Hi everyone, my name is Bear
Bear is a handsome ginger boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This cheeky young lad is full of playful energy and loves to keep himself entertained with toys, zoomies, and anything that moves. He’s active, curious, and always up for a game — especially if there’s something to chase or bat across the floor!
While Bear is affectionate and loving with his people, he can be a little shy when meeting someone new. He just needs a bit of time to feel safe and comfortable, and once he does, you’ll see his sweet and cuddly side shine through.
Bear would do best in an adult-only home or one with older, respectful children who understand that he may need a little patience at first. He could also thrive with a confident feline friend who can match his playful energy and enjoy a good wrestle and chase session.
Please fill out an expression of interest form or come down to the adoption centre to meet him!

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
