Hi everyone, my name is Mufasa
Meet Mufasa, a super friendly Staffordshire who is guaranteed to greet you with the biggest butt wiggle and an even bigger smile.
Mufasa really is the best of both worlds. He loves getting outside for a run around, playing with his toys and having some fun, but once he’s had his fill of activity, he’s just as happy snuggling up beside you on the sofa.
He could potentially live with another suitable dog and has shown particular interest in wanting to play with some of the female dogs here at the shelter.
Mufasa would also benefit from continuing with some general obedience training to help polish up his basic skills and manners.
If you’re looking for a lovable, loyal companion with plenty of personality and affection to give, Mufasa could be the perfect dog 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
