Who would our dogs choose if they had the chance?  We recently ran a social experiment to find out. Some trotted straight up to new friends without hesitation, while others took their time and chose their people with a bit more care. No matter their style, every single one of them had so much fun. And the best part? some of the gorgeous dogs you see in the video are still looking for their forever homes! If one of them catches your eye, follow the link to book your own meet‑and‑greet. Your perfect match might be waiting.

From our family to yours...

Upsetting Footage Warning: Max was so scared he couldn't even be walked to the Vet Clinic next door. He was kept as a breeding dog and is so shut down because he has had no proper medical care, love or attention. Time is critical for us to raise $30k in 30 days! Help us work with animals like Max to get the medical care they need and rehabilitate them to find new homes - we never euthanise for space or convenience.

The reality of Kitten Season means our shelter is in crisis mode: non-stop critical care, medical emergencies, and heartbreak. We see loss, but we also see the greatest miracles: recently a grieving mother cat helped bring life and love to a litter of kittens who had lost their own mum. But these companion animals still rely on our protection. Emergency care is CRITICAL. Your donation buys formula, medication, and warmth for kittens that literally can't wait.

Name: Bindi * Age: 2 years 3 months * Gender: Female * Breed: Bull Arab * ❌ No kids * 🏃‍♀️ Active family * 🐕 Dog friendly * 🐈 No cats * 📍 Keysborough, Vic, 3173 This is Bindi. She has been in our care since December 31, 2024, after being surrendered to another shelter. She is a scared and timid dog, and came to us as a transfer from another pound. Despite her shy start, Bindi has made a bunch of doggy friends at AAPS and thrives with another well-compatible, friendly, and confident dog. She is one of our staff's favourite dogs , who has earned their trust after weeks of persistence. Bindi loves a good butt scratch, playing fetch, and chasing balls. She's a homebody who would love a quiet lifestyle with her trusted human, and is not the type of dog to take to high-traffic areas like cafes or shopping centres. We know Bindi's perfect family is out there. They will need to be patient, slow, and have experience with scared or timid dogs. To give her the best chance, we are waiving her adoption fee and offering an adoption pack that includes 6 months' worth of food, a bed, walking equipment, toys, and flea and worm treatment. AAPS will also assist with medication costs and provide additional support post-adoption. Please, share Bindi’s story. You might not be able to adopt her, but by sharing this post, you could help her find the person who can. Let's make sure her wait is over. If you want more info about her or you would be interested in adopting her please comment “Bindi”  📍Keysborough, Vic, 3173.  #AdoptDontShop #AnimalWelfare #KeysboroughAnimals #rescuedog #foreverhome
