Fred and Barney

Fred and Barney, the beautiful senior pair!

These two have had a tough year. They came to us in June in a terrible state, but with lots of TLC and vet work, they found a new home. Sadly, they were returned into our care.

Toilet training for this pair is a work in progress, as they were strictly outside dogs for many years. They will require a patient, compassionate owner who’s willing to put in the time to teach them this skill, and believe that old dogs can be taught new tricks! (we certainly do!).

Fred and Barney are so adorably bonded, they’re never far from each other. They find comfort in the presence of humans, and thrive on gentle reassurance.

We believe these two are so deserving of finding the perfect home to live out their twilight years surrounded by love. Can you offer these beautiful boys a home?

Tips for Finding the Perfect Match

Cats and Dogs can live up to 20 years, so it’s really important that you select a pet that is going to fit with your personality, household dynamics, and future plans. 

Lifestyle Compatability

Are you looking for a pet that is full of energy and playful? Or would you prefer a pet that is content to hang with you around the house all day, and nap on your lap while you watch TV or read a book?

Would you have the time and calm environment needed to nurture a shy, or fearful pet and help build back their confidence and zest for life? Or, would you prefer a pet that is outgoing or independent and that would slot perfectly into a busy home? It’s also important to consider the personality and temperament of any existing pets. How will they respond to a new addition to the family, and how will you manage the integration?

Housing and Council Regulations

The regulations for pet ownership differ between councils, this includes the requirement for registration, curfews for cats, and on/off leash walking for dogs. These are often easily found on each council website.

if you are renting, it’s vital that you consult with your landlord and secure their permission before applying for adoption.

Costs associated with owning a pet

All OAAT pets are vaccinated, desexed and microchipped prior to adoption.   They will also be up to date with all worming and flea treatments.  This is all covered in the adoption fees (which generally range from $200 – $900 depending on the type and age of the animal).

Cats and Dogs can live up to 20 years.  This is 20 years of feeding, vet care, council registration, toys, training, etc.  Does this fit with your budget and finances? How would you manage unexpected medical expenses if your animal was to become ill?
