About Mitzi
Mitzi has a wonderful nature, although she can be a bit "bossy" at times. \ She would suit an older owner who can give her a daily walk and spend time with her. She needs to be an indoors dog (is toilet trained and will let you know when she wants to go outside) and needs a house with no stairs.
Mitzi is a very small dog, albeit a bit too heavy at the moment and enjoys a brisk walk around the block each day. She is 9.5 years old but has plenty of energy. \ She sleeps in her bed in the lounge room quite comfortably but doesn't like being left on her own for long periods.
Mitzi will only be re-homed with a retired person/couple. Her elderly owner reluctantly gave her over to us when she could no longer care for her properly.
Mitzi is a real personality and enjoys company, has no evident health concerns at this stage of her life. \ She gets along well with my other dogs but can be a little jealous of them at times. She loves nothing more than to sit on your lap, and thinks that she should be able to stay there all day.
Her coat needs some grooming occasionally and her face kept trimmed. She is quite fond of a nice warm bath. Her ears have been cleaned by our vet and need to be checked regularly.
She still has quite a few years of good quality life left and we are looking for the right owner to enjoy that life with her.
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.
