Hi everyone, my name is Lucky
Lucky is an energetic little spark looking for a calm, steady home to help her build confidence and feel secure. She can be a bit unsure in new environments, so she’s searching for a home that can offer patience, consistency, and gentle guidance. She is a JRT x possibly with a working breed, weighing about 11kg.
Loud noises and sudden changes can spook her, so a quiet home with teenagers upwards would be best while she settles in.
Despite her sensitive side, Lucky has plenty of energy to burn and would thrive in an active home that enjoys regular long walks and can provide training and enrichment to keep her busy and engaged.
Lucky could live with another well socialised confident dog. She’s clever, lively, and has so much potential — she just needs the right people to help her shine.
If you’re after a little adventure buddy with a big heart, Lucky might just be your girl.
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
