About Ziva
ZIVA WILL ONLY BE REHOMED IN THE PORT MACQUARIE AREA (at the discretion of PMAWS).
Ziva is a miniature poodle, 3.7 years old, full of beans. For this reason, she needs another dog in the home that she can play with. She enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to play tug-o-war with her rope toys.
Ziva does have a food aggressive streak and needs to be fed separately from other dogs. She has a tendency to gobble down her food so that she can get to the next food bowl before the other dogs have finished eating.
Being a poodle she has a curly non shedding coat (great for allergy sufferers)but it does require regular 6-8 weekly maintenance to keep her looking her best. \ Ziva has a skin problem around her tail area which requires regular medication.
Ziva can be pig headed and needs a firm hand sometimes, but will respond to authority. Poodles are highly intelligent and crave attention and affection. She loves being around her family but is not suitable for young children (under the age of 12). Ziva will not be permitted to go to a home where she is left alone during the day, so she will be placed with a retired couple/person looking for a loving and loyal companion.
Like all poodles, Ziva loves being the centre of attention and can get jealous of other dogs in the home.
She needs some daily exercise - poodles love to run! At the moment the dogs are spending most of their day just resting and sleeping, but are very active first thing on the morning, which is the ideal time time to take them for a long walk - before it gets too hot. We do not recommend walking in the middle of the day when the ground is hottest.
Applications to adopt Ziva are now being considered, so if you think she would be the right dog for you, you are welcome to make enquiries to Wendy on 6584 7027. Ziva will only be rehomed in the Port Macquarie area.
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.
