Meet Sage. Sage is a handsome Kelpie x looking for a family who will lavish him with cuddles, fun and adventures! He loves being close to his people and will make a great addition to a caring and active home. He will play with the kids, cuddle on the lounge with you, and make memories as he grows up into a loyal best friend to his new humans.

Sage is looking forward to joining a household with someone home most of the time as he settles into his new life, and who can provide him the following:

• Basic obedience (and lots of practice!). Puppy training is very important. Having an untrained puppy can lead to problems as pup grows up into a larger dog. Early training will result in a happy, obedient dog who understands routine and boundaries... and it's fun too!

• Daily exercise (once fully vaccinated) - exercise is vital for pups, helping both physical and mental stimulation. It encourages routine and good behaviour, and helps pup use up their abundant energy, so that they relax at home.

• Socialisation - this is providing pup with positive opportunities to meet new dogs, people, other animals and situations (not just your own dog and family), helping pup to be friendly and polite when out and about (puppy classes as well as walks are great for this!)

This adorable little boy is to die for. If you'd love to welcome Basil into your family please follow the instructions above to apply.

NOTES - 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 pup before applying. If you already have a dog, we will require proof of current vaccination.
