Hi everyone, my name is Chloe
Hello! My name is Chloe, and I’m a stunning Dalmatian with a heart full of love and a mind that loves to stay active. I’m clever, curious, and full of energy, just as you’d expect from my breed. I enjoy using my nose to explore the world, and I’ll thrive in a home that understands the mental and physical needs of a high-energy, intelligent dog like me.
I may be down to three legs after a run-in with a car (the car won, sadly), but I’ve adjusted beautifully. That said, a home without stairs is essential for me to stay safe and comfortable. I have to stay fit to keep my mobility strong, so treats are best kept to a minimum. I’m more relaxed than most Dalmatians and not too fussed about other dogs—though I could get along with a calm, older canine companion. Mostly, I’m just looking for a loving, understanding family to call my own.

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
