About Gemma
Gemma is a very special dog with plenty of love to give. She would benefit from obedience training. Gemma travels well, as these photos indicate, she is very strong and would suit an active family or couple.
After having Gemma in foster care with another large dog, it is evident that she does NOT get along with other dogs and therefore should be the ONLY dog in the household.
Gemma is a young dog and will require a good sized back yard in which she will be able to run around freely. She will require colour bond fencing (preferably) with gates and locks. She has been an outside dog but would need to be part of the family unit and as such should be permitted indoors on occasions.
Her personality and temperament are excellent, she shows no signs of bad behaviour and is easy going around people. Gemma will need some daily exercise and plenty of mental stimulation.
Her short coat will be easily maintained with brushing and washing when necessary. Her health is excellent.
Because of her large size, it would be best if she went to a home with no small children - she is very strong although friendly.
Applications to adopt this beautiful girl are now being accepted. For more details on Gemma please 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.
