Megan & Romeo

Romeo came into our lives at the end of January after things hadn’t quite worked out in a previous home. We were told he just needed a chance, and a bit of time, and those words couldn’t have been more true.

When he first arrived, Romeo was nervous and standoffish. For the first few weeks, he kept mostly to himself, taking his time to observe and adjust. But with each passing day, we began to see glimmers of the gentle, goofy soul hiding underneath.

As the weeks turned into months, Romeo began to relax, and his gorgeous personality slowly unfurled. Exactly three months after he arrived, Romeo made a very important decision: he claimed the couch as his own… and hasn’t looked back since! These days, Romeo is thriving. He loves his daily “walkies” and takes his sniffari duties very seriously (though he’s still working on walking in a straight line… swerving is kind of his thing). He’s an early riser and insists on morning cuddles to start the day off right.

Routine is everything to Romeo, especially when it comes to dinnertime! He has a special love for anything plush, particularly his beloved Bruce the Shark. He's also developed a hilarious habit of hoarding random household items and has a soft spot for shredding Woolies paper bags (one is never enough). And if you can’t find your uggs, chances are Romeo’s off somewhere giving them a thorough lick! Romeo has the sweetest, most gentle nature. He’s kind, sensitive, and endlessly endearing.

The early growing pains were real, but watching him come out of his shell has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. We’re so lucky to have him.

Love Megan

Cejudo

2 years old

Meet the lovely Cejudo. If he looks a little worried in his profile picture, well that is because he is! Cejudo is a young boy, with a lot to learn about pet life, he will require a special home that can help him continue to build his confidence and to understand that he will take some time to bond with his chosen family. Due to his timidity, we believe he will do best in a home with another dog of any size to show him the ropes and help him gain confidence. Cejudo has been to foster at a prison, through our Pet Partnership Prison Program, where he has had some more experience outside of kennels. Cejudo will require a quiet home with no children and will not suit living in a busy inner-city apartment.

She can be cheeky at times and will keep her family on their toes, however with an older lady she will likely just sleep the day away after her leisurely stroll around the block. Titch has successfully completed further training in our onsite behavioural rehabilitation program (BRP) and is now ready for adoption. Titch may suit living with or without a canine brother of similar size and children aged 5 years and older.
