About Tony
Tony is a charming young dingo*, we think about 15 months old.
Nothing is known of his history, as he was dumped in the pound night cages with no chip and no notes. But he has adapted well to foster care, and is looking for a dingo-savvy family to live his best life.
He is a beautiful boy, small for breed only weighing 15kg. True to breed, he is timid, but he wants to trust you and with patience will give and receive affection on his own terms.
He has learnt trust in foster care, and just loves to come up for an ear scratch. But he is not a cuddler - that's just too confining.
He is currently living with 7 host dogs and 2 other foster dogs. He loves his dog family, and especially the ones around his size like the cattle dog and kelpies. Or puppies and other young dogs - he loves to play with those. Tony does very elegant zoomies around the house yard when he is happy.
Not surprisingly, he is interested in the chickens through the fence but takes guidance from the livestock guardian dogs when they tell him to move along.
He is a thief and it's your fault, not his, if you leave your wallet/handbag/shoes/etc out where he can steal and hide them for later examination. He is not destructive, just curious.
His breed being regarded as only semi-domesticated, he is forever on alert. He needs space to retreat to when he wishes, and good fences. If he is given his space and time you will be rewarded by a highly bonded loving dingo.
Tony's communication style is quite characteristic of dingoes, with huffs, howls and yodelling and it adds to his unique charm. He has learned something resembling a bark in foster care. He does lead the choir in dingo Xmas carols, and the rest of the dog pack joins in.
Tony possesses a combination of intelligence, handsomeness, and loyalty, making him a remarkable companion. BUT only for someone with the knowledge and desire to let him be himself.
He is looking for a home that has the time, knowledge and patience to allow him to thrive.
*Awaiting DNA test results but no one is in doubt.
Adoptions to NSW ONLY, as laws on keeping dingoes vary between states.
Medical notes
Healthy boy.
Adoption details
In the ENQUIRY SECTION please explain in LENGTH some basics about yourself/ your life/ your household and what type of life you can provide for one of our rescue animals.
If successful, you would be contacted by phone, where we will talk about your enquiry and potentially organise a meet and greet between you/ your dogs/ your family and the potential candidate
From there, you can either take your animal with you if the meet and greet was successful and their vet work has been completed- or if the vet work hasn't been completed, you must wait until it's finished before taking your new friend home which will be organised between yourself and the foster carer.
Every animal has a 2 week trial period.
