Meet our loveable Pets of the Week looking for their forever homes while at the RSPCA Illawarra Shelter.

Dog of the week: Coco

Meet Coco!

An affectionate and loveable American staffy mix, Coco is keen to learn about life from a loving and caring family.

Excitable and curious, Coco needs regular opportunities to seize the day with her family by her side to boost her confidence.

This sweet one-year-old has a big heart and would love a home where someone is home most of the time.

Coco needs to have indoor and outdoor access. Ideally, she would love a big secure yard to explore and sunbathe in.

A playful and loving girl, Coco is best suited to a home with no young children (although dog-confident children over the age of 12 would be fine) or other small pets, as she would like to have you all to herself.

She is still a young pup and will need an understanding and patient family to help her come out of her shell and live life to the fullest.

A lop-eared Netherland dwarf, Bentley's ears aren't quite sure what they're meant to be doing - but don't tell him that. He'd be very embarrassed.

Bunny of the week: Bentley

Meet Bentley!

A charming one-year-old lop-eared Netherland dwarf rabbit, Bentley is looking for a home that understands a bunny’s unique needs.

This ball of joy is quite the distinguished gentleman with his silky soft fur and big bright eyes.

His ears don’t have the characteristic lop, and most resemble wayward antenna – though don’t tell the dignified Bentley that.

He loves to munch on his favourite vegetables and explore all day long.

Bentley is a bit of a social bunny, so he would love to be part of a family where he can get lots of attention and love.

Bentley is gentle and friendly, suitable for a family with children, and would make a great companion for anyone.

Visit the RSPCA at 54 Industrial Rd, Unanderra, and add a new companion to your life – you won’t regret it! Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 3:30 pm. Closed Mondays and public holidays. Call 4271 3410.

Last week’s cat of the week, Crystal, is still looking for her new family. Budgies Candy and Cane have found their forever homes.
