About Don
** Please read thoroughly and only enquire if you can assist Don with his demands as listed below**
Meet Don, He's friendly demeanor and affectionate nature make him an excellent companion for those seeking a loyal four-legged friend. His natural curiosity ensures that each day is filled with excitement and discovery, making him a delightful mix of energy and playfulness.
Don does have a tendency to guard his food and belongings, so he will benefit from an adopter who patiently offers guidance and training in this area. With enthusiasm and a commitment to nurturing his strengths, Don is ready to become the best version of himself. While he can be selective with his doggy pals, he can startle easy with large breeds, preferring those of a similar size. We suggest a solo dog household only to ensure Don thrives with his new family.
Don thrives in social settings, getting along well with his human friends and serving as a perfect partner for those who enjoy engaging walks and interactive play.
This boy has already mastered basic commands, showcasing an intelligent and adaptable nature. While he might occasionally need a reminder to focus on lead work, Don is always eager to learn and eager to please, making training an enjoyable and bonding experience.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
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

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!
