About Doopy
WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY FURTHER INQUIRIES FOR DOOPY.
We will reply to all those who have enquired and thank you for your interest.
Doopy is a gentle, quiet, polite, and cuddly hunk of dog.
He came into foster care as a young pup in a very remote part of the NT with the "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" to receive TLC.
Doopy went to a new home with a little dog who thought he was in charge and would guard the home. Doopy looked the bouncer but was no guard dog.
Due to no fault of Doopy or his friend they were returned to the Dog after a couple of years.
So Doopy has now come to Sydney to find his forever home. This is a completely new environment for Doopy.
He needs time and patience to adjust including walking on the lead and that getting in the car leads to fun.
He is very happy to lye around near his human and takes the opportunity to come for a cuddle.
Doopy is good with other dogs, big or small. We have no idea what he is like with cats or other pets.
He has never been alone so will need time to adjust to time alone.
Being so placid he may suit a family with children with the right supervision.
Doopy is approx 3yrs old, on the larger end of medium, approx 30kg and we have no idea of his breed.
Doopy flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford near UNSW.
Doopy is desexed, vaccinated and parasite treated.
Adoption details
WE CAN ONLY RESPOND TO ENQUIRES WITH BRIEF TO THE POINT ANSWERS TO ALL THE QUESTIONS BELOW.
Have you had a dog before is so, when, size, and age? (not if you have looked after someone else's dog)
Have both the applicant and their partner, extended family, housemates, parents discussed having a dog, and are they "on the same page"?
Most dogs, puppies, and young cannot be left alone for long hrs e.g more than 4hrs at a time. How will you deal with this issue?
If you want a puppy have you seriously considered the work involved i.e. toilet training, chewing, mouthing - those sharp teeth - jumping up, going to puppy classes?
Have you considered coping with all these issues when you have children (how old are your children?)?
A dog is not just for the children. The parents/caregivers must want the puppy and realise the constant supervision and boundaries needed.
Have you considered that a dog or a puppy cannot immediately be taken to a dog park or cafe and need to slowly understand all the new sights, sounds, people, dogs etc of their new environment?
Are you prepared to seek additional one on one training for you and your dog, if necessary?
Have you considered where the dog will sleep at night?
Have you considered any veterinary costs?
Have you considered how to cope with behavior issues should they arise?
If you rent have you obtained written approval for a dog?
If you own an apartment have you obtained written approval from the body corporate?
Have you puppy-proofed your home and bought all the things you feel you will need?
Have you considered that we never know the breed or eventual size of a puppy?
If you are offered a meet and greet and it is felt by all that the dog or pup is a good fit for your family, we expect you to be ready to take the dog home/adopt at the time.
We cannot hold dogs as space in foster care is needed for other dogs.
Thank you
