Toby - 6 Month Old Kelpie (Trial)

Meet Toby, your new best friend!

This gorgeous boy wound up in a rural pound due to no fault of his own. Toby is very endearing with a tail that wags non stop, winning over everyone he meets. He has typical kelpie personality traits and is incredibly affectionate and cuddly. He would love nothing more than to find a home that will allow him inside and be a part of the family.

His favourite pastime is to sit by your side or at your feet chewing a toy, followed closely by accompanying you around the house as you go about your day.

This boy LOVES his people and absolutely adores other dogs. Currently he is the only dog in the home, but he would be well suited to a family with other canine companions.

He is toilet trained, likes to sleep inside, is great in the car and knows basic obedience including sit, down and outside. Given his young age he will benefit from ongoing training and socialisation.

Toby loves going for walks and is great on a lead. He regularly looks up at you to check in for reassurance and although he can get bouncy and excited when meeting other dogs, he is still easy to manage.

We’ve noticed he loves to chat back sometimes, and he can be vocal when initially left outside by himself for the day, but he eventually settles in and keeps himself busy with enrichment toys. This is something we believe he will overcome once established in a new home and routine.

Toby is an adoring bundle of love and is sure to bring joy into any active home. He is looking for his forever family to bond with and put his past behind him. In Toby you will have a loyal and loving mate for life.

Toby adoption fee is $600.00 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.

Toby is in foster care in Forster, NSW area.

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.

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.
