🐾❤️ Beautiful Camilla Seeking Her Forever Home ❤️🐾

ACTGSDA is helping our members Veronica and Wolf from Uhlmsdorf find a loving forever home for Camilla.

Camilla is a sweet 7-month-old sable female German Shepherd with a loving nature. She is very social, loves other dogs, is almost house trained, becoming confident in her crate, and enjoys outings to cafés, shops and plant nurseries.

Camilla would suit a home where her people are around often and where she can be included as part of the family. She must be allowed inside and would love a home with another dog.

If you think you can offer Camilla the right home, please contact:

📞 Veronica – 0414 302 465

Let’s help this lovely young girl find her perfect family. 🐾❤️

🎄🐾 And that’s a wrap for 2025! 🐾🎄

Today our Vice President Daniel and his bestie Eva from Team Iligden stopped by the club to give everything a final clean and tidy up before we officially close out the year. 🧹✨

What an incredible year it’s been — fantastic training nights, fun-filled events, and so many new puppies and members joining our ACTGSDA family. The energy, commitment, and love for the breed this year has truly been something special. ❤️🐕

💙 A special thank you to our committee members, volunteers, trainers, and of course our members — we couldn’t have done it without you all. Your time, effort, and passion are what make this club so great.

As we head into the festive season, we want to wish all our members and their families a very Merry Christmas, safe and relaxing holidays, and a happy New Year. 🎅🎁🌟

Here’s to an even bigger and better 2026 — we can’t wait to do it all again, see familiar faces, meet new ones, and keep building our amazing club together. See you all soon! 🥂🐾
