Hi everyone, my name is Eggbert
Eggbert is a sweet young soul who’s still learning the ropes of the big wide world. He’s full of heart, personality, and a touch of goofy charm — the kind of boy who’ll make you laugh every single day.
He’s looking for a patient and understanding home that can help him build confidence and polish his manners, especially around other dogs (he can get a little too excited at times!). For that reason, Eggbert would do best as the only animal in the household while he continues learning his social skills and recovers from a recent surgery.
Eggbert’s adoption will begin as a foster-to-adopt arrangement, as he’s currently recovering from patella surgery. He’ll need around six more weeks of rest and limited walks, but our adoption team will guide and support you through every step of his recovery.
If you’ve got the love, time, and space to help this handsome boy find his feet — and you don’t mind a bit of TLC duty along the way — Eggbert might just be your perfect match.

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
