Hi everyone, my name is Pabalina
Meet Pabalina, a sweet 3-year-old cattle dog who is looking for a home to call her own.
Pabalina is a lovely, affectionate girl who absolutely adores her people. One of her favourite things is rolling onto her back for belly rubs and soaking up as much human attention as she can get.
She’s looking for an active home that can keep her busy with daily walks, games of ball and plenty of enrichment to keep both her body and brain happy.
Pabalina has previously lived with another dog, but these days she isn’t particularly interested in making new dog friends. She would much prefer to be the only animal in the home, where she can have all the attention to herself.
If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who loves affection just as much as she loves getting out for an adventure, Pabalina could be the one for you. 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
