Meet Delma – The Professional Snuggle Consultant
Delma is the kind of dog who thinks life is best lived curled up next to you. She’s sweet, gentle, and steadily building her confidence—like the shy kid in class who suddenly discovers karaoke.
A+ roommate: Sleeps through the night, crate trained, and hasn’t had a single accident. Basically, she’s the dream flatmate who pays rent in cuddles.
Fitness goals: Yes, she’s got a little snack pouch tummy (don’t we all?), but she loves her walks and is clocking up kilometres like she’s secretly training for a marathon. At this rate, she’ll have a six-pack before the humans do (she needs someone who will keep up her slim down routine).
Obedience report card: Sit, lie down, stay, and come? All mastered. Sitting on hard surfaces, though? Hard pass. Delma insists her bum deserves the plush lifestyle only—blankets, grass, or carpet, thank you very much.
Work in progress: She’s still learning that being left alone isn’t the end of the world and is practicing polite manners around her food. With a little patience and a lot of love, she’ll keep blossoming into the world’s sweetest sidekick.
Delma is a cuddle bug, a walking buddy, and a loyal friend rolled into one. She’s soft, silly, and just the right amount of quirky—the kind of dog who will love you endlessly (and maybe steal your spot on the couch).

Can't adopt Delma? You can still help.
Although we charge a small adoption fee, this doesn't generally cover the costs of us getting our dogs ready for adoption. Desexing, grooms, vet care, vaccinations, registration, training and variety of other things can go into these dogs. If you'd like to help either on a one off or regular basis we would be grateful for your donation.
