About Baby
💛 About Baby
Baby is a sweet, affectionate girl with a heart full of love and a strong desire to be close to her people. Once she feels comfortable, her playful and energetic personality shines through, and she quickly becomes a devoted companion who wants to be involved in everything you're doing.
Like many sensitive dogs, Baby can be nervous around new people and situations at first. While children can make her a little unsure initially, she warms up with patience and understanding. Once she knows she's safe, she reveals her gentle, affectionate side and becomes a loyal best friend.

Adoption details
Please do not apply to adopt via our animals' PetRescue profile.
Follow the links below to be directed to the Wollongong City Council website, and find your preferred animal's online profile.
Once in the online profile, scroll down and click the link to complete an adoption application. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your application and suitability for your preferred animal.
If we deem the animal to be suitable for your home and lifestyle, an in-person meet and greet may be organised. Should your meet and greet be a success, you can take your new furry friend home that day or following their desexing surgery. Our team will manage all your animal's paperwork, including ownership and vaccination documentation.
