Lottie

Lottie is an adorable girl. She is the first to come and greet her carers as she loves attention! She's the only pup in her litter to go exploring - her brothers are still sleeping! She is quite the curious, smart little one. Lottie will likely be a good medium-large sized dog when fully grown as her breed mix includes Catahoula (Mum) and potentially some Labrador x larger breed dog (Dad). She has lots of puppy energy and loves to play with people and toys. She has a gentle nature and gets on well with the large dog in her foster home. It will be super important for Lottie to be socialised with other dogs once fully vaccinated, so that she grows up into a social, friendly adult who is relaxed meeting new dogs. Puppy classes are ideal for this (there are classes for pups who have not yet completed all vaccinations too, generally in vet clinics).

Lottie is fostered in a family home who have commenced training to sit, come etc. She is not yet toilet trained.

Before applying for a pup, please remember that adopting a puppy into your home is a big commitment. As they grow, puppies require daily exercise, positive and varied socialisation outside the home (to help them become comfortable and manageable around new people, dogs, animals and situations), training, grooming and playtime. When applying, please ensure all residents in your home are on board, and 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 input into playtime/training especially in those first six months after adoption.

Please also check with your landlord if renting as we may ask for proof of permission to keep a dog.

If you can offer Lottie a loving, stable and active home, please complete our SAFE Bunbury application form as follows:
