Struggling to find a loving home: pups Colt and Remus are still in care

At any one time, animals in foster homes can account for up to 21 per cent of all the animals in care at RSPCA NSW.
By giving an animal the chance to thrive outside the often busy shelter environment, foster carers provide a crucial lifeline for animals in need.
Two such pups, Colt and Remus, despite their foster parents' best efforts to ready these pups for their forever homes, the pair are still struggling to find the families they deserve.
Colt is a lively Australian Cattle Dog and Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix.
At 11 months old, he's always ready for a new adventure, be it at the beach or the great outdoors.
Colt is looking for a home where he can channel all his excitement into play and enrichment, which is why he'd greatly benefit from the attention of a patient, understanding family.
Meanwhile, Remus is spending his days becoming the perfect forever friend.
Though a little cheeky, he quickly shows his affectionate side to those who show him the way, making Remus the perfect pet for those looking for a loyal canine companion.
While incredibly friendly to his human friends, Remus would also enjoy growing up with a canine companion by his side.
A doggy mentor would help him gain more confidence as he adjusts to family life, although he prefers to keep his distance from bigger groups of dogs.
Colt and Remus were brought into care by RSPCA NSW Inspectors in September last year.
After more than 260 days in care, they are both still holding out for their perfect match.
If you're looking to adopt a canine companion of your own, consider giving Colt or Remus a second chance at a loving home.
Both pups are currently awaiting adoption with RSPCA NSW foster carers.

Whether you're caring for young litters or offering a space to recover from injury, you too can play an essential role in helping shelter animals find a home.
