Hi everyone, my name is Teddy

Teddy is an energetic bundle of joy who is eagerly searching for an active family to call his own. With his boundless energy and zest for life, he’s the perfect companion for outdoor adventures, long walks, and playtime.

While Teddy’s heart is as big as his enthusiasm, he does require some guidance to channel his boisterous behaviour appropriately. Obedience training will help him learn manners and become the well-behaved companion he’s destined to be. However, it’s important to note that Teddy finds it difficult to focus, so he’s best suited to a household with older children or adults who can manage his excitability and provide him with the structure and attention he needs to thrive. For this reason, it would be best he isn’t in a home with any other animals.

If you think that Teddy sounds like a good fit for you, please fill out an expression of interest form below.

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
