Pup's Story

πŸŽ‰πŸΎ Professional Party Animal Seeking Full-Time Fun! πŸΎπŸŽ‰

G'day! I'm Pup, and if you've been looking for a quiet, sensible, dignified dog... well, you might want to keep scrolling. πŸ˜…

You see, I'm only 18 months old, and I've made it my personal mission to squeeze every last drop of fun out of life. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's written somewhere in the rulebook that it's not a party unless Pup is there! 🎊

Got people? Awesome! πŸ™Œ

Got dogs? Even better! πŸ•

Got water? OH BOY, NOW WE'RE TALKING! πŸŒŠπŸ’¦

I genuinely believe everyone is my friend. Strangers? Future friends. Dogs? Best friends. Life? One giant adventure waiting to happen!

One of my special talents is waving my front paws in the air like I'm conducting an invisible orchestra or celebrating my own greatness. 🎭🐾 I've also perfected an impressive 360-degree spin in mid-air, which I perform whenever excitement levels reach critical mass... which is often.

Some people say I'm spring-loaded. Others say I'm powered by rocket fuel. πŸš€ Personally, I think I'm just channeling my inner pogo stick.

Boing! Boing! Boing!

That's basically my life philosophy.

Because I'm such an active fellow, I'm looking for a home that can keep up with my enthusiasm for life. Adventures, walks, games, swimming, zoomies, exploring... yes please to all of the above! I'd absolutely love a canine buddy to romp and wrestle with too. Having a dog friend around would help me burn some of my endless supply of happy energy. πŸ•β€οΈπŸ•

Now, I'll be honest with you. Sometimes when I get really excited, I can be a little mouthy in a playful puppy way. I don't mean any harm, but because of my exuberance, I may not be the best match for a family with very young children.

At the end of the day, I'm an eternal puppy with a huge heart and a permanent smile. I wake up every morning convinced it's going to be the best day ever, and somehow it usually is. β˜€οΈ

So if your life could use a little more laughter, a little more adventure, a little more splashing, a little more bouncing, and a whole lot more fun...

I'm Pup, and I'm ready to bring the party home with me. πŸŽ‰πŸΎπŸ’™

Warning: Side effects of adopting Pup may include excessive smiling, spontaneous laughter, regular water-based adventures, and finding yourself saying "How is he still going?!" at least once per day. πŸ˜†πŸ•πŸ’¨


Pup arrived to us in terrible condition & tested positive for Heartworm. He is currently undergoing treatment. The RSPCA will cover all costs of this treatment until he tests negative. We are happy to discuss this with you further if you are interested in adopting him.

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
