Pets of the week

Dog of the Week: Boss

ID A112714

This should be the Dog of the Year because next week marks one year of Boss being in our care. These anniversaries often raise eyebrows but they make the staff and volunteers at RSPCA ACT quite sad.

Boss arrived as a shy boy with a fractured leg. But from receiving excellent care and now being walked and socialised every single day, he’s just marvelous, a real favourite of ours. 

Still only two and a half years young he walks well on a lead, likes people and toys and will make a wonderful pet. But as he’s basically lived half of his life at our shelter, he’ll take some time to settle into your home.

Come and visit Boss, a handsome boy who desperately deserves a family of his own.

Cat of the week: perhaps TBC – perhaps Ellie?

ID A128358

We love our older cats and it’s always wonderful to see how Canberra loves coming to the rescue of these beautiful, ready-made pets.

Olive here is 14 years old and arrived in rough shape. She’s affectionate and loves head rubs but on arrival she was badly matted and desperately in need of some TLC.

We gave her a relatively severe haircut and got her quickly looking fabulous again. She’s spent some time with a foster carer and loves her scratching post and her toys.

She likes her own space so would do best as the only cat in the home, where you can love your time together as sweet olive enjoys her twilight years. Come and meet Olive at our shelter.
