Duffy

Hello there! I'm Duffy, and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Duffy 
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/qQ7e2xto6XMkeqfr7 

I am a very unique & one of a kind girl. My breed listed is just a guess.
I am not a small lady weighing in at 28kg!

My Ideal Home:
• Previous experience with long spined/short leg breeds will be beneficial.
• I will require a family who will happily manage my breed related medical conditions as I age & they arise.
• I'll need regular exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy. These will need to be kept short & sweet as I am not built for stamina
• I want to be part of the family indoors - not left outside without interaction.
• Secure fencing to ensure that I am always safe & sound
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• When I get excited I can be bouncy, so any children in the home would need to feel comfortable and confident around an energetic, enthusiastic dog joining the family.
• I am very dog social - I'd love a friendly dog playmate - or, if I'm your only dog, regular opportunities to socialise with other dogs. I LOVE to play with other dogs however they must not be to full on or rough to prevent injuring my looooooong spine & itty bitty wonky legs. Alternatively a home without little dogs may be best too as I am quite exuberant and I would hate to accidently jump on and hurt one.
• With a slow and thoughtful introduction, I may be able to live with a dog friendly cat.
• I was very skinny when I first arrived at the shelter, I am almost back to an optimum weight however my new family will need to keep me at a lean weight to help prevent extra strain on my spine & joints.
• A one of a kind darling lady that deserves to be loved, treated & paraded like royalty <3

My Paw-some Perks:
• I'm a very unique, playful & happy lady
• I'm very social and happy to hang out with other friendly dogs - total social butterfly!
• I will sit when asked
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses, head scratches, ear rubs and I'm quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I'm exuberant and full of beans
• Long noodle of perfection

Training & Support Needs:
• I can be bouncy when excited, this would be best to deter to prevent further strain on my legs & spine.

Please Note: You'll only be able to meet Duffy 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

PLEASE NOTE: Shelter staff make the final decision based on determining if the applicant can meet the animals needs (lifestyle, home environment, experience) Our goal is to ensure a permanent home that sets both the animal and new family up for success.
Shelter staff reserve the right to deny an adoption if they determine the animal's specific needs do not match the applicant's lifestyle.
