Adoption information
About Smarts
Meet Smarts, a sweet boy with a shy personality who is still learning that humans are safe. Smarts would thrive in a serene, quiet home where he can gradually warm up to his surroundings.
Smarts loves to play and cuddle with cats and would benefit from having a cat friend in his new home. He also prefers a calm environment with cat-savvy kids who respect his need for space.
Though initially timid, he will share gentle pats and warm companionship. Once comfortable, Smarts' playful nature blossoms. He loves to pay with toys and really enjoys his food. Nap time is a favorite pastime, and you'll often find him cozily curled up once he feels at home.
He must be inside to protect him from the sun.
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 March
14th & 28th
10am-1pm
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!
