About Boss ~ 3yr Old Staffy X ~ Pending Adoption 13/9/20
Meet Boss - our gorgeous and unique 3 year old one-eyed mixed breed boy. There are some faces that just epitomise second chances and well, this is one of them.
Gorgeous Boss was going to be euthanised because one of his owners just didn't want him anymore. We can't figure out why. Boss is a happy and soft-natured dog who has been great with the other dogs in foster care and adores being with people. He happily introduces himself to new people and will take pats and cuddles all day long.
Boss to our best guess, is a Staffy cross. He is super lean, maybe due to stress and he has been gaining weight since being in foster care. This lovely boy lost his right eye as a puppy during a tiff with his mum. Only having one eye doesn’t slow him down at all - in fact you can barely tell. This boy gallops around the yard at speed !
This lovely boy with his big doe-eye gaze is a bit of a goofball who is always the first one up to greet you. He is very jumpy (but in a soft way) so he needs to learn to keep all 4 paws on the floor. He really just needs some basic obedience training to get his manners right - but with consistency and treats that will come.
Boss would love another doggy buddy (preferably a medium-sized female) to play with - he loves to play rough and tumble bitey-face games with his foster sister Lola. He may also suit being an only dog as long as his family gives him lots of attention and keeps up his socialisation.
Boss is an energetic boy who would love someone to take him on adventures, long walks, beach runs and just be his best mate. We are after a home where any children are older than say 12 years as he will knock over littlies and his training needs to be his new family’s focus. He will of course need secure fencing and a good sized yard for a run and lazy naps in the sun.
People who love Staffy's love their unwavering loyalty, they truly are the love bug breed. Our Boss deserves a new home who will love and reciprocate that bond and restore his faith in humans.
Boss is currently in care in Medowie (North of Newcastle NSW), if you think you could be a good match for him please contact Jo on rescuepooch75@gmail.com .You can also fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
Boss's adoption fee is $350. This includes desexing, vaccinations and microchipping. He is up to date with all flea and worm treatments. You can see all of our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
Medical notes
Boss is still very lean so he’ll need two meals a day packed with nutrition and maybe even some extra carbs to keep him on a good weight. He does virtually inhale his treats at times so will cough them up - he needs to learn to pace himself !

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
