About Jemima
Meet Jemima, a lively and alert furry friend who's always up for a game of throw and catch but might need a little help balancing playtime and downtime. She takes comfort in snoozing under the covers, either snuggled between your legs or at your feet.
Jemima is sociable with other dogs, although will vocalise when she's not comfortable, classic sassy terrier style.
On a lead, Jemima does great, and she's well-versed in commands like sit and stay. She's also toilet trained, she also loves water!
She communicates her needs clearly, often using a range of barks or vocalisations to grab your attention. While her protective side may involve growling if touched unexpectedly on her tummy or back, she remains non-aggressive and very affectionate. Her smart and curious mind craves stimulation beyond her beloved ball games, making mental enrichment activities a must.
Jemima would thrive in a home where she can bond closely with her humans, continue her love of active play, and explore activities that challenge her intellect. She's a wonderful companion best suited to an owner who appreciates her energetic and sweet yet sometimes anxious nature.
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 February
10am-1pm
Sat 14th
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!
