Truvy is one of the beautiful pups from our Coat of Many Colours Litter — nine puppies whose names all have a connection to the wonderful Dolly Parton.
Our Truvy takes her name from Truvy Jones, Dolly Parton’s much-loved character in Steel Magnolias.
And she is a gorgeous little character in her own right.
Truvy is a chunky girl with a beautifully placid nature. She is very sweet and affectionate, with a calm, easy way about her, although she is still very much a playful young puppy who enjoys joining in with her littermates.
She is also an exceptionally attractive pup. Truvy has inherited her mum Stella’s beautiful tan colouring, complemented by white socks, a white chest and a lovely dark muzzle that gives her face so much expression.
Her mum, Stella, is a Wolfhound mix, while dad is believed to have been a Dogue de Bordeaux/Mastiff type, so Truvy is likely to grow into a medium to large dog.
Like all young puppies, Truvy will need a family prepared to continue her training, socialisation and introduction to the wider world. With good guidance, plenty of companionship and inclusion in family life, this sweet, steady little girl has all the makings of a wonderful lifelong companion.
We welcome interstate applications and are very happy to help with the practicalities of getting your new puppy home. We can advise on suitable transport options, obtain quotes on your behalf and assist with making the necessary travel arrangements. Interstate adoptions are a regular part of what we do, so distance need not be a barrier to finding the right home.
Truvy is offered for adoption under ARK’s Deferred Desexing Program, with desexing to take place when age appropriate in accordance with her adoption contract. The cost of desexing is included in the adoption fee, subject to terms and conditions.
If you think this beautiful, sweet-natured girl might belong in your family, we would love to hear from you.
