About Choppa
Meet Choppa, a handsome and male dog looking for that special place to call his own. While he adores his human friends, he requires some time and patience from adults to build trust, blossoming into an affectionate companion once bonded.
Choppa is protective, people-focused, and always keen to please those he loves. His world revolves around outdoor adventures, and he's most content exploring a backyard secured with 6-foot Colourbond fencing that ensures his safety and peace of mind. Given his impressive energy and strength, Choppa would benefit greatly from an experienced owner who can offer firm guidance, consistent training, and structured lead work to help him become his best self.
Choppa can be an energetic fella out and about, but back at home he is a snuggle buddy and is quite contempt loving up to his people. He is very affectionate in these quieter settings. Choppa would be suited to live with a female dog.
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
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!
