About Suzie
Introducing Suzie!
Suzie is an American Staffy x born 26th August 2020.
Gorgeous Suzie was originally brought into the facility as a stray, however the microchip details were out of date. When we found her owners we discovered that she was living her life chained to a verandah with only a pot of plain rice to eat. This explained why she was so skinny when she arrived.
Since being at the facility Suzie has won the hearts of all our staff & volunteers. She's super affectionate, gentle, (mostly) walks well on lead and doesn't seem to mind having her gorgeous face attacked with kisses & gentle squeezes. Our girl doesn't seem to be an overly active Staffy, in fact when we take her up to our enclosed exercise yard to stretch her legs, she just mosies around, has a sniff, goes to the toilet & is happy to head back to her kennel.
Suzie has met a few children & she was quite gentle with them.
Even though our gorgeous girl has clearly been bred several times, she did not test well with other dogs (even puppies) at the facility. While she mostly ignores other dogs when walking past their kennels, depending on the other dogs reaction to her, she can be reactive with them. Given this, Suzie will need to be the only dog at home.
As she is a big girl (36.5kg), Suzie will need an owner who is dedicated to her training & overall well-being. She will thrive with consistency, encouragement & lots of love.
Suzie has shown signs of prey drive towards small animals, so she will need a home with no cats or pocket pets.
Suzie has shown no signs of food aggression or separation anxiety since being at the facility.
Suzie would love to be included as a member of the family, who is dedicated to ensuring she experiences more than just living on chain & breeding.
If you think you could be that furever family for Suzie, please contact our friendly staff via email at ccacfpetadoptions@gmail.com or 0499 900272 to organise a meet and greet.
Suzie’s adoption fee is $500, and this includes her desexing, vaccination and lifetime registration. Suzie is also regularly treated for fleas and worms.
Suzie is currently located in East Maitland.

Adoption details
If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, please contact us on 0499 900 272.
Staff will ask more about your lifestyle and the information you provide will helps us to achieve the best match between the dog or cat and their new home. We will also have certain adoption requirements that have to be approved prior to meeting the animal (eg fencing requirements, no young kids, etc)
Once all of your questions have been answered and adoption requirements met and approved, its time to meet your potential new furbaby. This meet will be conducted at the shelter in the Hunter Valley.
Should you have an existing dog in your life, we will require a meet and greet to ensure that they get along.
The final step (pending agreement by both parties) is the payment of the adoption fee and filling in of associated paperwork for your new furbaby.
Congratulations, you have now saved a life!
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
