, but due to this think he may be best in a home without toddlers. In saying this though, he is brilliant walking on-leash as he does not pull, and is content just being beside you. as close as possible, actually! If he gets a chance, he’ll jump right up beside you on a bench for some cuddles.
He’ll make a great family member for those who want a relaxed yet playful and happy dog around the home.
