Star

PLEASE NOTE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO FLY OUR ANIMALS EITHER WITHIN WA OR INTERSTATE

**Before applying, please remember that adopting a puppy into your home is a huge commitment, and very demanding of your time. Puppies require daily exercise, positive and varied socialisation, grooming, training and playtime. When applying, please consider your work hours, holidays, and how busy your personal life is. Puppies will need someone who is home for most of the day with regular focused input, especially in those first six months after adoption **

NAME: Star

BEFORE SAFE ESPERANCE: Came to SAFE Esperance from the pound with her brother and sister.

BREED: Mixed breed
********************************************************************************
ASSETS: Star is a little quieter than her siblings but is laidback, playful, happy, and very sweet!

FAVOURITE THINGS: Star is a typical puppy with bursts of energy where she loves to rough and tumble with her siblings and play with her toys. She will play for a while then settle down with her siblings for a snooze before waking up and doing it all over again!

ENDEARING FEATURES: She’s great with everyone she meets and Star and her siblings are all very affectionate. They love to cuddle and snuggle under the chin.

OTHER ANIMALS: Being a young puppy, she will get on well with other friendly dogs after gentle, supervised introduction and would go well in a home with either another youngish dog to play with, or a home where she gets to meet other dogs regularly. She could live with a dog-savvy, confident cat, again after gentle introduction. The pups are being fostered on a small holding and are used to seeing goats and cows in the paddock and they help mum put the chooks away at night - although mum isn't always convinced they are helping!

GENERAL INFO: Star will need training for pretty much everything as she’s so young at present. She isn’t housetrained yet so will definitely need help in this area too. Expect accidents while she’s settling into her new home and routine! She’ll benefit greatly from puppy school and ongoing classes into adulthood where she can mix with other dogs, and this is a commitment we will expect from her new owner. We expect Star to be small to medium sized when fully grown but there are no guarantees.

ESSENTIALS for Star:

** a loving home where someone is there for most of the day especially in the first six months after adoption
** a home where she is treated as part of the family and is allowed to be inside or out as she needs and to sleep inside at night
** a decent sized garden where she can run, play, sniff and explore
** attendance at puppy school and continued training into adulthood for her to learn and grow confidence
** continued positive, gentle exposure and socialisation
** Star will have bursts of energy while a pup and will be medium energy as an adult dog.

Star could live with dog-savvy gentle children over 6 years of age who will play and interact with her gently but know when to give her space.

If Star sounds like the perfect fit for your family, please send an enquiry and we’ll be in touch soon.
