Bunyip needs a foster carer
About Bunyip
BOY do we have a pocket rocket of a puppy here!
At only 4 months of age this girl is not slowing down. Shes bold shes curious she will want to chest bump your resident dogs whether they like it or not!
Being staffy x Boxer you WILL have your work cut out for you.
Being deaf really isn't a facor in her training - you will need to commit to the stubbornness of the boxer, then resist the sad puppy eyes of the staffy while in training.
She will test you. She will make you question your life choices, but she will reward you with being one of the most amazing companions you have ever had.
She needs a chance. A lifeline. Someone genuinely committed to being persistent with her training (hand signs) and not giving in to the cute puppy behaviours.
Think you have what it takes? We would love to hear from you!
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions. Deaf and some mild skin irritations which are being controlled by medicated baths one a week.

Adoption details
Hear No Evil Adoption Process 🐾
Our adoption process is designed to ensure every dog is matched with the right home. We take the time to assess each application carefully so nothing is overlooked and every placement sets both the dog and adopter up for success.
1. Application
Complete our adoption application via the link below:
https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=vl2684&method=online_form_html&formid=21
This is the first step in helping us understand your lifestyle, experience, and what you’re looking for in a dog. Applications are reviewed and suitable applicants will progress to the next stage.
2. Phone Interviews (Two-Step Process)
You will be contacted by two separate members of our admin team for phone interviews.
We don’t rely on just one person’s assessment—having two conversations ensures consistency, allows different perspectives, and helps make sure nothing is missed. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions and fully understand what’s involved.
3. Meet & Greet / Foster Interview
If you progress, the next step is meeting the dog and their foster carer:
Local applicants: A meet & greet will be arranged with the foster carer. All members of your family should attend including if you have a resident dog.
Interstate applicants: A Zoom call will be organised with the foster carer. All family members should be involved.
This step allows you to get a real understanding of the dog’s personality, needs, and daily routine.
4. Yard Check
Prior to final approval, a yard/property check will be conducted to ensure the environment is safe, secure, and suitable for the dog.
5. Committee Review & Final Approval
Once all steps are successfully completed, your application is presented to the Hear No Evil Committee for final sign-off. All adoptions require committee approval before proceeding.
6. Adoption Finalisation
Once approved:
Adoption fees are finalised
Handover or transport arrangements are organised (interstate transport is at the adopter’s expense)
You’ll receive all relevant records and information
We also provide ongoing support to help both you and your new dog settle in.
