About Dim Sim
Hellllloooo!
My name is Dim Sim, and I will come for you Tim!
Haha, I am just joking. But seriously, I am a super energetic little Staffordshire cross puppy, who loves to run and chase and bite my siblings. When they don’t want to play with me, I boop them on the head with my paw and run away, it’s my favourite game!
I love to play, and I enjoy some cuddles as well, especially on cold evenings. I would
consider myself the fiercest of the group and I would need someone who has some
experience with bull breeds and have the time to train me and play with me on a daily basis.
I am part of the “Dumpling litter” as our foster carers call us. We were found on the side of the street, wet, cold and hungry. But the nice people at Ballarat shelter took us all in, and we’ve now spent a week with our fummer and fadder (that’s what we call our fake-mummer and fake-dadder, because they’re only looking after us temporarily). I get on great with the bigger dogs in our foster home and while I was a little shy to start with, I now enjoy interacting with my foster humans. Because I’m only a baby, I will get on fine with children in a household as well.
We are now all ready to find our forever homes, and maybe you have that home? Will you send an application now, pretty please?

(Due to potential high demand for the "Dumpling Litter" please only send enquires through to our email: animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au
Enquires made through pet rescue will not be considered. Give us an outline of your living situation, experience and why you would make an amazing home for one of these young pups. Applicants preferably are within the City of Ballarat (or surrounds) as we will have to place the pups into "foster to adopt" until they are old enough to be desexed.
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!
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
