About Elwood 34477 Campbelltown ACF
-Open to meet kids 12+ years
-Must be only dog
-Big softie!
-Approx. 23kgs
Hi, I’m Elwood.
I am a stunning boy and very affectionate with my carers. I can be a very sweet boy and would suit most lifestyles whether they be busy or quiet or active!
When I’m excited I can be boisterous and silly just like most dogs of my size, so children from age 12 up would be best to live with.
I don’t like the company of other animals so I should be the only dog at home. I like to run around and play with my carers so it would be nice to have access to a backyard. I would probably benefit from structure and boundaries in the household so I will be on my best behaviour when I’m inside with the family.
I am confident and outgoing so a firm handler would be ideal. I’m not going to be an easy dog but I promise you I’ll be worth it!
If you work full-time that’s fine, as long as my yard is fully secured and I have fun things to do like treasure hunting or enrichments feeders.
If you need extra help with settling me in, it might be a good idea to contact a behavioural trainer so I have a better chance of being your best boy.
I have a big heart and will try so hard to please my new owners. I already know how to sit, but I hope you can teach me more tricks!

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:
