Dog of the Week: Pem
If you’re after a whole lot of dog, look no further than Pem. A gentle giant with a goofy grin and a heart of gold.
Pem is a polite and amiable adolescent pup who thrives on social connections. He’s the kind of dog who’ll make you smile every day, whether he’s gently nudging your hand for pats or bouncing with excitement when he sees you. (Yes, there may be a bit of a jumpy hello at first, but he settles quickly into being your loyal sidekick.)
He’s a dog-friendly dude who enjoys daily playdates with his fellow canine pals, and we think he’d especially benefit from the guidance of a confident older female dog in his new home.
While Pem is generally easygoing, he can be a little spooked by new experiences and unfamiliar people. With a bit of patience and positive socialisation, his confidence will blossom. In return, you’ll get a big-hearted companion who’ll never stop trying to make you smile.

Cats of the Week: Olly and Lily
Meet Olly and Lily, the sweetest sibling pair you’ll ever lay eyes on. These affectionate bonded cats were originally adopted from us as kittens but were sadly surrendered due to unforeseen circumstances. Now, they’re back with us, looking for another forever home, one that will love them as much as they love each other.
Olly and Lily are the definition of companions. They’ll follow you from room to room, curl up beside you for naps and gently ask for your attention with soft purrs and nuzzles.
They’re also fan favourites in our school holiday program, with the visiting kids adoring them.
These two would be happiest in a calm, predictable environment since they can be a bit wary of loud noises or sudden activity. But once they settle in, they’ll reward you with quiet devotion and double the love.
When you mention their names to our cattery team, you’ll see faces light up; that’s how special these two are. Chilled, cuddly, and deeply bonded, Olly and Lily are ready to fill one lucky home with love.
