Adoption information
About Buddy
Introducing Buddy, a sweet and affectionate dog who's ready to become your loyal companion. While he might take a little time to warm up to new faces, once he does, he's like a velcro dog, always eager to be close and share his love.
Buddy would be suitable in a home with older dog savvy kids. He requires secure 6 foot fencing to keep him safe in his backyard.
Buddy is a bit shy when meeting new dogs, but with some positive experiences and encouragement, he'll gradually build his confidence. Socializing with other dogs will help Buddy come out of his shell and develop his playful side. Daily exercise is key for him, and he's ready to join you for walks, keeping you both active and healthy.
Buddy is also eager to learn and would thrive with basic training, providing him the opportunity to show off his smarts while strengthening the bond you share. If you're looking for a devoted furry friend who's ready for some fun adventures and cozy snuggles, Buddy is hoping for a home where he can flourish and be loved.

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- 1-4pm
Tues- 1-4pm
Wed- CLOSED
Thurs- 1-4pm
Fri- 1-4pm

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!
