Meet Virgo. This adorable girl is a sweet, playful and loving girl. She is a really good girl on lead, loves other dogs (is very playful with them) and is gentle with kids, so she would be a great addition to a family home. When meeting new people she tends to go belly up for tummy rubs! Virgo is almost toilet trained - she will give a little whine to let you know when she needs to go outside.

Virgo just adores water; she has a paddle pool and also loves visits to the beach, so if you are a water loving household this girl will make the most wonderful beach buddy. Virgo has good recall and will retrieve the ball for you.

She is a Bull Arab mix, meaning she will likely be a largish dog when fully grown.

Virgo will suit a loving home with someone around most of the time while she settles in, and will develop into a wonderful family member if her new owners can provide her with routine, boundaries, daily exercise and playtime, basic obedience and lots of practice, and ongoing socialisation: taking her out to new places, where she will meet new people, new dogs and experience a range of situations, helping her to grow into a well mannered, confident adult dog.

If you'd love to welcome wonderful Virgo to your home, please follow the instructions above to apply.

MEDICAL NOTES

ADOPTION DETAILS
Adoption Fee: $495

Our adoption process includes a meet-and-greet with you (and any dog already in your household); a property check and a 2 week trial period to ensure your pup is the right fit for your home.

NOTE - if renting, we may request proof of permission to keep a dog at your property. Please ensure everyone in your household is on board with adopting a dog before applying.

Adoption fee must be deposited electronically into our SAFE Bunbury bank account in full before adoption trial starts. SAFE Bunbury will arrange transfer of ownership on your pet's microchip once the trial period is completed.
