About Dbo
Meet Dbo, a happy and affectionate boy with a spirit full of resilience and curiosity who had a challenging start in life.
Dbo thrives in a multi-dog home where the energy and companionship of his furry friends keep his spirits high. While he's neutral around other dogs, his initial excitement might need a little patience and guidance. With proper socialization and some assistance with leash training, Dbo's enthusiastic greetings can be managed effectively.
What Dbo would love most is a home where someone is around most of the time; his need for mental stimulation and companionship makes him the perfect dog for a household that can provide him with plenty of engagement and affection. He needs a secure space with Colourbond fencing to ensure his safety and explore his curious instincts without wandering too far. His love for food can be a big help in training, making enrichment activities enticing and rewarding. He is mostly toilet trained but may require continuous training to ensure he is most comfortable.

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 August
Sat 9th 9:00am- 12:00pm
Sat 23rd 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!
