About Atlas~BC X Wolfhound (On Trial 27/08/20)
Atlas is a lovely Border Collie X Wolfhound puppy who is looking for his forever home. He is a playful, outgoing and cuddly boy.
Atlas is a happy, healthy boy, who loves affection and attention. He will be a wonderful family dog. As he's still a puppy, a family with kids over 12 would be best. He sleeps inside snuggled with the other puppies so will need to be welcome inside in his forever home.
Atlas will grow to be a medium size 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. It would also be good if someone in the household doesn't work full time.
Atlas needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. You will need good fencing 5-6 ft high with no small gaps, unfortunately rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire) is not suitable. Its very important to note that these puppies will grow to be medium-large adults. For this reason, homes with small yards, courtyards and apartments will not be successful.
My siblings and I would like to know if you have a puppy plan for us?
Have you thought about loving and caring for me for the next 12-15 years - maybe even longer ?
Have you thought about my puppy meals throughout the day?
Will somebody be home more often than not?
Have you thought about my ongoing physical training and mental stimulation (enrichment games) so that I don't get bored and destructive?
Will I have access inside (doggy door) to be a part of the family so I can learn to fit in with our life together?
I'm watching and learning from you from the moment I open my eyes. Being inside means that I will learn what leads to praise and what doesn't. Being under supervision also means I learn boundaries. You will form a closer bond with me and I'll also clean up all of your crumbs and snuggle beside you on the lounge. As I grow, I might even kick you off!
It's very important to note that I will grow to be medium-large adults. For this reason, homes with small yards, courtyards and apartments will not be successful.
As I am not yet desexed, I am only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens as I will need to be returned to our vet for desexing when I am approximately 5 months old. Unfortunately this means that we will not allow interstate adoption.
Atlas's siblings: Aztec, Angelo, Aphrodite, Ambrosia and Anastasia are also available for adoption.
For more information or to meet Atlas, please contact Kelly at adoptmefromkelly@hotmail.com and you can also fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
If successful, you will be contacted by one of our amazing carers within 48-72hours to discuss the next steps 🙂 We ask for your patience during this time, and thankyou for taking the time to complete an application.
Atlas's adoption fee is $600 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and he's been treated for fleas and worms. Atlas is in care in Glendale, NSW (Lake Macquarie area).

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:
https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
If there is a phone number listed in the dog's profile then you can also phone for more information.
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption. More details of our Adoption Procedure on our website: https://tinyurl.com/adoptproc
