Spot

My name is Spot and I’m a 2-year-old black and tan kelpie boy with a big smile and a huge heart. I’m one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet, and I have a distinctive look too — I’m missing the tip of my left ear from an old injury, which just makes me extra memorable.

I am a fun-loving, affectionate and playful companion. I adore cuddles, holding hands, gentle play-fighting, and zooming around. I bond quickly, trust easily, and have a gift for making my humans feel like the most important people in the world. I’m great with kids, love meeting new people, and bring laughter and joy wherever I go. After a busy day, I’m just as happy to curl up for a nap.

I’m clever and love to learn. I can sit, shake hands, wait politely at doors, sit nicely for pats, and wait patiently for permission to eat. I love training at home, especially when treats are involved — peanut butter is a particular favourite of mine! I’m currently working on lying down and improving my recall, and I thrive with daily mental stimulation. I’m toilet trained, crate trained, and do best with a routine that includes exercise and interaction, rather than long stretches alone.

I’m an energetic kelpie who loves daily walks and runs. I get along well with other dogs, though I’m also happy as an only dog. I live peacefully with a cat and show calm, respectful manners. I’m not obsessed with toys yet, but will occasionally enjoy a soft toy or rope tug — people are definitely my favourite thing!

My ideal forever home will be one where I have plenty of attention and companionship, or where my people can provide lots of exercise, mental stimulation and quality time. I’d be a perfect companion for a young, active person and a great travelling buddy. A home with secure fencing is required.

If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your life with fun, affection and joy... I'm your boy.

Spot is located in VIC.
