About Stevie
This scruffy bundle of joy is Stevie an 8-month-old Kelpie x Staghound.
Stevie loves humans and doesn't realise how big and bouncy she is. Therefore if she jumps up to kiss or hug you, she can be a bit overpowering for little kids, so is better suited for families with children older than 10.
Stevie has grown up with an older male Kelpie cross and gets along well with male dogs. She doesn't mind females, however, does take a little bit of space to get to know them before she is off and running around with them.
Stevie will happily come with you everywhere. She is the type of girl who would ride in the back of your Ute, and snuggle on the couch, once she's calmed down.
Stevie loves to run, chase, not great with fetch, however, will give you a good game of tug of war. She is also big on exploring new places, however wont wander to far if she loses sight of you.
Stevie would love to herd, her natural herding behaviours come out when she plays. Plus, she will stop any magpie from swooping as she loves to scare them off.
Stevie loves a good chat in the morning whilst waiting for her breakfast and is a very good guard dog, with a big bark to let anyone know if someone is around.
Just don't leave any food you don't want stolen lying around or to close to the edge of the bench, she will pinch it.

Adoption details
We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
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.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for JULY
Sat 5th 9:00am- 12:00pm

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!
