Sassi - 4 Month Old Staffy X

My name may be Sassi but I’m far from it! I love to relax in the sun and I’m learning to play fetch with my ball and toys. My big foster sister is helping me learn how to be a puppy and I love to play with her and my brother.

Cuddles and scratches are my favourite things ever and I will give you lots of love and affection. I’m learning to sit and stay and I patiently wait to be invited inside. I would love to go to my forever home where I would have a friend to play with all the time.

Sassi loves people and always wants to be around them, she will watch you leave and eagerly await your return. She is clever and is learning to sit and has good recall for such a young pup. Sassi is a very healthy little puppy who has been raised in a home environment. She sleeps in a pen with her brother. She has been very well socialised with other puppies and adult dogs (small and large) and gets along well with them all. She has met lots of people and is friendly and affectionate with them.

Sassi will grow up to be a large 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 be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Sassi as she loves playing with her older foster sister and brother. If you don't have another dog to keep her company, then there needs to be someone in the household that doesn't work full time. Sassi needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. She will be wonderful family dog and is suitable for children that are 5+ years.

You need good fencing with no small gaps.

Sassi’s brother Buckles is also available for adoption.

Sassi’s adoption fee is $700.00 which includes their desexing when they are old enough. It also includes their first two vaccinations. They have been treated for fleas and worms, and are microchipped.

Sassi is in foster care in Raymond Terrace, NSW area. Since they are not yet desexed, the are only available for adoption in the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. They will need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when they are 5 to 6 months old.

PLEASE NOTE: Dog Rescue Newcastle provides individual listings with specific requirements for each foster dog. If you submit an application or inquiry and DO NOT receive a response within 5 business days, please understand that you have not met the specific requirements for this dog. Please do not be disheartened or discouraged, this simply means you were not a suitable match at this time.

This organisation's adoption policy is moderate. What does this mean?
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire: https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
(2) If the questionnaire is approved we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(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.
