Hero was less than five months old when he was recently left tied to the fence at the Cranbourne Lost Dogs’ Home shelter.
The team wasted no time checking him over to make sure he was OK.
Nobody came looking for Hero, so it was time to find him a home where he’d be loved and looked after forever. With his happy-go-lucky spirit the team knew it wouldn’t take long.
Hero has now found the most kind and loving new family. He’s the first dog to be adopted from the new Cranbourne dog adoption area.
“Hero’s adoption is also special because it marks the expansion of our Dog Adoption Program,” The Home’s spokesperson, Suzana Talevski said.
“This will help find new homes for lost and abandoned animals like Hero and hopefully inspire the local community to adopt and change the life of a shelter pet.”
Only cats were adopted from Cranbourne with dogs being adopted at the North Melbourne site only.
Ms Talevski said while the majority of dog adoptions will still be carried out at the North Melbourne site for dogs with medical or behavioural issues, the expansion means closer access to dogs up for adoption for people living in one of Melbourne’s fastest growing corridors.
“This is a win-win for both the community and doggos. It means people will have to travel less and the
dogs that don’t need to go to North Melbourne will be adopted without the stress of travelling.”
New dogs will gradually become available for adoption at Cranbourne, supporting our main Dog Adoption Program at North Melbourne.
