Hi everyone, my name is Dory
Dory is a 3-month-old American Staffordshire x pup looking for a home to call her own. She’s bright, expressive, and full of personality — the kind of puppy who’ll happily tell you all about her day with little grumbles, chirps, and puppy commentary.
Dory is looking for a patient, committed home that’s excited to guide her through puppyhood. She’ll thrive with positive training, structure, and someone who can help channel her big feelings and big voice into confident, well-mannered behaviour.
Dory is an active, clever girl who’ll appreciate a home that loves playtime, mental enrichment, and daily adventures. She could live with a well-socialised adult dog who can show her the ropes, and she’s suitable for families with dog-savvy children who understand and respect puppy energy.
If you’re ready for a sweet pup who’ll keep you smiling, Dory can’t wait to wiggle her way into your life.

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
