About Dusty
Meet Dusty, a gentle and affectionate dog with a sensitive soul. Dusty might start off a little shy, taking the time to warm up to new faces and surroundings, but under that initial shyness, you’ll find a loving and loyal companion. He's alert and aware, yet his gentle nature makes him a soft-hearted friend who just needs a bit of patience.
He's selective when it comes to doggy pals and is happiest with those who match his energy. He's would do well with kids and extremely people-focused, earning him the nickname "Velcro dog" since he loves being close to those he cares about.
Ideal for first-time pet owners, Dusty is toilet-trained and eager to learn. He will require some basic training and guidance
Dusty will require someone who is willing to help with exposure and take it slow with introductions to other dogs; he can be a little vocal and shy to begin to with but warms up once he becomes comfortable.
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 Dec
10am-1pm
Sat 13th
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!
