About Takka ~ Staffy X (on trial 15/5/19)
Meet sweet, little Takka. This 10 week old Staffordshire Terrier X puppy came to DRN with a missing front paw but nothing stops this little guy from enjoying every minute of life. A vet has assessed Takka as being a very healthy pup.
Takka is full of life and love, good with other dogs and children. Cats are an unknown but it would depend on the cat. Takka will grow up to be a medium dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.
Takka certainly doesn't think he is different at all. As a matter of fact he is right out there with other dogs, loves playing, rumbling and running into the water with his "sister" Cookie and the rest of the dogs
in the house. A home with another good natured dog would be ideal as he loves to play.
Takka is used to children and other dogs but be warned he can still dig with his front paws and does all the things that puppies do such as turning over bins and chewing socks!
Takka is a real lover and comes each night to sit on my lap and be petted. Soon he is fast asleep until he goes to his crate for the night. He has been surprising quick to toilet train and should have very few accidents in the future. Takka needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. He will be wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
Yes, I am looking for a Very Special Home for this Very Special Pup, a home where he will be loved and cared for forever.
As Takka is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he's approximately 5 months old.
For more information or to meet Takka, please contact his foster carer Lorraine adoptdrn@gmail.com Takka is in Lemon Tree Passage, NSW (Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle).
Takka’s adoption fee is $550 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and he's been treated for fleas and worms.
