Hi everyone, my name is Bear
Meet Bear, a big-hearted American Staffordshire Terrier who is searching for a loving new place to call home. After his previous owners were no longer able to care for him, Bear is now ready for a fresh start and a brighter future.
Bear is a big, goofy sweetheart who has spent a lot of time outdoors in his previous home. Because of this, he would absolutely thrive in a home with a secure backyard where he can potter around, sunbake, and stretch his legs.
He would be best suited to a moderately active home where he can enjoy daily walks, fun enrichment, and of course plenty of quality time with his people. Bear loves a gentle game of tug and is happiest when he’s included as part of the family.
Bear can get excited at times and may jump up when saying hello, so he would be best suited to a home with dog-savvy children aged 10+.
While Bear isn’t overly interested in playing with other dogs, he is happy to meet them out on walks. Bear would be best suited as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the love for himself.
Bear is ready for his next chapter with someone who can offer him structure, companionship, and the comfort he truly deserves.
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Bear might just be your perfect match.
If you are interested in meeting Bear, please fill out an Expression of Interest form and one of our team members will be in touch.

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
