Meet Shelby - an adorable 8-month-old Staffy mix with a heart full of love and a personality that lights up every room. This sweet girl is full of happy wiggles, playful energy, and endless affection. Whether she's zooming around the yard with pure puppy joy or snuggled up beside you as your loyal shadow, Shelby loves being part of the action and close to her people.
Like many young dogs, Shelby is still learning about the world and would thrive with continued training and guidance. Puppy classes would be a wonderful way to build her confidence, strengthen her skills, and help her grow into the amazing companion she's destined to be. Her gentle nature and eagerness to please make her a joy to work with.
Shelby was previously adopted but has sadly found herself back in our care through no fault of her own. She deserves a patient, loving family who can give her the stability and commitment she needs to flourish. As an active, curious young girl, Shelby will be happiest in a home where she can enjoy plenty of exercise, enrichment, and interaction with her humans.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate best friend who will reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless cuddles, and a lifetime of companionship, Shelby could be the perfect addition to your family.

Rosie is back and looking for her forever home - a gentle 8-year-old tabby girl with a shy, soft spoken nature. She's an indoor cat who spends her days curled up in her favourite bed, happily snoozing in a quiet corner of the home. Once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines through, and she becomes a devoted lap companion who adores gentle pats and calm company.
In the evenings, Rosie loves to snuggle up close to her humans, offering warmth, comfort, and a steady purr. Loud noises like vacuums can frighten her, so she's best suited to a peaceful household where she can relax and feel secure. With patience and kindness, Rosie will reward her new family with deep trust and a beautifully tender bond. Rosie is best suited to a single-cat household, as she does not enjoy the company of other cats.
You can find Rosie at our Animal Care Centre, 108 Tarleton Road, Spreyton. Open 10:00am – 2:00pm, 7 days a week.

Could Vera be your perfect match? Ver is a beautiful 9-month-old black-and-white girl with a gentle heart and a quiet nature. Rescued from the wild, Vera is still learning that people can be kind and that the world can be a safe place. Naturally shy, she prefers to take her time getting to know new people and surroundings, watching carefully from a safe spot until she feels comfortable enough to venture out.
While Vera may be reserved at first, her confidence continues to grow with patience, kindness, and gentle encouragement. In the right home, you'll have the privilege of watching this sweet girl blossom at her own pace. Every small milestone feels incredibly rewarding, and the trust she gives is something truly special.
Vera is looking for a calm, understanding home with someone willing to let her settle in on her own terms. With time, consistency, and lots of love, she has all the potential to become a devoted and affectionate companion. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones and understand that the best relationships are built slowly, Vera may be the perfect match for you.

It’s Joe - a handsome 1-year-and-5-month-old guinea pig with a gentle soul who's looking for a calm, understanding home. Joe is a very shy little fellow and finds new people, places, and experiences a bit scary. Because of this, he'll need a patient adopter who is happy to let him settle in at his own pace and understands that building trust will take time.
While Joe isn't the type of piggie to rush up and make friends straight away, with kindness, consistency, and gentle handling, he has the potential to grow in confidence and feel more secure in his surroundings. Watching a timid animal slowly learn to trust can be incredibly rewarding for the right person.
Joe enjoys the simple pleasures in life, including fresh green grass, a variety of healthy vegetables, and quality guinea pig pellets. A quiet environment, predictable routine, and plenty of hiding places will help him feel safe as he adjusts to his new home.
Come in to meet Joe and his friends, Brin and Lucky, at our Animal Care Centre, 108 Tarleton Road, Spreyton. Open 10:00am - 2:00pm, 7 days.

The best foster home isn't the same for every dog.
Some need a quiet home with no other pets. Others thrive with confident canine companions. Some need experienced handlers, while others simply need a safe place to rest and recover.
Whatever your home looks like, it could be exactly what a rescue dog needs.
For every dog, spending time in a loving foster home rather than in a shelter can make all the difference.

Stimpy is still waiting for his forever home - an 8-month-old Staffy/large breed mix with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a zest for life that's impossible to ignore. This handsome tan boy is full of enthusiasm and loves making the most of every moment, whether he's zooming around the yard, playing with his favourite toys, or soaking up attention from his people.
Stimpy was previously adopted, but he found himself back in our care when his youthful exuberance proved a little too much for his former home. Like many adolescent dogs, he's still learning how to channel his excitement appropriately and is looking for a family who will embrace his energetic nature while helping him continue to develop into the wonderful companion he's destined to be.
As a growing young dog, Stimpy will thrive with ongoing training, clear boundaries, and plenty of physical and mental enrichment. Puppy classes or further obedience training would be a fantastic way to help him build confidence, polish his manners, and strengthen the bond with his new family.
Beneath all that enthusiasm is a loving, affectionate boy who adores companionship and wants to be included in family life. He'll be happiest in a home where he has plenty of interaction and isn't left alone for long periods.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal best friend and are ready to guide a bright young dog through his teenage months, Stimpy could be the perfect addition to your family. With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, he's sure to reward you with a lifetime of companionship and adventure.
