Wollongong Pet Connection's Pets of the Week: Meet Bert and Nick!

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

Dog of the week: Bert

Meet Bert!

Bert is a four-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier who is the perfect blend of friendly and social.

The epitome of easy-going charm with a side of unconditional love, Bert is the friendly, laid-back companion you’ve been looking for.

With his fun-loving personality, Bert knows how to bring joy and laughter to any room he enters.

While his sister Pepe was recently adopted, we’re still looking for the perfect home for Bert.

Bert is wonderfully social, thriving in settings where he can interact with both dogs and people.

Bert’s mellow disposition and inherently non-reactive nature make him an absolute joy to have around, whether he’s interacting with other dogs or greeting new human friends.

He has a natural ability to form connections and enjoys playdates at the park where he can romp around with his canine companions.

While Bert is perfectly capable of a leisurely walk, don’t be surprised if he prefers the coziness of home to a day out.

Walking with Bert is a breeze; he strolls by your side with barely a gentle tug on the lead, matching your pace with his slow, ambling gait.

His true passion, however, lies in being a couch potato! He’s happiest lounging comfortably, ready to snuggle up next to you as you wind down with your favourite show or a good book.

Bert’s genuine affection for people means that he’s always ready for a pet, a hug, or just a moment of your attention.

Bert’s ideal home would be one where he can enjoy the company of both humans and other dogs without the rush of constant activities.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, friendly dog who will fill your home with companionship and serenity, Bert might just be your perfect match.

Your heart and your couch are about to get a whole lot fuller!

Cat of the week: Nick

Meet Nick, a charming 10-year-old ginger and white domestic long hair cat who is ready to fill your home with love and companionship.

With his luscious coat and captivating eyes, Nick is not just a sight to behold but a sweetie at heart.

Adapting well in his current care setting, Nick has shown his friendly and affectionate nature, often seeking out pats and cheek rubs.

Despite his age, Nick still has plenty of love to give.

His gentle demeanour makes him the ideal companion for someone looking to share their home with a calm and loving feline buddy.

Whether you’re curling up with a good book or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Nick will be right there beside you, ready to share in the coziness and warmth of each moment.

Perfect for those who appreciate the charm and wisdom of a senior cat, Nick is hoping to find a peaceful abode where he can enjoy his golden years.

His heart is filled with affection to offer, and he dreams of a quiet, loving home where he can settle in and enjoy each day, bathed in the love and care of his new family.

If you’re ready to open your home to a delightful companion, Nick may be the perfect addition to your life.
