It’s National Adoption Month at RSPCA and we’re sincerely hoping the good vibes help us find terrific homes for our animals, especially our older dogs, some of whom have spent more than 200 days at our shelter.

However, on the theme of the past year, we once again have lots of puppies who need homes. These pups, Sasha, Brian and Johnny have been raised in foster care homes so they are used to people, homelife and routine (they are still very young and will need training).

Come to the shelter this weekend and meet the litter critters, along with more pups, they are all very sweet. And of course, please ask about our older dogs, we have many including Roxy and Bindi who are so well behaved and just desperate to love someone, all for themselves.

Ok Canberra, let’s do this again. Last week we featured a wonderful Indian Ringneck named Regina in this very article and she was adopted. No sooner had she found her new home than Egbert arrived and became available.

Egbert is a bit shy but slightly more hand-tamed than Regina. This means when he’s calm and comfortable with you he’ll hop onto your hand. In time we expect him to become very friendly, and he’ll grow more confident each day.

On a side note, our exotic animals team say Egbert apparently has some smooth dance moves. He also likes to whistle, so if you’re fancying a Friday night with some records and dancing, Egbert will, in time, be all for it.

Drop by the shelter to meet Egbert, no appointment necessary and we’re open for adoptions from 10am-3pm Mon-Sat
