About Spike - 8 Month Old Staffy X Kelpie
Meet Spike the Staffy Kelpie cross, an 8-month-old heart-stealer! This dashing fellow has a contagious personality, making everyone he meets feel like a long-lost friend.
Spike adores other dogs and people alike, spreading joy and playfulness wherever he goes. Inside the home, he's content to curl up by your feet, offering quiet companionship. But don't let his indoor tranquillity fool you – outdoors, Spike transforms into an adventurer, his tail wagging with excitement at the prospect of walks and exploration.
He is wonderful with all humans, big and small, young and old. He loves all dogs that he meets and adjusts his playing style based on the size of the other dog, intuitively being gentler when playing with smaller dogs. Spike loves doing zoomies and will keep up with the most energetic of doggie playmates. He hasn’t been tested with cats and smaller pets.
Spike is fine with being left alone for a portion of the day and will quietly chew on his chew toys while you’re away.
He is fully housetrained and sleeps indoors. He knows basic commands like sit, stay and come and he is a fast learner. Being food motivated, further training of Spike will be easy. He loves going for walks and is a very good boy on the lead. He has excellent recall, and when let off the lead will return immediately he’s called.
Spike loves playing tug of war with his rope and chewing on his chew toys. He also enjoys playing fetch.
If you're looking for a loyal friend who's playful, loving, and a joy to be around, Spike is your perfect match. His ideal home would be one with another dog, and filled with affection, playtime, and plenty of opportunities for leisurely strolls and active play.
Spike is ready to embark on his next great adventure – could it be with you?
Spike’s adoption fee is $600. He is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and microchipped. He is in foster care in Fern Bay, NSW and is available for interstate adoption.

Adoption details
(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.
