Hi everyone, my name is Asa
Asa is a handsome, gentle boy with a soft heart and a playful streak. He has lovely manners and knows his basic commands, but would love a home that’s keen to continue his training and help him build on his skills.
Asa will thrive in an active home where he can enjoy daily walks, plenty of enrichment, and his absolute favourite — games of fetch. He’s a strong boy on the lead, so a confident, capable handler will be important to help him stay on track.
He’s previously lived with another dog and could do so again, ideally a medium to large dog who suits his play style. A home with teenagers upwards would be best due to his size and eagerness to greet new friends.
If you’re after a sweet, playful, and gentle companion who’ll bring plenty of joy into your home, please pop in an application 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
