Hi everyone, my name is Ned

Say hello to Ned, a sweet older gentleman with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. Ned may have a few greys, but don’t let that fool you – he’s always up for a good stroll and loves exploring the world at his own pace.

Ned is looking for a calm home. He thrives on being included in family life and would like to be allowed indoors where he can relax and be close to his humans.

He recently had a dental procedure, so regular vet check-ups will be important to keep him feeling his best.

Ned has Canine Geriatric Vestibular Disease and may walk with a head tilt for the rest of his life. This does not affect his quality of life.

If you’ve got a quiet, moderately active home and room in your heart for a loyal, loving companion, Ned might just be your perfect match.

Please fill out an expression of interest as we’d love to hear from you. All meet and greets must be by appointment as he is in foster care.

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
