Tex or Opie - 8 Week Old Staffy X (Trial)

Tex
I’m Tex and I’m an all-round good guy! You can count on me to play until my heart’s content, nap like a lizard lounging in the sun, and cuddle with my people because they make my heart sing! I love playing with my siblings, chewing on my toys and exploring! I’m definitely a ball of fun but am also very affectionate. I love everyone I meet and will be suited to most family dynamics as I’m so young and adaptable.
I will grow to be a medium sized dog with a fair bit of energy so will need my family to be committed to daily exercise as I grow and lots of mental stimulation as I am very smart!
Socialisation and training is a must for me to grow up to be a confident, polite, social and happy dog.
I will need my new family to have a friendly dog companion or someone that is home most of the time as I need lots of love, attention and guidance while I am growing.

Tex Summary:
- playful, strong, caring, fun
- Affectionate and loves exploring
- Needs someone home majority of the week or a friendly adult dog who can show me the ropes
- Needs to be returned to a DRN approved vet for second vaccination and desexing
- Best suited to school aged children
- Puppy Preschool is always recommended for puppies to help them get ready for basic training and socialisation

Opie
I’m Opie and I love life! You can find me playing games with my siblings or having a nap when I’m all tuckered out. I’m playful, relaxed and did I mention I love cuddles!?

To register your interest in adopting Tex, Elton, Reggie or Opie you can fill out the adoption questionnaire here https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt

PLEASE NOTE: When applying for our dogs and puppies, please ensure to list the name of the dog you wish to adopt. Please do NOT just list the reference number or the microchip number as this will delay your application reaching the correct foster carer.

You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au or www.petrescue.com.au

Their adoption fee is $700.00 each 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.

They are in foster care in Charlestown, 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.
