Bindi is one of our favourites. She’s so sweet. The best fun you can have is give her a new plush toy and watch her go. She’ll carry it straight to her bed and settle in for a good “squeak-a-sectomy.”

She’ll carry that new toy around and she can’t wait to show you her other toys too. Her entire back half wiggles with excitement when you visit her. She loves people, loves attention and even loves a good snuggle.

The most likely reason Bindi is still with us after 250 days is she doesn’t cope with other dogs. That means if your neighbour has a dog or if you encounter dogs on walks, she’s going to react.

It sounds like a lot but that’s her only one bad thing. We wish all dogs could demonstrate the levels of affection and appreciate Bindi has for people. There simply must be a home out there for her. She’s just too nice to be stuck here.

This sweetheart is Aioli, a shy boy. He arrived with us and was placed into foster care before coming back to the shelter and what we observed is he takes a few days to settle. When his environment changes, he withdraws.

The photo of Aioli was taken by his foster carer and we have more of him lounging around and playing. Once settled, he’s a great pet. He doesn’t mind a head scratch and a snuggle, that’s for sure.

We have a few cats like Aioli here right now waiting for adoption however, overall whether you’re adopting a cat, a dog or otherwise, you should expect there to be a period from a few days up to a month before they settle into your household routines.
