🚨ROCCO IS STILL SEARCHING FOR HIS FOREVER FAMILY🚨
Our sweet little boy Rocco is still on the search for the home he can call his own. Rocco is an 8 month old American Staffy x King Charles Cavalier who is bustling with love, energy and loyalty. Rocco is very shy at first, he needs time to gain trust and confidence around new people/environments but once he is comfortable he strides around like he owns the place and is a nonstop ball of love. He gets along amazingly with other dogs and loves to make new friends (and get up to mischief with them), absolutely adores children but is untested with cats.
Rocco is still learning how to walk properly on the lead but is making amazing strides towards not pulling.
Rocco is available for meet and greets, we do not have allocated meet and greet appointments so if you're interested in Rocco please pop in and spend some time getting to know him and earning his trust!

Your friendly reminder that our surrender process is completely free! We do not charge a surrender fee, your pet just needs to pass a health and aggression check.

Our amazing volunteers and office staff make the process as judgment free and comfortable as possible, we understand for many surrendering is not an easy option and is often last case scenario, we always strive to make the entire process as calm, easy and caring as we possibly can.

If you want to start the process please give us a call on (07) 4128 2722 or send us a private message, please keep in mind we cannot in-take lost, stray or injured wildlife.

Our sweet little snuggler Silvy has found her forever.
She was chosen by her new family the moment they saw her and they simply couldn’t wait to meet her.
It was clear this was another beautiful match ❤️Happy forever, Silvy girl.
