Flow

Hi! I'm Flow and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR FLOW
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/N64NxaAZdzjxoiRBA

NOTE: You are unable to meet Flow until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Flow in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.
Size: Large (when fully grown)
Weight: 13kg (still growing)

What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• I am a puppy, so I WILL bite, chew things, toilet inside, bark & cry and be destructive. It is up to you to train these behaviours out of me. Please don't apply for me if you are not willing to put in the effort to train me to grow up to be a well behaved and social dog.
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) – I can climb chain link fences
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• Doggy daycare and group socialisation classes would be highly beneficial for me.
• I appeared scared of cats when meeting them at the shelter however once my confidence around them grows I might be more inquisitive. If going to a home with a cat they must be dog savvy and we must be introduced slowly.
• SOCIALISATION is as important as training a puppy. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will ensure I grow into a social and well adjusted dog.
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
• Being a young puppy I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only be a reflection of you & my upbringing


Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Small children due to my obsession with food – I would hate to accidentally hurt them while I am trying to steal their food or they try to take mine

My best features:
• Very playful
• Snuggle buddy
• Highly food motivated
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Exuberant & full of beans

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I need training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
• As I have not been allowed inside before I am not housetrained
• I gobble up my food very quickly – a slow feeder bowl is a must until I learn to slow down
