Dasher

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

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR DASHER
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/vDN1xSDystuK2wKj8

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

What I need in my new home:
• I am still 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.
• A doggie companion is a MUST to keep me company when my family isn't home or a family that is home all the time. I get lonely and a bit anxious when left alone which may cause me to bark or become destructive.
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me as it appears I've led a very sheltered life and can be a bit nervous/shy in new situations. Since being at the shelter I'm becoming much braver though. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence
• Being young, I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only be a reflection of you & my upbringing
• 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. 
• 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 did go nose to nose with a kitten with no reaction, so a dog savy cat may be okay with a slow introduction.
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent, no gaps or holes.)
• Lots of toys, mental stimulation, love and attention
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must

My best features:
• Wiggle butt
• I know how to sit
• Highly food motivated
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Love to snooze on the couch

Where I need to improve / Training required:
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet 
• I appear scared of thunder & fireworks. I will require a safe space to retreat to during these events as well as comfort and reassurance from my family.
