Meet Meadow! 🐾
This beautiful little puppy absolutely adores human company and is happiest when she is right by your side. Meadow loves snuggling up on the couch for some quiet time together before bed and thrives on close companionship.
She loves playing with her toys and spending time with her larger foster siblings. In fact, she can happily play with the other dogs for hours before needing an enforced nap!
Meadow is also incredibly clever. She has already learnt to sit on command and is currently working on her "down" command. Being highly food-motivated certainly helps with her training, and she's eager to learn. She's even worked out how to use treat-dispensing toys and can happily entertain herself with chew toys when needed. A good game of tug-of-war is another favourite pastime.
Meadow has been living with other dogs and enjoys their company immensely. She has also previously lived with a cat and showed no issues toward it. Her previous family also reported that she was gentle and good with their 5-year-old child.
Like many young puppies, Meadow is still learning about the world. She can be nervous when meeting new people and may take some time to warm up to them. She is also unsure in unfamiliar environments and can be startled by cars and loud vehicles when out on walks. However, once she feels safe and comfortable, her playful and loving personality shines through. With patience, consistency, and positive experiences, we believe her confidence will continue to grow.
Meadow forms strong bonds with her people and has experienced some separation anxiety in the past. The good news is that she is now crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night without getting upset. She happily goes into her crate when it's mealtime and is becoming more comfortable spending time independently.
Meadow is also learning not to jump up on people when she's excited and continues to improve with guidance and training.
Meadow is a sweet, playful, intelligent, and loving puppy who is looking for a patient home committed to helping her build confidence and continue her training. In return, you'll be rewarded with a loyal companion who loves deeply, learns quickly, and will happily curl up beside you at the end of each day.

* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.

~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
