Nissy needs a foster carer
About Nissy
💕 Meet Nissy 💕
Nissy is a soft, sweet, gentle-natured soul who loves with her whole heart. She is the kind of dog who quietly works her way into your heart and, once she trusts you, gives you that beautiful loyalty that is so incredibly special.
Nissy is deaf and vision impaired, but neither of these things stop her from enjoying life. She has learned to navigate the world in her own way and doesn’t see her differences as limitations. She loves her people, loves her doggy friends and absolutely enjoys heading out on big pack walks with them.
She walks nicely on lead and has a lovely basic level of obedience. She is also a dog who enjoys the simple things in life — sometimes she just wants to sit quietly and watch the world go by.
And that’s okay.
What Nissy needs
Nissy isn’t looking for someone who has an expectation of what a dog should be.
She’s looking for someone who gets her.
Someone who understands that Nissy is a sensitive girl who may need time to settle into a new home, learn her new surroundings and discover what is expected of her. She needs someone willing to show her, patiently and kindly, how to be the best version of herself in her new environment.
She may not instantly bond with every person she meets — and that’s okay too. Nissy is a loyal girl, and her relationships are meaningful to her. She doesn’t hand her heart out to everyone immediately.
Her new person will need to understand that trust takes time, but the bond that comes from it is worth waiting for.
Nissy doesn’t need to be fixed.
She doesn’t need to be changed.
She doesn’t need someone to feel sorry for her.
She simply needs someone who will see her for who she is, give her the time she deserves and appreciate all the wonderful things that make Nissy… Nissy. 🐾
Because sometimes the most beautiful dogs aren’t the ones who demand your attention.
They’re the ones who quietly sit beside you, watch the world go by, and eventually decide that you are their person.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions. Deaf and limited / very low vision.

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.
