Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Thistle

Thistle is a cheeky 4-month-old Staghound puppy who is ready to find his forever home. With his playful personality and love for zoomies, he brings a lot of joy and energy to any household. As a growing puppy, Thistle will eventually become a large breed dog, so he’ll need plenty of space to run, play, and explore. He’s the type of pup who loves playtime and is always eager for fun and adventures.

Although Thistle is still a young puppy, he has a gentle and loving nature that makes him a wonderful companion. He’s good with other dogs and could potentially live in a home with cats as long as they are introduced slowly, keeping in mind that sighthounds do have naturally high prey drive. Thistle would also do okay in a family with young children who can engage with him in a positive and kind way.

Thistle is still learning the ropes of life, so he will need training to help him grow into a well-mannered young gentleman. With some consistency and positive reinforcement, he’ll develop into a polite, well-behaved adult dog.

Thistle’s ideal home is one where he can be part of an active family, enjoying plenty of outdoor time and play sessions. He thrives in an environment where he can get the exercise and attention he needs to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

If you’re looking for a loving, energetic puppy who will become a loyal companion, Thistle may be the perfect match for you.

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
