      Around $15 per kg, not bad deal.

    Good to know:
    - animal-vaccinated
    - separation-tested (some of them)
    - chipped (legally required)

    Just not sure if actually trained.

    Shows the quality of people who buy staffies when they always seems to be the top breed up for adoption -_-

      got moved to the forums.

      that being said, are the images showing for you guys? cant see the pics of dogs :(

  • Windows7forever on 02/04/2025 - 14:38

    Good luck. There is less than a dozen listed dogs here. Probably OOS already?

      Adoption fees are tiny compared to the total cost of owning an animal over the long term. So people don't rush out to adopt based on discounts like this.

      Regardless, call up beforehand to check if others are interested in the same dog.

    So many staffies at the RSPCA in Victoria. Bogans, hang your heads in absolute (profanity) shame

      Every shelter across the country it seems. Are they not ever spayed and castrated?

        A breed where supply somehow always exceeds demand…

    I want one, but have no time for them. I am practising constraint so upvote this comment out of sympathy and respect, thanks.

    For noobs, what would be a good breed, or should that not matter, like don't judge a book by its cover thing.

    • Geoff-bargain on 02/04/2025 - 17:16

      Oodles are very friendly. Very unlikely to get a rescue one as they go quick. Definitely take up a fair bit of time but well worth it.

    • snuke on 03/04/2025 - 00:40

      Breed 100% matters, do not get a breed that doesn't suit your lifestyle, not fair on the both of you.
      If you are highly active for example and want the dog to be, plus you have pet rabbits/birds/cats etc don't get a rescue grey hound, they are lazy as hell, but still built to chase small things.

      If you want a chill dog that requires minimal exercise, don't get a German Shorthaired Pointer, they are only warmed up after a half marathon.

      If you have small kids, don't get a Corgy, knippy little ones they can be (cattle dog).

      Plus a million more examples. If only more people asked the question you did, there would be less dogs waiting for adoption because the original owners had no clue.

      We have just adopted a dog (RSPCA Adelaide, BTW) seized by court order as he was abused.
      When seized, he was covered in faeces and fleas, and terrified of everyone.

      The RSPCA had to:
      Spend a month getting him used to people would not kick him, amongst other things.
      Pay for his medications to get him to the stage that he would not cower in a corner when people came to see him.
      Microchip him.
      Have a vet look after him for the month that it took to get him well enough to be put up for adoption.
      Neuter him.
      Give him all of his vaccinations.

      Money well spent, we reckon.

      The previous owners are being prosecuted, and he is (slowly) becoming a normal ltlle dog living with people who love him.

      My A$0.02 worth.

        You are right, shelters spend a considerable amount of time and resources to prepare animals for adoption. Also, majority of the shelters have to self fund all their work and the one or two welfare organisations which get government funding have to raise over 98% of their money on their own.

      Wtf. Do you have to pay to adopt these days. Sheesh.
      You would have thought taking a stray dog of their hands was payment enough

      Yes, because animal shelters are racking it in. And there are no costs to run them.

      Sheesh indeed 🙄

        Yeah we’ve heard of all those billionaires running animal shelters

  • mrmaltalian on 02/04/2025 - 17:23

    Do you need a sob/back story to adopt from kemps creek so that you can appear on channel 10 dog adoption show? Just wondering how prepared and creative I need to be to fit the part

  • hasselbladsnapper on 02/04/2025 - 18:06

    I can't imagine being "Kept" by a dog, yes they love! but if people did not as often require a dog for supposed emotional support then we would not have all these animals requiring re-homing . I guess when the love affair is over, it's out the door!!.

      I just wanna say you got downvoted by a dumbass but you're 100% correct.

      If you can't figure out your next 10 years of life, then getting a dog isn't for you.

      You'll always hear some story of some dude that got hit by a car and couldn't take care of his dog or whatever but it's always a cop out.

    Poor Hazel… Her ears were brutalised

      Beautiful dog.

    • Jigram on 02/04/2025 - 21:55

      Legit question - did a person do that on purpose? And if so, why?

      • MorriJ on 02/04/2025 - 22:57

        That's a tough call to make without knowing her breed. Anything theoretically is possible.

        Cropped ears are a big thing in many parts of the world, not legal in Australia though; but still done in Australia unfortunately. Cropped ears are humans hacking the tops of the dogs ears for asthetic reasons and often claiming there are medical benefits. There isn't any.

        There could be other possibilities - both ears could have had cancer, could have been mauled by another animal etc etc but it's looking a lot like cropping of ears.

        Kelpies have pricked and pointed ears - they part of the breed, but she looks like a cross with something - not quite sure what. She doesn't appear to have the obvious rear dew claws of the kelpie breed and missing a few kelpie traits, so parentage could have had funky ears too?

        • snuke on 03/04/2025 - 00:46

          she looks like a cross with something - not quite sure what

          Some type of wired hair terrier by the looks of.

          As she still has full tail intact, I am saying the ear thing was medical. I have seen dogs allergic to fleas that have the tips of their ears turn to crap and get cleaned up.

    • Grunntt on 03/04/2025 - 10:07

      Quite a few rescued dogs that I've seen have been badly neglected and, along with extensive flea infestations, also had badly flyblown ears that required surgery.
      Either way it looks like Hazel's had a poor start in life.

  • Grunntt on 03/04/2025 - 09:59

    Extra deal - Two for the price of one when you adopt Blinky or Pastrami (they are a bonded pair that must be adopted together).
