Hi everyone, my name is Sooty

Sooty is an almost 3-year-old Labrador with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. He’s a super friendly boy who loves meeting new friends and can sometimes get a little boisterous and jumpy.

Sooty is looking for an active home that can provide him with plenty of daily walks and enrichment to keep both his body and brain busy. While he enjoys getting out and about, certain things in the environment can occasionally spook him, so he’d love a patient family who can help build his confidence.

When it comes to other animals, Sooty isn’t particularly interested in making doggy friends and would be happiest as the only pet in his new home.

Sooty has previously lived with children and could happily do so again with dog-savvy kids around 10 years and older who are comfortable with his enthusiastic nature.

If you’re looking for a friendly, active companion who’ll be excited to see you every day, Sooty could be the boy for you.

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
