Puppy classes/training
Meet Bug,
Bug is a friendly pup who would be suitable for most homes. Bug is easy-going & loves to play & interact with ACF staff.
He is affectionate and doesn't mind being picked up, carried, and cuddled so he would be suitable for families with children. He would make a great mate for kids and is open to meet children of any age!
Bug would love a yard, with high secure fencing, so that he can play in it safely.
He dreams of a home with toys - lots of toys! As well as daily exercise/walks to keep his body physically fit & his mind mentally fit. Treat/food puzzles are a great way to keep active puppy minds engaged, too!
Bug is starting to explore the world around him & is growing in confidence each & every day. However it would be a wise move to invest in a crate & start crate training as it is not only a highly valuable tool to have but a great skill for any dog to learn and know.
Just like all puppies, he should be enrolled into puppy training as soon as he is adopted. These classes & training will set Bug up for life and will allow him to learn social skills & etiquette, as well as define his manners. Classes & training will also teach Bug how to appropriately interact with other dogs as well as other animals & humans. He may only be young, but he is ready to learn! Bug is learning how to 'sit' & is keen to learn more.
These training classes will also assist Bug's new owner as they can both learn new skills together.
If you've got other animals at home, that's okay, just make sure that they have a slow & controlled introduction. Bug has met some dogs at the ACF, he is open to meet & make friends but he will need a patient dog friend as he is just a puppy and needs to learn his manners & how to play respectfully. Bug really wants to interact, at first he is a little nervous but after a few minutes he relaxes & you get to see his playful side.
Can you open your heart and home to a friendly, playful puppy like Bug?

With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as flawless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories. Most left in the shelter by their owners. The information we receive is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks will surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
So please keep in touch with us after adoption so that we can help you settle your new family member in and address any unexpected behaviours.
The adoption fee for dogs covers C3 vaccination, health check, heartworm testing, desexing, micro-chipping, and registration.
