Hi my name is Tyson! My siblings and I are named after the Percy Jackson book series. I'm one of four boys in my litter who were all born in foster care. I’m a super confident boy with an adorable meow!

I'm the most confident kitten out of my litter and have been the first one to try new things. I was first to start walking, first to explore outside of my bed when my eyes opened, first to climb the cat tree and many more. I’m willing to give almost anything a go and play with any toy put in front of me. I have a soft meow and will often chat to my foster mum whilst she’s doing chores.

Here are the things I am good at;
- I'm litter trained and have used a variety of litter so I’m not fussy.
- I'm learning to come when I am called and to sit on command!
- I love my food and will scoff it down when its meal time.

In my foster home I have lived with not only my siblings but also an older resident cat and two dogs so I am confident around both given the correct introductions. I have met older people, kids and everything in between so as long as I continue my socialisation then I will stay a confident kitten when meeting new people.

I can’t wait to meet my forever family so if you think you are the one, please fill out an application! I promise you will fall in love with me.

To keep this little guy safe (and protect local wildlife), Tyson will need to be an indoor only kitty in his forever home.

Tyson is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

⚠️ Parvovirus Alert ⚠️

We have received reports of canine parvovirus cases in our region and want to remind all dog owners to ensure their pets’ vaccinations are up to date 💉

Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease that primarily affects unvaccinated dogs and puppies. The virus attacks the gastrointestinal tract and immune system, and without prompt veterinary treatment can become fatal.

Signs of parvovirus may include:
• Vomiting
• Severe diarrhoea
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Dehydration

Parvovirus can survive in the environment for extended periods and spreads easily between dogs, making prevention especially important.

The good news is that parvovirus is preventable through routine vaccination.

If your dog is overdue for vaccinations or you’re unsure of their vaccination status, please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.

🐕 ZIGGY 🐕
BREED: Poodle x Schnauzer
GENDER: Male
AGE: 5 years
MICROCHIP: 900164002018179
GAR ID: ARP3

Meet Ziggy - your smart, athletic side kick!

Ziggy is a brilliant, social, and athletic boy currently staying with a professional dog handler. He is highly intelligent, learns tricks instantly, and thrives under clear routine, strong leadership, and consistent boundaries. He is a social pack dog who reads other canines beautifully.

ZIGGY'S IDEAL HOME
Active lifestyle: Daily brisk walks or runs are non-negotiable. He is a perfect partner for trail runners or beach lovers (he can jog up to 10–15km) and loves caravanning.

Experienced owners: Not for first-timers. He needs a confident family that establishes healthy boundaries. He shines when given structure, not just cuddles. Older children who can respect Ziggy’s boundaries could be suitable.
A Balanced Dog Sibling: He is a follower in a dog pack and must go to a home with a calm, stable canine sibling (no dogs with behavioural issues).

Part of the family: Ziggy has been part of the family and an inside dog. He cannot be left alone in a yard for 10–12 hours a day.
No Cats: Ziggy requires a strictly feline-free home
No Crates/Pens: He has historical trauma around confinement and cannot be crated. Further information can be provided from his current carer.

QUIRKS & CARE
Smart & Playful: Ziggy has zero food or resource guarding. If he's bored, he might steal a sock for attention, but will happily swap it for a toy or a cardboard box to rip up (his favourite "destroy" game).
On leash: Ziggy is harness trained, sits on command, and won't pull. He can show minor "Dutch courage" toward other dogs on leash but redirects quickly to a confident handler.
Bedtime: Ziggy sleeps soundly through the night on his own couch spot or under the bed. Though he’ll happily snuggle in the human bed when it's cold. Ziggy knows the command “on your bed” and adapts well to “his bed”

Grooming & Diet: Ziggy requires a comfort groom every 12–16 weeks (low-dander, non-shedding coat). He needs a frozen raw chicken drumstick every few days to maintain his dental health.

LIFETIME CARE & PERKS
Ziggy was surrendered due to the sudden illness of his lifelong owner. Adopting him comes with a fantastic support network from his current carer:
Free Pack Adventures: If adopted in the Geelong/Bellarine/Surf Coast area, the current carer will include Ziggy in their professional dog-trail runs free of charge.
Safety Net: The carer can stay as a secondary contact on his microchip and will gladly take him back if your circumstances ever change. They are also happy to dog-sit him for holidays!
Updates: The new family will ideally be comfortable with the current carer occasionally sending a photo update to his previous owner, who misses him dearly.

TO APPLY
If you are an active, dog-savvy family ready for a loyal, fun-loving companion for the next 10–15 years, please complete an adoption application form!

Ziggy is desexed, microchipped, up to date with flea and worm treatments and vaccinations.
