About Alex
PMAWS can't understand why Alex has not found his perfect home yet.
He is a 3.5 year old desexed male Kelpie x Smithfield.
"Alex is very happy-go-lucky, loves everybody and enjoys the company of other dogs, highly active and intelligent, full of the joy of life. No issues other then loving and being close to his family. Alex needs an active family with high fences or property, he will need daily walks and he sleeps well at night" says his previous owner.
He is happy to have a long or a short walk each day - he gets to run around the paddocks at King Creek, but can also be as laid back as you like.
He comes to pet Adoption Days each month and sits and waits patiently in the PMAWS van for someone to notice him. Never one to make a fuss, he takes everything in his stride.
Alex is a tough, independent, highly intelligent dog that is extremely loyal. He is very obedient and are exceptionally alert, eager to please and would make a devoted companion. He is good with children but because of his size, we would recommend children be over the age of 10.
Alex is a wonderful, well behaved and good looking dog with plenty of personality.
If interested in applying to adopt this beautiful boy, 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.
