Brooklyn

🩷 Senior Brooklyn 🩷

HOUSEHOLD- Meet beautiful Brooklyn! This sweet, older lady has been calm here in the shelter patiently waiting for her daily walks and cuddles. She could suit a variety of different households and lifestyles but would best suit a more mature household where she can just relax and enjoy her twilight years. She will need 6ft secure fencing due to previous escape attempts and while she is yet to meet children properly she has shown us no concerning behaviour towards them in passing.

ON-GOING TRAINING- Brooklyn can sit and is aware of her name but appears to know little else. She engages well for a food treat but can also be very independent and stubborn if she is not in the mood. She understands the basics and will need gentle consistency to continue to improve.

PLAY/TOYS- Brooklyn has shown no huge interest in toys at the facility but does seem to enjoy soft toys more than hard rubber ones or rope toys. She would much rather interact with a handler or go exploring following her nose as she goes.

OTHER DOGS- Brooklyn has shown herself to be dog social after meeting a number of fellow canines in the facility. She approaches with confidence, sniffs and is then quite happy to move on without a care in the world. She would be suitable to live by herself or with a canine companion after a meet and greet to confirm they get along well. While she has shown herself to be dog social at the facility we unfortunately cannot test for group dog settings such as a visit to the dog parks, beaches etc. If you were hoping to visit these places we would recommend postponing your trip till around 3mths post adoption until she has had time to settle in, feel comfortable with her recall commands and bond with her new family.

CATS/OTHER ANIMALS- Brooklyn has shown a keen fascination from a distance with the cats in the facility but when she enters the room she becomes unsure and takes herself straight back out. She has shown us no aggression or concerning behaviours and may be suitable to live with feline friends as long as everyone has their own space for time alone and is supervised for initial settling in.

CARE/NUTRITION- Brooklyn has a lovely short coat that will require weekly brushing, monthly bathing and monthly nail clipping to keep it in tip-top shape. She is a senior dog and will require a senior diet to help support her body into old age. She is currently being fed two meals daily with a joint support supplement and has shown no signs of food sensitivities or fussiness.

ON LEAD/EXERCISE- Brooklyn can be strong on lead when pulling towards something she really wants but this does not usual last long because she would rather stand and wait than battle pulling. She loves exploring, sniffing and being out and about so gentle walks daily would be great.

Brooklyn is located at our Erina Shelter. Her $350 adoption fee covers microchipping desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments 🐾

We would love to find Brooklyn a loving forever home, where she will be cherished for the rest of her life. If you are interested in meeting her, please lodge your adoption interest online.
