Meet our loveable Pets of the Week looking for forever homes while in care with Wollongong Pet Connection.

Dog of the week: Hades

Meet Hades!

This four-year-old mastiff boy is a big, lovable boofhead of a dog who is ready to bring love and joy into his new home!

Don’t let his size intimidate you – Hades has a sweet and loving nature that will win you over in no time.

His heart is as big as his personality, always eager to please and shower those around him with affection.

Hades may be strong on the lead, which is why he’s seeking an experienced owner who can commit to ongoing training.

With dedication and a little guidance, Hades will surely become the well-mannered canine companion he strives to be.

Whether you’re seeking an outdoor adventure buddy or someone to join your weekend family gatherings, Hades is your guy.

He thrives in an active environment where he can exercise both his body and mind.

Imagine countless days of walks, training sessions, and playtime with this lovable pup by your side.

Hades is eager to embark on this journey with you, ready to join a committed new family that sees the wonderful dog he truly is.

Cat and kitten duo of the week: Margo and Josie

Meet Margo and Josie!

One-year-old mum Margo and her kitten Josie came into care when Josie was a tiny newborn.

Margo is a shy young calico with a gentle heart and her daughter Josie is an incredibly sweet and spirited young kitten.

To ensure their well-being, Margo and Josie were placed into a loving foster home in early May.

During their time in foster care, Josie has blossomed into a sociable and playful kitten, while Margo has gradually overcome her initial shyness.

They are deeply bonded, and are looking for a loving new family to welcome both of them into their home.

Margo and Josie’s journey is a testament to the strength of family and the comforting power of companionship.

Josie and Margo share a strong bond that can only come from the start of a life together, and we are seeking a loving new family who can accommodate them both.

With her nurturing instincts Margo feels more at ease when Josie is nearby, and together, they create an endearing duo that melts hearts.

Margo may start off in a corner, but with some gentle love and patience, she’ll soon come to a lap for a snuggle and show you how she really feels.

Their shared moments are filled with mutual grooming, playfulness, and exploring every corner of their surroundings.

Josie’s social and playful nature becomes even more radiant as she encourages her mom to join in the fun.

Margo’s dream home is one that provides an abundance of love and a quiet space for her personality to continue to blossom.

By adopting Margo and Josie, not only will you be welcoming two wonderful companions into your life, but also joining them on a delightful journey as they grow and explore the world together.

Take the chance to become part of Margo and Josie’s story as these special cats continue to flourish.

To arrange a meet-up with Margo, Josie or Hades, fill out the ‘apply to adopt’ form on the Wollongong City Council website. A council officer will contact you to arrange a meet and greet with your potential new furry friend at a convenient location to you.
