Meet our loveable Pets of the Week looking for forever homes while in care with Wollongong Pet Connection.
Dog of the week: Fido
Meet Fido!
A three-year-old American staffy cross, Fido is ready to bring joy and warmth into your life.
An energetic and playful companion, Fido is known for his affectionate and loving nature.
With a submissive and friendly disposition, Fido is highly social with dogs of all sizes and would be the perfect addition to a household with other canine companions or a social circle that includes furry friends.
Fido is leash-trained and responsive to commands – a bonus for those who enjoy leisurely strolls or active outdoor adventures.
Fido may need some toilet training to adapt to an indoor home environment, but this amiable pup is eager to learn.
Fido is a low-maintenance, hassle-free kind of guy. Separation anxiety? He’s never heard of it.
While Fido is generally not food aggressive, he has shown mild food guarding tendencies. This would need to be managed with guidance and understanding in his new home.
Apart from that, Fido is very easy-going, making him an ideal pet for first-time dog owners.
If you open your heart and home to Fido, you’ll welcome a delightful bundle of joy.
Whether it’s playing in the park or quietly napping by your feet, Fido is ready to be your loyal friend and cherished family member.

Cat of the week: Marbles
Meet Marbles!
This two-year-old domestic short haired girl is all about the snuggles – and who could resist those bright green eyes?
Friendly and loving, Marbles adores being held and is happiest when nestled in your arms.
Her sweet and gentle nature make her the perfect choice for a family-oriented home, especially households with children.
Quite the conversationalist, Marbles would love to be playmate and confidante to kids big or small.
You’ll never feel alone with Marbles around, and she will happily chat with you, offering delightful little meows to keep the conversation going.
If you’re looking for a furry friend who loves being in the company of family and enjoys sharing affectionate moments together, Marbles is waiting to become a cherished member of your household.
Marbles was initially diagnosed with a rodent ulcer on the upper lip. Upon analysis it appears she has underlying allergies or sensitivities.
This means that this will unfortunately be a lifelong condition for little Marbles, as it is the result of an overreacting immune system, however, it can be well managed through a sensitivity diet and Depo Medrol injections for flare-ups.
A future owner of Marbles will need to make sure they keep a close eye on her condition to prevent further trauma to the area.
If your home needs a cuddly, talkative addition, Marbles is ready and waiting.
To arrange a meet-up with Fido or Marbles 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.
