Poor Ozzy 💔

We like to keep our posts a little different each day, but here we are promoting the same young pup again, with a simple message: Ozzy is still waiting.

Despite being a fun-loving, dog social, goofy boy with plenty of personality, nobody has come in to meet him yet. We think this 5 month old boy is pretty special, and we'd love the chance for someone else to see that too.

Could Ozzy be the missing piece in your family?

To read all about young Ozzy and other animals in need of homes at BARC please visit our website www.BendigoAnimalReliefCentre.com.au

Please contact BARC on 5441-2209 with any questions or to make an appointment to fall in love with a furry new family member.

When Oswald found out that his puppy pal Sourworm found a home on Saturday, he was certain his turn would be next. But while Sourworm is settling into family life, Oswald is still waiting patiently with no bookings. 💔

Just look at that face! This gorgeous 5-month-old brindle sweetheart is full of love, fun, and puppy charm. With his stunning good looks and affectionate nature, we're honestly surprised he's still searching for his people.

Could Oswald be the brindle bundle of joy you've been looking to add to your family? 🏡❤️

Don't keep this handsome young man waiting any longer. BARC have appointments available today.

🐾 October is Seniors Month! 🐾
To celebrate the wonderful senior members of our community,both human and animal alike, Bendigo Animal Relief Centre is running

Seniors for Seniors Promotion.

Are you a Seniors Card holder looking to welcome a new furry friend into your life? Perhaps you'd prefer a companion who is past the puppy or kitten stage and enjoys a quieter pace of life.
Why not consider one of our beautiful senior pets? Senior animals often make amazing companions, offering plenty of love, loyalty and affection without all the boisterous energy of their younger counterparts.

💕 If you're a Seniors Card holder and fall head over heels for one of our senior pets, you'll receive 50% off the adoption fee.

Today we found our senior 9 year old gentleman Biggles his new forever home with Fleur. ❤️ We know they are going to be very happy together 😻

Visit www.BendigoAnimalReliefCentre.com.au to see and read all about our wonderful animal in need of adoption.

🐾 Did you spot Gemma and Myles around Lake Weeroona yesterday? 🐾

If you did, you're not alone!

BARC staff were out and about with these two gorgeous dogs, and we were blown away by how many people stopped to say hello, give them a pat, and introduce themselves. Gemma and Myles absolutely loved the attention and enjoyed every minute of their adventure around the lake. ❤️

After a wonderful day out meeting so many friendly faces, Gemma and Myles headed back to BARC, where they're patiently waiting to meet the people who will take them home for good.

These lovely dogs are ready to become part of a family and join in all the fun that comes with it, from daily walks and weekend adventures to relaxing at home together and making memories along the way.

Could you open your heart and home to one of these wonderful dogs and welcome a new family member into your life?

🏡 Both are available for adoption now
❤️ Ready to become part of a loving family

🖤 Meet Stiffler 🖤

At 10 years young, this handsome tabby gentleman has perfected the art of looking important while doing absolutely nothing. Think of him as the feline equivalent of those concrete lions that sit proudly at the front gate of an estate.

✅ Expert window sitter
✅ Professional neighbourhood watcher
✅ Certified smooch enthusiast
✅ Stunning tabby coat

If your home is missing a wise, fluffy guardian to gaze mysteriously into the distance and occasionally demand affection, Stiffler may be exactly what you're looking for.

Meet this distinguished gentleman today. Just don't be surprised if he starts acting like he owns the place... because in his mind, he already does. 🐾

Available to meet and adopt Today.

Combat Wombat and Zendaya from Spiderman? Some may ask who, where and why are these animals named like this? Truth of the matter... the team at BARC are also a little nerdy, and heavy inspiration was taken from video games.

These two adorable legends were squad mates digitally and are squad mates for life IRL (in real life). There was no way we could separate these two so we are offering them both at half price, you get the whole squad for the price of one! Will you enlist them to be your new squad mates?
