About Red
Hi, my name is Red! I’m a 5-year-old Kelpie girl with a gentle nature and a calm, affectionate personality. I’m sweet, relaxed, and I absolutely adore people — especially if head scratches are involved.
Red is a lovely, easy-going companion who enjoys being close to her humans. She’s good with kids, friendly with other dogs, and has beautiful manners both at home and out on walks. On lead, she’s a dream — walking calmly at a relaxed pace, though she does have the occasional burst of playful zoomies that are guaranteed to make you smile.
Red is crate trained and house trained, and settles well into a quiet routine. She gets along very well with other dogs and would happily live with a friendly canine companion. She also takes daily medication for a well-managed condition, which doesn’t stop her from enjoying her day-to-day life.
Red’s ideal home is a quiet one — she’s not suited to busy city living. She would love a home where someone is around often, or where she can have the companionship of another dog. She’s low-maintenance, affectionate, and happiest when life is calm and predictable.
If you’re looking for a gentle, people-loving Kelpie who will fit easily into your life, Red might be the girl for you.
Red is located in VIC and is available for adoption in VIC or NSW only.
Medical notes
Red has been diagnosed with epilepsy, which is managed well with medication, and doesn’t stop her enjoying day-to-day life. It appears to have been triggered by hormone fluctuations (after having pups with her old owner, and her in-season spey after coming into care with us). Her seizures have been managed with medication which has stabilised and her bloods have been rechecked and clear. She will need to remain on phenobarbitone and keppra for a further 6 months, to then reassess her demeanour and stability on meds, and re-check her bloods. It should be noted that Red can and will most likely continue to have seizures throughout her life, but the medication will keep them as infrequent and mild as possible.
Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at http://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-form/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. We offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
