Ebonie

Dash has one very important question: where are you going, and why isn't she coming with you?

This adorable little Rottweiler x Kelpie puppy is only eleven weeks old, but she's already developed a serious interest in everyone's daily activities. In fact, her foster carer sometimes struggled to close the front door because Dash was so determined to follow along. Apparently, being left out of an adventure is simply unacceptable!

Dash arrived at our shelter as a stray with no identification, but it didn't take her long to make herself at home in foster care. She settled in straight away, happily exploring her new surroundings, investigating toys and making friends with the resident dog. The two got along beautifully, playing together and even sleeping beside each other. Her foster carer described her as incredibly friendly with both people and dogs, with a gentle, sweet nature that makes her very easy to love.

And while Dash certainly has her enthusiastic puppy moments, she also has a lovely independent side. She's happy to entertain herself with toys, explore her surroundings and enjoy some downtime between adventures. Of course, when something exciting happens, she's right back in the middle of the action! She's curious about everything, and watching her discover the world is half the fun of having her around.

Being such a young puppy, Dash is still learning the important things in life. Her toilet training is coming along nicely, although she's not quite mastered it yet, and her new family will need to continue helping her learn with patience and positive reinforcement. As a Rottweiler x Kelpie, she'll grow into an intelligent, active dog who'll benefit from plenty of training, enrichment, socialisation and appropriate exercise as she gets older.

Dash has already figured out that life is pretty wonderful when you've got people to love, a doggy friend to play with and plenty of interesting things to investigate. Now she just needs a family to grow up with. Fair warning though, you might need to allow a little extra time when leaving the house!

No appointment is needed, so come and visit Dash at our North Melbourne shelter. If you're interested in adopting her, our team can arrange a meet and greet. If you have children or another dog at home, please bring them along so they can meet Dash too.
