GEELONG Animal Welfare Society is searching for forever homes for its long-term canine residents.

And to help find them new families the shelter has reduced adoption fees by $50 for six cute dogs who been at the shelter for more than 50 days.

GAWS chief executive Helen Cocks said the shelter was looking for prospective new owners for the dogs who could invest their time into positive and consistent training which would reap huge rewards.

“For a limited time only we have reduced the adoption fee for these six loveable pooches by $50,” Ms Cocks said.

“If you would like to meet any of our longer term residents, we would encourage you to visit our Moolap facility.”

MEET THE DOGS

Roxy. Picture: Alan Barber

1. Roxy, 4 YO Great Dane x American bulldog – Roxy is a gentle natured girl who requires a calm, patient and understanding new owner. Despite her age, Roxy is extremely low maintenance and would love nothing more than to curl up at your feet by the fire and sleep the day away.

Fester. Picture: Alan Barber

2. Fester, 5 YO American bulldog mix - Fester is a loving American bulldog mix that is 5 years 11 months old. Don’t let his age fool you, this boy is still all go go go. Fester hasn’t had a lot of training previously and will need a family willing to start with the basics to help Fester learn.

Jacko. Pictures: Alan Barber

3. Jacko, 2 YO greyhound – Jacko is a large greyhound boy with a lot of love to give! Jacko can get very excited at times however, this shows his very affectionate side.

Muffin. Pictures: Alan Barber

4. Muffin, 2 YO Italian cane corso mix – Muffin is the biggest softie and just adores human affection. Muffin is very inexperienced but has been slowly gaining confidence since being in care. Muffin will benefit from dedicated training to build further confidence.

Karma. Pictures: Alan Barber

5. Karma, 4 YO pointer x bull Arab mix - Karma is a young, extremely active dog who has missed out on basic training and socialising skills. Karma is eager to please and highly affectionate however, she requires firm rules and boundaries and needs to practice being calmer.

Roger. Picture: Alan Barber

6. Roger, 3 YO Australian red heeler– Roger is an inexperienced high energy dog that requires solid daily exercise and thrives on strong positive handling. Roger loves being around humans and would benefit from further training.
