Hi everyone, my name is Sunny
Sunny is a gentle Cocker Spaniel looking for a calm, understanding home where she can continue to build her confidence. Shelter life has been a little overwhelming for her, so she will need patient adopters who can help her feel safe and secure at her own pace.
She is best suited to an adult-only home committed to positive reinforcement, confidence building, and gradual desensitisation to handling and grooming. Sunny is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and soak up all the love and attention for herself.
Once comfortable, Sunny is an affectionate companion who enjoys being close to her people and thrives on quiet companionship.
If you think Sunny could be the right match for you, please fill out an expression of interest form and a team member 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
