Meet Phantom a beautiful 6.5-year-old Border Collie cross with a huge heart and one of the gentlest souls you could ever hope to meet.
Phantom is the kind of dog who simply loves being with his people. He doesn’t ask for much, he just wants to be included in your life and know that he belongs.
He loves going for rides in the car and is happiest when he’s by your side. He loves his morning cuddles and belly rubs, snuggling with you on the couch or simply snoozing peacefully on his bed near you while you relax.
Phantom greets everyone and dog savvy cats with a wagging tail and a big happy smile and one of the highlights of his day is mealtime, bring out the bowl and you’ll be treated to Phantom’s own little happy dance.
At six years old, Phantom is at such a lovely stage of life. He still enjoys his games, playing with his favourite toys, going for walks and adventures but he’s equally happy equally happy just spending quiet time with the people he loves.
Phantom would suit many types of loving homes. He would be a wonderful companion for a couple to someone living on their own who would love having a loyal mate by their side to a family with children around 10 years and older.
Recently, Phantom needed to have his right eye removed after experiencing problems associated with sun exposure. He’s adapted beautifully and doesn’t require any special treatment because of it.
His new family simply needs to understand that he can’t see someone approaching from his right side, so if Phantom is sleeping, resting or isn’t expecting someone it’s important to let him know you’re there before reaching out to touch him. It’s really just about understanding his world and giving him that little bit of consideration.
Phantom has already been through a big change in his life and he’s just looking for a person, a couple or family that want him as part of their life.
Now we’d love his next change to be his last, from foster home to forever home.
HEALTH WAIVER:
Phantom has had his eye and the tissue surrounding his eyelid due to unrepairable sun damage. He does not require any special care but it’s important that he does not spend an excessive amount of time directly in the sun due to his white pigmented skin.

~ 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.
