Vixen

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

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR VIXEN
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/dvEMWyApiWkDJCEV9

NOTE: You are unable to meet Vixen 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 Vixen 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.
• 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.
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• 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 (6ft Colorbond or equivalent, no gaps or holes.)
• 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 can be shy at first, so I need a family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time
• Being an active breed, I have a lot of energy so an active family is a must!
• 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.
• 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 a young puppy, I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only be a reflection of you & my upbringing

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Gentle & placid
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Social butterfly
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• I LOVE the water and will splash about in my water bowl, play with the hose and swim in the basin/river

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