Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Rosie

Say hello to Rosie, a young Chihuahua with a zest for life and a love for her toys—so much so, she likes to bring one along on her walks as a trusty comforter! It might take Rosie a little time to warm up to new environments, but once she feels at home, her confidence shines, and her playful, spunky personality comes out to play.

Rosie doesn’t mind sharing her space with another dog and has proven to be a respectful little lady around older, more seasoned canine companions. She’s the perfect mix of sweet and sassy, ready to snuggle one moment and show off her active playful side the next.

If you’re looking for a petite partner with a big love for life (and toys!), Rosie might just be your perfect match. If you’re ready to give her the forever home she deserves please fill out the expression of interest form.

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
