Hi everyone, my name is Buzz
Buzz is a 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart full of energy and a brain that’s always working overtime! If you’re looking for a dog who thrives on mental and physical stimulation, Buzz could be your perfect match. He loves to learn new things (he’s basically a sponge for training!) and is eager to show off his skills—so if you’re someone who enjoys working with a dog and helping them grow, Buzz will be your new best friend.
Buzz is looking for a quieter, active home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental challenges—he’s the type of dog who needs a big space to roam and explore (maybe even a backyard where he can stretch his legs!). An experienced handler will be key to helping him channel all that energy in a positive direction, so if you’re ready to put your training skills to the test, Buzz will be worth the reward.
He’s a smart and loving dog who just needs a little guidance and a lot of playtime. If you’ve got the time and patience to keep up with this energetic boy, please complete an expression of interest form.

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
