About Bugs 34267 Campbelltown ACF
Hi I’m Bugs!
I didn’t have a great start to my shelter journey... I was emaciated and terrified of humans. My carers couldn’t come close to me for a few weeks. Then one day, someone took me for a walk, and I’ve never looked back! I’ve gained a lot of weight over the last few weeks, and still have a couple of kilos to gain.
I ADORE food! I especially love working for it. I can do ‘sit’ and I’m working on my loose leash walking. Food is my number one priority, and second is cuddles. I like to jump up and wrap my paws around you or sit on your lap. 30kgs is a lap dog, right?
I’ve come so far in such a short time, so I need a family who is experienced with dogs who have special behaviour needs. My new family will need to put in continuous work to build my confidence and offer stability. For this reason, I want to live with people who are 16+ years old.
I can walk around other dogs but for now I want to be the only animal in the household.
If you have a yard with secure fencing and will allow me to spend time with you inside when you get home from work, then please consider me! I have so much love to give and I promise it will be rewarding.
Love, Grub Bug. X

Adoption payment can only be made in person at the Animal Care Facility. We do not do adoptions or payments over the phone and require all potential adopters to complete a successful meet and greet with the animal prior to adopting. For dog adoptions, if a dog is to be housed with another dog after adoption a meet and greet between the two dogs must be conducted to ensure they are a suitable match.
When you have selected a pet, you will need to complete an expression of interest form which can be found on the animals profile on our website here:
https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/AnimalsandPets/AnimalsForAdoption If you are a suitable fit for the animal chosen, a staff member will contact you to organise a time for a meet and greet. Following a successful meet and greet with the animal, we can finalise the adoption paperwork and payment. Dogs and cats are booked into Council's contracted vet for the animal to be desexed typically the next business day. We will transport your new pet to our vet for desexing in the morning. The new owner is to collect the animal from the vets in the afternoon.
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. Please check our council website for the most up to date information:
