About Chip
Meet our delightful young fellow- Chip, our 11-month-old Kelpie. This lovable, energetic, and playful dog can't wait to meet his new family!
Balancing an exuberant spirit with a need for a good cuddle, Chip's personality is the perfect blend of energy and comfort. He has an adorable personality, is full of life, and overflowing with excitement. Due to his energy levels he needs to be exercised multiple times a day to expend that energy.
Chip also cherishes his downtime. He loves to cuddle with his handlers. His friendly demeanour and love for interaction mean that he will readily become an enthusiastic member of the family.
Chip would perfectly suit a home with a large outdoor space where he can frolic around. His dream family would be able to provide Chip with lots of love, exercise, and plenty of space to run about and explore.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
