Minnie

Hi! I'm Minnie and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.  

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR MINNIE
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM 
https://forms.gle/7LcNtki5F3VtAk568

What I need in my new home: 
BREED KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERRED 
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 and not left outside 24/7 with no interaction.
I am a puppy, so I WILL bite, chew things, toilet inside, bark & cry and be destructive. It is up to you to train these behaviours out of me. Please don't apply for me if you are not willing to put in the effort to train me to grow up to be a well behaved and social dog. 
I have never interacted with another dog before coming into the shelter so I can be unsure of how to behave around and with them! I will require a lot of positive socialisations with other dogs so that my behaviour improves and not deteriorates towards them. 
I may be ok with both male and female dogs; I just need to spend some time with them first and learn how to behave around other dogs.
A cat may be ok with a slow introduction. 
Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) 
A family who promises to keep me well-groomed and brush me regularly so I'm always looking and feeling my best 
Lots of love and attention 
I have lots of energy so an active family is a must 
SOCIALISATION is as important as training a puppy. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will ensure I grow into a social and well-adjusted dog.  
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. 
Large breed experience is a MUST; I am going to be big when full grown!! 
Being a young puppy, I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only be a reflection of you & my upbringing  

My best features: 
Highly food motivated 
I love attention and having snuggles with my humans 
Love to snooze on the couch 
I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills 

Where I need to improve / Training required:
I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet 
I love my food so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier. 
I can be a bit bouncy - training should stop this 
I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this 
I may be quiet vocal at times when left alone - a family who has a lot of time for me, allow me indoors and leave me with lots of mental enrichment when home alone is recommended
