Meet Mikey 👋
Once a worried little chap, Mikey has discovered that life is pretty great, and he's officially appointed himself Director of Fun! 🎉

This clever, cheeky boy is all ears if you have treats training plan or even just a vague suggestion that something interesting might happen 🐶

Speaking of ears… we're fairly certain his satellite dishes have a personality of their own!

Mikey has mastered office life, happily snoozing beside his human while they work, but his productivity may vary when snacks are involved 💤😂

Mikey has one small area of ongoing professional development: visitor management. He can get a little carried away with his enthusiastic welcome committee, so he'll need a family who can continue his training and help him learn that not every hello requires a full red carpet reception!

He's a lovely walking companion who enjoys getting out and about, and he's looking for fun-loving humans who appreciate a dog with plenty of personality, enthusiasm and a whole lot of heart ❤️

Mikey has come such a long way, and now he's ready for his next adventure, preferably with someone with a pocket full of treats and loves a good laugh! Check out his profile online and apply to adopt today 👉 rspcaqld.org.au/find-a-pet/details/a2jMp00000DmRXuIAN/a1490518

105 days and counting for Earl 💔
Some friendships are worth taking one paw-step at a time! 😺

Earl is a gentle boy with a lovely personality just waiting to shine 🌟😻

He's already making wonderful progress and growing more confident every day, and we know there's so much more of his personality still to come.

Earl's dream is for a calm and cosy home where he can settle in at his own pace. Think comfy hideaways, scratching posts, high-up lookout spots and plenty of time to explore when curiosity strikes!

He's still figuring out his feelings about other furry friends, but with slow, careful introductions, he may be able to share his home with a friendly cat or a calm, social dog.

Could you help this sweet boy blossom into the happy, confident cat he's meant to be? Check out his profile and apply to adopt today 👉 rspcaqld.org.au/find-a-pet/details/a2jMp00000DhvQ9IAJ/a1483371

This graceful girl is ready to find her person to share life's adventures with, one step at a time.

There's always something new to discover when Sasha's around! 🐶

A social girl, Sasha loves getting out and about, taking relaxed walks, sniffing out new adventures and making furry friends along the way 🐕❤️

This clever girl is also keen to keep learning, so she's looking for a patient family who'll make training fun, offer gentle guidance and help her grow in confidence.

Sasha's happiest when she knows what her day looks like, so she'd love a home with a consistent routine and humans who aren't away for too long.

In return, you'll get a loyal companion with a gentle presence, a curious mind and a heart ready to grow alongside yours.

Meet Domino 👋
Sometimes, the best things take a little time to fall into place… and this handsome boy is no exception! 🐱❤️

Domino is a gentle, sensitive soul who can be a little shy when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places.

Shelter life can feel like a big, overwhelming world, so he's dreaming of a quiet home where he can take things one paw at a time and discover just how lovely life can be. And a patient person who understands that confidence can't be rushed.

Let him explore when he's ready, and celebrate those little moments when he starts to feel at home. Watching Domino's confidence grow will be a truly special thing! 🐾🥰

With kindness, patience and a whole lot of love, Domino could be the missing piece that makes your home complete ❤️

Hello, I'm Gunna! I'm a young guy filled with boundless energy! I'm super active and playful and will need to go to a home that can handle all this silliness! I am a smart boy though, so if my new owners commit to ongoing training then I will become an awesome dog! I do lack socialisation around other dogs, but I do eventually get over myself and have made some female dog friends! Because of this, I will need an experienced owner and be either an only dog or I could potentially live with a confident female dog that can show me the ropes! I am a puppy at heart even though I am a big boy, so older kids would be preferred as I can get a bit bouncy! Even though I have a few things to work on I am a charming young man who has a lot of potential, I just need the right owner who understands my needs. So, if you think that's you, then come meet me today!

Hi there Pawticia, and I was named after Morticia from the Addams family! But the staff here decided it didn't really fit me, so they decided it was Pawticia. I'm a very sweet girl who loves a good chin scratch, but I do tend to keep to myself, and I am still a bit shy and getting used to my surroundings. But once I start to warm up to you, I become such a confident girl! I have not been around other cats, but here at the shelter I don't mind saying hello to them. So, I think I wouldn't mind going to a home with a calm male cat. I would love for you to come and meet me!

👻 Boo!
Howl-o-ween's almost here, but let’s keep the scares fake and the animals safe 🐾🎃

Here’s how to make your spooky celebrations wildlife-friendly and pet-approved 👇

🕸️ Skip the spider webs: Those fake webs might look spooky, but they’re bad news for birds and bats who may ingest the synthetic fibres, become entangled or try lining their nests with them. Keep it indoors or skip it altogether to protect our native friends.

🦴 Decorate with care: Little plastic props or tinsel bits can be tempting chew toys (and dangerous choking hazards). Keep them out of paw’s reach!

🍫 No tricks, no treats: Chocolate and lollies are toxic to pets. Keep the tempting treat bowl from being sniffed out and clean up any stray wrappers.

🎭 Keep costumes comfy: If your pet’s dressing up, make sure they can move freely, stay cool and are supervised. Keep outfits short-lived and fun, never forced. If they look stressed, skip the outfit.

Let’s make this Halloween fun while avoiding those real-life scares for pets and wildlife 👻🎃

From factory floors to treetops 🐨🌿
This curious koala caused quite the surprise when she wandered into a factory in Salisbury - definitely not where you’d expect to find a koala!

Thankfully, the workers knew something wasn’t right and quickly called for help. Our RSPCA Rescue Team collected Ellie and brought her in to be checked over by our Wildlife Vet Team.

With a clean bill of health, there was only one thing left to do – get Ellie back where she belonged ❤️

Our Rescue Team found Ellie a suitable spot in nearby bushland to where she was found, and set about choosing the perfect tree. Safe to say Ellie approved! She quickly climbed her way to the top and settled in like she had never left!

With koala breeding season underway, more koalas are on the move and can sometimes turn up in unexpected places.

If you live in koala habitat, please help keep them safe by containing pets, keeping dogs on leash when walking through bushland and making your backyard koala-friendly.

And if you spot a koala somewhere unusual or potentially unsafe, please call the RSPCA Emergency Hotline on 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625), or your closest wildlife carer for help 🐨❤️

250 days and counting for Kaylee 💔
How has this clever, toy-loving girl been waiting this long for her forever home?! 🥹

Meet Kaylee! She's smart, fun and fiercely devoted to her favourite people. In fact, we're pretty sure she thinks she's a human herself! 😂

She’s even a regular superstar at our Happy Paws Happy Hearts training sessions, where she loves showing off her skills and proving that learning can be heaps of fun.

When she's not busy being a very good girl, Kaylee loves a game of tug, chasing a ball or entertaining herself with her favourite toys. And when playtime is over? She's more than happy to put her paws up, curl up nearby and enjoy a tasty Kong.

On Kaylee's wish list is a family who'll include her in their everyday adventures. She'd also prefer to be your one and only furry friend and she's got plenty of love, loyalty and personality to go round! 🐶❤️

She's spent 250 days waiting for someone to choose her. Could you be the one to show Kaylee what forever feels like? Check out her profile online and apply to adopt today 👉 rspcaqld.org.au/find-a-pet/details/a2jMp00000DSfRvIAL/a1358515
