About Penthos - Dingo
Hi, my name is Penthos and I'm looking for a new human best friend. I love being around people, even though I can be shy around men at the beginning. I would like a home where I will get lots of love and attention surrounded by patient humans.
I came to the rescue as a juvenile, after my parents were killed by hunters and my first home were unable to keep me. I have a cheeky and affectionate nature and love to play and cuddle. I am loyal, intelligent and adventurous.
I am very good on a lead and love a good walk, especially when I have time to smell all the fantastic scents of the outside. Because I was born in the wild, I haven't been around very young children and I prefer adults and kids over the age of 12, but I’m a very sweet boy and will be great as a friend for older kids or teens.
I’m a good dingo and love treats, I know how to sit. I'm very food motivated so I’m sure you could teach me new tricks. I would love a family committed to continuing my training with lots of positive reinforcement and treats.
I'm great in the car for short rides but I will benefit from more practice in my new home.
I can’t live with small animals, birds, cats or livestock but I am OK with other large or medium dogs if you take some time to introduce me to them.
FENCING-
Like all dingoes Penthos is a fantastic climber and digger, and will require one of the following: 2.2m colourbond fencing OR a dog enclosure OR a secure 1.8 meter fence with top angling or flat-top extensions (http://www.dog-blog-world.com/dog-fence/),
Sydney Dingo Rescue are able to provide advice on dingo proofing for your existing yard and most yards can be modified cheaply and easily.
Please note SFDR do not rehome dingoes to homes without a dog enclosure or modified fence like the one described above.
PERMITS- no permit is required to own a dingo or dingo hybrid in NSW at the present time.
Adoption details
Please note at this time pending legal advice we are unable to offer fox kit adoption to private owners.
Dingo Adoption:
1. Send an email inquiry with your name and contact details outlining your current living situation, pets and family members and anything else you think might be relevant, particularly what your house and yard are like. Remember our dingoes typically require an enclosure or modified fencing.
2. We will email you back adoption information and an application form to fill out and return to us.
3. If your application is approved- Come along to meet us and our dingoes at our Goulburn shelter or their foster carers' home and let us find the right furry family member for you. We can also come to you. We are happy to meet new prospective owners anywhere in NSW or the ACT.
4. Before you can pick up your new dingo you will also need to under a house/yard check and pay your adoption fee. No animals are rehomed unless their adoption fee is paid in full and a yard check has been completed.
