Adoption information
About Gus
Meet Gus, the sweet and affectionate canine who is ready to fill your home with love and joy.
Gus requires a secure 6-foot fence to ensure his safety when he does venture outside, although you will find him most content lounging inside the house with his people. He's a wonderful choice for a family with children or other dogs, as his gentle disposition makes him a great playmate and loyal friend. His food motivation means he's easy to train, and you can have fun teaching him new tricks and rewarding him with tasty treats.
Gus does experience some separation anxiety, so he'd be happiest with an owner who is home often. His loving personality will shine brightly when he's surrounded by the people and activities that make him feel at home.
If you're looking for a dog that will quickly become an important member of your family, Gus is the perfect match.
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- 1-4pm
Tues- CLOSED
Wed- 1-4pm
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!
