Sophie's Choice predominantly highlights working breeds currently impounded around Australia and in need of a home (e.g. Border Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Kelpie, Coolie). Impounded purebreeds may also be featured, as well as any others Miss Sophie demands must be listed!
The listings are purely Sophie's Choice - with some input from her siblings!
These dogs are not in foster care and most are therefore in urgent need. They can be adopted directly from the relevant pound or shelter by members of the public. Please use the contacts provided on each listing if you require further information or if you're interested in adopting the dog.

About this site
This website is merely a service portal, built to assist people looking to adopt these types of dogs... thereby also (hopefully) helping these dogs to be saved from the pound!
About the listings
Pounds are required by law to keep lost pets and strays for a short period of time before euthanasing (to enable their owners to find and re-claim). This law varies from State to State, with some as little as 4 days. There is also an exception, i.e. when a pet is voluntarily surrendered to the pound by the owner, it may be euthanased at any time. Because of these reasons, listings will have a high turnover rate on this site. Aside from the pounds, we also have some shelters listed of which some have a no-kill or low-kill policy. These dogs are still housed in a pen or cage and need adoption into a loving home environment.
We will endeavour to provide each dog's "due date" (if it's known).
Any information, temperament notes and/or photos provided are from the pounds and shelters. Therefore this website takes no responsibility as to their accuracy.
