Hi everyone, my name is Candy
Candy is a gentle, loving Staghound mix with a heart as soft as her name suggests. Medium in size and big on affection, she’s ready to find a family to call her own.
This gorgeous girl has a lovely nature and knows her basic manners, but like any young dog, she’ll thrive with ongoing guidance and positive reinforcement. She’s eager to learn and will flourish in a home that can provide both structure and enrichment.
Candy would suit an active household that can keep her mind and body engaged. She’s the kind of dog who’ll happily trot beside you on a trail, then curl up for cuddles on the couch.
Her play style is gentle and social — she loves meeting other dogs and will often greet them with a play bow or her signature yoga stretch. She could happily live with another young, well-rounded dog who shares her playful spirit.
Candy can get a little jumpy when excited, so a home with older children (10+) would be the best fit to match her energy and help her feel confident and calm.
If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who’s equal parts playful and affectionate, Candy might just be your 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
