Hi everyone, my name is Georgie

If you’re looking for a dog who turns heads wherever she goes, Georgie might just be your perfect match. This stunning young American Staffordshire Terrier boasts one of the most unique tan merle coats you’ll ever see, but it’s her larger-than-life personality that truly steals the show.

Georgie is a fun-loving, enthusiastic young lady who approaches life with excitement and gusto. She’s always ready for an adventure and would thrive with an active family that can keep both her body and mind engaged. Whether it’s walks, training sessions, or exploring new places, Georgie is happiest when she’s included in the action.

As a strong, energetic dog, Georgie is looking for a confident and capable handler who can continue to guide her and help her channel her enthusiasm appropriately. Ongoing obedience training, including loose-lead walking and developing calm behaviours, will be important in helping Georgie become the very best version of herself.

While Georgie has previously lived with another dog and enjoys engaging with dogs at the shelter, we believe she may flourish as an only dog initially. This will allow her new family to focus on building her manners, confidence, and social skills. In the right circumstances, she may also be suitable to live with a confident, well-matched dog of similar size and energy level.

Georgie is bursting with potential and is looking for a family willing to invest time, consistency, and love into helping her shine. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion who will keep you smiling every day.

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
