About Tess
Tess is a lively and intelligent dog with a delightful combination of independent spirit and people-focused loyalty. Tess has a curious mind and a cheeky demeanor that never fails to bring smiles to those around her.
A true "velcro dog," Tess forms strong bonds with her family, and once trust is established, she becomes incredibly affectionate. While she may be a bit wary of strangers at first, her friendly and loving nature shines through with time and patience. Tess is ideally suited to a home with secure fencing where she can satisfy her curiosity safely.
Although neutral with other dogs, Tess would be content either in a multi-dog household or as a solo pet. She's happy to share her space with kids of all ages, making her an excellent addition to any family. With a bit of basic training and mental enrichment, Tess's high trainability will allow her to thrive, bringing joy and companionship to her new 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
Sat- 9am-12:30pm
Sun- CLOSED
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!
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
