About Aerosmith
Well hi there! My name is Aerosmith, but you can call me Ralf. Aren't I just the handsomest of boys?
I am an 8-year-old Border Collie x Mastiff (I think?) But you wouldn't know it by my personality. Sure my body may be getting older, but I still love to play in the backyard with a soccer ball or football or any ball!
I was found roaming the streets in rural NSW and although I was microchipped, the contact details were disconnected, and I was never claimed.
I adore playing with my Rottweiler sister Kyla and I am awesome with kids (but don't like people touching my bottom...it's very private!)
I have had one seizure in care and am on anticonvulsants which have me perfectly controlled (around $61.71 a bottle for Phenobarbitone 100mg). I also had a wart removed from my lower eyelid.
I also require an injection once a month for arthritis in my back legs (the monthly Beransa injection costs around $103.96). Along with rosehip powder given to me daily and a weight loss diet, I feel like a new man!
Regular blood tests every 6 or 12 months cost around $153. But, thanks to these treatments, I am now running around, jumping up stairs, and playing like I'm 5 years old, not 8! I'd be awesome for a family who wants a dog to play in the backyard with, take on leisurely walks, and just hang out.
The cats are a bit fun to chase, so I would prefer a home without cats, but I'd be happy with or without another dog.
I will be required to stay on these medications for the rest of my life. So please take that into consideration when applying for me.
Medical notes
I do have some arthritis in my back legs and require an injection once a month.
Since being in my foster home I have had 1 seizure but nothing since then and I am on medication for that.
