To Anybody Who's Looking For A Dog In Qld/brisbane

[Pink Panther]

To anyone who's looking to get a dog who's from Brisbane or toowoomba, come and have a look at the rehoming dogs at the UQ gatton campus. They're all wonderful dogs, so if you're visiting pounds in search of a companion, come over to the uni and maybe you'll find what you're looking for. The reason I'm telling this on the forum is because gatton is a bit out of brisbane, so people don't often think about coming to the uni to adopt a dog, and they have trouble finding a home. Cheers everyone

I don't live near there but good luck with getting people's attention Do they have a website where people can see the dogs they have there?

PP I'm a vet student at UQ and it's a great rehoming programme we have going, especially for the greys that get left with us. I wish their advertising was better though!

The UQ Adoptions dogs & cats are listed on PetRescue. Here's the current listing below. You're right, the old centre where the pets were kept & could be viewed, was at the Centre for Companion Animal Health at the St Lucia, Brisbane, Campus of UQ. But I see now it's the Clinical Studies place up at the Gatton campus.

You're also right that the UQ adoption pets are great.

We adopted a puss from there a while back. UQ was excellent in their screening & matching. We wanted a puss that would be fine with our tibetan spaniel girls. Their slightly bulgy eyes are a bit vulnerable to any cat's claw swipes.

They helped us pick a cat that turned out to be brilliant. Our Sarah believes & behaves as if she's another tibbie. Right from the first day she came home.

Needless to say, the vet work is tops on these pets. And so is the socialisation. No wonder our Sarah is so good.

Isn't there some way these pets can be kept on the St Lucia campus or got closer to Brisbane? They're too good to miss & they really deserve good homes, too.
