Hi everyone, my name is Petey
Say hello to Petey, a 3-month-old Labrador x Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix bursting with puppy energy and personality! This little guy is all about playtime, exploring, and learning the ropes of life — and he’s on the lookout for an active, loving family who’s ready to keep up with his boundless enthusiasm.
Petey’s got all the classic puppy charm: he’s curious, mischievous, and full of zoomies! Expect lots of playful mouthing, enthusiastic chewing, and the occasional “run amok” moment — but hey, that’s all part of the puppy package. He’s eager to learn and grow, and with the right guidance, he’s going to be the best companion you could ask for.
He’d thrive in a home where there’s plenty of physical and mental stimulation—think daily walks, play sessions, and some fun training to keep his clever mind busy. Bonus points if there’s a confident, well-socialized dog already in the family to show Petey the ropes and help him become the perfect pup.
If you’re ready for a whirlwind of fun, laughter, and unconditional love, Petey is ready to be your new best friend. Could you be the one to give this spirited little guy the home he deserves?

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
