Hi everyone, my name is Brooklyn
Meet Brooklyn — a gentle, sweet-natured boy who’s ready to find a loving home to call his own. At 7 years old, he’s at that perfect stage of life where he enjoys companionship and quiet moments with his people.
Brooklyn loves being around humans, so a family that’s home more often than not would be ideal for him. He’s previously lived with another dog but doesn’t choose to interact much, so he’d be happiest as the only pet where he can soak up all the love and attention. He has also lived with children before and could do so again in the right home.
Being a poodle mix, Brooklyn will need regular grooming to keep his beautiful coat in top shape, so a home that understands and can commit to his grooming needs is essential. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, he warms up quickly and shows his gentle, loving nature.
Brooklyn is currently in foster care so meet and greets are by appointment only.
Brooklyn would suit a calmer, quieter home where he can relax and enjoy a slower pace of life. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion, Brooklyn might be the perfect match.

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
