Adoption information
About Dot
Dot is a joyful and people-focused dog, perfect for a family with children of all ages. Her calm and patient demeanor, combined with her curious nature, makes her an excellent companion for all sorts of adventures. Enthusiastic and friendly, Dot has a way of engaging everyone she meets, making her a delightful addition to any gathering.
Dot could thrive in a multi-dog home where she can engage in gentle play with her canine friends. She is social and tolerant, extending her friendliness to all furry pals. Her playful spirit is contagious, but she remains gentle and affectionate throughout her interactions. Though she is already toilet trained, Dot will greatly benefit from mental enrichment activities and daily exercise to keep her mind sharp and satisfied.
While Dot's natural instincts make her an excellent fit for any loving household, she would benefit from basic training to become more adaptable to various environments. Dot requires a secure, fenced backyard where her curiosity and love for play can be appropriately nurtured. She looks forward to finding a family who values her loyal companionship and is ready to provide her with a nurturing and enriching home.

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!
