About Pompei
Please email us if you’d like an adoption application info@sfdr.org
Hi my name is Pompei I'm a confident cuddly pup looking for a place to call home.
I like to take the lead and go for adventures when I'm playing with other dogs and dingoes- I’m the first of my siblings to try new things. I love a cuddle when I'm done playing and ear scratches are my favourite thing! Are you my fur-ever family?
Looking for a cuddly companion with abounding energy, intelligence and a loyal nature? Look no further than pawsome pup Pompei!
Pompei is good with people, and loves to run and play. He will be 18-20kg when fully grown, he would love a home with a doggy or dingo friend of a similar size or bigger to play with (no dogs under 10kg).
He is a very energetic pup and can be boisterous and rough when he plays. For this reason, he needs a home without kids or with kids over 5 only. He loves tug toys, squeaky toys and treat balls. Because of his breeds (dingo and kelpie) an energetic home with lots of mental stimulation and enrichment (toys and puzzles!) is a must.
Pompei is learning toilet training, he sleeps indoors at his foster home. He walks well on lead and is good in the car, but will need more practice with his new family. Pompei also knows how to sit. He is very intelligent, food motivated and eager to learn- he would love to go to puppy school with his new family!
Being a dingo mix Pompei is not suitable to let off leash except in a securely fenced area and he is unlikely to ever learn 100% reliable recall (come when called) off the leash. Why not try a long lead or a fenced park instead?
Pompei is not suitable to live with cats, pocket pets, birds or live stock due to prey drive.
Fencing requirements:
Pompei is a kelpie dingo mix. He needs secure 1.8m fencing in his new home. Ideally this fencing will be made of palings, bricks or Colourbond so it is not climbable. Pompei needs a home with a backyard and is not suitable for an apartment.
Distance is not an issue when we are looking for the perfect homes for our dingoes. Pompei can be rehomed in VIC, ACT, or NSW. We are happy to travel to you for adoption meet-and-greets. Pompei is currently fostered in VIC.

Adoption details
Dingo Adoption:
It takes a very special owner to provide a home for a dingo and adopting saves two lives, the one you adopt and the next dingo we can save now we have a free spot at our shelter.
We rehome a few types of dingo, what we typically call “low content” and “high content” dingoes. We have both pups and adults looking for homes and their profiles can be viewed here: https://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10730/
Adoption fees range from $200 to $400 and cover desexing, vaccinations and microchipping.
A yard check is required for all adoptions and we also have a two week trial period to ensure every adoption is a good fit.
