Adoption information
I've been adopted!
About Ricky. Ref: 27884
I was very scared and shy when I arrived at the shelter. I have settled in more now and I am happy and active in my kennel. Hard to say if I like the company of other dogs yet, as I do react to other dogs who are barking at me, but that might just be because I am still not 100% confident here at the shelter. You see, when my carer takes me out to the exercise yard, I walk beautifully on lead and like to sniff around, but I am still very shy and just lay down (in puddles which meant my carer had to dry my jacket!) and look out of the yard watching the world around me. My teeth are very worn down, in particular my front teeth and canine teeth, which means sometimes my tongue sticks out and I don't notice! I'm an older gentleman looking for somebody to make me a part of their home and live the rest of my life in luxury.
Adoption details
Please note: many of our animals came to us as strays, as such we may have minimal to no information about their past. All our animals temperaments are based on what we witness within the shelter environment. They may behave differently in an environment outside of the shelter.
You are welcome to visit the Animal Care Facility at 2 Rose Street, Campbelltown, or contact us on 4645 4790 during business hours for information about animals.
Business hours:
Monday – 9am to 3.30pm
Tuesday to Friday – 9am to 3pm
Saturday – 9am to midday
(Closed Sunday and public holidays)
The price for puppies (six months and under) includes their first vaccination, desexing and micro-chipping. The price for dogs over six months of age includes first vaccination, heartworm testing, desexing, micro-chipping and registration.

When you have selected a pet and made your payment, your animal will be de-sexed before it can go to it's new home. If the animal is not already de-sexed, an appointment will be made with Council's contracted vet for the animal to be de-sexed, which can take 1-2 business days, depending on availability. Your new pet is then taken to the vet by us and the animal is de-sexed. The vet will contact you (as the new owner) to let you know when your pet can be collected.
Please note that this adoption profile may not be the most up-to-date information available, due to the constant movement of animals into and out of the facility.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
