Hi everyone, my name is Sugar
Sugar is a beautiful deaf Bull Arab puppy with a gentle, observant nature. She is attentive and thoughtful, often sitting back to watch what’s going on around her before engaging, and she enjoys spending time with her people.
Sugar is responding well to early training and has already begun learning basic hand signals. She shows good focus and is keen to engage, making her a rewarding puppy for adopters who enjoy training and building communication with their dog.
Sugar is deaf and will need adopters who are patient, consistent and willing to put time into positive, reward-based training as she continues to develop. With clear routines and calm guidance, she has shown she is capable and adaptable.
She may be suitable to live with another dog, provided they are confident, tolerant of puppy energy and happy to share their space. As with any puppy, Sugar will benefit from structure, enrichment and continued socialisation to help her grow into a confident adult.
If you’re looking for a puppy who is engaged, observant and eager to learn, Sugar could be a lovely addition to your home.

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
