Great pets ready to find their homes

From THE MARYBOROUGH ANIMAL REFUGE

POOR Rocky has been left behind twice.

Firstly, at the tender age of 3 months, he was dumped at a Pound in another region and ended up on death row.

He was saved and brought to the Maryborough Refuge.

But this puppy has now spent 4 months behind bars, watching as his companions in the pens on either side go to loving homes.

Now 7 months old, Rocky still has puppy playfulness with a fun and good-natured personality.

He is a mixed breed and looks as though he will be a larger dog. His brindle markings make him a handsome boy.

He walks well on a lead and is currently being toilet-trained.

This is better achieved in a home-setting.

Rocky is friendly towards children and enjoys the company of other dogs and puppies but has not been tested with cats.

Due to his atypical history, Rocky can be shy and nervous when viewed inside his pen.

He can get nervous if more than one person appears at the gate of his enclosure.

The best way to see his real personality is to “Thank organise for a meet and greet in the exercise yard. By and large, he is a happy chap and will make a great family pet, he just needs that special owner to come along and get him out of this Refuge while he still has some puppy days left to enjoy.

Rocky is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and Council registered and is available for the discounted price of $250.

WOODY

Unbelievably, this gentle, good-natured boy has been at the Refuge since 14 December last year. As a kitten of only 4 weeks of age, he had already been let down by humans.

He arrived at the Refuge in very poor condition with his mother and three other siblings, one of whom passed away shortly afterwards.

Woody went into foster care for some weeks, where he received the care he needed.

Woody is now in the best of health but has spent the last few months being overlooked for some reason that none of the Refuge volunteers can understand.

Woody likes children and other cats. He would suit a home with another cat as a companion. He is toilettrained and ready to be with a family.

At 6 months old, he is still only a kitten and would love the opportunity to enjoy playtimes in a home rather than a Refuge enclosure.

He has been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and is available for adoption at the discounted price of $150.

CAT FACILITY

The Maryborough Animal Refuge would like to let the community know that, although the main cat facility has had to be closed due to the urgent need for renovations, there are still a few cats and kittens regularly available for adoption in a temporary building at the Refuge.

For this reason, the Refuge still needs cat cleaners in the mornings.
