Teacup needs a foster carer
About Teacup
***URGENT FOSTER CARER NEEDED***
Teacup is only 6 months old, yet this ex-pound pup has already bounced between multiple foster homes.
Our behaviourist had him vet checked — and discovered he is a CH (cerebellar hypoplasia) dog, something completely missed previously.
He has the typical CH gait, knuckles at times, occasional head tilt and suspected hearing impairment. His eyes can also appear to work independently, and he has patches of hair loss on either side of his head that are still being investigated.
But none of this changes who he is.
He is an absolute sweetheart — loving, social and fantastic with other dogs. He simply wants to be around people and be part of the action.
💔 Right now, he is struggling badly in kennels.
We urgently need a suitable home or foster placement where he can decompress and be understood.
We believe this beautiful boy is a young dog with neurological differences who has had a very rough start.
He deserves someone willing to see the dog, and not the diagnosis.
Medical notes
cerebellar hypoplasia possibly partial deafness

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.
