Johnny

Hello there! I’m Johnny, and I’m officially accepting applications for my forever family.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR JOHNNY 
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM 
https://forms.gle/jpJu9jnYUVS5Gw316

My Ideal Home:
• Familiarity and understanding of my breed traits would be highly valued.
• I’ll need daily exercise — walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• Ongoing training and guidance with basic manners will help me grow into a well-behaved companion.
• I want to be part of the family indoors — not left outside without interaction.
• Secure fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is essential to keep me safe.
• A good-quality dry food diet will help support my dental health.
• Regular grooming and brushing will keep me looking and feeling my best.
• Most importantly, I’m looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• Socialisation is just as important as training. Taking me to new places, introducing me to all sorts of people, dogs, and other animals will help me grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog.
• Training, training, training — it’s essential that I receive consistent guidance in every aspect of my life.
• A calm, gentle dog companion may suit me, as boisterous dogs can be overwhelming. I’ll benefit from gradual, positive socialisation.
• With a slow and thoughtful introduction, I may be able to live with a cat.

My Paw-some Perks:
• I’m a very playful, happy pup with the cutest little wiggle-butt when I’m excited.
• I’m highly food motivated, which makes training lots of fun and helps me learn quickly.
• I’m gentle and placid in nature
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I’m quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.

Training:
• I haven’t had any formal training yet, so I’ll need help with all my basic manners and life skills.
• Once I’m settled, I can walk nicely, but I may pull if something grabs my attention or if I decide I’d like to head in a different direction.
• I’m not housetrained yet, as I haven’t previously been allowed inside, so I’ll need guidance and consistency to learn.
• I can be a little stressed when left alone, I don’t bark but I do drool from stress. Leaving me with enrichment when you have to go out might keep me entertained enough to forget I’m alone.

Please Note: You’ll only be able to meet Johnny if your application is approved. Successful applicants will be invited to the shelter for a meet-and-greet, and any dogs currently in the home must attend as well
