About Brutus (On Trial)
--- On trial in a new home 23/9/12 ----
Brutus is affectionate and adventurous. He loves playing ball, tug or war, exploring the garden as well as snuggling up for a cuddle and a nap. He would like you to think he is big and tough, but he is gentle and has a heart of gold. A fast learner and good teacher to his little brother, jax. He is very social with other dogs – big and small, and is getting used to walking on the lead. He sleeps inside with his brother and will need a big backyard and a loving and caring family prepared to return the love and affection he has to offer. Dog rescue newcastle www. Dogrescuenewcastle.

Read about our Adoption Procedure on our website: http://www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au/adopt.html#procedure
If you see a dog on our website then ither ring or email the contact person listed on the pet's description (contact us if you can't reach them). The pet's foster carer can tell you all about the pet. They will also ask you about what sort of home you are offering in order to assess if it is a good match.
Arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carers home or nearby.
If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. They will ask to see photo ID to prove you live there.
If both sides agree, then you can adopt your new family member! When you pick up your new pet, you will be asked to:
- sign 2 copies of our Adoption Agreement
- sign a NSW Companion Animals Register-Change of Owner/Details form, and
- pay the Adoption Fee (cash, bank cheque, postal order, or direct debit)
The two week trial begins on the day of adoption. If, at the end of the trial period, you are happy to adopt the pet, and we are happy to allow it, then we complete the change of ownership paperwork and register it at council making the pet yours.
About a week or two later you will receive the ownership documentation in the mail, along with your new pet's vaccination and desexing certificates. If you decide to return the animal within the trial period we will refund your Adoption Fee less a $50 admin fee.
This is just a guide. Special arrangements and variations to the procedure are made when you live outside the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie area. Most of our pets are available for interstate adoption. Please contact us about this procedure.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
