Binky

Hi! I’m Binky and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR BINKY
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/eEeNijiJVN7X4EBY6

NOTE: You are unable to meet Binky 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 Binky in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

Attached are some beautiful videos of Binky's time and her improvement during her time in foster care from her wonderful foster carer.

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
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• A family who promise to keep me well groomed and brush me regularly so I’m always looking and feeling my best
• Lots of love and attention
• Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
• I can be shy at first so I need a family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time
• 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.
• I LOVE water and would love to have my very own clam pool to laze around in.
• 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.

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
• No young children as I can be a bit shy in new situations and with new people and little ones may accidently scare me. Older children who will be involved with my training should be ok

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• Gentle & placid
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Love to snooze on the couch
• I LOVE the water and will splash about in my water bowl, play with the hose and swim in the basin/river
• I love toys especially my ball, playing fetch and tug rope

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• Unsure in new situations – more socialising is needed
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
