Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Lucy

This gorgeous Labrador is equal parts resilience and wiggle. When she first arrived with us, she had been through quite the ordeal, an open wound caused by a skewer. But true to classic Lab spirit, she handled it like an absolute trooper. Fast forward to now, and she’s healed beautifully and is ready to start her next chapter.

She’s a big-hearted girl who bonds deeply with her people and brings a delightful mix of goofiness and determination. Think enthusiastic zoomies, expressive eyes, and the occasional mischievous moments. She’s clever, full of potential, and just needs the right human to help her shine.

Because of her strength and zest for life, she’s looking for a home that understands her needs and will set her up for success:

• A strong, confident handler who can provide clear guidance
• An adult-only home where she can feel secure and understood
• A solo-pet household

If you’re ready for a companion with a brave heart and a cheeky streak, she 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
