Adoption information
I've been adopted!
About Nickelback
Look at this brindle Staff,
Every time I do it makes me laugh.
Nickelback's a male, medium to large size,
At just 1 year old, he'll light up your skies.
He's a happy fella, loves attention and play,
With people and kids, he brightens the day.
Gets along great with other dogs too,
An active home is what he’s lookin' to pursue.
Remember how you laughed when you saw his face?
He’s got that charm, a loving embrace.
Though he’s full of energy, he’s also so sweet,
An affectionate dog who’ll make your life complete.
He might get a bit overexcited at times,
But with some guidance, he’ll fall in line.
Secure fencing's a must, he’s curious you see,
But his heart’s in the right place, where he wants to be.
So if you’re ready for a companion, loyal and true,
Come meet Nickelback, he’s waiting for you.
He’ll be the rockstar of your family band,
Making memories that are simply grand.

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.

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!
