Meet Chilli: your future best friend

Chilli is a delightful English Cocker Spaniel with a heart as warm as her name suggests. She’s a lovable, gentle soul who thrives in a peaceful environment where she can shower her people with affection and receive all the cuddles she deserves.

Chilli is the kind of dog who will steal your heart with her gorgeous eyes and her loving nature. She’s incredibly smart and thrives when she’s engaged in activities that challenge her, whether it’s learning new tricks for treats or playing games like hide and seek. Her playful side shines brightest when she’s in a comfortable and familiar environment, and she’ll happily spend hours keeping you entertained with her antics.

Though Chilli enjoys playtime, she’s also a master of relaxation. She’s happiest when she’s curled up beside you on the couch, soaking up all the cuddles you’re willing to give. Her love of snuggles makes her an excellent companion for quiet movie nights or lazy afternoons.

Chilli’s independent side comes out when it’s time for a walk—though she’s not a huge fan of her harness, with a little patience (and maybe a game of chase), she’ll cooperate. And once she’s out and about, she enjoys exploring, but don’t expect her to be the type who needs long, intense walks. Chilli is perfectly content with a leisurely stroll where she can take in all the sights and smells.

When it comes to her social life, Chilli is a bit selective. She’s more comfortable around calm, gentle dogs and avoids overly energetic or rambunctious ones. She also tends to be cautious around strangers, especially men, so she’ll need a patient owner who understands that she takes time to warm up to new people. However, once she feels safe, Chilli is a loyal and loving companion who will be at your side through thick and thin.

Chilli is also a little quirky in the most charming ways. She has a funny fascination with tissues and socks, and her playful curiosity will sometimes lead her to swipe one when you’re not looking. But don’t worry—she’s not destructive, just inquisitive and playful!

Although she’s not fond of loud noises or lots of commotion, Chilli is incredibly adaptive once she feels comfortable in her surroundings. She will thrive in a home where she’s given the time and space to adjust, and where her people understand her need for peace and quiet.

Perfect Home:
Chilli would thrive in a quiet home where she can receive lots of love and attention. She’s used to being an only child, so a home with a mature couple or individual who has ample time to devote to her would be ideal. Older kids (teens) and perhaps a calm, older dog (not a boisterous puppy) may be nice companions. She needs a gentle, calm environment where she can feel safe and cherished.

Chilli will not suit a home with young kids as they scare her. Please do not apply if you live with young kids or plan on having kids in the future. 

Special Note:
Chilli has some resource guarding of high value food and anxiety that needs further confidence building and training. She’s best suited for someone who can provide her with the love, commitment and understanding she needs to thrive.

At her core, Chilli is a devoted, affectionate girl who is eager to love and be loved. If you’re looking for a calm, snuggly, and clever companion who brings a sense of joy and warmth to your home, Chilli is the perfect match!

Chilli is part of our PetConnect program, is fully vet worked (desexed, vaccinated, microchipped) and has an adoption fee of only $350.

Adoption Process

We are committed to ensuring every pet adopted from us goes to a suitable loving home where they can live their happy ever after. We also like to ensure that the animal is best matched to the person's circumstances, lifestyle and family (especially other furry family members).

All of our foster cats are adopted to homes that are strictly indoor only or indoor with a cat enclosure or run. All of our dogs require suitable enclosed backyard space and daily exercise dependant on energy level. Our adoption process includes shortlisting of EOIs, video interviews with all household members, house check, adoption paperwork and payment, preparing for your new arrival and pickup.

Further information on the process is here.

Adoption Fees

  • Kittens (single): $450
  • Kittens (pair): $400 each
  • Cats: from $395
  • Cats (PetConnect): $250
  • Puppies: from $895
  • Dogs: from $495
  • Dogs (PetConnect): from $350
  • Other species: TBC depending on species, vet work required, etc
All cats/kittens and dogs/puppies are desexed, vaccinated (first), microchipped and parasite controlled. If they have a second vaccination while in our care then the adoption fee is $70 extra for kittens and $100 extra for puppies. Government / Council Registration (additional to microchip registration) needs to be done per State or Territory requirements for the species of animal by the new owner. PetConnect is our direct rehoming service where we screen animals in need of a home, ensure all vet work is completed and connect them directly to a new home without the stress of going through a pound, shelter or foster care network. We fundraise to afford the full cost of medical treatment and care which can cost us thousands per animal. Please consider making a donation to help us save more lives.**
