Pets of the Week

Dog of the Week – Athena

Here’s one of those beautiful pets whose face tells the story. We think she’s saying, “Are we going to play forever? Let’s be best friends.”

This girl is a people person, in fact, her greetings will blow you away because she’s just so happy to meet you. She’ll improve on this when she calms down, but wow, is she glad to see you or what!

Her face might also be asking you to throw the toy you’re holding. She loves games and we’re teaching her to fetch. One of the best things about Athena is her ability and willingness to learn new things. Experienced dog owners offering up some positive reinforcement will do wonders for her, and she’ll love it.

Athena will make a terrific second dog too, she’s very sociable and not just with people. Of course you’ll need a fenced yard and she’ll want to go for a walk each day but that’s normal. Come and meet Athena, you’ll love her.

 

Cat of the Week – Hilda

A large number of our cats are of the domestic shorthaired variety but every once in a while, an attractive, well-to-do, Mrs Fancy Pants Longhair strolls into our care, like lovely Hilda.

She sometimes acts a little bit like a slightly posh thing too, with her alluring fur coat and a propensity to find a high perch to sit and stare…and learn…and possibly judge you.

But just like your ears, nose and fingers on these cold Canberra mornings, Hilda will gradually warm up. She’s introverted until she trusts you and soon enough, she’ll decide that some company isn’t a bad thing.

Hilda is ten years old so must be respected for her age, she certainly doesn’t have the patience for another pet or a bustling, loud home. No, our Hilda needs a lovely, peaceful place to call her own. 

Come and meet this gorgeous lady, maybe she’ll allow you to adopt her?
