Hi everyone, my name is Roy
Roy is a young Kelpie with a resume full of raw potential, boundless energy, and just the right touch of mischief. He’s looking for a confident and experienced handler who knows that “sit” isn’t just a command – it’s the start of a lifelong working relationship.
True to his breed, Roy regular outlets for his natural instincts – herding, sniffing, solving mysteries in the backyard, you name it. Think of him as your daily personal trainer, farm foreman, and executive assistant rolled into one handsome furball.
Roy is working on building up his confidence and needs someone who can continue that journey with guidance and structure (bonus points if you’ve got treats). He’s not one for chaos or tiny humans zipping about, so he’d thrive in a home without young children – teenagers are cool in his book.
If you’re ready to meet a spirited sidekick with brains, bounce, and boatloads of character, Roy just might be your kind of dog. Please complete an expression of interest form as 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
