Hi, I’m Shadow!
When I first arrived at the facility, I was so scared, but in time I have become more confident especially around the people I know. I still need some work on my confidence around new people and new environment, so my new owners will have to be patient and understanding of this.
Due to my timidity, I would be best for a family who has owned dogs before and can read basic behaviour to know when I am overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
I am a kelpie, which are typically an active and intelligent breed. I’d love to go on little adventures to quiet areas where I can use my all my senses to explore my surroundings. This is a great way to stimulate me mentally and physically! Otherwise, puzzle feeders and food hide and seek games around the house and backyard would be great too.
I absolutely adore affection. I roll straight onto my back for belly rubs and get so excited when I’m getting attention from humans. Sometimes I like to do zoomies, so a backyard with secure fencing would be ideal for me.
It would be great if my owners let me inside when they’re home so I can cuddle up at their feet and accept belly massages.
I’d be better with older children just to ensure I am always comfortable and don’t get overwhelmed by loud noises and fast movements. I have met other dogs at the facility, and they are quite scary to be around! But I may be open to meeting dogs who are my size or smaller, and similar in nature.
I’m not very interested in toys here, but that may come in time once I’m settled into my new home.
If I sound like the perfect little one for you, submit an expression of interest below!

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:
