Megan Benton

Location: Currently residing at AAPS, Keysborough.

Desexed: Yes… life’s done that for me.

Vaccinated: Fully up to date.

Microchipped: No, but always answers to “Can I just ask you one more thing…”

House Trained: Absolutely.

Good with: Dogs · Cats · Kids · Grandkids · Volunteers · Donors · Coffee.

Energy Level: High. Requires daily walks, regular laughter and the occasional beach sunset. May experience spontaneous zoomies when adoption numbers are high or a grant gets approved.

Personality: Loyal, optimistic, resilient and affectionate. Loves a cuddle, deep conversations and believes every animal deserves a second chance. Has been known to talk about rescue animals longer than socially acceptable.

Favourite Activities:

• Long walks with shelter dogs.
• Convincing people to adopt.
• Drinking coffee while solving impossible problems.
• Turning impossible situations into successful ones.

Ideal Home: Someone with a kind heart, a good sense of humour and a love of adventure. Must understand that occasional conversations will revolve around dogs, cats and changing the world.

Medical Notes: May occasionally suffer from compassion fatigue, but responds well to holidays, beach walks, wine and puppy cuddles.

Special Needs: Needs someone who believes in honesty, loyalty and laughing every day.

Reason for Surrender: Came into care through absolutely no fault of her own.

Length of Stay: Approximately 14 years at AAPS. Starting to wonder if she’s become a permanent resident.

Adoption Fee: No fee. A donation to help the animals would be appreciated.

Please note: this human comes with a lifetime commitment to animal welfare. Side effects may include unexpected road trips, stopping to pat every dog encountered and an inability to scroll past lost pet posts without trying to help.
