About Turbo
FINAL REDUCED PRICE: $400 (was much more, but Turbo says your love is worth more than money... and he's really good at guilt-tripping).
TURBO – The Nighttime Toilet Alarm Clock You Didn't Know You Needed ⏰🐾
Born: Sometime before February 10th (he's been in care since then, and yes, he's counting).
Gender: Male (neutered, so no unexpected surprises).
Breed: Kelpie Cross (so, part dog, part velcro, part tiny horse).
Status: Desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, parasite-treated, and 100% house-trained. (Yes, he wakes his carer up at night to go out. He's considerate, okay? Most humans just wet the bed.)
The Quirky Pitch:
Turbo is the final gem of his litter—the last one standing, like a puppy-sized Everest. He's gentle, kind, adventurous, and has a smile that will terrify and delight you simultaneously. When he's happy, he shows you his little teefies 😬—it's not a snarl, it's his "hehehe" face. He's basically a cartoon character trapped in a dog's body.
Why Turbo is your future obsession:
· Social Butterfly: Loves people. Wary when meeting new dogs but warms up. Probably loves squirrels from a respectful distance.
· Playful Spirit: Toys? Yes. Attention? Yes. Your undivided adoration? Yes please.
· Adaptable: Couch potato mode or adventure explorer mode. He's the Swiss Army Knife of dogs.
The Fine Print (but cute):
Turbo is a shy guy who gains confidence daily. Once comfortable? He becomes your favourite little shadow—he will follow you to the toilet (payback for the night wakings). He's a follower, not a leader, so he needs you to be his teacher and protector. But don't worry—he has a big bark to make you feel protected too. (It's mostly for show, but the neighbours don't know that.)
Smart Boy Alert:
He knows sit, wait for dinner, shake, and lay down. He learns fast—probably faster than you learned your times tables.
The Bed Invitation:
"Got room for a big cuddle bug to join your bed? I mean family." – Turbo, probably.

Adoption details
All dogs are vet checked, desexed, microchipped, C3 vaccinated, wormed, heartworm and flea/tick treated.
ADFC house our dogs with volunteer foster carers in private homes.
They are given basic training and experience life in family situations with dogs, cats, children and various other domestic animals.
We then have an opportunity to discover their traits and personalities, likes and dislikes, and which dog may suit your family dynamics.
We offer a 14 day trial - $50 deposit. If the dog doesn't fit with your family, they are returned to us and deposit refunded.
To arrange a meet and greet with one of our dogs please send us a message.
The committee and carers of ADFC are all volunteers, so please be patient if we don't answer your enquiry straight away.
