Hi everyone, my name is Scout
Scout is a sweet 1-year-old Staffy looking for her forever home. She’s a lovely young girl with plenty of energy and affection to give.
Scout is looking for an active home that can provide her with daily walks, playtime and plenty of enrichment to keep her happy and engaged. Once she’s had her adventures for the day, she’ll be more than happy to settle in for a cosy snuggle on the sofa with her favourite people.
Scout is still working on her socialisation skills around other dogs, so she would be best suited to a home where she can be the only dog and continue building her confidence at her own pace. She has previously lived with cats, so a home with a feline friend may be possible with appropriate introductions and management.
If Scout sounds like the right fit for your family, we’d love to hear from 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
