This week, RSPCA South Australia is thrilled to feature two remarkable dogs who are looking for a loving forever home together — meet Gnocchi and Pesto, bonded siblings with hearts full of affection and personalities that complement each other perfectly.
🐶 Gnocchi — The Sweet Observer
Gnocchi (AID 185785) is a gentle and thoughtful medium‑sized girl (approx. 15 kg) with a calm soul and a big love for toys and people. While she’s more reserved than her brother at first, she quickly blossoms into a playful and affectionate companion once she feels comfortable. She enjoys relaxing in the sunshine, playing with her favourite toys, and giving plenty of love to those she trusts. Gnocchi is happiest when by Pesto’s side and would thrive in a home where she can enjoy sunny afternoons and fun walking adventures.

🐕 Pesto — The Life of the Party
Pesto (AID 185786) is a lively and outgoing medium‑sized boy (approx. 20 kg) who lights up the room with his goofy antics and enthusiastic love for people. A true “life of the party,” he adores cuddles, treats, and games, and would thrive in positive, force‑free training classes where his intelligence and friendliness can really shine. Pesto’s playful spirit keeps everyone on their toes, and his heart is always full of joy — especially when his sister Gnocchi is right beside him.

❤️ A Forever Home for a Pair
Gnocchi and Pesto are much more than siblings — they’re best friends who support and comfort each other in all situations. For this reason, they must be adopted together into a home that can offer them love, patience, and opportunities for both relaxation and adventure. They’re both good with families and may get along with some other dogs, but they prefer to remain side‑by‑side.
These two loyal companions are waiting at RSPCA South Australia’s Lonsdale / adoption centre (now part of the Adelaide Animal Care Campus transition) for the family who will make them feel truly at home. By adopting Gnocchi and Pesto, you are giving not just one, but two deserving dogs a second chance at happiness.
