About Pud
Hi it’s Pud here. I’m giving you a new update on me because I have been with a new foster carer, who is also a dog trainer and she has taught me some new things.
I now know what is right from wrong. Now this may mean different things to different people and I get that! All you have to do is set the limits you want and I will learn them and respect my boundaries. I only want to please you.
I am very good in the yard, I certainly don’t bark at people walking past or other noises, but I’ll let you know if I really think you need to come and investigate something. I don’t dig, pull washing off the line etc like some dogs do. I don’t even cock my leg all over your plants, because even though I’m a big boy I still squat.
I behave nicely in the house too! If you want me to follow you around I will. I may just choose to sleep in a room where the sun comes in. If you tell me to stay on my mat in one place I’ll do that too. I’m just grateful to be near you.
Although my current carer likes having me in her house, she knows that not everyone lets their dogs in, so I stay outside during the day and I’m OK with this. Also if she goes out, I just go to sleep. (She got our neighbours to spy on me).
Just before it gets dark and very cold, she brings me in and I lay on my mat, until it’s time for me eat dinner. Then I go to the toilet and get back on my mat until bedtime, then it’s another toilet before bed and off to the laundry for the night. I don’t have ‘accidents’ in the house.
I love to play tug and have learned to control myself. I also play fetch with a ball but I do have my own version. I don’t drop it at your feet yet but its fine for you to take it from my mouth.
I struggled with what I should do when we see other dogs on a walk for a while. Now I know to look at her instead of getting over excited and she gives me a treat.
Carers thoughts: I think Pud would make a great ‘tradies’ mate or be with an active family with older kids (I think he would soon become best friends to a competent teenager). He has been very good with the young kids we have met (lots in our street), but due to his powerful physique he could knock a young child over in play. He has greeted elderly people as well as children on our walks and has learnt to sit quietly whilst they pat him.
He’s a lovely dog that doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and will do whatever he can to please you. He is a powerful dog who needs limit set but someone who is kind and consistent, who understands dogs, rather than someone who is over bearing.
I would be more than happy to spend the time with you if decide to take him on trial to help integrate this beautiful boy into your home.
Applications to adopt this beautiful boy are now being accepted. For more details phone Nigel on 6584 6142.

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, microchipped, 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.
