Nearly one year old, Bear's warm and friendly nature is sure to win your heart the moment you meet her. With her adorable looks and vivacious spirit, she is the perfect companion for an active and engaging lifestyle.
Bear absolutely adores going for walks with her handlers, bounding with excitement as she explores the great outdoors. Despite her eagerness for adventure, Bear knows how to switch gears when it's time for a cozy cuddle session, nestling beside you during quiet moments and proving just how versatile she can be.
As a mix of two highly intelligent and energetic breeds, Bear thrives when both her mind and body are engaged. Her new family should be prepared to offer plenty of stimulation and exercise, whether through play, training, or creative activities that challenge her intellect. Understanding the unique needs of border collies and kelpies will be key to nurturing Bear's full potential and ensuring that her zest for life is channeled positively.
Bear is more than just a pet; she's a furry friend eager to enrich the lives of those around her with joy and companionship.

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.
