About Ollie
Meet Tutu - a gentle soul looking for his forever retirement home 🐾
Tutu is a sweet, senior Heeler x Jack Russell Terrier who hasn't always had the easiest start in life. In the shelter environment he's been quite timid, but beneath that shy exterior is a truly affectionate little gentleman. Once he feels comfortable, Tutu enjoys pats and quiet attention, often giving a soft nudge of his nose to politely ask for more.
Tutu is searching for a calm, understanding home where he can finally relax and take life at his own pace. He will thrive with a family who can offer patience, routine, and the space he needs to feel safe while his confidence grows. With time and kindness, he's sure to show his lovely true personality.
A secure backyard is essential for Tutu so he can potter around and enjoy the outdoors in his own time. He may be happy to share his home with another dog, provided they are strictly older, easy-going, and of a similar size, as he prefers gentle companionship.
If children are part of the home, they should be older and able to respect Tutu's boundaries and need for quiet moments. In return, Tutu will offer loyal companionship, soft nudges for affection, and the kind of love that only a dog who's waited a long time for his chance can give.
Tutu is ready to spend his golden years feeling safe, cherished, and finally home. 💛
Adoption details
Our adoption process is designed to match you with the right pet, the first time. Our team are experts at rehoming animals who have specific needs that match your lifestyle, to ensure every adoption placement will last a lifetime.
At our Peninsula site, adoption hours are 12pm – 4pm. You are welcome to attend our reception office without an appointment to begin our adoption process during adoption hours.
The adoption areas are not free to walk through, and you will need to chat with our staff to confirm that a potential adoption is a good match.
Once the adoption has been discussed, a staff member will facilitate a walk-through of the adoption areas or have an animal brought to you in a greeting area.
For horse, livestock or poultry enquiries please email horsesandlivestock@rspcavic.org.au
