About Wesley Elphinstone

Seriously, how adorable can a dog be? Wesley is a package deal – cute, outgoing, cheeky and highly intelligent. He is friendly with all he meets and reads other dogs’ energy well. He senses when they need their own space and will move away and find something else to do.
Wesley is learning to walk on lead but has mastered it well and is great to take out for exercise. He gets excited when he sees dogs on his walks. He is curious about cats but so far hasn’t chased them and isn’t showing any aggression. Wesley picked up house training quickly and goes to the toilet every time he is let outside.
If his new family are interested, he would excel at dog sports and herding. He has an innate ability and the training and stimulation will be enriching for his wellbeing. As he is just a puppy at the moment, it is good to be mindful that any exercise and training undertaken isn’t too excessive as his little body and bones are still developing.
Wesley is a great little guy. He will be a wonderful companion for every day and those fun weekend adventures. He loves his humans and all this exciting world has to offer and can’t wait to start his forever life with you!

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
Medical notes
Weight: 5.64 kg
Health: When Wesley is desexed we will also do xrays to check on his gait.
Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
