Adoption information
About Cyclone
Cyclone is a 6 Month old Deaf cattle dog now ready to find his forever home.
He has been working hard on self settling, as when he came into care he found it difficult to "calm down".
He is a very intelligent boy eager to learn. He has already learnt to Check-In (recall), Sit, Wait, Down, Come Here, left paw shake and right paw shake. He is now working on loose lead walking and roll over.
Cyclone, despite his name, needs a calm home, one that will continue his training and he would thrive at agility or water sports. He LOVES swimming!! And thinks it is always too early when we try and leave the creek or dam.
He also lives with 2 cats and although we would say he is cat friendly, he is still learning it is not OK to chase them but he is smart so wont be long until they all co-exist beautifully. He loves all dogs and lives with a 6 year old Kelpie x and a 2 year old staffy he loves to play all day.
If you feel you would be a good match for this clever, cheeky little heeler, please complete an adoption form and then we will give you a call to discuss further.
Currently located Gatton QLD however interstate will be considered for the right home.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions. Deaf.
Adoption details
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
Interstate applicants: A Zoom call will be organised with the foster carer
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.
