Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Bella

Bella is a 1½-year-old English Pointer who’s equal parts lovebug and livewire. She’s smoochy, people-obsessed, and always up for a cuddle — preferably with her whole body pressed against yours.

She’s recently had a hind leg amputation but has bounced back with typical pointer spirit. She’s active, curious, and looking for a home that can keep up with her energy while supporting her recovery and strength-building.

Bella would suit an experienced, active home that understands working breeds and can give her the structure, stimulation, and affection she craves. Due to her strong prey drive, she’s best in a home without small animals.

If you’re looking for a dog who’ll love hard, play hard, and snuggle even harder — Bella’s your girl. Please pop in an application as Bella would 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
