Hi everyone, my name is Rhino

Meet Rhino – he absolutely adores people and wants to be everyone’s best friend.

Rhino would love nothing more than a loving family to give him a daily walks, zoomies in the backyard and then snuggles on the sofa. He is the perfect balance of active vs chill and once he has got his silliness out all he wants is pats and cuddles.

He is very well rounded, and LOVES kids so could definitely fit in well with a family who doesn’t mind the odd jump or two.

Rhino could live with another calm, well socialised dog who knows how to interact gently and help keep things relaxed. But he would also be quite content as an only pet, so he can soak up all the attention. Due to his breed and instinct to chase, he wouldn’t be able to live with any small animals.

If you could give Rhino a loving home please pop in an application and come and meet him.

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
