About **On Trial** Puka
Hi I’m Puka, named after my hometown of Pukatja/Ernabella in the APY lands. The other dogs in the community picked on me so I was brought down to Adelaide and am now in Scruffer Lovin’ care.
My foster mum describes me as a lovable larrikin, always wriggling and climbing into odd spots for any chance of cuddles or food. I’ve got plenty of energy and so much love to share, I love love LOVE people, especially when they cuddle and play with me. I’m also happy to just be around you though, if you’re busy I don’t mind I’ll just lay by your feet! I also like to help my foster mum with the gardening (ok, I mostly supervise), and bring back all the toys she throws.
Because of my past I find other dogs scary, so I bark at them and try to chase them away. I’m still very young though, so all I need is a home that can help me learn that dogs can be friendly and fun! Aside from my fear of other dogs I’ve shown no other behavioural repercussions from my past. I’m learning to be by myself during the day, and the sounds of traffic and neighbours bustling around me is ok too. Because of my young age, I’ve still got some learning to do – luckily I’m very clever and I LOVE food, so am learning quickly. I’ve never met those cat creatures, but I do like to chase things that move so I suspect they might not be my best friends.
Scruffer Lovers would like you to take me to obedience class and, if you get me to grade one obedience, Scruffer Lovers will refund you $50 of your adoption fee. They just want the best for me.
I’d so love to meet you, and I know when you do you’ll love me right back! If you think you could be my forever family, please get in touch with Scruffer Lovers.
