Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Blue

Blue is a 2-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer with a gentle soul and a story to tell. Once a farm boy destined for hunting, Blue’s soft nature and love for chasing all the wrong things (yes, even snakes!) made him realize he’s much better suited for companionship than the hunting fields. Lucky for you, that means he’s the perfect pup to steal your heart!

This endearing boy might be a little timid at first, but a good chin scratch is the key to unlocking his warm and loving personality. Whether he’s resting his head on your lap with those soulful eyes or enjoying a joyful frolic, Blue has a way of making every moment with him feel special.

Not only does Blue enjoy the company of confident, playful canine friends, but he’s also open to sharing his home with feline companions. He’s truly a versatile and gentle soul, ready to fit into a loving family.

If you’re looking for someone like Blue, please complete an expression of interest form as we’d love to meet 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
