About Brutus
Brutus (nicknamed Guy) is a very special loyal dog, who would suit an older family as he doesn't get on with children and can snap at them. At this stage, we do feel that he needs another dog at home for company.
He is classified at a Toy Poodle, however he is quite tall for the toy group and stands almost as high as a miniature.
He is a devoted dog and can become a bit stressed when left alone at home, even with the company of another dog. He tends to howl and cry quite loudly for a short period of time.
The poodle is a very active, intelligent and elegant dog, squarely built, and well proportioned. The coat should be of naturally curly texture, dense throughout, thus requiring frequent grooming/clipping. The general cost of this would be approximately $50.00 and should be done every 8 - 12 weeks.
Classified as highly energetic, poodles can also get bored fairly easily, and have been known to get creative about finding mischief. Regular daily exercise is a must, they love nothing more than to chase each other around a field or oval. They are not couch potatoes, although like all dogs they do enjoy their "nap time". \
Ear infections are a problem in all poodle varieties because of their non shedding coat. Hair grows in the ear canal where it traps wax and dirt. \ Proper ear care includes regular cleaning and plucking of hair within the ear canal.
The Poodle makes a wonderful, loyal companion, truly loves their owner and wants to be around them all the time.
Brutus (Guy) is a very special little boy and is your typical poodle. If you love the poodle breed, this little fellow could be right for you.
Adoption details
The first step is to phone (preferred ) or email Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service for assessment regarding prospective ownership and pet suitability.
Adoption Application forms must be completed and include a vet reference and photos of yards and fencing. A property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
New dog owners must have a fully secure, fenced yard offering protection from all types of weather, subject to approval by PMAWS.
A 2 week trial period commences on the day of adoption.
All PMAWS dogs & cats are desexed, vaccinated, heart & intestinal wormed, flea & tick treated.
Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, it should be made to feel safe in its own room - we call this the "sanctuary". \ No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if it needs to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS urges all owners to keep their cats indoors.
