Freya

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

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR FREYA
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM

My Ideal Home:
• 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.
• I’d love plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep my busy mind occupied.
• A good-quality dry food diet will help support my dental health.
• Most importantly, I’m looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• When I get excited, I can be a little bouncy and mouthy, so any children in the home would need to feel comfortable and confident around an energetic, enthusiastic dog joining the 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.
• As a young doggo, I’m ready to learn and adapt — how I grow and mature will reflect the love, structure, and guidance you provide
• A calm, gentle dog companion (who's roughly the same size) may suit me, as boisterous bigger dogs can be overwhelming. I’ll benefit from gradual, positive socialisation.
• I can be nervous around some dogs and may react if they’re too full-on or reactive towards me. Controlled, positive socialisation experiences will help me build confidence and learn that other dogs aren’t so scary.
• A home without cats would be best for me, as I’m likely to chase them.

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’ve had some basic obedience training and I’m generally a well-mannered dog. I know my basic commands like sit and stay, and I’m always eager to learn more.
• I walk nicely on lead for a young dog, and with daily walks I’ll only keep improving.
• I appear housetrained and am used to being allowed indoors as part of the family.
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I’m quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I LOVE toys!! Fetch and tug-of-war are some of my favourite games.
• I’m exuberant and full of beans, always ready for fun and adventure.

Training & Support Needs:
• 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 can also be strong or a bit skittish if startled, so a harness or head halter would really help while I continue my training.
• My recall needs work, as I can sometimes ignore you if I’m distracted — this is something we’ll need to practice together.
• I can be a little bouncy when excited, but consistent training will help me learn calmer behaviours.

Please Note: You’ll only be able to meet Freya 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
