Bonnie is a lively, playful, and affectionate young Staffy who’s ready to find her perfect match! She’s full of energy and loves nothing more than a good game of fetch — especially if there’s a ball involved. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you active and entertained, Bonnie is your girl.
💖 Personality Highlights:
Playful and energetic — loves running and playing ball
Responsive and eager to interact with her humans
Social with small dogs, but can be selective with bigger dogs
Affectionate and loves attention
Leash trained and toilet trained
Bonnie hasn’t been socialized with cats or pocket pets, so she’s best suited to a home without them. She thrives in an active household where she can burn off energy and enjoy plenty of playtime.
🏡 Ideal Home:
An active family or individual who enjoys outdoor activities
A home without cats or small pets
Someone who understands dog socialization and can manage her selective nature with larger dogs
Bonnie is ready to bring joy, fun, and lots of love to her forever home. Could that be yours?

When you find a pet you like, click the button on its profile page to fill in a form and register your interest in adopting. You can also call us on (02) 4227 7111 during business hours (Monday – Friday, 9am - 5pm).
We’ll then ask you a few follow-up questions to check that you’re a responsible pet owner and make sure that your chosen pet best meets your needs.
We’ll also invite you to meet your future pet in person to make sure you’re a perfect match, before finalising the adoption.
The only types of pets we offer for adoption are:
The cost to adopt will vary depending on how long the animal has been waiting for a home. Generally costs will be:
- Between $50 - $200 for a cat
- Between $75 - $300 for a dog.
Like all Council fees and charges, these costs will be reviewed each year. Any changes will be publicly exhibited for comment before they are adopted by Council.
Yes you can!
When you let us know you're interested to adopt a cat or adopt a dog, we'll contact you and arrange a meet and greet so you can say hello and decide if they’re the one for you.
Our dogs and cats are boarded at a number of regional kennelling facilities contracted by Council. These are currently located across Wollongong, Gerringong and Nowra. You can't directly visit these facilities, but we'll bring the dog or cat to a location in our area that works for you.
Being a pet owner is a big responsibility.
To adopt a pet from Council:
- You must be over 18 years old
- You don't have to live in the Illawarra, but you will need to be able to transport your pet home.
Before adopting a new pet, consider your lifestyle and living arrangements.
If you have any questions or concerns, our team is happy to talk to you about your situation. Please email us or call (02) 4227 7111 to arrange a discussion.
We recognise the serious issue of baiting within the animal rehoming industry. To help prevent this, we have an assessment process in place for potential owners.
Potential owners are vetted to make sure that they’re suitable and committed to animal well-being.
