Hi everyone, my name is Elliott
If pure joy had four legs, a wagging tail, and a mischievous sparkle in its eyes, it would look exactly like Elliott. At just four months old, this energetic Kelpie is bursting with excitement for absolutely everything.
Elliott is the kind of pup who believes life is one big adventure, and he’s determined to experience all of it at top speed. Smart, alert, and eager to please, he’s already showing all the hallmarks of a classic Kelpie: quick on his feet, quicker in the brain, and always up for a challenge.
With the right guidance, Elliott is going to grow into an incredible companion. He’ll thrive in an active home where exercise and enrichment are part of the daily routine. Training is his love language.
Elliott also loves other dogs and can be rehomed with a confident, well-socialised canine role model who can show him the ropes (and maybe teach him that not everything is a race) and wouldn’t mind a young energetic pup around.
If you’re dreaming of a bright, busy, heart-on-his-sleeve pup who will make every day a little more exciting, Elliott is ready to leap into your life — and straight into your heart.

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
