About Momo
I am Momo, hear me roar!
I am a little cheeky Staffy pup, who likes to steal toys from my siblings, and proudly parade them around! But when they catch up to me and steal the toys back, I will bark at them with my mighty voice! Bork bork! Don’t get me wrong though, I love my bros and sis!
I am a pretty independent little girl, and I’m just as happy sitting in a corner by myself,
chewing on my favourite toy, as I am rolling around, playing bitey-face with one of my
siblings. I was a little unsure about my foster parents at first, but now I love coming up for a pat and a snuggle. Foster dad often lies on the ground and I climb all over him!
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?
Sending you belly snoozes!
(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!
