Nero

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

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR NERO
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/s7ZrZb8LyWzgo3UJA

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

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 and not left outside 24/7 with no interaction.
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• I like both friendly male and female dogs however I can be full on in play, so another dog with the same energy as me is a must.
• Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
• 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.
• Secure Fencing, my previous owner let me escape and roam, so I need a very secure yard! (6ft Colorbond or equivalent, including no gaps, holes or areas I can squeeze through to escape!)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• 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 am a clever, young and active doggo - I would be great for dog training, trick training, agility etc.

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• Gentle & placid
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I know my basic doggie commands
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Social butterfly
• I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• Exuberant & full of beans
• I love toys especially my ball, playing fetch and tug rope

Where I need to improve / Training required:
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I walk well on lead, unless I want to go in another direction, then I tend to pull harder
• I have never been allowed inside before however I am hoping that my new family will allow me inside to make me feel included & part of the family. This includes never being allowed inside, so I'm not toilet trained.

AN ADOPTION CAN'T BE APPROVED IF YOU HAVE CANNOT COME TO THE SHELTER TO MEET NERO IN PERSON.
