Why hello there! I’m Dougal.
I know, it’s a bit dorky. But honestly, I think it suits me.
Because while I’m sure I’ll grow into a very handsome, clever and coordinated Kelpie, right now
I’m mostly legs, awkwardness and enthusiasm. and have absolutely no idea what to do with any
of it.
I didn’t have a great start in my short life, but I’m not letting that keep me down. With my sunny
personality, the Sunshine State seemed like the perfect place for me to get a second chance, so
I came all the way up from rural NSW to hopefully find my happily ever after.
I’m not asking for much. A nice bed, lots of pats and plenty of encouragement. Maybe some tall
fences so I’m not tempted to go adventuring. A friend would be great, of the dog or cat variety.
Kids would be even better.
And food. Lots and lots of food.
I might have a trim physique, but I love nothing more than eating to fuel my growing body and
big brain. The good news is that food doesn’t have to come in boring ways. I love games and
puzzles that put those super-smart working dogs genes to good use.
I’m only five months old, but I’ve already been making great headway on things like lead
walking, crate training and going to the toilet on cue. I haven’t nailed everything yet, but hey,
wouldn’t it be boring if you had nothing to teach me?
I’m a boy with a big heart and an even bigger brain, so I need someone who is ready to put me
to work and exercise my head just as much as my legs. I promise I’ll make it worth your while.
If you think your energy matches mine, we might be meant to be. After all, isn’t that how all the
fairytales end? They start from a sad place, go on a big journey, and eventually finds their
happily ever after.
I’m ready for mine.
Are you ready for me?

Adoption details
Adoption Process
Once you have decided you would like to meet or apply for one of our pets, we email out our Adoption Application. We ask that the Adoption Process be read and if comfortable with how we adopt, complete the application and email it back for processing. This takes approximately 5-7 days. If approved the pet will come for a 6 week trial for cats and 3 week trial for dogs . We believe it takes that long for a pet to settle. If all goes well during the trial and you wish to finalise the adoption we email all vet certificates and change of microchip forms. We believe in matching the right pet with the right home so your application does not guarantee an approval.
