About Spider
Meet Spider, while he may be shy initially, patience and understanding will reveal his true, affectionate nature, forming a beautiful bond with his human companions.
Spider takes some time to warm up to new people but he thrives in the presence of loving handlers who can guide him with a gentle patient touch. Whether he’s sitting by your side or playfully engaging with toys, he’s a half-alert, half-playful boy.
In a multi-dog household, Spider is tolerant, maintaining neutrality and getting along well with his canine companions. He enjoys the company of other dogs and is adaptable to various social situations, both indoors and outdoors.
Spider is not suited for a home with children or cats.
Sometimes jumpy with excitement, Spider pleasantly surprises everyone with bursts of energy. Once he's comfortable and trusting, his playful and sweet nature comes out. He can startle easy, therefore will need a patient and quiet household.
Spider is searching for a household that appreciates his journey of trust-building, patience, and affection.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably 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 Oct
10am-1pm
Sat 4th
Sat 18th
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!
